Leading the New Fashion Tide of Tang Empire
In June of the first year of Zhenguan, what was the most popular thing in Tang?
It had to be cigarettes.
You haven't even smoked before, how can you be a noble?
These were the words of the foolish old Yuchi who liked to attract hatred. Although he was very brainless, those who were teased by him were speechless.
Didn't you see Li Er say that a cigarette after a meal was as happy as a god? How could the wise Emperor be wrong?
If you disagree, it's definitely your fault.
Ever since the lecture at the directorate that day, Qin Mo's days had returned to a leisurely state.
Naturally, he didn't have to personally go on the matter of promoting the use of punctuations. Only when Kong Yingda and the others had something they didn't understand would they call him to the directorate to assist.
However, there was a small interlude in the middle. Kong Yingda, Lu Deming, and Yan Shigu fell in love with smoking.
Qin Mo often smoked with a cigarette in his mouth. Coupled with the trend caused by Li Er, Old Fool Yuchi, and the others, the three of them asked Qin Mo for cigarettes. Who knew that they would like the feeling of smoking after trying it out.
These three old men were the representatives of the literati, so the people in the directorate were envious and unanimously believed that smoking was the most fashionable thing.
The directorates were the most cultured people in the Great Tang.
Since the most cultured person had said so, who would dare to object?
Hence, Qin Mo was trapped in Qin Manor.
Li Jing, Li Ji, Li Xiaogong, Chai Shao, and the old hooligan Hou Junji all arrived at the Qin Residence and blocked Qin Mo's path.
Except for Hou Junji, all of them had one thing in common: they had been mocked by the foolish Yuchi. They hadn't even smoked, so how could they be considered influential?
Because Li Jing and Li Ji did not take sides in the Black Tortoise Sect incident, they were also banished by Li Er, and their positions were somewhat awkward.
It was also for this reason that the two of them had always kept a low profile.
But Foolish Yuchi was very unhappy because Li Jing and Li Ji had greater influence in the army than Foolish Yuchi. They unanimously believed that the two of them were the true leaders of the Tang army.
Thus, Foolish Yuchi was very unconvinced. He held a cigarette in his mouth and pretended to be pretentious. Li Jing and Li Jing were envious and wanted to ask for one. Foolish Yuchi actually said that he didn't have one and even laughed at them.
This was intolerable. Although the two of them had their tails between their legs, could they not even smoke?
Hence, they came.
The old hooligan Hou Junji had been a hooligan in his youth, but now that Li Er had made him Duke, he felt that he was very impressive.
Nowadays, smoking was popular in Chang 'an. He thought to himself, I'm so awesome. If I haven't even smoked before, it might be embarrassing if I tell others. Therefore, he didn't dare to ask Li Er for it, so he ran to Qin Mo and said that if he didn't give them cigarettes, they wouldn't go back.
"Uncles, why are you doing this?"
Qin Mo distributed the cigarettes to them and couldn't help but feel proud. He had accidentally led the fashion trend of the Tang Empire.
This group of old fogeys finally started smoking cigarettes and puffing out smoke.
Li Jing was a fair-skinned fatty. He sighed as he puffed out clouds and mist." The cigarette really lives up to its reputation. It's like a god when it puffs out clouds and mist.”
The others nodded. Actually, this group of old fogeys felt that smoking was too cool.
If they knew the word 'present'.
Apart from cigarettes, chairs were also very popular in Chang 'an recently.
Therefore, sitting on a chair and smoking was a very cool thing to do.
When Qin Mo took out the popsicle, these old fogeys unanimously expressed that sitting on the chair, smoking while eating the popsicle was the best enjoyment.
After that, they heard that Qin Manor's delicacies were very famous, so they had lunch before returning.
Of course, their level was not high enough for Qin Mo to personally cook. Even if it was the dishes cooked by the chefs of Qin Manor, it was enough for them to eat until their mouths were full of oil.
After eating and drinking their fill, they each brought a pack of cigarettes back.
After that, smoking became even more fashionable. Occasionally, the Duke of the Great Tang would be seen smoking on the Vermilion Bird Avenue. The commoners would exclaim in admiration that he was worthy of being one of the top nobles in the Great Tang.
Other than cigarettes and chairs, there was another thing that was very popular.
Underwear.
In ancient times, people didn't have underwear. They only had underwear, which was actually underwear.
Hence, Qin Mo invented home underwear.
After Qin Mo explained, the old fellows who came to Qin Manor saw it. They all felt that it was good that there was no need to grind birds when riding a horse.
Then, underwear also became popular.
After sending these old goods away, another group of teenagers who were chasing after the tail of fashion arrived.
The leaders were the three Cheng brothers, Li Chengqian, Zhangsun Chong, and the others.
There was also the little fatty, Li Tai.
"Your Highness, I'm here." Qin Mo bowed.
"Qin Dalang, long time no see.”
Li Chengqian pulled Qin Mo's hand affectionately.
" What a pervert!" Qin Mo retracted his hand without leaving a trace and asked," May I know why Your Highness is looking for me?" Aren't you going to school today?"
Damn it, don't say that you miss me, I don't want to be gay.
Li Chengqian stammered," The gentlemen in the directorate are busy promoting the use of punctuations and have no time for us. Recently, I heard that the cigarettes that are quite popular in Chang 'an are from Qin Dalang. I wonder if you can let us have a taste?”
This was definitely the fault of the three Cheng brothers. The three brothers stole Old Cheng's cigarettes and were hung up and beaten up. However, this became the qualifications of the three brothers to brag. They boasted all day in the Imperial College that the three brothers were the only children in the entire Tang Empire who had smoked.
It turned out that the Crown Prince skipped class to smoke. If this was in the future, he would definitely be a typical bad child and would definitely be hung up by his parents to smoke.
However, Qin Mo didn't have the slightest awareness of teaching a child a bad lesson." Come, come, come. Everyone, take one.”
Hence, the group of children began to spit out smoke.
Li Chengqian praised," The cigarettes are indeed worthy of their reputation. Qin Dalang is indeed loyal. I asked my father for cigarettes, but my father said that I was still young and couldn't indulge in pleasure, so he refused to give it to me.”
Qin Mo couldn't help but smile. If this was in the future, a nine-year-old child would definitely be beaten until his butt was swollen if he asked his father for a cigarette.
However, in the Great Tang, smoking had become a form of enjoyment.
If future generations studied history and children in the future were not allowed to smoke, who knew if they would blame Qin Mo for poisoning children.
Qin Mo also found it interesting.
"The Crown Prince is right. Smoking is indeed a rare enjoyment.”Zhangsun Chong and the others nodded.
Li Tai, that little fatty, had inhaled too much and choked on his cigarette, causing him to cough. Qin Mo smiled and asked," Your Highness, do you know how to smoke?”
Li Tai was unconvinced and took a big puff of smoke." Don't look down on me. I'm a member of the royal family, a true noble.”
Qin Mo praised." Awesome."
The little fatty became arrogant.
Qin Mo asked the servants to bring him a popsicle, and the group of kids were instantly conquered.
In fact, compared to cigarettes, they liked popsicles more, but they were too embarrassed to say it. This was like the emperor's new clothes. Everyone knew that the emperor was not wearing clothes, but they did not dare to say it, afraid that others would say that they were fools.
