When Li Su pulled down the curtains and the research room was dark, the light bulb glowed orange, brightening the dark room.

The light emitted by this bulb is actually much brighter than when you hold it.

And this, just with a potato and a few threads, and a strange glowing gadget, is amazing.

If it can be promoted, I believe that thousands of people in Datang will no longer need to light oil lamps and candles.

As long as electricity can be studied, it can benefit tens of millions of Datang people!

Next, Li Su gave them a research topic, which was to make storage batteries and light bulbs.

With the current scientific basis, they can only make some simple batteries and light bulbs.

As for generators, there is certainly no basis for making large generators, but there is no need to think about it.

However, as long as it was possible to manufacture storage batteries and light bulbs, it would be an epoch-making revolution.

After the assignment was given, the research institute began to study in full swing.

And this year, fifteen countries have sent many noble children to study at Yizhou University.

At present, there are as many as 20,000 students enrolled in Yizhou University.

In addition, the women's college is also constantly expanding.

With the cradle of cultivating culture, I believe that in a few years, there will be more and more scientific researchers.

Science and technology will inevitably enter a period of rapid development.

……

In Chang'an City, Li Jing contracted the disease.

After learning the news, Princess Qin Mengxin was very sad and worried, and prepared to go back to Chang'an City to visit.

Li Su couldn't leave for the time being, and was going to go over a few days later after dealing with the affairs here.

Qin Mengxin could only go back to Chang'an by himself.

And Li Su was not worried about her safety, so he decided to let Xue Xiaoxiao accompany her back.

In recent years, Xue Xiaoxiao has practiced the Yijin Sutra and has reached the realm of Xiaocheng.

With Xue Xiaoxiao following, Li Su sent another fifty Huya special combat team members to follow, which could ensure that Qin Meng's heart was safe.

After Qin Mengxin and Xue Xiaoxiao left, every day after Li Su returned home, he felt a little lonely.

And a few days later, it was Wu Meiniang's birthday.

In previous years, birthday banquets were held in the Jiedu Embassy's Mansion.

And this year, the princess and Xue Xiaoxiao were not there, and Li Su decided to have a special birthday for Wu Meiniang.

In the past few years, Wu Meiniang has been busy managing the Chinese Commercial Bank for him.

The Chinese Commercial Bank can have today's scale, and Wu Meiniang has contributed a lot.

And Li Su's affairs are also very busy, and there is not much time to meet in two years.

Li Su always felt that he owed a lot to Wu Meiniang.

In that case, on this birthday, let's compensate her well!

Two days later, it was Wu Meiniang's birthday.

On this day, Li Su did not prepare a banquet in the mansion.

Instead, he went directly to the headquarters of China Commercial Bank in Yizhou.

Entering the headquarters, Li Su came to the president's office here and found a long queue outside the office.

These are the persons in charge of various departments of the China Commercial Bank, who came to ask President Wu Meiniang about the matter.

These people outside, after seeing Li Su, hurriedly wanted to greet Li Su.

However, they were all stopped by Li Su.

He is also going to surprise Wu Meiniang.

Li Su waited for half an hour, and these people who asked for instructions were let go.

Li Su walked into the president's office and found that Wu Meiniang had just stood up, stretched, and her face was full of exhaustion.

Wu Meiniang didn't look this way, and didn't find that the person who came in was Li Su, the king of Shu.

"What's the matter with you?"

Li Su coughed twice, and then said, "I'm going to help you take a day off, and I'll ask the president for approval." ”

Hearing Li Su's voice, Wu Meiniang suddenly raised her head, only to find that the person who came in was Li Su, the king of Shu.

