Chapter 576: Bounce Cotton

Pedal Boom......

When Li Shimin walked outside the East Palace with Empress Changsun and Liu Hongji and others, a voice came from the East Palace.

Listening to this sound, it's like the sound of a musical instrument.

Li Shimin frowned, what the hell is going on.

At the same time, everyone also looks at me, I look at you, I don't know why.

"This prince is still singing and dancing in the East Palace! Playthings are demoralized! It's really a plaything! ”

Liu Hongji said bluntly.

The speaker has a heart, and he is even more angry when he listens.

"This is so clever, I just let him be this Shang Shuling, and now it has only been a long time before I know how to enjoy myself. I'm really angry! ”

Empress Changsun said: "Your Majesty, the so-called seeing is believing, and based on this voice, it can be concluded that Gao Ming is enjoying himself, and this conclusion may be too early. ”

"Hmph, I'll have to check it out!"

Li Shimin may not believe Li Chengqian anymore, because Liu Hongji has been talking from the sidelines.

What this emperor is most afraid of is people like Liu Hongji, and all generations of traitors are like this. Their actions directly deceived the Holy Hearing. Some people even lost their lives at the sound of their words.

Empress Eldest Sun wanted to say something.

Li Shimin has already entered the East Palace.

And his actions startled Empress Eldest Sun and Li Lizhen.

"The queen mother, the royal brother is ......"

"Gao Ming, he's not such a person, Lizhi, follow me in."

"Yes, Queen Mother!"

The two of them entered the East Palace one after the other.

This time into it, the regular voice is getting louder and louder.

But I can see that in the East Palace, people come and go.

There are also people who carry something that resembles a harp on their backs, but there is only one string, and there are many of them, who come and go.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is actually carnivaling here! And let so many people do this. ”

As soon as Liu Hongji's words came out, Li Chengqian also saw Li Shimin's arrival.

Then he shouted, "Let's all rest for a while!" ”

After that, the entire East Palace became quiet.

Li Chengqian glanced at the comer and thought, what's the matter, why are they all here.

"Erchen has seen Your Majesty!"

As soon as Li Chengqian came, he saluted Li Shimin.

"Gao Ming, what are you doing here, explain it to me!"

Li Shimin's face was not good.

But Li Chengqian glanced at Liu Hongji and thought that this guy must have done it.

Without waiting for Li Chengqian to speak, Empress Eldest Sun also came here.

"This ...... Gao Ming, what's going on? ”

Seeing that it was snow-white everywhere, Empress Eldest Sun was also puzzled.

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, your son is doing a big thing."

Li Chengqian didn't say what was going on.

But Empress Changsun seemed to remember what Li Chengqian had said that day.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so Yaxing, where do these instruments come from, and why do they sound so crisp and beautiful?"

Liu Hongji said suddenly.

"Kui Guogong, which eye did you see that this was a musical instrument?"

"Isn't this a musical instrument? And those falling cotton, what are you doing? Imitate snowflakes? ”

Li Chengqian glanced at Liu Hongji, and he had already scolded him a thousand times in his heart.

"Kui Guogong, if you don't understand, you have to talk less and watch more, and if you don't reach a conclusion, you will talk nonsense, it seems that you are ignorant! Do you know? It's playing cotton! ”

Li Chengqian didn't care about Liu Hongji's face, and said directly.

Playing cotton is an old craft, originally a slingshot, a grinding disc, a bouncy and a gauze strip. The structure of the hanging bow is very simple, when the flower is played, the whole hand hits the bowstring with the flower hammer, and the cotton fiber is loosened, and each person does not play 8 catties of lint per day. The way of inheritance is also from the master to the apprentice or from father to son, so many of the skills of the flower maker are passed down from one to the other.

Wang Zhen of the Yuan Dynasty "Agricultural Book, Agricultural Tools, Silk Door" contains: "At that time, the cotton was made of kapok slingshot, made of bamboo, about four feet long; The strings are tightened at both ends, and the lint is played with a county bow. "When did the Wenzhou region start to be examined. In the old days, there were many poor peasants and craftsmen in the countryside who were forced by life to play cotton wool for people in other places all year round, commonly known as "playing cotton wool".

Everyone looked at this thing and shouted at the same time, "Play cotton? ”

"I've heard of playing the pipa and the piano, but I haven't heard of playing cotton!"

Li Shimin said.

For this emerging word, everyone wondered, what is it and what!

Having said that, for cotton, they are still in a rudimentary stage, and they actually look at it as an ornamental flower, rather than taking advantage of its characteristics and exerting its full value.

If cotton is promoted, it will be a blessing for the entire Datang.

"Your Highness the Prince, it's hard to understand, but what we hear is something like music."

Li Chengqian glanced at Liu Hongji again.

Directly said: "Kui Guogong, do you not believe in this king? Why, what this king says, you have to question? ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister is also curious, and please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not to blame the minister."

"Humph! If I don't get something out, you won't believe it. ”

Li Chengqian looked around and found that Li Liqian was also on the spot.

No matter what, Li Shimin still doesn't believe it, because the current situation can be said to be not convincing at all.

"Lizhen, come over and make a dress for your brother."

At this time, Li Chengqian greeted Li Liqian.

Li Lizhen was very intimate with this brother, and she didn't think about it, so she trotted over directly.

At this time, Empress Changsun suddenly said:

"Is it a cotton coat?"

"Yes, Queen Mother, that's it! It is a garment made of cotton. Call it padded clothing! ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he asked:

"What is a padded coat? Guanyin, do you know this? ”

Empress Eldest Sun explained:

"Some time ago, Lizhi was wearing fur, which was very irritating to the skin, and Gao Ming said that he wanted to invent something called cotton clothes, and the concubine didn't expect that cotton clothes were related to cotton."

It dawned on her that this was the case.

"Clothes made of cotton, can you wear them? This is the first time I've heard of it. ”

Li Shimin asked, in his opinion, how can this cotton be made into clothes?

How can you wear it? In their minds, the flower is a flower, and the clothes are clothes, two different things.

This is because they don't have enough knowledge and haven't seen it.

Liu Hongji said: "The minister has lived for so many years, and he has never seen cotton that can make clothes!" ”

Li Shimin, Li Chengqian didn't dare to scare, but for Liu Hongji, he could scare him to the point that he was incomplete. So he said:

"Kui Guogong, there are still many things you don't know! Don't know how to talk less and watch more! Good for you! ”

Liu Hongji: ......

"Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to give advice!"

Liu Hongji was an old fox and reacted at once.

"Humph! At that moment, you have to take a good look at how this dress came out! ”
