Lady of the Lord From the East

Chapter 60

After it was determined that the queen's change was really because of Wei Wei, Countess Nelson's desire to talk was even higher.

She began to ask Wei Wei how the queen's makeup was drawn and where she bought the makeup.

Although she was dissatisfied with Mirabelle, her change still moved her heart.

Unfortunately, the eye shadow used for eye makeup is made by Wei Wei herself, and there are no ready-made products.

When she heard that these cosmetics were made by her, Countess Nelson was very surprised: "You did it yourself? Do you still know medicine?"

The production methods of cosmetics in this era are all in the hands of pharmacists and doctors and are regarded as important formulas that can be passed down to future generations.

And because of the church's resistance to women's make-up — they thought it was sinful and immoral, and that women were too pretty to seduce men, especially those who were married — before all kinds of makeup needed to be done by doctors and pharmacists The limited editions distributed, even the nobles, had to line up to get them from them, and it was impossible to buy them on the market.

However, in recent years, because there are too many women protesting, and some unexplainable changes within the church, there are also merchants selling these items on the market, but the production method is still in the hands of doctors and pharmacists.

That's why Mrs. Nelson thinks that Wei Wei understands medicine.

But it is very doubtful that she can master medical skills as a noble, and women are not allowed to become pharmacists and doctors, no matter whether they are nobles or commoners.

Wei Wei knew that her identity was fake, and she was always vigilant about this. Although she heard that Countess Nelson didn't have any doubts, it was just pure surprise, and she immediately explained.

"It's just a personal hobby. Our country's customs are different from Prady's. Aristocratic women will learn as much knowledge as possible before they get married. Medicine is one of them." Wei Wei said: "Everyone thinks that the person who becomes a mother can master it. Certain medical knowledge can better take care of your children."

This reason is indeed very good. Countess Nelson did not doubt it, but she just disapproved of it: "The noble women of your country are really hard work. It would be better if the children were not taken care of by servants and nanny."

Wei Wei didn't speak. According to the knowledge she had learned from the etiquette teacher before, it's better that an unmarried girl like her should not participate in such a topic that belongs to women, otherwise it will be considered a very unladylike behavior.

The speaking Countess Nelson also thought of the question and quickly turned the subject back to cosmetics.

She opened her mouth to ask Wei Wei if she had any plans to sell these. Unlike China's emphasis on farming and suppressing business, the European side takes business as a matter of course. Most nobles have their industries, and they don't think there is anything wrong with this.

Of course, because of the so-called honor of aristocrats, some people think that aristocrats should not do anything about production and enjoy themselves, so they choose to cooperate with merchants and only take the money and do nothing.

So Countess Nelson spoke directly to Wei Wei to talk about business, which can be said to be the norm here.

Wei Wei originally had this plan, otherwise she wouldn't have spent a lot of time getting so many cosmetics for the queen.