Wu Meiniang asked in surprise, "Your Highness, why are you here?" ”

Li Su looked at Wu Meiniang and said with a slight smile: "Meiniang, this king didn't say it just now, this king is here to help you ask for leave." ”

Wu Meiniang said helplessly: "Your Highness, people also want to rest, but there are really still things that have not been dealt with today, and it will be in the afternoon at the earliest." ”

And Li Su walked up to Wu Meiniang and said softly: "Meiniang, don't deal with anything today, leave it to them to solve it themselves." Today is your birthday, and this king has decided to give you a special birthday. Happy birthday to you! ”

Hearing Li Su's words, Wu Meiniang was stunned at first, and then said in surprise: "Yes? Is it my birthday? If Your Highness doesn't say it, people will forget it! ”

Li Yu laughed and said, "Let's go, I'll take you for your birthday!" ”

Wu Meiniang nodded happily, then called her female assistant in, gave a few orders, and then walked out happily.

"Your Highness, you wait for someone for a while, and they will change their clothes."

Li Su nodded, and then waited for about half an hour before Wu Meiniang changed her clothes.

I have to say that when a woman dresses up, she really has no concept of time.

However, when Wu Meiniang, who was wearing a purple dress, appeared in front of Li Su, Li Su was really amazed.

It turned out that unconsciously, Wu Meiniang had grown from a young girl to a girl.

And her kind of charm adds ten points.

At this time, under the careful dressing, Li Su was stunned for a while, and he actually looked straight.

Wu Meiniang was happy and shy at the same time, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Your Highness, why are you looking at people like this?" ”

Li Su came back to his senses at this time, and couldn't help but grin: "Who made you so beautiful today?" ”

"Then Your Highness means that people weren't beautiful before?"

Oh, woman!

Li Yu said: "No, every time this king sees you, he finds that you will become more beautiful!" ”

Hearing Li Su's words, Wu Meiniang couldn't help but smile like a flower, and then couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, I don't know where you want to take people to celebrate your birthday?" ”

Li Su couldn't help but say to Wu Meiniang: "Meiniang, today I am going to take you to the river, let's catch fish, hunt, and have a picnic." Just bring a few guards to guard the perimeter, and the rest are not invited, just the two of us celebrate our birthdays, what do you think? ”

Wu Meiniang couldn't help but say excitedly: "Great, thank you, Your Highness!" ”

This time, Li Yu only brought Li Yuanfang and fifty members of the Huya Special Combat Team with him, and took Wu Meiniang to the nearby Qinghe River.

After coming to the river, Li ordered the guards to guard the perimeter from afar.

and ordered Li Yuanfang to send people to hunt.

There are people in this vicinity, and there are naturally no large beasts.

But pheasants, hares, and some birds are still there.

And the Huya special combat team members brought out by Li Yuanfang will definitely be able to harvest a lot.

If he didn't rely on them, if he relied on them to catch fish by themselves, Li Su was afraid that he would not be able to eat......

At this time, the weather is about to be hot before it gets hot.

The clear water of the river flows along the riverbed.

The river is a few feet wide, and the deepest part is probably up to a person's knees.

The water of the river is clear, and you can clearly see the aquatic plants on the embankment and the fine sand at the bottom of the river.

In the river, you can see schools of white striped fish swimming freely in the water.

In the grass layer, there are grass carp that are more than a foot long, and black catfish.

On the grass on the banks of the river, the grass can drown people's knees.

Butterflies can be seen everywhere, and from time to time various birds fly out of the grass, probably nesting in the grass.

The scenery in the wilderness is breathtaking.

Just standing there, you're intoxicated.

Not to mention, there is still a loved one by your side.

At this time, Wu Meiniang's heart was full of happiness, and it was about to overflow from her heart.

At this time, Li Yu had already taken off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs, and shouted to Wu Meiniang: "Meiniang, come and catch fish in the river." ”

"Hey, here it is!"

When Wu Meiniang came, she was wearing a skirt, which was not very convenient to go down the river.

But fortunately, she already knew that she was going to play by the river, so she brought a change of clothes.

And the guards set up a tent by the river.

Wu Meiniang walked into the tent, changed her clothes, and came to the river again.

This time, she removed her shoes and played with her trouser legs, revealing a white calf.

Then I walked to the river step by step.

