Lady of the Lord From the East

Baroness Hunt felt that Wei Wei was making excuses. She did not believe that such a young girl could serve as a governess for a noble lady.

But after Felix admitted this, she could only reluctantly watch the two girls leave hand in hand, secretly slandering that Wei Wei must have tricked the young Count with her face to make him do such an unwise act Decide.

I am afraid that the young lady who was taught by such a person is just a fake.

She seems to have seen that two years later, the young lady of the earl's house will make a big face when she enters the social world.

Wei Wei didn't care what she was thinking, she and Dolores left the dining room, instead of going to the room usually used for class, they took her to her room, lest those people (especially Little Hunter) find her. An excuse to come up again.

As soon as Dolores left the restaurant, after making sure that those people would not hear her, she took a deep breath and groaned: "I hate Baron Hunter's son."

"Obviously, I don't like it either." Wei Wei nodded, agreeing with her idea: "That little Mr. Hunter is too utilitarian at first sight. He is obviously trying to play your mind. If you don't want to be entangled by him, Stay away from him from now on."

Just noticed this little Hunter's hypocritical expression when he looked at Dolores, Wei Wei almost didn't scold her as a pervert. He didn't even look at how old Dolores was, so he started to make bad ideas. Send him to jail!

Dolores was very happy to hear Wei Wei say the same thoughts as herself, but then she was a little worried: "Brother Phil will let me get engaged to him?"

Wei Wei affirmed: "No, he also hates Baron Hunt's family, and you are still young, you don't need to think about this kind of thing now."

Even if the current law stipulates that girls can get married at the age of fourteen, and Dolores is the age to be engaged at twelve, Wei Wei firmly disagrees with her students getting engaged so early, and obviously the other party is not a suitable one. Choice, I think Felix wouldn't make such an unwise decision foolishly.

With the affirmation of her future sister-in-law, Dolores immediately felt at ease.

In order to avoid Baron Hunt's family, Wei Wei not only changed the classroom and extended the class time, but also changed the math class that Dolores didn't like very much to an embroidery class, letting her continue to make her own baby clothes. Wei Wei was studying Western herbal medicine while reading a book.

Halfway through, Dolores suddenly stopped and turned to look at Wei Wei: "Sister Weiwei, do you think these clothes can be made into adults' styles?"

She made a lot of baby clothes this month. From the original craftsmanship, it took several days for a dress to be made, and she often had to disassemble it after sewing mistakes. Now she can make one in one day, and even beaten The version has been learned in a similar fashion.

Wei Wei, who was fascinated by the book, replied casually: "Of course you can, just do it according to the body shape of an adult."

The little girl listened, staring at the beautiful little skirt on her doll, showing a look of yearning.

In the afternoon, other guests also arrived at the castle one after another. Dolores did not go to receive the guests. As a higher-status and young master, Felix didn't call him, she only needed to be at the dance at night. Appeared, and Wei Wei didn't even need to go, she herself was a guest.

This was hard for Felix, because he found that not only Baron Hunt's family, but several other barons were also playing his mind. They brought their sisters and daughters of their own age, or other unmarried female relatives. The former With a noble status, the latter has an outstanding appearance, staring at Felix as if he were looking at sweet honey.

Why did Wei Wei know this, of course, because Penny volunteered to go to find out the news. Since Wei Wei received the earrings from Felix last time and wore them, everyone in the castle thought that the day of their engagement was not far away. It won't be too far, so everyone is happy to give the two maids some face and tell them some news.

Especially after comparing Baroness Hunt's family's attitude towards servants, they are more willing to not put on airs, and Wei Wei, who has a mild personality, becomes their future countess.

Although she can understand the actions of those nobles, Wei Wei admitted that she was indeed a little unhappy after hearing the news.

Two hours before the dance started, Dolores left Wei Wei's room and went back to prepare for the dance, and Wei Wei also began to groom.

Qin put the previously ordered dress on the bed and looked at Wei Wei who was combing her hair: "Miss Weiwei, do you want to wear makeup today?"

"You know I don't like make-up." Wei Wei was sitting in front of the mirror teaching Penny to make her hair, and when she heard that, she glanced at the makeup box on the table: "But today is indeed an exception."

After the hair was done, without the maid's hands, Wei Wei painted herself a simple version of peach blossom makeup.

