Compared to those deep-thinking nobles, the male and female companions who came with them had eyes sparkling as they looked at 'Tricky Coin' Al Thompson and his wife's clothing.
If it were other minor nobles wearing such new-style clothing, they'd definitely sneer at them. Even if they thought it looked good inside, they'd only curse the other party for not revering ancestors, not respecting tradition, having no etiquette...
But the ones wearing it were 'Tricky Coin' Al Thompson and his wife, so the situation was completely different!
As a leading figure among new nobles, such clothing represented the divide between new nobles and old nobles. It was a manifestation of their new noble group being independent from old nobles, a display of them being more advanced and more civilized.
This appreciation naturally needed no concealment.
Some nobles thought this way. After greetings, 'Tricky Coin' Al indeed said exactly that—this was a manifestation of new nobles' advancement!