I stretched out my little feet first and tried the water temperature, and it was a little cold.

Wu Meiniang didn't dare to enter the river all at once, and was still tempting little by little.

And Li Su, who was next to him, smiled evilly, and pulled Wu Meiniang directly into the river.

Wu Meiniang couldn't help but exclaim, and was beaten by the river ice.

couldn't help but clench his little fists, beat Li Su's chest twice and said, "Your Highness, you are so bad!" ”

At the beginning of the day, the river was very cold, but it didn't take long for me to get used to it.

Next, Li Su took Wu Meiniang and began to catch fish in the grass.

In the early days, because there was not enough to eat, many villagers would catch fish by the river, and there were not many fish in the river.

But now, the people of the entire Jiannan Province, in addition to farming, are all working in factories.

The children have also entered the school, and after school, they have to read, write and do their homework, where is the free time to catch fish by the river?

After a few years of recuperation, there are more fish in the river.

Because there are aquatic plants by the river, many small fish like to forage in the aquatic plants.

Therefore, in the grass by the river, gently reach over and press it sharply when you get closer, and basically you will not be empty-handed.

Li Su had already held down several small fish in the grass, and then with his other hand, he slowly pulled them out of the grass and threw them to the shore.

The small fish is thrown off the surface of the water and a string of operating droplets are sprinkled.

After throwing it on the shore, it keeps jumping in the grass.

Every time Li Su caught a small fish, Wu Meiniang would let out an exclamation.

However, she caught it herself several times, but she couldn't catch even a small fish.

Li Su smiled and said, "Mei Niang, come, I'll teach you how to catch it." ”

"You see, you come gently, don't be in a hurry, your hands should come slowly, and when you are almost at the edge of the grass, you will press it suddenly, and you can basically catch a fish. You try it as I say. ”

Wu Meiniang nodded, and followed the steps taught to her by Li Su, first gently moved to the edge of the grass, and then pressed it violently.

This time, she really felt that there was a slippery little fish under her hand, which was constantly struggling.

Wu Meiniang shouted excitedly: "Catch it!" I caught it! ”

However, when she let go and was about to catch the fish out of the grass, it was run away by the fish.

"Humph! It was run away by the fish, it ran away! It's infuriating! ”

Li Su couldn't help laughing and said, "Then just catch it again!" ”

After a while, Wu Meiniang held down a small fish again, and couldn't help shouting excitedly: "Your Highness, Your Highness, come and help me catch a fish, I pressed one!" ”

Li Su nodded, hurriedly went over, and took out a small fish from under Wu Meiniang's little hand.

Wu Meiniang took the small fish from Li Su's hand and was overjoyed.

Hurriedly grabbed the small fish, ran to the tent with his feet, took out the bucket, filled the bucket with water, and then put the small fish into the bucket.

The few small fish that Li Su caught earlier were also thrown into the bucket.

And next, Wu Meiniang herself also learned to catch fish, and she had a lot of fun.

Li Su grabbed it for a while, and then lost interest.

Then Li Su went ashore and sat on the grass, watching Wu Meiniang have been excitedly catching fish.

Just taking her out today and catching fish with her can make her happy like this.

This is also in normal times, she is too busy and tired to take care of business, and she has been depressed for too long.

And usually, I am also very busy, and unconsciously, I ignore her existence.

In the future, I will have to find more time to spend with her.

Wu Meiniang had a lot of fun, but she was so happy that she was so happy.

It turns out that the water in this river is deep and shallow.

Like a place where the river bends, the sand underneath cannot be retained, and it will be washed away by the flowing water.

The water here is much deeper than normal.

And Wu Meiniang only cared about catching fish, and didn't look at the water level under her feet at all.

As a result, he stepped on the air and fell directly into the puddle, and his hands were straight on the water.

Li Su, who was sitting on the grass, couldn't help but be startled and hurriedly ran over.

Fortunately, the depth of the water in that place was actually no more than Wu Meiniang's chest.

After a few poofs, Wu Meiniang stood up by herself.