The thrush and eyeliner are made of Luozidai. This kind of cosmetics, which was very famous in ancient China, is a specialty of Persia. Persian merchants sell it all over the world, and it can be found in the far east. It will not be missing. The one that Wei Wei used was given to her by Felix from the housekeeper. The original owner was his deceased sister-in-law. Although it is a bit unlucky to use the deceased person's things, there are almost no foreign ones in Sardinson County. Merchants will come, and she thinks buying it herself is unlikely at the moment.

She also obtained all kinds of cosmetics from the sister-in-law, but unless Wei Wei wanted to be poisoned, she would not touch those things made of lead powder.

She used her homemade rouge for eye shadow and lip makeup. The recipe was a rouge recipe from ancient China found in the encyclopedia library. After researching for a long time, she gathered the materials and made a box. It is easy to use as a blush, lipstick or eye shadow, and it is guaranteed to be pure natural and harmless.

Originally, it was best to put on a thin layer of foundation to make the makeup perfect, but Wei Wei has not been able to find the right material to make a harmless foundation, so she skipped this step. Fortunately, her skin is already very good. , Even without powder and peach makeup, it still looks good.

With makeup on, Wei Wei is more charming than usual, just like the peach blossom she used rouge on her forehead, but she couldn't see the makeup on her face if she didn't take a closer look, and it was expensive at this time. The popular makeup styles of the ladies are completely different. If they hadn't watched her put on makeup, Jean and Penny would have thought she was just like this.

The makeup fit perfectly with her custom rose pink dress.

"My lady, you are so beautiful."

With a series of praises from the two maids, Wei Wei felt that she was probably a fairy now.

Oh, in European custom, it should be an angel descending to earth.

Originally, Wei Wei matched her dress with a good set of jewelry, which she chose from the box of jewelry, but today Wei Wei decided not to wear it. She put on pearl earrings from Felix.

When she was all done, there was a knock on the door.

Penny walked over to open the door, and Felix, who had also changed into a dress to pick up someone, stood outside.

"Weiwei—" The count, who wanted to ask her if she was dressed up, was at a loss for words when he saw the girl who turned to look over.

Although he didn't say anything, everyone didn't miss the surprise on his face.

Penny and Jean looked at each other, snickering and stepped aside.

At this time, in the castle hall, the guests had gathered, and the five barons brought their families without exception. The number of guests was several times larger than expected, which led to insufficient seats in the originally arranged restaurant. After ordering, I immediately reported to Felix, and changed the meal before the dance to a buffet.

Before the host of the dance party appeared, the men and women talked separately about the topics they were interested in, but without exception, they all chose the place to chat beside the long table where the food was placed, the plates in each hand It's so full of delicious food that people forget to put their forks in their mouths, even while talking.

Although it was a bit rude to eat before the host arrived, but this was not in the restaurant, so there were not so many concerns.

And the food in Sardinsonburg is so **** good, once you taste it, no one can resist their charm.

"Lord Earl must be a new chef. These foods are really delicious. I have never eaten such a delicious steak. It is not smelly at all, but it is fragrant and makes me want to swallow more."

"Yes, this kind of delicacy is probably only qualified for the great nobles in the royal capital. I bet that the new chef must have been invited back from the royal capital."

"It would be great if we could eat such delicious food in the future."

The young people brought by their elders were also eating, but they were talking more about the noble ladies next to them.

Like the girls, they came with their parents and elders this time to make plans for their future marriage.

But not everyone is targeting Dolores.

Many of the second generation of these baron families are about the same age as Felix. Compared with the young earl's lady, the ladies from other noble families are a little worse in the family world, but they are closer in age and more in line with their appearance. Their aesthetics, that is their favorite goal.

And the noble ladies also agree with them on this point. Their first goal is Felix. If not, then find another marriage partner with good conditions. Everyone is the descendant of the baron family. The positions are all matched.

It can be said that for young men and women, this dance is more of a blind date.

Compared with the men who eat with oily mouths, the lady has to be more reserved. Although their eating speed is also not slow, their posture is better, and everyone's topic is not on this.

At this time, Baroness Hunter was eating more delicious food than the lunch meal, while whispering about Wei Wei's existence to several other baronesses.

"What are the nobles of the silk country, so how can the noble ladies from distant countries come to us?"

