At midday, the sun was warm and sunny on the ground and it also fell on the corridor. Liu Shi looked up secretly and found that the thread on the sleeve had cracked. The clothes were bought by Qi Yuanxue for her.

“Time passes too slowly and grows too little.”

Liu Shian thought about this and suddenly felt that he was moving too slowly.

"Don't worry, take your time. This is not modern, nor Huzhou. All I can rely on is myself. Everything needs to be done step by step. I don't believe in reaching the sky in one step. I only believe that heaven rewards hard work, and water accumulates through stones."

Liu Shi thought to himself that he was walking towards the inner courtyard of An Mansion, and he wanted to find An Yue. He also needed the key to go to the ghost house tonight.

An Yue was reading a book in front of a pavilion.

Liu Shi secretly informed, and Lin Lan walked out and took Liu Shi secretly to Tingluo.

To the east of the Pavilion is Mengyun Lake in Anfu. Liu Shi secretly saw the scenery on the lake and walked slowly to the pavilion. He knew that Mengyun Lake here made Anfu one of the most prosperous houses in Dongzhou. There are few families in the Dongzhou tribe, and there are such a big lake in the mansion, as if it was a royal garden.

This is enough to show that Anjia’s family business is so great and its power is so wide. From the list of invitations to the upcoming spring flower viewing banquet, there are all famous families and high-ranking officials, which also shows how powerful Anfu is.

Mr. Liu came to the pavilion and said, "I have met Miss An."

An Yue put down the books in her hand and said, "Young Master Liu, I changed my words today. I used to call Fairy An."

Liu Shi smiled secretly and said, "If I like it, I don't mind. Today is a good time, and you have the leisure to watch the lake and enjoy the scenery here."

An Yue smiled and said, "Please sit down for Mr. Liu."

Liu Shinan then sat down on the stone bench on one side, with a thin cotton pad on the stone bench to prevent the stone bench from getting too cold.

The dreamy cloud lake in front of me is sparkling. Under the sunlight, the spring breeze blows, and there is a kind of scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, which is so pleasant. Liu Shinan then took back his eyes and saw the book on the stone table, which is nothing more than a book called "The Analects of Confucius".

An Yue said again: "I am just helping with the spring flower banquet. My father has arranged many things. Today, I saw that the weather is right and I haven't studied for a long time, so I came here to study. My family is also a scholarly family, so I don't reject women's reading."

Liu Shi said secretly: "The book "The Analects of Confucius" is indeed very good for self-cultivation, but it is difficult to understand when reading it. If there is no annotation, it is even more difficult to get into. The imperial examinations are particularly important for the classics of various scholars, and scholars are also read more; but there are fewer women."

An Yue smiled and said, "I don't like those books in my family if I read too much. It's better to read the books of sages. Mr. Liu likes to read some books."

Liu Shi secretly replied: "It's almost half a year since I've been studying. Before I was exiled, I like to read some classics, but I also like to read some strange things about ghosts and monsters."

An Yue remembered the ghost story she told that night and hummed Liu Shi again.

Liu Shi smiled secretly and then asked, "I used to listen to a story, which was also a story about a handsome man and a talented woman. However, the story in the book is particularly desolate and a tragedy. I just don't know if Miss An likes to listen to it?"

An Yue said: "It's not a ghost story."

Liu Shi secretly replied: "No, it's a story about a fairy grass repaying kindness with tears."

An Yue was interested and asked, "Let me tell me."

Liu Shi said secretly: "The story is particularly long. Let me start by telling the story, which is about Nuwa once left a stone behind, this stone..."

Liu Shi secretly briefly summarized the story in "Dream of Red Mansions". Before traveling through time, he especially liked to read the four masterpieces, among which "Stone Story" is also the story of "Dream of Red Mansions". He loved it the most. He thought about the story in the book, and the lady naturally liked it, so he chose to talk about it.

I also said the beginning, but I couldn't remember the general poems and songs, but I knew the context of the story.

After half an hour, Liu Shian just talked about Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu meeting each other, but the wind blew, and Liu Shian stopped.

An Yue and Ling Lan were fascinated by the side. Liu Shinan suddenly interrupted. An Yue asked, "Young Master Liu, why don't you say anything?"

Liu Shi said secretly: "Time flies a little faster, and I am afraid of disturbing the fairy An's nap."

When An Yue heard Liu Shian's words, she remembered that when it was time for the afternoon sleep, she also said: "Young Master Liu has been bothering. I especially like the story you said. Can you tell me the story next time? It really seems to touch my heart. When you meet such a beautiful young man, I don't know what kind of story there will be later."

Baoyu fell jade behind him, which made Daiyu cry. Alas.

Liu Shi secretly replied: "It must."

An Yue said, "Xiao Linglan, please clean up and let's go back to the house."

Liu Shian and An Yue walked in front, and Ling Lan kept up as he packed up.

An Yue asked, "Young Master Liu came to this pavilion and never asked what the Tao is doing?"

Liu Shi smiled secretly: "Nothing for anything else, it's just for the affairs of the ghost house."

"It's true," An Yue also guessed something and said, "Are you going to that haunted house again?"

The maid Ling Lan listened to Liu Shian's words and walked to An Yue. Ling Lan and An Yue grew up and served An Yue, and An Yue also regarded her as a sister. The people in the An Mansion also particularly liked this maid, so Ling Lan and An Yue were no different, and they were also standing side by side with An Yue.

Ling Lan said, "Young Master Liu, if you still want to take the lady to that ghost house, I don't think you can do it anymore."

Mr. Liu listened and asked, "Why can't you?"

Ling Lan replied: "After the time when the master learned about the family banquet, the lady ran out secretly and went to the ghost house. She strictly prohibited the lady from going out and took back the key of the ghost house. Now only the master has the key of the courtyard in his hand."

Liu Shi secretly fell into deep thought.

An Yue also said, "This time, I can't satisfy Mr. Liu's spirit of adventure. That day, the servants all missed the words. My father also knew about Ling Lan and I fainted. He almost locked me in the house and thought about my mistakes. Fortunately, I needed to arrange a spring flower viewing party these days, so I didn't punish me."

Liu Shi secretly replied: "The hearts of parents are like this. There is nothing serious. Since the key is in the hands of the Lord An's Mansion, I will just go with the Lord An's Mansion."

After An Yue said this, Liu Shian still insisted on going to the ghost house, which made An Yue really confused and asked: "Why is Mr. Liu so persistent in this house? I'm a little puzzled?"

Ling Lan also cheered: "Young Master Liu may have some plans."

The three of them walked slowly towards the inner courtyard along the paved bluestone road.

Liu Shi smiled secretly and said, "There is no plan. But I practiced Taoism in my early years and couldn't stand these dirty things in the world. If I could kill demons and eliminate demons, it would be great. The An Mansion took me in and stayed for a few days, and I would be able to repay you."
