"Is this okay?"
Qin Huaiyu and the other two looked at their T-shirts shyly and covered their arms with their hands, as if they were little wives who didn't have enough clothes to cover their bodies.
The three of them went into the river to catch fish, climbed trees to fish for bird eggs, and even drank and gambled. They had been complained to by the Headmaster many times. Except for robbing a good woman, they had tried almost all the rebellious things they did when they were young. However, it was the first time for them to wear strange clothes, so they couldn't help but feel a little shy and shy.
"Compared with your previous clothes, are they comfortable?" Meton asked angrily.
The three of them nodded immediately. Not to mention other things, just the lightness of the T-shirts was already better than their previous clothes.
"Have you ever worn anything that doesn't cover your body?" Meton asked again.
The three of them shook their heads together. They usually practiced martial arts bare-chested, so it was not a big deal for them to only show their arms in the T-shirts.
"That's up to you. What's more, I also wear this, don't I?" Meton pointed at his T-shirt and said impatiently.
"But this is too small!" Cheng Chumo grabbed the front of his T-shirt and pulled it down hard. The shirt was almost out of shape after a few words.
The other two also nodded. They were used to wearing long shirts that reached their knees, so it was very awkward to suddenly wear a T-shirt that reached their waists.
"What's wrong with it being small? It's to save cloth for the Tang dynasty, "Meton said angrily.
"Uh!"
The three of them were stunned. "What you said is so reasonable that I have nothing to say."
"Do you think that the people of the Tang dynasty are all rich people like you? There are many people in the Tang dynasty who don't have enough clothes to cover their bodies. Such T-shirts and shorts can save about half of the cloth, that is to say, we can save half of the cloth money. As long as we walk around the street, I can guarantee that there will be imitation T-shirts in less than three days. At that time, you will be the people who lead the trend of the Tang dynasty. You will be in the limelight, "Meton said persuasively.
The three of them thought quickly. They had personally experienced this new style of clothing. It was indeed very comfortable, and as Meton said, it was cheap and good. Taking summer as an example, it was indeed the best clothes to avoid the heat. Thinking about it, when they looked at their own clothes again, they didn't feel so awkward.
"If you put it that way, it's not bad!" Qin Huaiyu felt his entire body lighten up, and he believed Moton's words a little more.
"Okay! Let's go, "Meton got up.
"Where to go?" The three of them asked in surprise.
............................ Although there was no record of this year's heat in history, based on Li Shimin's stay in the Ninety Percent Palace for five months, it was easy to imagine how difficult it would be this year.
Although Meton didn't have the ability to make air-conditioning fans, he did have the ability to make ice, which was the best way to relieve the heat in summer. Making ice with saltpeter was a method that Meton was most familiar with in the future.
"Jia!"
Four horses drove the four-wheeled carriage quickly on the wide street. Gusts of cool wind blew in through the window, taking away a trace of heat.
"Meton, your four-wheeled carriage is indeed a good place to avoid the heat!" Yuchi Baolin said happily as he stretched his head out of the window and felt the gusts of wind blowing in his face.
"Don't block the wind!" Cheng Chumo pulled him back. When he stretched his head out, the wind couldn't enter the carriage, and the carriage immediately became stuffy.
"It's cool, but who wants to keep the carriage running?" Qin Huaiyu said, rolling his eyes. The weather is so hot, you think the horses aren't hot? Even if they were noble young masters, if they did something so extravagant, they would definitely be reported by the Imperial Censor. In the Tang dynasty, horses and cows were strategic items that couldn't be wasted casually.
The weather was hot, but Chang 'an was still bustling as usual. The people on the streets were flowing in and out, and the shops on both sides of the road were still open. After all, the more difficult it was to live in a big city like Chang' an, the more people had to work hard to make a living.
With a squeak, the carriage stopped.
"Xuandu Temple! Brother Mo, what are we doing here? "
Qin Huaiyu stretched his head out and saw the magnificent and magnificent Taoist temple in front of him. He couldn't help but frown.
Xuandu Temple was the largest Taoist temple in the Tang dynasty. It was deeply favored by the Emperor, and its believers were all over Chang 'an. Even many believers in the entire Tang dynasty came to pray.
"Looking for ice!" Meton said mysteriously. He jumped down from the carriage and saw the huge palace in front of him. He couldn't help but twitch his mouth. How much money would it cost?
"Looking for ice? Meton, don't mess around. These Taoist priests are not to be trifled with! " Cheng Chumo also frowned. According to the scale of Xuandu Temple, there should be hidden ice, but this year's weather was abnormal, so there probably wouldn't be much.
In fact, it was not only not to be trifled with, but also not to be trifled with. The Tang dynasty was founded on Taoism. The Retired Emperor Li Yuan thought that he was the descendant of Laozi Li Er and supported Taoism as the first of the three religions.
Moreover, the Taoist priests of Xuandu Temple had always been respected. Yuan Shoucheng and Li Shimin could sit together and talk. Yuan Tiangang said that this year was very hot, and Li Shimin immediately believed it and decided to go to Ninety Percent Palace to avoid the summer heat. Even some royal princesses called themselves Taoist nuns and even had their own Taoist temples. The whole royal family was inextricably linked with Taoism.
In the Great Tang, amongst the Hundred Schools of Thought, the Daoist School was the head of the Hundred Schools posthumously conferred by the Great Tang's imperial household. The Daoist School's influence was pervasive throughout the Great Tang, from the imperial household to the common folk. This was why Moton dared to openly develop the School of Mohism in the Tang Dynasty. If this had been the Ming Dynasty, when the Confucians were at their peak, Moton would probably have had to keep his tail between his legs.
"Don't worry, we won't enter Xuandu Temple at all! We can just buy some materials in the back street. " To be honest, Meton also felt a little guilty. He used to be a firm atheist, but he really couldn't explain this matter in the Tang dynasty. Although there was a great possibility that it was the blessing of School of Mo's ancestors, there was no guarantee that the ancestors of Taoism would see something strange.
"That's good?" Qin Huaiyu and the other three people were relieved.
They were all young and vigorous guys, and of course, they were not interested in praying to gods and immortals and pursuing longevity, so they didn't have much yearning for Xuandu Temple.
In the Tang dynasty, alchemy was popular. Xuandu Temple was the largest Taoist temple in Chang 'an. A large number of alchemists in Chang' an gathered here, which led to a kind of abnormal prosperity. A large number of shops were opened in the back street of Xuandu Temple, which specialized in providing incense and materials for alchemists.
