"My wife, how do you feel recently?"
In the orchard of the courtyard, Ang Lee gently stroked Yan Ruyu's big belly and asked tenderly.
"My husband, the child always kicks me. My belly hurts."
Yan Ruyu pouted and said with grievance. When a woman was pregnant for a long time, the child in her belly would gradually grow up. Of course, it would become more and more naughty and would kick the belly. Of course, this was also a sign of the child's health.
"This little guy is naughty again. He will be spanked when he is born."
Ang Lee said with a smile and kissed the belly.
"Dong dong …"
A small foot stretched out from the belly and kicked Ang Lee's mouth.
"My husband, look, he is kicking me again. My belly hurts."
Yan Ruyu grimaced in pain.
"My wife, this is not kicking you. It is the baby who is kicking me. I just said to spank him and he kicked me. This little guy will definitely be a prodigy in the future, just like me."
Ang Lee said with a smile.
"Hee hee, my husband, do you think it is a boy or a girl in my belly?"
Yan Ruyu asked seriously.
Ang Lee carefully observed Yan Ruyu's belly and replied seriously, "It likes to kick my wife's belly. It must be a naughty boy, most likely a boy."
"What if it is a girl? Won't my husband be unhappy? "
Ang Lee hurriedly said, "How can that be? If it is a girl, she must be as beautiful as my wife. I will be very happy. "
"You really know how to coax people."
Yan Ruyu happily threw herself into Ang Lee's arms and felt a great sense of security.
Several days later, Yan Ruyu's pained cries could be heard from the courtyard's main residence. She was trying her best to give birth to a baby. As for Li An, he could only pace back and forth outside, unable to help at all.
"Why is it so slow? Is it a difficult birth?"
Ang Lee became more and more anxious. In this house, there was his wife and child!
"Wah wah wah …"
The sound of a baby crying suddenly came from inside the house. Ang Lee was overjoyed. The baby was finally born. After much effort, Yan Ruyu finally gave birth to the child.
"Congratulations to Assistant Minister Li. Both mother and son are safe."
The midwife came out with a smile and reported the good news to Ang Lee.
"That's great! Reward! Everyone will be rewarded!"
As soon as Ang Lee was happy, he immediately began to distribute the money, making everyone happy with him, and strode into the room.
"Madam, thank you for your hard work."
Looking at Yan Ruyu's sweaty face, Ang Lee kissed her forehead with heartache.
"Husband, you guessed right. It is indeed a boy."
Yan Ruyu's breathing was a little weak. Obviously, she had used up too much energy to give birth to this child.
"Madam, you have just given birth. You need to rest more. Close your eyes and rest for a while."
Ang Lee let Yan Ruyu have a good rest and catch her breath. He picked up the baby and observed it.
"This little guy looks quite like me. He's so cute!"
Ang Lee kissed the baby's face and felt that his heart was about to melt. This was his baby, and it was so cute. Of course, he was very happy.
"Husband, I want to see the baby."
Yan Ruyu was also eager to see the baby's appearance.
"Madam, you are too tired. Rest for a while! I'll just tell you. "
Ang Lee said with a smile and described the baby's eyes, nose, and mouth. Of course, no matter how detailed the description was, it was not as direct as seeing it with her own eyes.
"Hubby, you've already described the baby as a monster. Is my baby that scary? No, I have to see it with my own eyes. "
Yan Ruyu opened her eyes and was very eager to see what the baby she gave birth to looked like.
"Come, look at the baby. Is it as cute as I said?"
Ang Lee put the baby in Yan Ruyu's arms and let Yan Ruyu see it clearly.
"It's not like what you said! But it does look very cute. "
Yan Ruyu kissed the baby's forehead and held it tightly in her arms.
"Madam, the baby has just been born. You need to feed it some milk."
Ang Lee suddenly thought that the baby had to drink its first mouthful of milk as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be hungry.
"Milk?"
Yan Ruyu was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, she blushed shyly and gently lifted her underwear to feed the baby.
After a woman gave birth, milk would quickly come down. This was produced under the effect of female hormones. Moreover, milk would not disappear until she was weaned.
The baby obediently began to drink milk. The sizzling sound was very pleasant.
