Chapter 165: Liu Rushi
Chapter 165 Liu Rushi
"Zhuge, the girl? Who is it?"
Wang Pu asked, but his eyes couldn't help but look back over Chen Yuanyuan. The curtain of the carriage behind him was lifted up at this time. A beautiful man with a high mane and a graceful figure walked down from the carriage. Wang Pu's eyes fell on the face of the beautiful mane and said in surprise, "Miss Liu?"
Luchang Liren is Chen Yuanyuan’s Fengchen sister Liu Yin, also known as Liu Rushi.
Liu Rushi took the Luo skirt forward and bowed to Wang Pu Qianqian, saying, "Little woman Liu Yin pays homage to the general."
"Miss Liu is not a gift." Wang Pu reached out and hid his hand, then turned around and said, "Please, please, Miss Liu are in there."
Because Liu Rushi was a female family member and a good sister of Wang Pu's wife Chen Yuanyuan, Wang Pu directly invited her into the rear yard of the Admiral Headquarters. Because the entire Admiral Headquarters had not been built yet, the rear yard for Wang Pu's private living was only built with a few simple bamboo sheds, which could barely cover the wind and rain.
"Miss Liu, please sit down."
Wang Pusu asked Liu Rushi to take his seat, turned around and looked at Chen Yuanyuan with affectionate expression, and said softly, "Madam, you must be tired after rushing so far, right?"
Chen Yuanyuan smiled charmingly and shook her head and said, "I am not tired."
The young lady gave Liu Rushi, Wang Pu and Chen Yuanyuan a cup of fragrant tea each, and then said to Chen Yuanyuan: "Madam, let the little maid come and hug the little master?"
Chen Yuanyuan suddenly yelled and shouted, "Oh, the child has peed again."
The young lady smiled sweetly and said, "Madam, I'll pour hot water into the basin of the basin."
"No need." Chen Yuanyuan said, "I'll go with you."
Wang Pu looked at Chen Yuanyuan and the master and servant of the young lady and walked straight away. He couldn't help but stretch out his hand and said in surprise: "Hey, this..."
What did she say? Chen Yuanyuan actually left Wang Pu and Liu Rushi and left straight. What is she going to do?
Will you give Wang Pu a chance to be alone with Liu Rushi?
Seeing Wang Pu's surprise look, Liu Rushi couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckled, but soon stopped her smile and whispered: "General is such a blessing. He married a virtuous supporter like Yuanyuan."
"That's it." Wang Pu scratched his head and smiled silly. "I don't know how many wooden fish were broken in my previous life and how many scriptures I turned into to cultivate this blessing, hehe."
Liu Rushi corrected his face and suddenly asked, "General, Liu Yin took the initiative to ask, what do you think of the current situation today?"
As mentioned earlier, Liu Rushi is very different from other famous Qinhuai socialites.
Is Liu Rushi the most beautiful among the eight beauties of Qinhuai, nor the one with the best figure, nor the one with the best talent.
But one thing is certain, Liu Rushi is definitely the most talented and ambitious among the eight beautiful women. She is also the most complex in her life. She can be said to be omniscient in all religions and omniscient geography. Because of her special identity, she can frequently contact the scholar-official class in Jiangnan, so she is also well aware of the general trend of the world.
Wang Pu couldn't help but look at Liu Rushi for a few more times.
Liu Rushi's words were not just presumptuous, they were a little abrupt. The two of them had only met for the second time in total, and there was no formal talk at all. It was naturally a bit "slight talk" when they suddenly mentioned such a deep topic.
To be honest, Wang Pu's understanding of Liu Rushi is completely at the level of "Eight Beauties of Qinhuai", that is to say, in Wang Pu's subconscious, Liu Rushi is only a versatile "vase". He never thought that Liu Rushi would have any opinions on the current trend, nor did he think that Liu Rushi would put forward any unique and exquisite insights.
Chen Yuanyuan just said to him that Liu Rushi was Zhuge, the girl, and Wang Pu just regarded it as a joke between the couple.
