"Don't explode! I'll wait until I finish painting!" Hong Tao's big words attracted Hong Yu's opposition. It was setting sun, and the sea was reflected in a layer of orange-red light. Under the backlight of the Palermo Port, the upper layer of the city seemed to be plated with gold, but the lower layer was even darker. This composition was beautiful, and Hong Yu had already put on a small drawing board to outline it.

"Okay, let your Uncle Carl's relatives live for a few more days, and we should have dinner!" Hong Tao touched Hong Yu's head and agreed to his daughter's request very happily. In fact, he liked this small port city very much, especially the climate here, which was lukewarm and hot, with plenty of sunshine, clear water, and gentle sea breeze. The emperor's cousin, Carl, is not stupid either. He is willing to live here personally, and only a fool would go to the castle north of the Alps to endure the raging wind.

As soon as lunch was finished the next day, the lookout hand issued an alarm saying that a small boat was hanging on a black hawk, and the two flags of rat head were approaching the Golden River from the harbor. This time, Hong Tao did not let the fleet rise sails and enter the state of combat. It was just a small boat, and it was still hanging on a rat head flag. He knew that this was the only one who played in the Mediterranean.

It was indeed Carl who came, but Carl changed a lot at this time. Her beard was carefully repaired and no longer had to be thorny. Her hair was tied behind her head with an embroidered hairband, which looked quite energetic. As for her, according to Carl's previous introduction, he now dressed in a standard aristocratic dress. A white round-neck dress ranged from neck to ankle. This thing is called a blouse (buttock i). Different identities and occupations are different from the color and materials of the blouse. Nobles and priests are sewn with fine cotton or even silk, and civilians can only wear coarse cloth and linen.

The outer part of the shirt is a piece of cloth with a heart-collared collar. It is like a long piece of cloth digging a hole in the middle to cover the neck. The sides are not sealed. The length is also up to the feet, a few centimeters shorter than the shirt. The material of Karl is made of silk, covered with embroidery of several patterns, including eagles, lions and flowers. It looks as dazzling as the mosaic wall in the distance. This kind of clothes is called a suroat, which is a kind of clothing that only nobles can wear. They are usually worn by the shirt and are worn by the armor during wars. The patterns on it are all the emblems of the family’s ancestors. The purpose is to tell others who are their ancestors, who are their grandma’s family, who are their uncles, and who are they. If you are afraid, get out quickly, so that my aunt and aunt will come over to cause trouble for you!

At this point, the Europeans in the Middle Ages were more thoughtful than the Song people. They sewed their business cards on them. You could know who was coming, who was his identity, and what background they were, so that there would be no unnecessary misunderstandings. The Song Dynasty used the banner and the color of the official uniforms to distinguish them. This was a bit rough and it was impossible to know many details behind them, which was not conducive to mutual evaluation of their strength. Moreover, the literacy rate in medieval Europe was very low, and generally only priests, clerks, accountants, and lawyers recognized their words. Many nobles were illiterate, let alone ordinary people. No matter how clear your banner was written, it was useless. It was better to indicate the origin on the clothes intuitively. In this way, no matter where you went, the people would immediately know when they saw a little toad on your clothes. This was the emperor's brother-in-law. Don't mess with them, stay away!

There was also a belt around the waist of the long outer jacket, and a dagger was hung on the right side of the belt. Why was it on the right side? Because Carl was a left-handed man.

"Dad, dad, look at Uncle Carl's shoes..." Hong Tao was lying on the side of the boat with Luo Youde, Jiang Zhuyi, and Hong Yu were lying on the side of the boat like looking at the animals in the zoo, carefully looking at the clothes of Carl and the few people on the boat. Hong Yu's little eyes were pointed, poking Hong Tao's thighs, and whispering to report her major discovery.

"Hey, Uncle Carl wore a pair of hidden weapons. He planned to fall but his dad, so he used the tip of his shoes!" Hong Tao didn't need his daughter to remind him, but he saw the pair of leather shoes that were nearly two feet long and had a dagger-like tip on his feet. Some women's high heels in later generations were like this, but they were not as exaggerated as Carl's. It seems that popular things are of no new meaning, it's just turning over the past things and doing it again.

"Sir, this is the Count Henry, the attendant of His Majesty the Emperor. He and I took the Royal Guard to pick him up to the palace in person. Now I can guarantee that he will not be hurt at all. His Majesty the Emperor talked to me all night yesterday. He really wanted to meet him and thank you for your dearest cousin." Carl was much more dull in this outfit, and he was so embarrassed that he might have to fall down after stepping on it. He finally climbed onto the side of the boat and pulled the guy who was almost the same as him. Then he smiled and picked up Hong Yu and sent a formal invitation to Hong Tao.

"Little girl, do you want to go to the palace with Uncle Carl? There is a big garden there and there are many children as old as you. We will hold a dance party tonight and can dance to the fullest." In order to fool Hong Tao off the boat, Carl continued to fool Hong Yu. He knew what the crazy girl Hong Yu liked.