A newborn baby might not have any other abilities, but the ability to suck milk was innate. This ability didn't need anyone to teach it. It could be learned as soon as it was born. It was very magical.
After sucking for a while, the baby was probably full. It closed its eyes and fell asleep.
"Madam, our baby is asleep. Let the servants take care of it! You need to rest more. "
Ang Lee saw that Yan Ruyu had just given birth and her body was fragile. Naturally, he hoped that Yan Ruyu could rest more.
"Husband, I want to hold it for a while more."
Yan Ruyu looked at the baby in her arms lovingly. She was reluctant to let the servants take care of the baby.
"Madam is such a kind mother. I am so happy."
"Husband, the baby should be named. What name should we give it?"
Yan Ruyu looked at Ang Lee.
"Madam is well-read. Let's name it!"
Ang Lee felt that Yan Ruyu might be able to give it a nice-sounding name.
"Guo 'er, what do you think?"
Yan Ruyu immediately came up with a name.
"Guo 'er? Why do you have to give it this name? "
Ang Lee was rather surprised. He had heard wrongly. He thought that it was Princess Anle, Li Longji's cousin.
"Husband, I take a walk in the orchard every day. The baby also grew up smelling the fragrance of fruits. Isn't it good to call it Guo 'er?"
Yan Ruyu frowned.
"It's the fruit of fruits! This name is not bad. Since Madam likes it, let's call it that! "
Ang Lee heaved a sigh of relief and quickly agreed. Actually, the baby's name was not very important. Moreover, Yan Ruyu's name was not bad. It was quite poetic. Ang Lee naturally did not have to object.
"Guo 'er, did you hear that? You have a name now. You are called Guo 'er. My Guo' er. "
Yan Ruyu had never been so gentle. Her expression when she looked at Guo 'er in her arms was many times gentler than when she looked at Ang Lee. This made Ang Lee feel a little jealous.
Ang Lee, the Emperor's favorite, suddenly had a son. This news seemed to have grown wings and immediately spread in the capital. There was an endless stream of people who came to congratulate Ang Lee. They were about to trample on the threshold of Ang Lee's house.
The gifts were innumerable. Li An did not stand on ceremony and accepted all of them. How could he not accept the kind intentions of others?
"Alang, someone from the palace has come. They brought many gifts."
Ang Lee heard and quickly went forward to welcome them. He also saw the Emperor's eunuch.
"Congratulations Assistant Minister Li. His Majesty has just issued a decree to bestow the title of Fifth Grade Official to Assistant Minister Li's son, Li Guo. He will also give a batch of items for the palace."
The eunuch did not dare to be arrogant in front of Ang Lee. His attitude was very respectful. He did not read it out loud and directly handed the imperial decree to Ang Lee.
"Thank you for your hard work. I have just made a batch of fun glass balls. Take one each and keep it as a souvenir."
Ang Lee took out a batch of glass balls and handed them to the eunuchs.
"Oh, there are live fish inside."
"Here, I have grass prawns inside."
"Mine are locusts. They look like they are struggling."
When everyone received the glass balls, they were all stunned. These eunuchs had been in the palace for a long time and had long seen transparent glass balls. However, they had never seen a glass ball with small animals inside. This was the first time they had seen one.
"Assistant Minister Li, this thing is too expensive. We …"
Li An hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's nothing valuable. It's just that when I was casting the glass balls, I added live animals into them. It's not that valuable. This official also made two big ones. They've already been packed into boxes and are ready to be presented to His Majesty. I'll have to trouble you all to help this official deliver them to His Majesty."
After that, he ordered people to carry the boxes with two large glass balls and opened them for the eunuchs to take a look.
In each of the large glass balls, there was a struggling parrot. In addition, there were branches and leaves, as well as parrot food. It looked very beautiful. It was much better than the small glass balls given to the eunuchs.
"Thank you, Assistant Minister Li. I will take my leave."
The eunuchs happily accepted Ang Lee's small gifts and returned to the Daming Palace with the two large glass balls.
Looking at the royal items sent by the emperor and the imperial edict to confer his son as a fifth-rank official, Ang Lee was in a good mood. Unknowingly, he had been in the Tang dynasty for a few years. His life was getting better day by day. Now, he was proud of his success.