Wang Pu called out and asked without answering, "Can you hear Miss Liu's opinion first?"
Liu Rushi's eyebrows gently raised up and asked, "Does the general disdain to talk to the little woman about the general trend of the world?"
Any talented person has a high opinion of himself and is very sensitive. If they feel that they are despised by others, they will often develop a rebellious mentality. In anger, they may turn away or even turn against each other. During the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Song originally wanted to dedicate Xichuan to Cao Cao. As a result, because of Cao Cao's despised Xichuan to Cao Cao's mortal enemy Liu Bei.
"It's absolutely not the point." Wang Pu quickly shook his hand and smiled, "I am asking Miss Liu sincerely."
Wang Pu said he sincerely asked for advice, but his hippie face could be considered a sincere attitude?
"Okay." Liu Rushi sighed softly in his heart and said, "The little woman will give some opinions on the current trend today, just treat it as throwing bricks and attracting jade."
Wang Pu bowed and said, "Please give me advice from Miss Liu."
Liu Rushi said: "Today's general trend can be summarized in three sentences. Jiannu is eyeing him outside the pass, the thief has become a climate in the Central Plains, and the Ming Dynasty has become difficult to return."
Wang Pu was shocked when he heard this. His contempt for Liu Rushi disappeared in an instant, and he asked seriously: "So how should the Ming Dynasty respond to the views of Miss Liu?"
Liu Rushi said: "If the Ming Dynasty wants to turn the tide, it is only a hero who cuts his arm and retreats to half of the south of the Yangtze River, and works hard to govern and then restores the Central Plains."
"good!"
Wang Pu couldn't help but sigh, Liu Rushi's view was exactly the same as his thoughts.
Although Zhen Youcai, who was the left arm and right arm of Wang Puyi, was resourceful and cunning, he could not see the general trend of the world. He did not expect that Liu Rushi, a woman, could have such an opinion.
Wang Pu continued, "Can you ask Miss Liu, how to work hard after retreating to Jiangnan?"
Liu Rushi replied without thinking: "Use iron fist to rectify the administration, clear the land, and implement the one-whip method of levying silver according to mu."
Wang Pu was a little respectful to Liu Rushi. A woman, and a woman of fairy tale, could have such incisive political views. This alone would be far superior to most of the most bearded men in the world. No wonder Chen Yuanyuan called her Zhuge, a girl.
"Oh." Wang Pu sighed and said, "I wish Zhou Yanru, the current chief minister, could hear Miss Liu's words."
"Why do you need Master Zhou to hear it?" Liu Rushi said with a point of view, "It's enough for you to hear it with a general."
Wang Pu pretended to be stupid and said, "What does Miss Liu mean?"
"Why should the general pretend to be confused when he understands it?" A trace of cunning flashed through Liu Rushi's beautiful eyes and said with a smile, "Can you explain to the little girl why you have to come to Jiangnan from Datong thousands of miles away? Isn't it to turn the tide?"
"Cough." Wang Pu said with all his words, "This..."
"General." Liu Rushi said with great sincerity. "The little woman has brought you a few books, hoping that it will be helpful to you."
"Oh?" Wang Pu Xinran asked, "I don't know what book it is?"
Liu Rushi said, "The book is in the little girl's carriage, and the general sent someone to pick it up."
Wang Pu urgently ordered Lu Liu to go and pick up the book, but Lu Liu quickly entered the back yamen with a bag and put it on the table.
Liu Rushi untied his burden and took out a book from it, and said to Wang Pu: "This is Song Yingxing's "The Creation of Things in Heaven."
"Song Yingxing, the earth and the heavenly craftsmanship to create things?"
Wang Pu was overjoyed when he heard this. This was a famous book. He searched in Datong for a long time but couldn't find it. He bought it at a high cost but failed to get it. This book records a lot of knowledge about machinery, textiles, papermaking, weapons, gunpowder, sulfur, ceramics, dyeing, salt making, oil pressing, and the cultivation of various agricultural grains. It can be called a treasure house of knowledge.
"Miss Liu, is Song Yingxing still alive?"