And Li Su jumped down directly and pulled her up.

After going ashore, Wu Meiniang couldn't help but sneeze twice.

Li Su asked worriedly: "Mei Niang, it can't be a cold, right?" ”

Although Wu Meiniang was drenched in water, like a chicken in soup, she didn't mean to be angry at all, but smiled very happily.

"That's how it feels like to fall into the river, and I think it's fun!"

"Your Highness, you can rest assured, I'll just change my clothes, so that I won't catch a cold!"

Hearing Wu Meiniang's words, Li Su couldn't help but say angrily: "Is it fun to fall into the river?" Hmph, wait until next time, if you fall deeper than you, you'll know! ”

Wu Meiniang grinned and said, "Your Highness, aren't you still there?" People are not afraid! ”

Wu Meiniang went to the tent to change her clothes, wiped off the water stains on her head, and came out and said to Li Su: "Your Highness, people have changed, come and change your clothes!" ”

Li Su was also soaked all over her body in order to pull Wu Meiniang, and her clothes were tightly attached to her body, which was very uncomfortable.

And when the wind blows, it feels a little cold.

However, he didn't come with any clothes.

So, Li Su shook his head and said, "I don't need to change it, I'll do it in a while!" ”

Wu Meiniang smiled and pushed him into the tent and said, "Your Highness, go and change your clothes, someone has brought you clothes!" ”

Mei Niang was very careful, and even brought clothes for herself.

After changing her clothes and waiting for her hair to dry, Wu Meiniang couldn't stay in the tent.

She ran out and caught grasshoppers and butterflies in the grass, and had a lot of fun.

Well, the number of grasshoppers in the grass layer is quite rare now.

The reason is that the number of grasshoppers is decreasing year by year due to excessive capture.

And the initiator is naturally Li Su, the king of Shu.

It's all because of the all-locust feast he launched, which made almost the entire Tang Dynasty like eating grasshoppers.

And the price of grasshoppers has also remained high.

This has made the grasshopper breeding industry very prosperous in recent years.

As for grasshoppers in the wild, there are many people who catch them.

But now, at the end of the day, there are not a few that can be caught.

……

Wu Meiniang played until the evening, and when she was tired of playing, she stopped.

At this time, Li Yuanfang had already ordered people to bring a lot of game, as well as mushrooms and various vegetables brought from the city, and ordered the soldiers to cook.

It didn't take long for the tantalizing scent to spread.

Soon, the meal was ready, and Li Yuanfang ordered someone to send the food into the tent.

As for them, they are around the pot and eat meat directly from a bowl.

Today, it is the two-person world of His Highness and the President, so they will not come over to disturb them without eyes.

Before eating, Li Su smiled and said to Wu Meiniang: "Meiniang, I have a birthday gift for you, you wait a minute, I'll get it for you." ”

Well?

Hearing Li Su's words, Wu Meiniang's face couldn't help but show curiosity.

Isn't it the best birthday gift for His Highness to take him out to play today?

When His Highness came down, he obviously didn't see anything he was carrying, could it be that this gift was carried with him?

However, if you carry it with you, can't you just dig it out for yourself?

Still need to look for it?

Just when Wu Meiniang was puzzled, Li Su pretended to be looking for something and bought a cake directly in the mall.

The cake is not big, and the cake is too big for the two of them to eat.

But the cake is very delicately made.

"Mei Niang, this cake is a birthday gift for you, I hope you can like it."

Cake?

Did you buy it from the old store of the Xu family in the city?

After Wu Meiniang opened it, she found that it was not.

In the old store of the Xu family, such a big cake has never been made.

It's not so beautiful, and even the taste is probably far inferior.

Although Wu Meiniang has not tasted the taste of the cake yet, just looking at the appearance and smelling the smell, you can feel that it must be delicious.