Others nodded in agreement: "Yes, the country of Si is on another continent, who would let a woman on board?"

A baroness said harshly: "I'm afraid she's not a serious woman."

Another lady took the opportunity to answer: "You mean?"

"Didn't Mrs. Hunt say she's pretty? Maybe it's a dancer girl or something. You know, only women of that status are allowed to be on board." As a commodity.

The others nodded in succession. Although they had not met Wei Wei yet, it did not prevent them from slandering her when they knew that the Count had a favorable opinion of her.

And what Mrs. Hunter wanted was this result. She never mentioned the noble temperament she felt from Wei Wei, nor did she say that she was not ordinary beautiful, but was happy to see other people belittle the girl and compare her daughter. exotic girl.

At this time, her daughter was also being informed about Wei Wei by other noble girls.

Thanks to Baroness Hunt's publicity, all visitors now know that their newly appointed young earl seems to have a crush on an exotic girl, which is not good news for the young ladies who come with the count's favor. .

Compared with the identity of Wei Wei that the ladies were concerned about, they wanted to know what the girl looked like and what was special about it.

Miss Hunter thought of the girl she saw in the afternoon. She didn't even have makeup on, and the skirt she was wearing was not fashionable (without big sleeves), but she was nothing compared to the well-dressed one.

But out of jealousy, she couldn't say good things about the other party. As for what was special, she didn't even know. After all, she only saw that side.

So I just reluctantly said when others asked: "It can only be said that it is very exotic and very unique."

Other girls automatically understood this sentence as not very beautiful, and it was only because of the exotic atmosphere that the count was moved.

Combined with the conversations of the ladies next to her, in their imaginations, Wei Wei has become a pretty, perhaps hot, exotic dancer.

And no matter how outrageous the nobles are, they will not marry a foreign dancer, which will make other nobles feel ashamed.

A few girls who were chosen by their respective families because of their beauty snorted in disdain, thinking that such people are not worthy of being their rivals in love. Compared to them, the girls with the same identities around them are more threatening.

So after (thinking) it was determined that Wei Wei would not affect their goal of becoming a countess, the ball became a battleground for the noble ladies, and no one thought about the unseen foreign visitor.

until-

"Lord Earl Felix Williams, Miss Dolores, Miss Wei Wei is here!"

At the notice of the servant, everyone's eyes turned to the door.

When they saw the older of the two girls who came in with Felix holding hands, everyone's expressions were amazed and stunned.

Not as good-looking as they expected, but with a hot enough figure, there is only one girl with noble temperament, elegant demeanor, and even more beautiful appearance.

The moment they saw her, all the girls' hearts fell heavily with a result that they didn't want to admit, but had to admit.

They lost.

At this time, the sky outside had not completely turned black, and the castle hall was even more splendid under the illumination of hundreds of candles. The noble and elegant girl was carefully pulled into the banquet hall by the young earl. Under the candlelight, it was not only her earlobe that sparkled. of pearls, and a face so delicate that no flaw could be found.

Yes, she may not look so local, but no one can deny that she is not only better than them in temperament, but also delicate enough to be ashamed of herself.

Look at her confident and noble demeanor, the smile on the corner of her mouth is so decent, is that something a dancer can have?

If such girls are not nobles, what are they compared to? The peasant girl who toiled in the pigsty all day?

When Felix held Dolores and Wei Wei through the crowd, one by one, all the girls who were squatting and saluting couldn't help but look up at her.

Under the close contact, a fact that was even more unbelievable for them was discovered.

This exotic girl is not only beautiful from a distance, but also perfect from a close up.

"Oh God, her skin is so good, I can't even see her pores." A baron's lady who was not so obsessed with Lord Count, who was just about to find a suitable fiancé at the ball, whispered with admiration.

And her words made other girls and even the ladies couldn't help touching their faces.

As we all know, European women, especially white people, have poor skin. Large pores and spots are the most common problems, which are unavoidable in later generations with a lot of skin care products.

In order to make their skin look fair and delicate, today's noble women will apply lead powder on their faces to make themselves look fair and delicate, but no one knows that it is poisonous, so the skin of women who use lead powder will It gets worse and worse as time goes on, and when they get old, they don't even dare to see their makeup after they are removed.

This is the case with several baronesses, who are now afraid to remove their makeup even while sleeping.

