"This headscarf looks thick, but it's actually quite breathable when you put it on. It doesn't feel stuffy at all." Suihe put on the matching headscarf and sighed repeatedly.
Wei Yunlan was also changing clothes. Upon hearing this, she twisted the fabric of the headscarf with her fingertips. It was very similar to the fabric used for clothes, but there were slight differences. It felt slippery at first touch, but when she twisted it carefully, she could feel the texture on it. It was somewhat similar to the gauze of Dayong, but not as clear as the gauze.
Wei Yunlan picked up the tea on the table and gently poured it on an inconspicuous part of the hem of her shirt.
Sure enough, after just a few breaths, the small patch of water had dried up.
Zou Yun's eyes lit up, "It would be great if this fabric could be used on the Southern Land Navy."
Their master is currently in the south. After the three states of Tan, Qian, and Yi are regulated and governed, the next step should be to develop the navy. If there is such a strong, breathable, and easy-to-dry fabric, as the soldiers' inner clothing, it will not be too heavy after entering the water, which is simply a tiger with wings.
"Knock knock." There was a knock on the door outside.
The maid asked politely outside the door, "I wonder if you have changed your clothes? Do you need me to come in and help?"
The maid spoke the same awkward Dayong language as Sang Ge did before.
"No need, just wait a moment, we'll be there soon." Wei Yunlan raised his voice and responded.
When he looked at Zou Yun, they both saw deep confusion in each other's eyes.
"We'll play it by ear."
Wei Yunlan took a few steps closer to Zou Yun and whispered in her ear, "Be careful Sang Ge. I feel like he invited us here for more reasons than he seems to."
There is no such thing as enthusiasm without reason in the world.
What's more, this enthusiasm comes from the princes and nobles of a country?
"Dear guests, please come this way. The young prince is waiting for you in the banquet hall." The maid made a gesture of invitation and led Wei Yunlan and the other two to a building with white walls and a golden roof in front.
The banquet hall here is similar to the layout of the mansion of the Duke and Marquis of Dayong for banquets on weekdays.
The host's seat is at the top, and there are seats for guests on both sides, facing the center, arranged from the top to the bottom.
Chen Yan, Wang Luxian and Wei Yunlan changed their clothes one after another and were already seated. At the invitation of Sang Ge, who was sitting at the host seat, they were tasting the unique mulberry wine of the Mosan Kingdom.
The wine is purple-red in color, slightly bitter at first, with a sweet aftertaste and a unique fruity aroma.
"Mulberry wine paired with these snacks made from camel milk has a unique flavor." Sang Ge said to Wei Yunlan, "The distinguished guests should come to the table and taste the specialties of our Mosang country."
Wei Yunlan, Zou Yun and Sui He took their seats opposite Chen Yan and Wang Lu respectively.
A waiter immediately filled their glasses with wine.
"The milk cake next to you is the seven-star cake that is unique to our place. It has the stars and the moon. It is only made around the Moon Worship Festival every year." Sang Ge, who was sitting at the main seat, introduced it to the few people in a torrent of words.
The number "seven" is taken from the name of the Seven Star Cake, not only because it is named after the Big Dipper, but also because this cake does have seven flavors, ranging in color from light to dark, and in milk flavor from light to strong. According to Sangge, this is because the llama cheese used to make them has different fermentation times.
"This cake is the best to go with wine, it can just offset the bitterness of mulberry wine." Sang Ge said, and asked the waiter to fill his glass. He raised the wine cup and toasted to Wei Yunlan and others below: "This glass is for the distinguished guests who have come from afar. Welcome to Mosang Country."
He drank the full glass of wine.
Wei Yunlan and others also raised their glasses and drank the wine in the glasses.
After drinking one cup, Sangge ordered the waiter to fill the second cup, "This cup is for the upcoming Moon Worship Festival. This is the most important festival in our Mosan country. The people of Mosan country pray for blessings every year on the Moon Worship Festival. I also hope that you can get this good luck and be blessed by the Moon God!"
As he said this, he drank another whole cup.
"The third cup, toast to..."
After a few drinks, Sang Ge became more and more talkative. He took Wei Yunlan and his group to introduce many customs and features of the Mosan Kingdom. He also asked Wei Yunlan and others indirectly about the features of their hometown.
He also inquired about their trip, both openly and secretly, to find out whether there were only five of them and why they didn't bring more followers with them.
Wei Yunlan and his companions answered all these questions in a confusing manner, and never clearly told them from the beginning to the end that they came from a strange country thousands of miles away from Mosan Kingdom, which was completely outside the territory that neither of them knew.
The night deepens.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone's faces turned red and everyone looked a little drunk.
Wei Yunlan picked up the wine glass and swayed slightly. Then he smiled apologetically to Sang Ge at the table above him, "I'm really sorry, I can't hold my liquor and I'm a little tired..."
Zou Yun and Sui He beside him also looked like they were about to get drunk.
Chen Yan and Wang Lu, who were sitting opposite them, were not much better than them.
Sang Ge was stunned for a moment, then quickly said: "It's all my fault. I'm so happy to see you. Why don't we stop here today and wait until you have rested well, then I will host a banquet for you."
"Come here, help the guests go down to rest."
The waiters came in one after another, two people supporting one, and helped Wei Yunlan and the other four back to their respective rooms.
The one who supported Wei Yunlan was the maid who was able to communicate with them when they were changing clothes. After being supported and leaning down on the couch, Wei Yunlan waved her hand and said, "I'm not used to having someone waiting on me. Pour me a glass of water, and you can go down and rest."
"Yes." The maid said respectfully.
After completing Wei Yunlan's instructions, he walked out of the room.
As soon as the sound of the door closing was heard, Wei Yunlan, who had a flushed face and hazy eyes, suddenly opened his eyes wide and regained his clarity.
She wasn't really drunk, she was just pretending.
In fact, whether it was the wine, food or cakes, she did not really eat anything from Mosang Country at the banquet, but quietly stored them all in her space. In order to make it look more convincing, she also substituted some of the wine and cakes she brought from Dayong.
All the replacement actions were carried out after the food was ingested. It was impossible for anyone else to notice the problem except herself.
Similarly, the wine and food used by Suihe were also prepared by her and put into the space. Except for the initial moment of stunned expression, Suihe did not show any surprised expression, which made people discover a clue.
"Knock, knock." Two soft sounds came from the roof.
Zou Yun's figure climbed into the house along the chimney on the fireplace.
Sure enough, she, Chen Yan and Wang Lu were also pretending to be drunk.
Everybody was awake.
