At the beginning, Qin Shi Huang traveled to my home

Chapter 689 Liu Rushi's Journey of Love

"This name is indeed very suitable," Zhuo Wenjun nodded in agreement.

Liu Rushi smiled and said, "Although I don't know where this name came from, I know now that it was because I saw the sky curtain. When I heard this name, I felt that it belonged to me. When you said that, I knew that it was me, so I changed my name to Liu Rushi."

Hearing Liu Rushi say this, Li Wu could understand. Sometimes, this inexplicable feeling was so strong that it could not be described in words.

“Senior Liu Rushi, you are also called Lord Hedong.

You were born into a poor family. Because of your poor family background, your parents sold you, Senior Liu Rushi, to a brothel.

You were also trained to be a singing girl, and from then on changed your name to Liu Yin.

Since Senior Liu Rushi was smart and beautiful, she was personally trained by Xu Fo, a famous prostitute from Jiaxing.

Xu Fo was good at playing the zither, writing poetry, and painting orchids. He was very famous in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas.

Senior Liu Rushi, you followed her and learned a lot. After a few years, you grew into a peerless beauty who was good at singing and painting.

When you, Senior Liu Rushi, were 14 years old, you were noticed by Zhou Daodeng, a senior official of the previous dynasty.

She married into Zhou's house and became Zhou Daodeng's concubine.

Zhou Daodeng's identity was also extraordinary. He was a descendant of Zhou Dunyi, the founder of Neo-Confucianism, and was also a Jinshi.

Zhou Daodeng is very fond of you, Senior Liu Rushi, and often teaches you poetry and songs.

This often made the other wives and concubines jealous.

Not long after, Zhou Daodeng died. After his death, Senior Liu Rushi was kicked out by your other wives and concubines.

Senior Liu Rushi, you really have a rough fate. In that cannibalistic era, women had the hardest time. "During the Chongzhen period, it was really not easy.

Various natural disasters occurred one after another, and many people starved to death. Cannibalism even occurred.

Women had an even harder time; they either had to marry and become concubines, or become prostitutes.

Liu Rushi smiled and said, "In fact, those hard days are over. Now, thanks to you, little immortal, I am living a very good life." More than just a good life, it can be said that it is a world of difference compared to before.

When she was a singing girl, although she was popular, those people behaved frivolously, spoke rudely, and always wanted to touch her.

But now it’s different. They don’t dare to say those words casually, and there is a hint of awe in their eyes.

Someone appeared in the barrage and talked about Liu Rushi's identity. They originally thought who the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai were, but it turned out that she was a prostitute. How could such a lowly thing be presentable?

The other seven beauties were dissatisfied and angrily criticized them in the barrage, saying that they were selling their art but not their bodies, and Liu Rushi did a better job than those who were afraid of death.

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty also came out to speak for Liu Rushi. The emperors of other dynasties were also angry. Those old men, even if they were emperors, were also criticized.

After many people's defense and the Ming Emperor's Nine Clans Elimination Game warning, the old men finally dared not say anything, and many of them even fainted from anger.

Sky

Fortunately, Li Wu did not notice these. The main reason was that she could not pay attention to the barrage of comments all the time. Generally, when receiving traders, Li Wu would hardly look at the barrage of comments.

"That's good, that's good, as long as you are doing well, Senior Liu Rushi.

With nowhere to go, Senior Liu Rushi was forced to return to the brothel.

He changed his old name and called himself Yinglian to express his self-pity for living in this corrupt world.

Senior Liu Rushi, you are a man of outstanding talent, famous in Qinhuai for your poetry, calligraphy and poetry, and ranked first among the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai.

Senior Liu Rushi, you often disguised yourself as a man to attend literary gatherings and discuss the world situation with the talented men from the south of the Yangtze River.

When they are in high spirits, they will sing poetry together.

Many talented men admire your talent and want to propose to you, Senior Liu Rushi.

But you have very high standards and are not willing to marry just anyone.

At a literary society gathering, Senior Liu Rushi met Chen Zilong, the leader of the Jiangnan region's literary world.

Chen Zilong was an upright person with a profound literary background, and he also actively participated in the anti-Qing struggle.

So you two were in tune with each other, lived in the South Tower of Songshan for a long time, composed poems and sang in harmony with each other, and it was like a man in love and a woman in love.

But the good times didn't last long. Chen Zilong's original wife, Zhang, brought people to the South Tower, and you two were forced to fight back because of the Chen family's opposition.

Senior Liu Rushi, you could not bear the humiliation and left sadly and resolutely.

Despite this, Chen Zilong still does not give up on Senior Liu Rushi.

In 1638 AD, Chen Zilong unfortunately died in the anti-Qing uprising.

Senior Liu Rushi, you are also extremely sad. How can you not be sad when you have such a relationship?"

Liu Rushi's eyes were red. She truly loved Chen Zilong and she was the one who took the initiative to pursue him, but in the end, they were not destined to be together.

When Xi Shi and Zhuo Wenjun heard this, they also felt sorry for Liu Rushi.

It seems that Liu Rushi's descendants did not have a good life in the past. Although they were popular, they were just singing girls after all. Those people admired them, but few of them were really interested in them. They just treated them like playthings.

"It was also in this year that Senior Liu Rushi met Qian Qianyi, the top scholar in the imperial examination. Qian Qianyi was extremely talented and was known as one of the 'Three Great Masters of Jiangzuo'.

In the 14th year of Chongzhen, you, senior Liu Rushi, wore men's clothes and visited Qian Qianyi. You were impressed by Qian Qianyi's talent, and so was Qian Qianyi.

So you two fall in love with each other and feel that you met too late.

Qian Qianyi married you, Senior Liu Rushi, in a sedan chair carried by eight people, despite people's opposition. You were also willing to marry this man who was over fifty years old and more than thirty years older than you.

I have to say, Senior Liu Rushi, you have a bad vision," Li Wu looked at Liu Rushi with difficulty, his vision was really bad.

What's so good about Qian Qianyi? She found that Liu Rushi liked talented people and didn't care about appearance or family background at all.

"Liu Rushi, you should also think about yourself and stop thinking about love affairs," Zhuo Wenjun said with a smile. She liked Sima Xiangru. After all, Sima Xiangru was handsome and only four years older than her.

Xi Shi was silent. She said nothing. All her life, her fate was in the hands of others and she had never had any say in it.

The old ancestors in front of the sky curtain remained silent. What could they say? They just wanted to do it. But the little immortal was right. This young lady Liu Rushi had very poor vision.

Qian Qianyi himself was so angry that he vomited blood. What was wrong with him? He was already the third place in the imperial examination at the age of 28.

Although he is indeed a little older than Liu Rushi, what is his status and what is Liu Rushi's status? The fact that he can marry her in a sedan chair carried by eight people shows that he respects her!

Later, Qian Qianyi was so angry that he vomited blood. The little immortal had gone too far!

"Senior Zhuo Wenjun, you are right. Now I just want to work hard for the emperor and the Ming Dynasty. I won't think about those things anymore," Liu Rushi said proudly. She was always concerned about the country and the people. Now she could make money for the Ming Dynasty, and she was very willing to do so. She wanted to earn more money and help more people!!!