"Then Mother Jiang has to go with me too!" After a few months of familiarity, Jiang Zhuyi has been promoted from sister to mother. Her ability to please people is also a talent, especially for Hong Tao and his daughter.

"Go! Go! If your father is relieved, all crew members can go. The question is, is your father feel relieved?" Carl was a little enlightened and spoke much more generously.

"Of course I'm not relieved! You can go ashore, but we have to talk about several conditions first, otherwise I'll stay on the boat." Hong Tao wanted to go on the shore, especially looking at Hong Yu's eyes. He knew that his daughter wanted to go too. Since she was here, she should go up and take a look, but following her usual style, going ashore is going ashore, and the danger must be minimized.

"What conditions? As long as you don't push the cannon, it will be done!" Carl's reaction was very calm. If Hong Tao followed him ashore without mentioning any conditions, he would feel even more uneasy.

"I want to live according to Jinhewan's living habits, especially in terms of hygiene." Hong Tao stretched out his index finger and put forward the first condition.

"...No problem! I'll arrange these things!" Carl translated Hong Tao's words to Henry in a Latin-like word, and then nodded in agreement.

"Don't get close to my warship, no ship can be done, otherwise I will not guarantee that Huangya will not fire the cannon. At the same time, I will have to return whenever I return to my ship. I cannot stop it, even if there is a knife in the sky, I will not allow it!" Hong Tao stretched out his middle finger and put forward the second condition.

"I can do this." This time Carl was even more happy and directly agreed to Hong Tao's second condition.

"The last point, I won't kneel down to your cousin. Even if the Pope comes, I will bow at most!" Hong Tao gave his thumbs up again and put forward the last condition.

"...It's no problem, should we leave?" Carl turned his head and said a few words to Henry, agreed to Hong Tao's conditions again, and then made a gesture of asking for help.

"It's not possible..." Hong Tao didn't move at all.

"Why?" Carl was a little confused this time.

"Because ladies have to dress up, I have to dress up too. You know, it takes a lot of time to dress up for women, and they have to go to see the emperor again, so they have to wait..." Hong Tao did not extend his finger this time, and smirked at Jiang Zhuyi and Hong Xuan.

"Hehehe... I have to wait!" Carl knew that he had been fooled by Hong Tao again, so he got used to it. He turned around and said a few words to Henry, and then firmly expressed his support as Hong Tao looked.

"Oh... I'm going to the palace... I want to wear my most beautiful big skirt..." Hong Tao was on the boat, even Hong Yu was afraid of it. No one dared to express his opinion on his failure to nod. Until he said he was sure to get off the boat, Hong Yu and Jiang Zhuyi, who had been eager to try, finally had fun. No matter who there was an emperor's servant next to him, he rushed into the captain's room to change his clothes.

"Let's go, Brother Luo, change your clothes for guests, don't lose your etiquette." Hong Tao then walked towards the captain's office. He designed those clothes that he could not wear alone. He had to help, otherwise he would be shouting inside in a while.

It took two whole hours. Carl and Luo Youde were sitting on the chair on the deck and they were almost chatting about Nordic, and the door to the captain's room was opened. There were two ladies changing clothes inside. Except for Hong Tao who was shameless and shameless, no matter how anxious others were, they would not dare to urge them. They could only wait.

"Dang...dangdang;dangdang..." Before the person came out, Hong Tao's broken voice came out first, and it was the wedding march. Then a fairy in white clothes wearing a huge skirt, layer by layer of ruffles, small gauze wings sewn on the collar and shoulder seams, walked out, wearing a crown made of white gauze on her head, and a gauze scarf of more than three meters long behind it, held in Hong Yu's hand. Her round chest, thin waist, and huge skirts outlined Jiang Zhuyi particularly gracefully. Not to mention Carl and Luo Youde, even the emperor's attendant was secretly swallowing.

Xiao Hongluo and Jiang Zhuyi have much less feminine taste. She was wearing a silk embroidered skirt, which was similar to Jiang Zhuyi's, but she didn't have so many fragments on her body. She made a big bow with colorful silk on her waist, which echoed the small bow on her hair, and looked like a Barbie doll.

The last one came out was Hong Tao. He originally wanted to come out with Jiang Zhuyi's hand, but unfortunately the cabin door was not that wide. Jiang Zhuyi's skirt alone had to be compressed before he could get out. Today, Hong Tao had to dress up for the first time, ivory white cotton and linen trousers, white shirt, and a suit collar casual outfit with the same texture and color as his pants. In addition to the weird style, the only thing that attracted the attention was the buttons, and the three buttons were all golden trunks.

It is inlaid with a large gem, and wrapped in gold wire, one transparent, one emerald green, and one blood red! It is not enough to have a buckle that is a gem. Although Hong Tao doesn't like to burn bags, he runs around in a captain's uniform all day long, but he really wants to burn bags. Most people can't burn him. Three big gems can only be considered themes, and there are also a string of small gem buttons on the cuffs. Even the shoelaces of the handmade whale leather shoes were four diamonds shining in the sun.