"Of course he is still alive." Liu Rushi said. "Mr. Liu is serving as a teacher in Fenyi County, Jiangxi Province."
"That's great." Wang Pu said excitedly, "This is really great."
Liu Rushi took out the second thread-bound book from the bag and said to Wang Pu: "General, this is Fang Yizhi's "A Little Knowledge of Physics."
"Fang Yizhi?" Wang Pu said more and more happily. "Miss Liu knows Fang Yizhi?"
Liu Rushi nodded and said, "I have had a chance to meet several times and have learned about physics."
Wang Pu said anxiously: "Does Miss Liu know where Fang Yizhi is now?"
Liu Rushi said: "Mr. Fang is a reviewer of the Hanlin Academy, but now he is in his hometown in Tongcheng. "
"Okay." Wang Puxi couldn't help but say, "It's another one."
Liu Rushi couldn't help asking, "General, what's the other one?"
"Ah? It's nothing." Wang Pu smiled, "Miss Liu will introduce your books."
Liu Rushi shook his head, took out the third book and said, "This is Mao Yuanyidi's "Wu Bei Zhi", which includes military evidence reviews, strategic examinations, formation training, military capital and occupation. Among them, military capital and military capital are fifty-five volumes, which include various offensive and defensive equipment, chariots, and ships, which should be useful to the general."
"Is that true?" Wang Pu took over the "Wu Beizhi" from Liu Rushi and asked, "Is the Qibao Eunuch's Land Treasure Ship included?"
Liu Rushi said: "Of course, there is, the book records the detailed structure and manufacturing process of the treasure ship, and there are many detailed illustrations."
"God," Wang Pu said overjoyed, "Miss Liu. You have helped me a lot."
Liu Rushi took out the four remaining books in the bag together. He introduced: "There are also Zhao Shizhen's "Artifact Collection", Xu Guangqi's "Complete Book of Agricultural Affairs", "Geometric Originals" and "Taixi Water Method". These books should be helpful to the general. In addition to these, there are medical books called "Compendium of Materia Medica". Unfortunately, the little girl visited major bookstores in Jiangnan but couldn't find them."
"Miss Liu." Wang Pu looked at Liu Rushi and rubbed his hands repeatedly, "I don't know how to thank you."
"Who told General, you are the husband of Yuanyuan's sister?" Liu Rushi smiled faintly and continued, "Okay, now everything you should say has been said. The few good books that the little girl thought were useful have been dedicated to the general. It's getting late, and the little girl has to hurry to go, so she said goodbye."
"Uh..." Wang Pu said in surprise, "Miss Liu is leaving?"
"The little woman is a fairy woman." Liu Rushi said calmly, "If you stay in the camp overnight, you may be the name of a general who is a dirty name?"
"Nothing." Wang Pu hurriedly said, "I don't care about any bullshit reputation at all."
Liu Rushi smiled faintly and said, "The little woman is only good at sex and entertainment. Could it be that the general wants to leave the little woman to make a night's happiness?"
"Uh." Wang Pu was speechless, "This..."
Liu Rushi bowed to Wang Pu Qianqian and said, "The little woman bid farewell to the general."
Wang Puliu was neither, nor Buliu, so he had to look at Liu Rushi foolishly and turn away. Only then did he realize that his attitude and tone had hurt this arrogant and arrogant woman. Even if Wang Pu wanted to keep her, Liu Rushi might not be willing to stay.
Chen Yuanyuan's figure suddenly appeared at the door, blocking Liu Rushi's way, and said anxiously: "Sister Rushi, you can't leave. You promised to help my boyfriend."
"Mistress Yuanyuan." Liu Rushi gently grabbed Chen Yuanyuan's little hand and said softly, "It's not that my sister doesn't want to help your husband, but that's all the things that my sister can do. These books are all the strange books that my sister has been searching for for a long time. I believe they can help a lot. Okay, my sister has to leave. What do you have to say to Nuanxiang Pavilion tomorrow? OK?"
"Sister." Chen Yuanyuan pursed her lips and asked aggrievedly, "Do you have to leave?"
