The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 757 Li Er's Cotton Shirt and Trousers

The time has come to evening.

Li Shimin didn't leave Concubine Yang's residence. There was an air conditioner here, and he was used to staying here.

As long as he has time, he will live here.

Empress Changsun naturally followed.

There are also some concubines who come to say hello from time to time, and some of them still stay here, hoping that Li Er can have a good luck or two, and enjoy the rain and dew.

At this time, Li Shimin looked outside, and it was almost dark.

He asked: "It's been several hours, and it's getting dark, why hasn't Concubine Yang come back?"

He said he would not let Concubine Yang go, but in fact, he also wanted to know whether the flower could make cloth.

Empress Changsun replied: "The mother and son have not seen each other for a long time, so it is normal to stay for a while longer! Your Majesty is still too impatient."

"That's right, they haven't seen each other for a long time, so I'm really impatient!"

Li Shimin didn't care when Concubine Yang came back, what he wanted to know was whether Concubine Yang got what he wanted to know in the end.

"It's time for dinner soon, why don't we go eat something first? Wait a minute? I just asked someone to make some ice cream cakes. Otherwise, His Majesty can try it first to cool off the heat?"

At this time, the two were still in Concubine Yang's bedroom.

The lights in the palace also came on.

The cooks also started cooking.

They also learned how to make cakes and imitated Li Yin to make them with ice cream, which tastes very good.

"I'm not hungry yet, just wait."

Just as he finished speaking, Concubine Yang came in from the outside.

When she came, there were several young eunuchs behind her.

They held a plate in their hands, and the plate seemed to be covered with some cloth or something.

"Aifei, are you back!?"

Without waiting for Concubine Yang to salute, Li Shimin took the initiative to speak.

"I have met His Majesty personally!"

Concubine Yang saluted quickly.

"You don't need to be too polite, what did you ask when you went to Shengtang Group this time?"

He is so anxious, not at all like him before.

I was still doubting that cotton can't be turned into clothes before, but now I want to know if it's true.

People, that's how it is.

If you don't understand something, you will be beaten to death with a stick.

But when someone went to verify, they came up to ask seven questions.

"Your Majesty, can I let this concubine drink her saliva before talking?"

It's still very hot outside now, and this coming and going is very challenging.

At this time, it is most likely to lose water, so Concubine Yang said so.

"Yes yes yes, I'm too impatient, you drink some water first! Someone, bring water!"

After Concubine Yang drank the water, she slowly started talking.

"Your Majesty, I have gained a lot from this trip. I brought some things from Min'er. Please have a look!"

After finishing, let the eunuch present the things.

There are about five or six kinds of clothes.

Empress Ling Changsun and Li Shimin stared at the eunuch's tray for a long time.

"This is?"

Li Shimin asked.

"These are clothes made of cotton!"

"Ok?"

"This kind of material is very unusual! It's better than hemp, although it's not as good as silk, but it won't stick to the skin because of sweat when you touch it in summer."

"My sister has good eyesight. This is pure cotton fabric."

Pure cotton fabric is made of cotton as raw material and produced by weaving process, which has the characteristics of moisture absorption, warmth retention, heat resistance, alkali resistance, hygiene and so on.Generally speaking, pure cotton fabrics have better moisture absorption and heat resistance, and are comfortable to wear.

"Pure cotton fabric? Is there such a fabric in this world?"

Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty is like this, this fabric is especially suitable for wearing in all seasons!"

"Oh?"

"In summer, it can be made into short-sleeved shorts! In winter, it can be stuffed into cotton-padded jackets to keep warm, especially stuffed into quilts, which is simply not too suitable!"

Cotton has many uses.

It is used as a material for knitting, such as: cotton clothes, quilts, cotton cloth, cotton wool underwear, denim...etc.

The terry cloth can be used as a highly absorbent towel and bathrobe, and cotton fabrics such as corduroy and seersucker are also used.

Many socks, underwear and T-shirts and sheets are made of cotton.

A cotton can be used for more than that.

There is also cottonseed oil used for salad oil and edible oil, hydrogenated to make ghee and margarine, and the cake dregs or seeds after oil extraction are used as poultry and livestock.

These and other things can prove that cotton has a very wide range of uses. If it is popularized, it will be a great thing for Datang, a big practical thing.

"Is it really so magical?"

Li Shimin was puzzled.

A little cotton has such a use.

Empress Changsun especially wanted to know how the clothes made of cotton looked like.

So he asked: "Can the fabric that my sister brought be made into clothes?"

"Yes, these are clothes, please take a look!"

After finishing, she took out one by one.

He took out one first.

"This is a middle coat? It doesn't look like it! It's so white, it makes people feel surprised!"

Li Shimin muttered.

"It's a shirt!"

Yang Fei said.

There was a shirt in the Zhou Dynasty of China, but it was not called this name, but it was called Zhongyi, and later called Zhongdan.In the Han Dynasty, the close-fitting shirt was called the toilet, and the Song Dynasty only used the name of the shirt.

"Shirt? This dress is a bit strange!"

"No, no, it's not surprising. After wearing it, it looks very good. If you wear it with navy blue trousers, if you wear it, you will be a trendy man!"

When Concubine Yang said this, what Li Shimin and Empress Changsun could not understand was what she said.

What is a hipster?

Is it wet man?
This is their first reaction.

Don't wait for them to react.

Concubine Yang had already taken out a pair of trousers, handed them to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, let me serve you and try them on, it will definitely make you feel very different! This is the size I specially ordered! "

size?

Trousers?

What are these things.

The two were completely dumbfounded.

Concubine Yang has only gone out for an afternoon, and she already understands everything?
Under Concubine Yang's strong request, Li Shimin put on a white shirt and trousers obediently.

There is an extra belt.

These things did not exist in ancient times.

I didn't expect a generation of emperors to catch up with the trend.

These clothes have less fabric than the Tang clothes he wears, and they are very convenient to move around.

It just doesn't look very formal, because there is no embroidery, no golden piece, and no royal majesty.

But in the eyes of Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang.

Li Shimin is very handsome today.

"It's so good-looking, it's so good-looking, is this a trendy man?"

Concubine Yang was full of praise.

Empress Changsun even said from behind: "Yes, it is indeed very different."

Li Shimin was puzzled.

After all, with the clothes on his body, he couldn't fully perceive the effect of the upper body.

The effect of his top can only be told through other people's mouths.

So, he was blindsided.

"This……"

"Your Majesty, wait a minute, I will ask someone to bring something here."
