The two trusted aides felt tense seeing the unfamiliar visitor, their hands quietly reaching for their sword handles.
Zhao Hanzhang looked up at him, her gaze sweeping over his face and clothes, then shoes, and slightly smiling she said, "Governor Wang, please sit."
Wang Dun, surprised that she recognized him, lifted his robe slightly and sat down, feeling out the area he commented, "The stools and tables here are modeled after those from Yu State, aren't they?"
As he looked around, he noticed many stalls had tables and benches set up outside, and he felt a bit envious, "Qingzhou is closed off and doesn't have such stools and tables; often you have to stand to eat at stalls selling food by the roadside, only wider places can fit low tables and seats. Though the barbarians may not understand etiquette, these Hu stools and tables are quite convenient."
