I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 315 Uninvited Guest

Call ~
The cool autumn wind blew on my face, making the hairs on my hair stand on end. Xia Qingdai lay on the hammock, swayed for a while, pulled up the soft blanket on her belly, smelled the fragrance of the sun on it, and resumed her lazy posture.

From time to time, you can still hear a "crackling" sound in your ears, which is the sound of chestnuts being roasted and exploded on the fire.

In autumn, roasted chestnuts and skewered wild mushrooms are outdoor delicacies not to be missed.

Miss Bai and Jane were working on the barbecue grill together. The smokeless bamboo charcoal underneath was the stock of Fucui Villa. One piece Xia Qingdai took from modern times is enough for the Lilliputian country to use for a long time.

"Xia, these chestnuts are roasted, come down and eat." Jane turned around and shouted.

Xia Qingdai took off the hat covering her face, looked at the two people grilling and smiled: "I don't want to move, I just want to be lazy and you guys eat."

Jane took the bowl filled with chestnuts and walked to Xia Qingdai: "Haha, little lazy boy, I have to deliver it to your door."

"I don't want it if it's delivered to my door." Xia Qingdai looked at Jane with a smile, "It's too troublesome to peel off."

"Oh, my God." Jane was defeated by Xia Qingdai's statement.

While the two were chatting and laughing, Xia Qingdai heard a "rustling" sound coming from the oak forest.

This was the sound of human feet stepping on fallen leaves, and there was more than one person. There were footsteps of both men and women. With Xia Qingdai's ear, she was able to distinguish them immediately.

"Someone is here." Xia Qingdai took the chestnuts that Jane peeled for her and threw them into her mouth, and then said calmly.

"Who is here?" Jane and Miss Bai asked in unison.

At this time, Xia Qingdai had already heard the voices of the Brown brothers and sisters, and raised her chin slightly: "Well, there they are, those from Mr. Brown's family."

Jane and Miss Bai followed Xia Qingdai's gaze to the oak forest. After a while, a group of people walked out of the forest, and the leader was Mr. Brown's cousin, Mr. Lister.

As soon as he came out of the oak forest, he saw three ladies having a barbecue by the lake in the distance. He excitedly took off his hat and raised his hands: "Ladies, good afternoon!"

Jane and Miss Bai lifted up their skirts and curtsied in the distance.

Xia Qingdai scanned the group of people who came and knew that the person leading them was Owen's cousin Caroline, but she did not see Owen himself.

In the countryside of the 18th century, idle squire ladies had nothing more to do than visiting, chatting and dating.

The four Brown brothers and sisters, their cousins, and Caroline, a group of seven people, joined the lakeside barbecue team and immediately broke the tranquility of the valley.

When Xia Qingdai was lying in the hammock, she could hear the crackling of chestnuts, the flapping of robin's wings, and the sound of wind blowing through the forest tops.

But now a group of "chirping" voices were added, and suddenly there was only noise.

Miss Bai gently pulled Xia Qingdai's skirt hanging under the hammock, probably to remind her to get up quickly and maintain her appearance, but the latter was completely unmoved.

She can do whatever she wants on her own territory, and she still cares about the feelings of uninvited guests.

If you don't like it, you don't have to interact with him. Anyway, she doesn't want to move now.

But some people just don't have the eyesight to see. Mr. Liszt didn't notice anything. He walked straight to Xia Qingdai's hammock, leaned against the tree trunk next to her head, looked down at Xia Qingdai and smiled smartly: "Ms. Xia, this lakeside Isn't the scenery beautiful? I didn't expect that there is such a valley hidden in Fucui Villa." Xia Qingdai frowned slightly: "Sorry, you are blocking my sunshine. Can you please give me a break?"

Liszt didn't expect Xia Qingdai to say that, and was very surprised. He spread his hands and shrugged: "I'm sorry."

Disgraced, Liszt walked away. Mr. Brown, who was helping the barbecue next to Miss Bai, saw this and was overjoyed: "Haha, Li, Miss Xia is a princess from the East, and she is not someone you can flirt with casually. ”

Xia Qingdai ignored their conversation, but she couldn't lie down anymore. Because Liszt's sister, Miss Nancy, walked towards Xia Qingdai and wanted to chat.

Xia Qingdai simply got up, walked to Jane Austen, and played with the roasted chestnuts with her.

“Ms. We have been coming to Fucui Villa every day for a few days, but we haven’t seen you. Where have you been?”

Xia Qingdai said calmly: "Study tour."

"Wow, that's great. Where are you going to study? Are you so brave? Are you a girl going out on a study tour alone?"

Xia Qingdai smiled at her and remained silent.

There was a lot of excitement here, and after a while, Owen, who had finished handling the daily disputes under his jurisdiction, came over.

Through the oak forest, Owen, wearing a white shirt, strode over, followed by a pony.

"Ah, Mr. Irving is here." Nancy looked at the handsome figure coming out of the oak forest with bright eyes, her face shining brightly.

Xia Qingdai looked away and waved to him happily: "Owen! Is it Xiao Hui?"

"Ah."

Owen soon arrived at the lake. After the two parties greeted each other, he led the pony to Xia Qingdai: "I thought you might want to take a look at it."

"Oh, yes, I love it! What a cute little guy!"

Xia Qingdai happily knelt down, helped the pony remove the simple rope tied around its neck, and stroked the pony's furry head. Looking at its clear and innocent big eyes, your heart will become cute!
"Xiao Hui has gotten a little bigger!"

Maybe it was because when the pony was born, Xia Qingdai was squatting beside it to watch. The first figure it saw when it opened its eyes was Xia Qingdai, who was still in shadow form at that time. Therefore, he was very affectionate to her, and he cupped her hand very cooperatively, like a dog!
"This pony is so good. Is it a new member of your farm?" Nancy asked curiously from the side.

"Yeah." Xia Qingdai responded casually and was busy interacting with Xiao Ma.

The cute and docile pony instantly became the center of attention of the ladies. Everyone gathered around the pony and started a new round of topics about horses.

"This pony is so healthy, and its fur is so beautiful. It looks like it is eating fine food." Miss Brown looked at the healthy and lively pony and thought of the situation at home. She couldn't help but sigh, "Our mare has been there recently. Broken leg, ugh.”

Their Taole Manor is not as luxurious as Fucui Villa, and the stables are full of horses.

The cost of raising a horse is higher than that of a servant, even if they are country squires, they only have three horses in the house.

The horse that belongs to the Brown sisters is an old mare that recently broke its leg. It is not known whether it will grow well and whether it will be able to run with them when it does.
