Liu Xiu looked at the page Ah Li had just turned to and read softly: "Clouds remind me of her clothes, flowers of her face; the spring breeze caresses the balustrade, the dew is heavy. If not seen on the Jade Mountain, she will be met under the moon on the Jade Terrace."
After reading it, Liu Xiu's eyes flashed with amazement. He turned to Ah Li and said, "The beauty of this poem is intoxicating. I wonder what you think, young master?"
Ali raised her head, smiled gently, and said, "This poem depicts the beauty of the world and also implies the depth of emotions. The clouds, flowers, spring breeze, and dew in the poem are all gifts from nature, while clothes and faces are human adornments. The poet uses these elements to outline a beautiful picture, making people feel as if they are in it."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiu's admiration for Ali deepened. He nodded in agreement: "What you say is absolutely right, young master. The beauty of this poem lies not only in its words, but also in the emotions and artistic conception it expresses. It is a rare and excellent poem."

"It seems that you all have quite a good understanding of poetry."
"Not at all, we are just uncultured people, how could we understand poetry? We were just fortunate enough to hear Miss Shishi's poems, which broadened our horizons."
At this moment, two people entered the bookstore, followed by a servant and a maid.
Xu Yi followed Shishi and said, "Shishi's poetry collection has been released again. I wonder if I can buy a copy this time?"
Upon hearing this, Shishi smiled slightly, "The essence of poetry lies in one's state of mind. Although Young Master Xu is not skilled in this art, your state of mind is very pure, which is a rare quality. I will give you a copy directly later."
