Within a few days, word spread that Luo was holding a small pink umbrella on the coffin board.
Many people just laugh when they hear about things like this.
Of course, there are also some who are too idle to spread the word, and even some who are scornful, as if Luo Yong has done such a shameful thing.
Luo Yong also knows that he has made many enemies in Chang'an City, and it is inevitable for him to be underestimated.
For example, this matter has changed a bit as word spread.
Many people secretly say that Luo Yong is gay.
Being gay, showing off one's appearance in front of saints.
Luo Yong: He is indeed gay, but he really has no idea at all about his wife and children.
Luo Yong sighed and complained to his colleagues: "Do you think I'm afraid of getting tanned?
I'm afraid of getting dark spots.
I'm still young and haven't married yet."
"Black Spot" and his colleagues were also a little surprised when they heard this.
"Of course."
Luo Yong said firmly: "There are a few people who have been exposed to the sun for a long time, and some of them have smooth faces.
If you look carefully, most of them have dark spots on their faces."
After hearing this, those people looked carefully at the grooms who drove their carriages, and then at the servants who ran errands with people all year round.
Sure enough, some of them had dark spots on their faces.
Now it’s okay, men in this era are such cowards.
Don’t think that if they don’t hold an umbrella on a hot day, they are not coquettish.
On the contrary, this is actually a kind of coquettishness.
On such a hot day, with such a strong sun, holding an umbrella is obviously more comfortable than not holding one.
Why don't they hold one?
Even if they have servants, they won't let them help hold one.
Isn't it just to make themselves look free, casual, handsome, and of course pure?
Let’s put aside the group of people who find it troublesome.
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, to be honest, appearance was still very important.
At this time, the imperial examination system had not played such a huge role as in later generations.
If young people now want to become officials, the conditions are very simple.
One is a good family background, and the other is One is capable.
It goes without saying that one has a good family background, but there is no absolute standard for judging ability.
How can one judge whether a person is capable or not?
One is the evaluation of the person in charge, and the other is the person’s reputation.
There are many factors that influence fame, such as having a distinguished background, having a wide circle of friends, being particularly good-looking, and being able to recite good poetry. , and various other talents, etc.
In this kind of environment, the trend of pretending to be cool is really unstoppable.
People with good appearance are naturally more popular in this kind of environment.
If you want to get along well, appearance is very important.
Whether it is young students or middle-aged and elderly scholars, there are few who do not pay attention to appearance.
Luo's words about the long spots really frightened many people.
Although the coffin board was a bit unconventional, his words were always relatively reliable.
So many people have an attitude of preferring to believe what they have rather than what they don’t have, and let their families go out to buy umbrellas.
Nowadays, in Chang'an City, apart from the merchants in the West Market who specialize in wholesale of oil-paper umbrellas and oil-cloth umbrellas, where else has the largest variety of oil-paper umbrellas and the most complete styles, it is naturally the North and South groceries.
The place in the West Market is so big, and the stalls of the merchants are also very big.
They have to buy hundreds of oil-paper umbrellas and pile them up there.
To see different styles, they often have to go to several shops.
Wherever you can find groceries from the north and south, it is convenient and convenient.

On the second floor of the North and South Grocery Store, there is a whole row of shelves dedicated to selling umbrellas, including oil paper, oilcloth, long handles, folded single-layer umbrellas, double-layer umbrellas, all kinds of colors and plain colors.
Recently, the number of customers who came to their grocery store to buy oil-paper umbrellas was several percent higher than usual, and the main items sold were plain long-handled umbrellas used by men.
In response to this phenomenon, Luo Yong specially customized a batch of high-end men's parasols.
The production cycle of umbrellas is short.
As long as we can recruit enough umbrella-making craftsmen and rush the work a little, the goods can be shipped very quickly.
Specially made high-end umbrellas like this usually cost more than 30 to 50 cents per umbrella, and more expensive ones such as hundreds of cents are common.
Correspondingly, the profits are naturally higher.
Those people who had previously made a fuss about Naluo using that little pink umbrella were so angry that their noses were crooked when they heard about it.
Some people also wrote lyrics to satirize those who hold umbrellas on sunny days, saying that they are bitches and unmanly, but they wrote about them, everyone should hold an umbrella anyway, after all, it is their own face, if it really gets exposed There are black spots, and those bastards who wrote the lyrics can't be held responsible for them, right?