Wu Meiniang's eyes were unconsciously covered with water vapor, and she said softly to Li Su: "Your Highness, I like your gift very much." I'm so happy today, thank you, Your Highness. ”

Li Su couldn't help grabbing Wu Meiniang's hand, and said with a smile: "Meiniang, I won't allow you to say thank you again in the future." It's your birthday, as long as you're happy and happy! I wish you a day every year, and a future every year. ”

"Come, light the candle first, and then you blow out the wish. After making a wish, we can start eating. ”

Light candles, blow out candles, make wishes.

After completing this series of actions, Li Su then began to cut the cake.

Wu Meiniang tasted it, and the sweetness of the cake soon reached her heart.

This cake is the best cake she has ever eaten in her life.

After dinner, Li Su said to Wu Meiniang: "Meiniang, it's not early, let's go back to the city!" ”

Wu Meiniang shook her head and said, "Your Highness, however, people don't want to go back." Can we stay here for the night? ”

Suddenly!

There are so many mosquitoes and all kinds of small insects in the wild, and if you stay for one night, you will have to bite all over your body.

However, Wu Meiniang rarely begged him.

Today is her birthday.

And Wu Meiniang's request was so insignificant, where was Li Su willing to refuse her.

Therefore, Li Su couldn't help but say to Wu Meiniang: "Okay, since you like it, then let's stay here for one night." ”

Fortunately, Li Yuanfang and the others didn't just bring a tent.

When Li Yuanfang heard that he was going to sleep in the wilderness, he immediately ordered his Huya special combat team soldiers to set up tents around and surround the tent of the king of Shu in the middle.

In the evening, Li Su exchanged for a bottle of anti-mosquito spray and sprayed it next to each other in several tents.

At night, lying on the temporary bed spread on the grass, although the bed board is hard and lying on the diaphragm, Wu Meiniang is still very satisfied and very happy.

But Wu Meiniang only missed one point, that is, the night in the wild is very cold.

At night, Wu Meiniang was shivering from the cold, and could only get into Li Su's arms.

Then rely on Li Su's body temperature to warm up like this.

Early the next morning, Wu Meiniang woke up from Li Su's arms.

After getting up, Wu Meiniang only felt sore, but the whole person was very happy.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Li Su smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you yesterday?" In the future, don't say thank you. ”

……

After Wu Meiniang's birthday, a few days later, Shangguan Tingzhi's wife actually gave birth to a daughter for him.

This made Li Su stunned.

I'll you, how old is this little guy?

The parents who only became friends last year, were all children born so soon?

Shangguan Yi is the most important right-hand man of Li Su's subordinates, and his granddaughter was born, so Li Su naturally came to congratulate him.

After saying goodbye, Li Su also sent out a beautiful jade bracelet.

Shangguan Tingzhi, on the other hand, asked Li Su to give his daughter a name.

Begging for the elders or Shangguan to give them a name is also a custom in the Tang Dynasty.

After being asked for a name, Li Su couldn't help but say: "I see that she is gentle and amiable, so it is better to call Shangguan Wan'er!" ”

Hearing this name, Shangguan Tingzhi couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the name." ”

And Shangguan Wan'er, who had just been born, bit her fingers in her mouth when she heard this name, and the corners of her mouth were open, as if she was smiling.

This can't help but amaze everyone.

This is Shangguan Wan'er?

Well, it seems that he was born many years earlier than in the original historical trajectory.

Something is quietly changing.

But there are still some things that are still happening step by step.

At this time, news came out from the Chang'an Palace that Empress Changsun was critically ill, and it was estimated that it would be a few days away.

Well, according to the original historical trajectory, Empress Changsun died of illness this year.

And the death of Empress Changsun was also the beginning of the crown prince Li Chengqian's madness.

At the beginning of this year, Datang is about to enter an eventful autumn.

Li Su began to arrange the affairs of Yizhou.

I'm afraid that in a few days, he will go to Chang'an.

At this time, Empress Eldest Sun's spirit was deteriorating day by day, and she herself had a premonition that death was beckoning to her.

And in her heart, there are still many things that she can't rest assured.
