Chapter 777 Trendy boy Li Ers cotton shirt and trousers
It's evening.
Li Shimin did not leave Yang Fei's residence. There was air conditioning here and he was used to staying here.
Whenever he has time, he will live here.
Queen Changsun naturally followed.
There are also some concubines who come over from time to time to say hello, and some of them even stay here, hoping that Li Er will be lucky enough to receive the rain and dew.
At this time, Li Shimin looked outside and saw that it was almost dark.
He asked: "It's been several hours, and it's getting dark. Why hasn't Concubine Yang come back?"
Although he said that he would not let Concubine Yang go, in fact, he also wanted to know if the flowers could make cloth.
Empress Changsun responded: "Mother and son have not seen each other for a long time. It is normal to stay for a while! Your Majesty is still too impatient."
"That's right, they haven't seen each other for a long time, so I'm really too impatient!"
Li Shimin didn't care when Concubine Yang came back, what he wanted to know was whether Concubine Yang finally got everything he wanted to know.
"It's going to be dinner time soon. Why don't we go get something to eat first? Wait a minute. I just asked someone to make some ice cream cakes. Why don't your Majesty try it first to cool down?"
At this time, the two of them were still in Concubine Yang's palace.
The lights in the palace also turned on.
The cooks also started cooking.
They also learned how to make cakes and how to make them with ice cream, which tasted very good.
"I'm not hungry yet, let's wait a little longer."
Just as he finished speaking, Concubine Yang came in from outside.
When she arrived, there were several young eunuchs following behind her.
They were holding plates in their hands, and there seemed to be some cloth or something on the plate.
"My beloved concubine, are you back!?"
Without waiting for Concubine Yang to salute, Li Shimin took the initiative.
"I have met Your Majesty!"
Concubine Yang quickly saluted.
"No need to be polite, what did you ask when you went to Shengtang Group this time?"
He is so anxious, nothing like him before.
I was still questioning whether cotton could be turned into clothes, but now I want to know if it is true.
People, that's how it is.
If you don't understand something, you'll be beaten to death with a stick.
But when someone went to verify it, they came up and asked questions.
"Your Majesty, can you allow me to take a drink of water before we talk?"
It's still very hot outside now, and this coming and going is very testing.
At this time, it is easiest to lose water, so Concubine Yang said this.
"Yes, yes, I am too impatient. Drink some water first! Someone, bring me some 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 take a look!"
After finishing, ask the eunuch to bring the things up.
There are about five or six types of clothes.
Empress 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!"
"Um?"
"This material is very unusual! It's better than linen, and although it's not as good as silk, it won't stick to your skin due to sweat when you touch it in the summer."
"Sister, you have good eyesight. This is pure cotton fabric."
Pure cotton fabrics are made of cotton as raw material and produced through textile technology. They have the characteristics of moisture absorption, warmth retention, heat resistance, alkali resistance, hygiene, etc. 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 the world?"
Li Shimin asked.
"Your Majesty, this is the case. This kind of fabric is particularly suitable for all seasons!"
"oh?"
"In the summer, it can be made into short-sleeved shorts! In the winter, it can be filled into cotton-padded clothes to keep warm. It can especially be filled into quilts. It's really not too suitable!"
Cotton has many uses.
It is used as a material for woven products, such as: cotton clothes, quilts, cotton cloth, cotton wool underwear, denim...etc.
Terry cloth can be used as highly absorbent towels and bathrobes, while corduroy, seersucker, etc. are also made of cotton.
Many socks, underwear, T-shirts and sheets are made of cotton.
The uses of a piece of cotton don't stop there.
Cottonseed oil is also used for salad oil and cooking oil. After hydrogenation, it is made into ghee and margarine. After oil extraction, the cake residue or seed kernels are used for poultry and livestock.
Things like this can prove that cotton has a wide range of uses. If it is popularized, it will be a great thing and a great thing for Datang.
"Is it really that magical?"
Li Shimin was puzzled.
A small piece of cotton has such uses.
Empress Changsun especially wanted to know what the clothes made of cotton looked like.
So he asked, "Can the fabrics my sister brought here be made into clothes?"
"Yes, these are the clothes, please take a look!"
After she finished, she took them out one by one.
He took out one piece first.
"Is this a middle coat? It doesn't look like it! It's so white, it's surprising!"
Li Shimin murmured.
"Here's the shirt!"
Concubine Yang said.
There were shirts in the Zhou Dynasty in China, but they were not called by this name. Instead, they were called Zhongyi, and later Zhongdan. In the Han Dynasty, shirts that were close to the body were called toilet clothes, and the name of shirts was only used in the Song Dynasty.
"Shirt? This dress is a little weird!"
"No, no, no, it's not strange. After wearing it, it looks very good. If you pair it with navy blue trousers, if you say it, you will look like a trendy man!"
Concubine Yang said this, and all the words Li Shimin and Empress Changsun could not understand.
What is a trendy man?
Is it a wet man?
This is their first reaction.
Don't wait for them to react.
Concubine Yang had already taken out a pair of trousers and handed them to Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, let me wait for you to put them on and try them on. You will definitely feel very different! This is the size I specially asked for!"
"
size?
Trousers?
What are these things?
The two of them were completely confused.
Concubine Yang has only been out for one afternoon, and she already understands everything?
Under Concubine Yang's strong request, Li Shimin was very obedient and put on a white shirt and trousers.
There is also an extra belt.
These things did not exist in ancient times.
I didn’t expect that a generation of emperors would jump on the trend.
These clothes have less fabric than the Tang Yi he wears, and they are very convenient for movement.
It just doesn't look very formal, because there is no embroidery, no gold, and no royal majesty.
But in the eyes of Queen Changsun and Concubine Yang.
Li Shimin is very handsome today.
"It's so good-looking, so good-looking. Is this a trendy guy?"
Concubine Yang was full of praise.
Empress Changsun said from behind: "Yes, it is indeed very different."
Li Shimin was confused.
After all, when the clothes are worn on his body, he himself cannot fully perceive the effect of the clothes on his body.
The effect of his top can only be told through other people's mouths.
Therefore, he was blinded.
"this……"
"Your Majesty, wait a minute, I will ask someone to bring something over."
