During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty , there was a judge in Fenzhou Prefecture, Shanxi Province, named Zhu Mingwen.
It is said that foxes often appear in the court where Zhu Wen is located.
On this night, Zhu Wenzheng was often at his desk handling official documents, and there was a woman walking back and forth under the lamp.
At first, Zhu Wen thought it was the maids checking the oil lamps back and forth, but didn't pay much attention.
When he accidentally looked up, he found that the woman had never been seen before, and she was so beautiful that she had never been more beautiful than any other maid.
Looking carefully, the woman is charming, Zhu Wen thought to herself, could it be a vixen?
couldn't help shouting loudly: "Are you Kazuto? How dare you disturb my court?"
The woman stopped and laughed: "Sternly scolding me? Do you think I am your maid?"
Zhu Wen said calmly: " Visiting late at night is either a thief or a strange thing. Foxes are everywhere in this area. Are you a vixen in this area?"
The woman did not deny it, but sat down in front of Zhu Wen.
The two of them came and went, first questioning each other, and then talking happily.
After being together for a while, Fox Girl and Zhu Wen became in love with each other and got along like a couple.
One day, the fox girl suddenly said to Zhu Wen: "You are about to be promoted."
Zhu Wen asked: "When?"
replied: "Not long ago. But when you are promoted, there will be something in your family." When a funeral comes, you can't go and take office."
Three days later, the news of promotion came.
The next day, the obituary news came again.
Zhu Wen was busy temporarily retiring from his official position and wanted to take Fox Girl home with him for the funeral.
The fox girl didn't want to go with her, so she sent Zhu Wen to the river. Zhu Wen also wanted to drag the fox girl into the boat with him.
The fox girl refused and said, "We, the fox tribe, cannot cross the river."
Zhu Wen couldn't bear to leave like this, so he reluctantly stayed.
The fox girl said that she wanted to visit an old friend first. She had already made an appointment and had to go. She came back not long after she went.
Not long after, some customers also said they were going back and forth to pay homage to the fox girl. The fox girl chatted with the guests alone for a while.
After the guests left, the fox girl said to Zhu Wen: "Let's get on the boat now, and I will take you across the river."
Zhu Wen was confused: "Didn't you say that your fox tribe can't cross the river? How come you can cross it again today?"
The fox girl said frankly: "The old friend I visited before was none other than the River God. I told the River God about you and me, and he promised to give me ten days to cross the river. The person who just came to visit was the one sent by the River God to answer. Messenger. "
Zhu Wen and the fox girl crossed together that day. On the tenth day, the fox girl and Zhu Wen separated.
