It was absolutely correct to start taking care of one's health from a young age. It was very good for one's body. When one was old, one's body would be much better than his peers.
It was just that the ideal was very rich, but the reality was very harsh. Not everyone had the conditions to take care of their health from a young age. This was destined to be the patent of only a few people. Most people, not to mention starting to take care of their health from a young age, even when they were old, they had to drag their sick bodies to continue working in order to support their families or to reduce the economic pressure on their children. Taking care of one's health did not exist. It would never exist. It was simply a castle in the air that could not be realized at all.
The few people who could take care of their health from a young age were either the rich second generation who did not have to worry about food and drink, or the senior talents with outstanding abilities. These people had the conditions to start taking care of their health from a young age. If people who had nothing and started taking care of their health from a young age, it was very likely that they would work more than others when they were old. This was the so-called "sorrow in the old age".
There were many such examples. In the later society, there were many young people who did not have any outstanding abilities and did not have a high income. Their savings were at the level of moonlight, but they liked to enjoy themselves when they were young and never thought about the future. As a result, when they were old, they would suddenly find that they were people who had nothing. They had neither savings nor the ability to work and earn money. As a result, they were almost reduced to a state of waiting for death. They could only hope that the imperial court would give them some subsidies, but the imperial court also had a limited amount of money and would not subsidize a lot. As a result, their living standards could be imagined. As a result, many people, once they reached old age, would have the idea of committing suicide because there was really no meaning in living.
Of course, these young people who did not work hard deserved it. Generally, few people would sympathize with them. However, there was also a kind of people who worked very hard when they were young. They were very enthusiastic about their work, but because they were at the bottom of society, their income was only enough to maintain their normal life. After deducting rent and food, there was basically no surplus. When they were old, naturally, there was no way to continue to support themselves, and thus they became a miserable group of pitiful people.
In short, in a competitive society, people at the bottom of society not only could not pay attention to taking care of their health when they were young, but also could not earn much money. Gradually, they became old before they were rich. Finally, when they were old, they would have nothing. It was pitiful and sad.
Outstanding and irreplaceable talents, as well as many rich second and third generations, did not have to worry about this aspect. Their wealth and income were relatively high. Even if they did not work, they would still have a good income. If they worked for a little time, the income they could get was something that ordinary people could never catch up with in their entire lives. For example, a super talent like Li An could casually do something and it would be enough for him to live a carefree life. Therefore, there was no need for him to work hard. There was nothing wrong with enjoying more while he was young.
"What Prime Minister Zuo said makes sense. We should work harder when we are young, but we still need to pay attention to our health. As long as we don't take health as our main business, we can't work for two to four hours a day. However, we can still take some time to take a walk after dinner, right?"
. "Ang Lee looked at Chen Xilie and said.
Chen Xilie nodded and said, "You're right. Walk a hundred steps after a meal and live to ninety-nine. It's the same whether you're young or old."
"Assistant Minister Li, this telegraph …"
As soon as they finished talking about health, a minister immediately changed the topic to the telegraph machine. Obviously, these ministers knew what health was all about, so they were not very interested in this topic. However, they were very interested in the telegraph machine that Li An had just successfully tested. They wanted to know more about it, so they all gathered around and started asking questions.
For the entire day, Li An basically said everything he could say. As for the telegraph machine, Li An really did not want to say another word. In fact, he even felt a headache whenever the telegraph machine was mentioned. Therefore, he did not want to continue explaining and simply found an excuse to leave. When the ministers saw this, only a few of them stayed behind to continue their stroll. Most of them went back.
It had not snowed for a few days. There was still a lot of snow outside the capital, but inside the capital, all the snow had been cleared. There were only a few inconspicuous snow piles on both sides of the road. After all, the relevant personnel paid the most attention to the environment inside the capital. They would not let the snow stay for a long time, so as not to affect the traffic in the city.
On the way back, Ang Lee took a nap in the car for a while. When the car stopped, Ang Lee woke up. At this time, it was already late at night. Most of the people outside the city had already fallen asleep. Only the businessmen and a few people were still enjoying the nightlife. In the bustling commercial district of the city, many young people were drunk at this time. This also drove the commercial development there. Many shops in the busiest areas were open all day, and several groups of people took turns to serve them.
Since the abolition of the night ban, the nightlife of the Tang dynasty began. After the popularization of lamps, the nightlife of the Tang dynasty became more colorful. Various colorful neon lights gradually appeared on the bustling streets of the city.
In order to attract customers, many shops would choose to use lights to decorate the shop at night. In this way, it had a great effect on driving the business of their shops. After all, the brighter the shop, the more luxurious it felt, and the more comfortable it was for people to stay inside.
"Alang, we're home."
Ang Lee stepped out of the car and staggered into his house. At this time, most of the people at home were asleep, and only a few people on duty were still awake.
There were about seven or eight male and female servants, and more than a dozen guards who were responsible for night patrol. There were more than 20 people in total. There were also people who cooked at night to serve the people on duty.
"Alang, do you want to prepare some hangover soup?"
The servant on duty in the kitchen asked.
"I didn't drink today. No need."
Ang Lee walked to the inner courtyard alone. In order not to wake up his family, Ang Lee's footsteps were very light. He could hardly hear his own footsteps.
"My husband, you're back. Why are you back so late?"
As soon as he walked to the middle courtyard, he heard Yan Ruyu's voice, which made Ang Lee slightly surprised. It was so late. Yan Ruyu should go to bed early. How could she stay up so late? It was not good for her health.
Ang Lee frowned and criticized, "It's already midnight. Why aren't you resting? It's not good for your health to stay up late. Look at my wife, you're so haggard."
