Chapter 104: Gong
Early the next morning, Cui Shaoqing ordered someone to transport the cotton tool to Sinong Temple.
Here in Sinong Temple, everyone is busy, but no one is interested in this thing that Cui Shaoqing made.
After all, they weren't interested in the things that Zhu Yuan was doing.
However, Zhu Yuan was waiting for Cui Shaoqing in Sinong Temple early, and he also got a large bag of cotton, which took him a long time to remove the seeds.
"Master Cui, what is this, it can really make cotton soft?"
The tools for playing cotton are just some slingshots, grinding discs or something, which look very simple, after Zhu Yuan saw it, he was a little confused, can this thing make cotton soft?
Cui Shaoqing didn't explain much, and said, "Bring some of your cotton and put it on it." ”
Zhu Yuan sighed, and then put some cotton on it.
After putting it on, Cui Shaoqing started his operation, and his operation didn't seem to be complicated, just kept bouncing the cotton around.
Zhu Yuan looked at this, and muttered in his heart, feeling that this was too child's play.
But just as he was thinking like this, the cotton that was originally very solid was bounced open and became soft and fluffy.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuan excitedly grabbed it and felt it in his hand.
The cotton was soft and comfortable, like the feeling of a spring breeze.
"Succeeded? Master Cui, you actually succeeded, and this cotton actually became soft. ”
Zhu Yuan was so excited that he almost jumped up and shouted, Cui Shaoqing shrugged his shoulders and continued to play some more.
Zhu Yuan can't worship beside him.
"Master Cui, do you want to try it?"
Zhu Yuan is still very curious about such a thing, and he thinks that playing cotton is very simple, and he should be able to get started.
Cui Shaoqing smiled, and then gave him a place, Zhu Yuan stood over excitedly, and then learned from Cui Shaoqing's example, but when he really did it, he didn't do it very well, and the bounce action was quite rusty and awkward.
This made him a little embarrassed, and at the same time he felt that Cui Shaoqing was so powerful.
Cui Shaoqing stood next to him and watched for a while, and he couldn't stand it anymore.
"When you play, you have to be like this, be quick, grasp the knock, this ......"
Cui Shaoqing instructed Zhu Yuan, in Cui Shaoqing's opinion, playing cotton is a very simple thing, but why is this Zhu Yuan so stupid?
Fortunately, after Cui Shaoqing's guidance, Zhu Yuan's play is also a little interesting, and he looks decent.
It took the two of them a morning to finally finish the bale of cotton.
"I'll take some of this cotton, and you can make the rest into cotton clothes and offer it to the saint."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuan's expression moved slightly, he was just stupid, but he wasn't stupid, Cui Shaoqing did this, obviously he wanted to give credit to himself, how did this happen?
"This is something you made up Lord Cui, how can the lower officials go and dedicate it to the saint, even if it is dedicated to the saint, it should be dedicated to the saint by Lord Cui."
Cui Shaoqing said: "You came up with this cotton to make cotton clothes, I just made a tool to play cotton, it's nothing, and you think that the official cares about this credit, let you make a sacrifice, you just go to offer." ”
After saying this, Cui Shaoqing took some cotton and left directly.
Zhu Yuan looked at Cui Shaoqing's back, and his heart was inexplicably moved.
After being an official for so long, it was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
--------------------
Cui Shaoqing took the cotton back.
Then it was handed over to Gongsun Sanniang, who touched the cotton and was a little shocked.
"This is cotton? Why is it so soft? It's too comfortable to the touch, isn't it? ”
"Now Datang, this cotton is very scarce, and there are no cotton clothes that can be worn, so my mother will make these cotton into cotton clothes, so that my mother will not be cold this winter."
Gongsun Sanniang smiled and put away the cotton.
Cui Shaoqing's side didn't care much about this, anyway, the cotton was brought back, what his mother wanted to do, it was his mother's business, as far as she knew, his mother was still very good at making clothes.
In Yizhou, his mother relied on raising silkworms, growing mulberry, and weaving to subsidize the family.
Gongsun Sanniang collected cotton here, and then began to make cotton clothes.
Zhu Yuan here, he also began to make cotton clothes.
Although Zhu Yuan is a man and an official, his skill in making clothes is rarely matched in the entire Chang'an City.
He is a person who is easily obsessed with many things, and once he is obsessed, he will study it deeply, which is a very interesting thing for him to make clothes.
It took him a day to make a cotton coat, and that afternoon, he went directly to the palace.
Before dusk, there were suddenly snowflakes in Chang'an City, and the cold wind was blowing, which was surprisingly cold.
Li Shimin's imperial study was burning with charcoal, and Li Shimin was wearing very thick clothes, but he still felt a little cold when he sat in the imperial study to review and read.
And at this time, a palace man ran in and said, "Holy Lord, the Forestry Department of Sinong Temple ordered Zhu Yuan to ask for a meeting, saying that there is a piece of clothing dedicated to the Holy Lord." ”
"Orders from the Forestry Department? This seems to be an official from the seventh grade, how did he think of offering something to me? ”
A seven-rank petty official, it is very difficult to see the Son of Heaven, Li Shimin has not seen such a petty official for a long time, of course, except for the previous Cui Shaoqing.
"I don't know, he just said that the clothes are very good, and he must ask the Holy Lord to see him."
Li Shimin sighed, he wasn't going to pay attention to it, after all, it was just a piece of clothing, and he was very busy.
However, just after he let out an oh, he suddenly remembered that Cui Shaoqing was now Shaoqing of Sinong Temple, and he suddenly felt that it was better to see him.
"Let him in."
The palace people were ordered to retreat, and after a short time, they brought Zhu Yuan in.
Li Shimin glanced at Zhu Yuan, and his first feeling was that this person was so black, maybe only a little better than those Kunlun slaves, if it weren't for his appearance with the characteristics of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin would have felt that he was a Kunlun slave.
"Meet the Holy One."
Li Shimin nodded and said, "I heard that you have clothes for me, what kind of clothes?" ”
"It's a cotton coat made by the minister, please try it on the saint."
Zhu Yuan offered the cotton clothes, Li Shimin touched the cotton clothes, and felt very soft, and it should be comfortable to wear, but he didn't think it would be very warm, because in his opinion, the so-called cotton clothes may just be cotton clothes.
However, he couldn't help but give it a try.
After he put it on, he moved his arm a little, which felt quite convenient, and then he felt that something was wrong.
"This cotton clothes are wrong......"
