Chapter Eighty-Eight: Toothbrushes and Towels

Of course, Li Yuanjia didn't know that because of his carriage, the emperor was actually a little interested in cotton.

But one thing is certain, that is, after the four-wheeled carriage was taken away by Li Shimin lying down, Li Yuanjia walked on the road behind him in pain-the two-wheeled carriage was small and bumpy, and the horseback was riding and grinding the thighs, which was simply a hellish journey.

Especially at night, the tender skin on the inner thighs hurts and I can't sleep.

So at noon the next day, when the group arrived at the final destination, Li Yuanjia hurriedly got off the docile white horse and lay on the bed that had been prepared long ago and was reluctant to get up.

Although I haven't stopped exercising, no matter how good my physical strength is, this horseback riding is a little unbearable.

Fortunately, even if the emperor likes hunting no matter how much he likes, he usually just plays by himself, but a big battle like winter hunting even has to be written into the five rituals, so it is not so easy to start. It will have to wait until the day after tomorrow at the earliest, but it will leave enough time for Li Yuanjia's tender meat to recover.

Merely......

"Fang Jun, do you know what time it is?"

Early the next morning after arriving at the camp, Li Yuanjia, who was woken up by Fang Jun from his sleep, got up with a breath of anger and looked at his brother-in-law with an unkind look!

Since it is a winter hunt, it is naturally impossible to live in a house, it is all a camp tent for the march, and the soundproofing facilities are extremely poor. So although there were guards outside, Fang Jun's voice finally came in, waking up Li Yuanjia, who hadn't slept well all night because of the abrasion of the skin on his inner thigh.

To be honest, he really wants to beat up this brother-in-law now.

"Hehe, brother-in-law, it's dawn!"

Rubbing his hands, Fang Jun smiled and pointed to the sky outside.

“……”

Rolling his eyes, Li Yuanjia didn't bother to bother with him, and stretched out to himself. Although the sleepiness has not dissipated, he also knows that there are a lot of things going on today, and since he has woken up, it may be difficult to sleep again.

waved at Han Lucheng beside him, and naturally someone immediately offered toiletries.

And while Li Yuanjia was brushing his teeth and washing his face, Fang Jun kept staring at him - in his eyes, the way his brother-in-law used the slender brush in his hand to reach into his mouth and brush it around was too curious.

You don't have to ask to know that this is cleaning your teeth.

It doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman, most of your mouths are stinky when you wake up in the morning, even if it's the best beauty in the world. So cleaning his teeth after getting up is not unusual for Fang Jun, and it can be said that he has developed a habit since he was a child. However, most of the time he smeared green salt with his fingers and rubbed it gently on his teeth, and today was the first time he saw Li Yuanjia's homemade toothbrush.

So after he finished brushing his teeth, Fang Jun hurriedly asked curiously: "Brother-in-law, this is the toothbrush my sister said, right?" ”

"Well, didn't she give you one?"

casually handed the toothbrush to Han Lucheng beside him, and Li Yuanjia asked casually.

In the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago, there were certainly not many people brushing their teeth. After all, in the twentieth century, many Chinese people didn't brush their teeth much, let alone in this era.

However, for dignitaries, especially those young ladies, brushing teeth is a compulsory course since childhood.

The pursuit of a beautiful tooth knows no age, and no one is exempt.

And......

In the "Book of Rites", it is said, "The children are the parents, the rooster is crowing, and the salt is soaking", which means that when the morning dawns, you must serve your parents to wash your face and rinse your mouth; In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a saying in the "Jindan Quanshu" that "the poison of diet accumulates between the teeth, and when it is washed at night, the dirt is gone, and the teeth are not bad" and "so morning gargling is not as good as night gargling, this is good at raising teeth".

Our ancestors from 2,000 years ago knew that daily cleaning was the key to protecting your teeth, and that it was even more important at night than in the morning.

As a former physician, Li Yuanjia naturally will not ignore this.

So in addition to the toothpaste, he really can't make it, and he doesn't want to try it randomly, so he can only use salt instead, and the toothbrush can be made hundreds of before and after.

The structure of this thing is very simple, but it is just a little more troublesome to punch and thread.

Fang Fengzhu had already used it the morning after she got married, and Li Yuanjia thought that she had already sent a set to her parents and younger brothers, but she didn't expect that Fang Jun, this kid, had never seen it?

After listening to his words, Fang Jun thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "The eldest sister seems to have sent me a lot of things, but I didn't pay attention to ......"

"Well, you can go back and have a look, there should be."

While perfunctory to his brother-in-law, Li Yuanjia began to wash his face - if it was other princes, this kind of thing was usually helped by the maids, but after so many years, he was still not used to it, and he still insisted on washing his face.

Rinse your face with water, then rub the beans on your hands and start rubbing them on your face.

There is no facial cleanser these days, but there are countless recipes for bath beans, and of course the best for royal self-use. And fortunately, most of the things that the Tang people need to solve are dust, and there are not as many floating objects in the air as in the future, making cleaning a lot easier. In addition, Li Yuanjia's skin is not so oily, and it is quite simple to take care of.

After quickly washing it with water, Li Yuanjia took the towel in Han Lucheng's hand.

And it was this towel used to wipe his face and hands that aroused Fang Jun's curiosity: "Brother-in-law, you thing to wipe your face...... Not silk, right? ”

In Li Yuanjia's eyes, the things used by this brother-in-law are so weird, anyway, they are different from others.

"Hehe, it's cotton."

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Li Yuanjia chuckled and said, "This weather is too cold with silk and uncomfortable." This is what I had made from cotton, and it's called cotton...... Han Lucheng turned around and took two towels for Fang Jun to take away. ”

"Yes, my lord."

While taking the towel in Li Yuanjia's hand, Han Lucheng respectfully responded yes.

I had just finished washing my face here, and before Fang Jun, who was a little anxious, could say anything, Han Lucheng waved his hand, and several people walked in with a fragrant breakfast.

The thing was always hot for the king to eat at all times.

And after smelling this fragrance, even if he had already eaten the rebellion, Fang Jun couldn't help but stretch his neck.

Millet porridge, meat buns, and two plates of small pickles.

"Come, let's eat together."

Of course, there was no reason to let the guests watch from the side, Li Yuanjia quickly beckoned and let Fang Jun sit beside him. Although he came out to hunt, Li Yuanjia still brought a folding table and several folding chairs, and it was quite comfortable to sit up.

Li Yuanjia didn't have so many rules for eating, and after drinking two sips of porridge, he asked lightly: "Fang Jun, come to me so early today, but is there anything wrong?"

"Ah, yes!"

After listening to his words, Fang Jun remembered the purpose of his coming here so early, and quickly swallowed the meat bun in his mouth and nodded: "Brother-in-law, I have a few brothers who admire you very much, so I want to meet you together today......