In comparison, young noble ladies seldom use lead powder even if they make up before marriage, because they are usually very young at this time and may have spots on their faces, but their skin is still delicate.

But look at what they just saw, the face of the foreign lady, like a delicate rose with dewdrops in the morning, not to mention freckles, even thick pores can't be seen, this is really enviable .

The lady baron, who couldn't help speaking before, stared at Wei Wei in front of her, remembered the freckles on her face, and whispered everyone's thoughts: "I really want to know how she takes care of her skin."

Another baroness beside her focused on another point: "She smells really good, is it floral?"

"Her hairstyle and skirt are also different from ours. Is it a popular style in Wangdu?"

After seeing Wei Wei, the group of noble ladies who came with a mission suddenly didn't remember their mission much. Compared with the handsome Earl, they were more concerned about Wei Wei at the moment.

Why is her skin so good, why is she so fragrant, and even her hairstyle, her skirt has become the target of girls' attention.

Some people envy her, some people envy her, but without exception, no one can keep calm in front of this exotic girl

No way, the oldest of this group of so-called school-age girls is only sixteen years old, and the youngest is even about the same as Dolores. Compared with them, Felix can be their father at his age. Perhaps one of them There are people who like the count because of his identity and appearance, but don't care about age, but this is no better than the pursuit of beauty by girls who don't actually know what love is.

Besides, admiring the Count is not contrary to their love for beauty.

If I can be like her... so beautiful and noble... let alone a frontier earl, I can capture even the great nobles of the royal capital!

A few noble ladies who were very confident in their own beauty and thought that they were only losing in grooming and maintenance looked at Wei Wei ambitiously, thinking in their hearts, how to get those beauty secrets out of her mouth.

Compared to the girls, the men's reactions were more straightforward.

The eyes they looked at Wei Wei were coveted for beauty, sticky and bold, and some of them were even disgusting, but when they realized that the exotic beauty's dance partner was Felix, those disgusting eyes were not allowed. Do not hide.

Wei Wei, who is particularly sensitive to other people's gaze, did not miss this point. She wrote down those people who made her uncomfortable, but she still smiled dignifiedly and looked sideways at Felix's speech.

At the center of the crowd, Felix announced the beginning of the dance after speaking his prepared opening remarks.

The sound of music came from the corner again. This was a song Wei Wei was very familiar with. Wei Wei used it for most of the accompaniment in her dance class.

The guests consciously gave up more space and waited for the Count to dance.

Just when the guests thought that Felix's first dance was dancing with her sister, Dolores obediently stepped aside and gave the space to her brother and teacher.

Although I had a hunch for a long time, after seeing that Lord Earl's opening dance was really with Wei Wei, many of the guests' faces became unsightly.

There is a well-known unspoken rule in the aristocratic circle. The first dance of a pair of unmarried men and women who have nothing to do with each other means that they have a good impression of each other. If the dance is still the opening dance started by the owner of the dance, then It is tantamount to announcing directly to everyone that they are about to make an enviable couple.

Even the next moment Felix suddenly said that today is their engagement, everyone would not be surprised, because this is the fact that the Count wanted to announce to everyone.

The faces of the baronesses who were still slandering Wei Wei's identity with almost vicious words just now were very ugly, and four of them couldn't help but glared at Baroness Hunter because it was her inducement that made them say that. Ugly words.

And now, Wei Wei is almost destined to be the next countess. If she knows what they are talking about today, she will definitely make her hate them. Along with that, I am afraid that the parity of the counts to their respective families will become lower.

Baroness Hunt felt equally uncomfortable at this time. Other people's comments on Wei Wei were just some private rumors, as long as they were not found out, it didn't matter.

But she attacked her directly at the previous dining table. If Wei Wei at that time could only be said to be a foreign visitor who was admired by the Count but had no foundation, then now, she She is really a noble lady who is about to have the support of the entire Williams family.

Look at the admiration in the eyes of the Count when they danced. As the heir to the family, he can marry the woman he loves without the interference of his elders, even if it is just a poor girl, and Wei Wei, she is at least a noble.

She was almost a certain countess.

And she may have offended the future countess.

After thinking about this, Baroness Hunter panicked, and cold sweat broke out, causing the lead powder on her face to be washed away with tiny traces.