This was not nonsense. Seeing Yan Ruyu stay up late to wait for him, Ang Lee's heart really ached. Moreover, he felt that it was completely unnecessary. If he came back late, he could wash up and go to bed. He didn't need someone to accompany him. It was a complete waste. But from another point of view, it was also quite touching. After he came home alone, he could see someone waiting for him. This feeling was not ordinary. It warmed his heart and made him very happy. There was a feeling that it was worth it no matter how hard and tiring it was.
Yan Ruyu smiled and said, "I didn't expect to wait until now. In the past, my husband went to the palace for a banquet and came back nearly two hours earlier than this time. Why did you take so long this time? You made me wait again and again. Every time I heard a carriage pass by outside the mansion, I thought that my husband had come back."
Obviously, Yan Ruyu didn't expect that Ang Lee would take so long this time. She originally planned to wait for Ang Lee by sleeping an hour later. Unfortunately, he didn't. But since she had waited for an hour, what did it matter if she waited a little longer? After waiting for a while and still not appearing, Yan Ruyu was a little worried and didn't feel sleepy anymore. So she waited for another hour, but Ang Lee still didn't appear. In this way, she could only continue to wait. Even if she was already yawning, she could only continue to persist. At worst, she wouldn't sleep all night.
"Madam, there's nothing to worry about. I made a great contribution today. I'm going to drink the celebratory wine, not to participate in the Hongmen Banquet. There are guards following me back and forth. What danger can there be?"
Ang Lee said with a smile.
Although he was full of confidence when he spoke, Ang Lee felt quite warm and happy that Yan Ruyu was willing to wait for him at night.
"They were going to wait for you to come back, but I saw that they were too tired, so I let them go back to rest first. It's better to stay up all night alone than to stay up all night together. Cao accompanied me for an hour and saw that she was yawning, so I let her go to sleep. There are only two new maids on night duty in the backyard. Would you like some hangover soup, my husband?"
Yan Ruyu said.
Ang Lee shook his head with a smile and said, "I didn't drink much today. I just focused on eating. By the way, have you eaten the big grouper rewarded by His Majesty?"
This big grouper was rewarded by His Majesty to Ang Lee's family. It was a very rare fish. However, the big fish was sent a little late. Yan Ruyu and others might have already eaten it. In this case, it was unknown whether they had eaten the fish meat or not.
"Eunuch said it was a reward from His Majesty. It's still warm. How dare we not eat it? In front of Eunuch, each of us had a few mouthfuls. It tasted really good. But we just had dinner not long ago, so we couldn't eat much, let alone taste it very good. We'll heat it up tomorrow. It'll taste better. "
Yan Ruyu said.
Any ingredient was generally more delicious when it was freshly made. It would not taste so good when it was leftover. However, if one's stomach was just full, it would be a different situation. When one's stomach was full, even if the top delicacies were placed in front of him, he would not have much interest.
Just like a very lecherous person, if he had just indulged in a beauty, he would also enter the sage mode. Once he entered the sage mode, this person would become uninterested in beauties and become a sage with ideals and ambitions.
"Madam, you must not know that this big grouper was snatched from His Majesty's mouth. At tonight's banquet, everyone ate the big grouper except His Majesty."
Ang Lee said with a smile.
"Snatched it from His Majesty's mouth? How dare you, my husband?"
Yan Ruyu knew that a fish was not a big deal, so she was not nervous at all. Instead, she felt that Ang Lee was very awesome and had a great image, which made her admire him very much.
Ang Lee said proudly, "At today's banquet, His Majesty directly sent a report to the imperial kitchen in the hall and asked them to make three huge groupers. After they were done, His Majesty had one grouper, I had one grouper, and the rest of the more than 100 ministers shared one grouper. I saw that it was impossible to finish such a big grouper, so I told His Majesty to bring the rest back for Madam to taste. When His Majesty heard that, he put down his chopsticks directly and asked a little eunuch in the palace to send the biggest grouper that had not been eaten yet to our mansion. Because of my words, His Majesty did not eat any grouper tonight."
"My husband is so awesome. You are His Majesty's favorite minister."
Yan Ruyu said happily.
Ang Lee nodded proudly and said, "Of course. After all, other ministers are not as capable as me. What His Majesty favors is not me, but my irreplaceable ability. "
This was not what Ang Lee said. In the entire Tang dynasty, no minister's ability could be compared with Ang Lee's. All the capable ministers were so small and insignificant in front of Ang Lee.
"Yes, yes, yes. My husband is the most awesome."
Yan Ruyu praised Ang Lee. After a pause, she said, "It's so late, but why aren't you sleepy? You were sleepy just now, but now you are full of energy. "
"Haha! I was too sleepy. I just slept in the car. When I got home, I was still dizzy. But as soon as I saw you, I was suddenly not sleepy. Now I am very energetic. How about we go to the orchard? The environment there is the quietest, and no one will disturb us. "
It had been a long time since Li An went to the orchard to play at night. He remembered that the last time he did it was two months ago when he secretly did it in the orchard. That kind of feeling was very exciting and wonderful. However, it was because he didn't do it often that he found it interesting. If he did it every day, he wouldn't have such a feeling.
It was dark and windy today. It was a good time to do bad things secretly. Although there was a bedroom in the backyard and it was warmer in the house, it lacked a special kind of passion.
The temperature in winter was very low, and most of the fruit trees were bare. However, there were still a few fruit trees that still had tempting fruits hanging on them, allowing people to eat the most delicious and fresh fruits in winter. This was also Li An's deliberate plan. When he was planting the trees, he had already considered the problem of eating fruits in winter. Thus, Li An had specially sent servants to many places in the Great Tang to purchase high-quality fruits that ripened in different seasons. This was so that his orchard could produce high-quality fruits throughout the year so that his family could eat the freshest and most delicious fruits in any season.