Of course, there was a saying that flowers never bloom for a hundred days. There was also a saying that the higher you climb, the harder you fall. It was not necessarily a good thing to be favored too much. It would attract a lot of jealousy. Once he lost power, he might end up being kicked by everyone.
In order to avoid this situation, Ang Lee could not let himself lose power. The premise of not letting himself lose power was to always make himself useful so that the emperor could not leave him.
Fortunately, Ang Lee was now fully equipped with such ability. The research and development of science and technology was endless. Moreover, in addition to research and development, he could also make improvements. This could ensure that Ang Lee would always be useful.
In addition, he should try to reduce the number of sinners and rope in more useful people. For example, the eunuchs in the palace could not be easily offended. He should also make friends and rope in capable people. When he was free, it was a good way to give them some gadgets that he had developed.
He had just gotten a son, so he needed to deal with all kinds of people who came to congratulate him. Therefore, in a short time, Ang Lee could not put his main energy into research and development. He needed to stay in the mansion to deal with these trivial matters.
In addition, the baby had just been born. Ang Lee also wanted to spend more time with his baby. Anyway, the research and development of products did not care about these few days. Moreover, the products that had been developed were enough for those craftsmen to be busy.
After lying on the bed to rest for three days, Yan Ruyu's complexion gradually improved. She could already walk around.
In fact, at this time, Yan Ruyu's body had not fully recovered. She still needed to lie down and rest. However, she always stayed in the room and felt very stuffy. Therefore, she insisted on walking around the orchard.
"Guo 'er, mother will bring you to see the flowers in the orchard."
Yan Ruyu carried Guo 'er and walked into the orchard.
"Madam, you just gave birth. How can you be so tired? Give Guo 'er to me!"
Ang Lee walked into the mansion and saw Yan Ruyu carrying Guo 'er towards the orchard.
"Guo 'er, Guo' er, let your father carry you!"
Yan Ruyu smiled gently and passed Guo 'er to Ang Lee.
It was spring now. The spring plowing had just ended. It was the season for all kinds of fruit trees to bloom. The orchard beside the mansion was filled with the fragrance of flowers.
Ang Lee carried Guo 'er and walked into the orchard with Yan Ruyu.
"Hehehe, oh …"
Guo 'er seemed to have found a familiar feeling. She smiled happily as soon as she entered the orchard.
"Guo 'er, my little Guo' er, do you recognize this place? I used to bring you here to enjoy the fragrance of the flowers every day."
Seeing Guo 'er smile, Yan Ruyu's entire body melted.
"Hehehe …"
Guo 'er smiled again as if she was agreeing to it.
"My little Guo 'er, you even kicked your father here the last time. Do you still remember?"
Ang Lee stroked Guo 'er's face and was intoxicated.
"Hehehe …"
Guo 'er smiled happily. The more she smiled, the more it melted Ang Lee and Yan Ruyu's hearts.
"My little Guo 'er, mother will bring you here to see the fruit trees and flowers every day. Is that okay?"
Yan Ruyu said with a gentle smile.
"Oh …"
Guo 'er actually agreed. Although it was an unintentional snort, it still made Ang Lee and Yan Ruyu very excited. They felt that Guo' er was agreeing to them.
The orchard was relatively large. There were at least dozens of fruit trees planted. The flowering period of each fruit tree was slightly different. Therefore, the flowers in the orchard could last for a few months. Ang Lee's family of three could enjoy the flowers for a few months.
The time spent with his wife and children was the happiest. It was much happier than researching technology. However, the happy years were destined to be short. In order to make the Tang Empire stronger, Ang Lee gradually increased the time spent on the development of machines. In the end, it was fixed at eight hours, which was eight hours in the future. It was not too tiring to work, but it would definitely affect the time spent with his family.
The effort and the return were always proportional. After a series of research, a pump that could withstand the mud and a suction device were successfully developed. They were all installed on a steamboat and formed a suction suction dredger.
The main function of the suction suction dredger was to dredge the river. In particular, there were many places in the Grand Canal where the water was shallow. This suction suction dredger was very needed to ensure that the Grand Canal could be dredged.
