Li Chengqian realized that in this kind of hot weather, he didn't exercise at all. Even if he sat under the shade of a tree, there were faint traces of sweat on his body. But the four of them came in from outside, facing the scorching sun, but their expressions didn't seem to change.
At this time, Li Chengqian realized that maybe the four of them weren't playing tricks. Maybe it was just like what the three of them said, they just wanted to cool off.
"Cool off! Go stand under the sun if you want to cool off. " Li Shimin didn't know when he had finished chatting. He looked at Meton and the other three with disappointment.
Meton suddenly withered. Looking at the scorching sun outside, he stepped forward. Qin Huaiyu and the other two didn't need to be told. They already stood under the sun obediently.
The scorching sun shined on their bodies. Meton and the other three felt like they were in a fire pit. Waves of heat hit them, and in a short time, their bodies were dripping with sweat.
The three main culprits, the Li brothers, were sitting upright. They didn't look sideways, but the corners of their mouths were twitching. It was obvious that they were trying hard to hold back their laughter.
"These stinking brats are too naughty. They have made a fool of themselves!" Li Shimin looked back at Yuan Shoucheng and said helplessly.
Meton really didn't let people have peace of mind. How long had it been, and now he was ready to make trouble. As an emperor, he cared more about etiquette. In his eyes, Meton and the other three's strange clothes were almost rebellious.
Yuan Shoucheng looked at the four with interest. He stroked his white beard and said, "Your Majesty also has a protective heart. But according to this poor Daoist, the clothes worn by Mo Juzi are not disrespectful. They are quite refined, and the materials used are quite little. It is very suitable for Mo Family's tradition."
Meton looked up in surprise. He didn't think that Yuan Shoucheng would speak up for him. Frugality was one of Mo Family's core principles. It was appropriate to explain this matter.
Meton hurriedly took advantage of the situation and said, "Taoist Priest, your eyes are really sharp. The material used for my clothes is only about half of a normal one. However, Taoist Priest is too kind. I'm just a normal Brother Mo Jiazi. I really don't deserve to be called a big shot."
Li Shimin had also discovered the merit of Meton's compassion. Furthermore, he had only exposed his two arms. It didn't seem like a big deal. Of course, how could the Emperor make a mistake? He immediately snorted coldly and said, "With this kind of conduct, how can he be a magnate? If he were to be a magnate of the School of Mo, wouldn't he be a laughing stock?"
"Your Majesty is right! I will definitely keep that in mind! "Meton quickly corrected his attitude and actively admitted his mistake.
The corner of Li Shimin's mouth twitched. He didn't believe Meton's promise at all. If Meton didn't cause trouble, he wouldn't be worthy of the nickname 'Little Catfish'.
Qin Huaiyu and the other two couldn't help but sneer in their hearts. They looked down on Meton fiercely in their hearts. It was this guy who had instigated them to wear clothes. In the end, they were hit by a spear the moment they stepped out of the door. They didn't get to enjoy the cool weather for long and were even exposed to the sun.
Fortunately, Li Shimin couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart. Although Meton usually liked to cause trouble, the things he caused were always good things. He waved his hand and asked Meton and the other three to come closer.
Meton and the other three immediately felt as if they had been pardoned. They hurriedly walked into the shade of the tree. Even so, their bodies were already soaked in sweat.
"So? This shirt can really save half of the material used. " Li Shimin looked at Meton's T-shirt and then looked at his own loose clothes. He couldn't help but believe it a little. Besides, if ordinary material could really be saved, it would be a blessing for the people. There was nothing wrong with Meton's clothes in essence. It just didn't conform to the clothing style of the current Tang dynasty.
"In reply to Your Majesty! It can save more than half of the material used, "Meton looked at Li Shimin's brocade gown that reached his feet and nodded without hesitation.
"Oh, so Mo Jiazi, who earns 100,000 strings of cash a month, dressed like this just to save some money for the remaining material?" Li Shimin sneered.
Meton was suddenly stunned. He had overlooked the impact of 100,000 strings of cash. Not only Zhangsun Chong couldn't sit still, but even Li Shimin remembered it in his heart.
Although the 100,000 strings of cash came from a legitimate source, money moved people's hearts. If he didn't handle it well today, he was afraid that he would leave an extremely bad impression in Li Shimin's heart.
Morton quickly put on a straight face, and used his skills as a salesman from his previous life. "Your Majesty, it's not about the cost of these clothes. The most important function of these clothes is that they're much cooler than normal clothes. For example, in today's weather, I'm sure Your Majesty must be feeling hot and dry, but wearing these clothes will still make you feel extremely cool."
Ignoring the clothes that were immoral, the T-shirt could be said to be the coolest clothes in summer. This was what Meton said with confidence.
"En!" Li Shimin replied with an expressionless face.
Meton quickly added, "En! Of course, this shirt is also very convenient to wear. You only need to put it over your head. Moreover, you can move freely while wearing it. It's extremely light. "
Traditional clothing was all loose robes, and there were no models at all. Sometimes, the workmanship and the like had to be lifted up and pinned behind the waist. It was simply very troublesome. Meton had long been impatient. Now, he took the opportunity to make modern clothing.
Save on cloth, cool, convenient! Even without Meton's reminder, with Li Shimin's wisdom, he could guess that this kind of shirt would definitely become a trend in Chang 'an this summer. Moreover, this kind of shirt was very close-fitting. When worn by young men like Meton, they looked even more energetic, especially Yuchi Baolin, who was simply a clothes rack. The close-fitting shirt had a different kind of charm on his body.
"This is simply nonsense. The clothes passed down by the ancestors are not something that you can change just because you want to." Li Shimin scolded, stroking his general's belly and looking at their good figures with jealousy.
"Dao begets one, one begets two, three begets all things. Young people are always full of energy and want to change and be new. It's understandable." Yuan Shoucheng could see that Li Shimin's anger had long disappeared after hearing Meton's explanation of the benefits of the shirt.
"Why aren't you thanking Taoist Master Yuan? If it weren't for his pleading, you would have been dried into a catfish under the sun today!" Li Shimin took advantage of the situation and said.
"Thank you very much, Taoist Master Yuan!" Meton immediately said gratefully.
Yuan Shoucheng waved his hand casually and said, "The School of Mo and the School of Taoism are both part of the Pre-Qin Hundred Schools of Thought. Today, after a thousand years, the most outstanding descendants of the School of Mo have come to my Taoist temple. This is really a joyous occasion!"
"Taoist Master Yuan, you flatter me! I really don't deserve such praise! "Meton said modestly.
Yuan Shoucheng laughed a few times and said, "The great Mo Jiazi speaks of modesty, but your actions are not modest at all! I'm very curious. What kind of secret does the famous Mo Jiazi have that could not be found by others? "