In June of this year, all kinds of oil-paper umbrellas appeared in endlessly in Chang'an City.
Even on the streets, when they went to court every day, the officials basically had a parasol.
After all, there is a long distance from the main hall where they go to court to the palace gate where they leave the palace.
The summer in Chang'an City is so hot, and the sun in June of the lunar calendar is so strong that it can burn people alive.
Use a parasol to block it.
First gear is obviously much better.
Besides, almost everyone holds an umbrella these days.
After seeing it a lot, it naturally becomes normal.
In the palace, the princes also asked the palace people to go to the city and buy various parasols.
The emperor received several umbrellas from his son, and he was very happy.
During this period of time, the emperor sat in the palace and knew everything about what happened to that little pink umbrella.
Chang'an City was like this.
When the storms never stopped, this time the storm didn't hit him, so he just watched the excitement.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed, and now no one cares about the small pink umbrella on Luo Coffin Board.
The topics related to umbrellas are mostly about whose umbrella is beautiful, whose umbrella is vulgar, north and south.
What kind of new umbrellas and parasols have been launched in groceries?
At the end of June, I heard that one of Luo Yong's disciples had brought new technology from Lishi and could make an automatic umbrella.
When they came back this time, they brought an iron umbrella from Lishi.
It is said that as long as you press the mechanism on the handle, the iron umbrella can open by itself in a snap.
At first, this umbrella was displayed on the North and South Grocery Store and was not for sale.
Many people went to see the excitement and said that when the umbrella was opened, there was a strong wind and lightning.
It's a pity that there are still relatively few people who have actually witnessed this scene, because in less than half a day, this iron umbrella was bought by someone from the Duke of E's palace, that is, Youwuhou General Yuchi Jingde.
After General Yuchi got this iron umbrella, he couldn't put it down.
His love was no less than that of children for the first toy in their lives.
I heard that he carries this iron umbrella in and out all day long.
It protects him from the sun on sunny days and protects him from the rain on rainy days.
He also carries it with him on cloudy days: "Look, the sky is dark and it will probably rain again soon.
I'd better bring the umbrella with me." ” Within two days, the emperor asked Yuchi Jingde to enter the palace to meet the saint.
General Yuchi went there carrying his iron umbrella.
How could he do it without an umbrella in such a big sun?
Didn't that guy Luo Yong also say that?
, you will get dark spots on your face if you are exposed to the sun all day long.
But before he entered the palace, he was stopped by the guards.
His big umbrella was made of iron, about three feet long, and more than half a foot thick when combined.
It weighed about ten kilograms in his hand. , this thing can be used as a weapon, how could he be carried in front of the saint like this?
"Hey, this is just an umbrella."

General Yuchi was helpless, but the palace has rules.
If you don't want to take it with you, just leave it here for a while, and then take it away when he comes out.
"Squeak."
At this time, the palace door opened, and an eunuch came out of it.
He smiled and said to him: "The saint asked the general to go in quickly and take the iron umbrella in." "" When Yuchi Jingde heard this, he felt something was wrong, and immediately said: "It's okay, the guard said he wouldn't take it with him, so I'll just leave it here."
"Bring it in."
The eunuch said, "The saint heard that the general got a strange umbrella and wanted to see what happened."
Yes, there's no way to avoid it.
Yuchi Jingde had no choice but to go in with an iron umbrella.
After a while, when he came out again, his hand was empty, and there was no umbrella anywhere.
The emperor said that he would let the craftsmen dismantle his beloved iron umbrella, study the mechanism inside, and return it to him after the study was completed.
General Yuchi protested, fearing that those people had damaged his umbrella and would repair it when the time came.
Not coming back.
The emperor said that he was stingy.
Last time he just got a pair of boots, and other ministers didn't even let him see them.
Yuchi Jingde put them on and left.
Didn't he say a word at that time?
Why should he get them from him this time?
I can't even borrow an umbrella inside.
"Alas" General Yuchi couldn't help but sigh on the way out of the palace.
Looking back at the time when I got those boots, I was so happy that I was as happy as a fool.
I thought I had taken advantage of it.
The emperor's advantage is so easy to take advantage of.
Oh, his iron umbrella.
