Lady of the Lord From the East

Chapter 90

The trend of straw hats led by the Countess gradually ceased to be just popular among peasant women working in the fields. It began to spread from bottom to top and swept all the classes in Sardinson.

When Wei Wei noticed, whether it was a serf, a freedman, or a wealthy businessman and the daughter of a nobleman, they would wear a hat on their head when they went out. Well, the hats worn by people with higher status are larger and the materials are different. The serfs and most of the free people wear straw hats, which are mostly decorated with bows made of rags or flowers picked from the wild. The female relatives of wealthier merchants use linen to make hats, and their decorations are of a higher grade. Colored cloth strips, various beautiful shells, and flowers planted in their gardens are their favorites. The ladies of the nobles are even more gorgeous. The hats are made of more expensive fabrics, and lace ribbons are a must-have decoration. In addition, they also add brightly colored feathers and various gemstones on them.

When Wei Wei had time to go shopping with Dolores in Dingle, she got off the carriage and saw the various hats on the heads of the women on the street. She almost thought she was wearing the Renaissance era hundreds of years later.

Fortunately, she soon discovered that this was just her illusion. Although the women wore gorgeous hats, their clothes were still in the overall style of this period. Compared with simple clothes, the gorgeous hats were a little out of place. No one thinks there's anything wrong with this, women seem to put their regrets about not being able to decorate their hair on the hat mountain. When someone admires their hats, the followers will hold their heads high and be proud of the other party's Walked in sight.

To be honest, the painting style is a bit exaggerated, but fortunately, the women who can walk on the street are free people. Of course, there are no nobles who can afford to wear high-end hats decorated with gems, so most of them are decorated with ribbons and flowers. Shells and the like, look gorgeous but not too extravagant.

Wei Wei, who was wearing a newly knitted pot hat with a big bow, was not very conspicuous in the group, and a new layer of gauze was added to her hat. The gauze was woven with flax rope. The fine mesh made of her will not affect the sight when it is put down, but it can make her face invisible to others and can cover up her oriental face which is different from Europeans.

The reason for this is because this time Wei Wei just wants to go shopping quietly and doesn't want to be watched by other people. Today is different from the past. If other people know that the Countess is coming to town, I am afraid that it will not take long for her to be around. A bunch of businessmen trying to chat and sell their products, and then she'd be nowhere to be seen.

In order not to be discovered, they didn't even ride in a carriage with the Earl's family crest but chose a carriage that looked very old without the family crest.

In order not to be recognized, a group of four women, from the master to the maid, were all very inconspicuous, and they all wore gauze hats. If you couldn't see your face, you didn't have to worry about being recognized. Wei Wei was worried about it. The dress of this group of people would look out of place in the crowd, but I didn't expect Dingle, and the women on the road to put on various hats on their heads.

However, compared with a tight veil, a ventilated straw hat is more suitable for this kind of hot weather, and the price of the straw hat is very cheap, which is much cheaper than the price of the veil.

They went shopping smoothly without attracting any attention.

The proposal to go shopping came from Dolores and Wei Wei saying that she had run out of embroidery thread and wanted to go out to buy some. This was a very rare request for Dolores, who seldom went out. In the past, she needed anything. The maid helped to prepare, but now she has to go out to buy it herself. This obvious change is gratifying, so Wei Wei naturally agrees and takes time to accompany her.
