There used to be a scholar in a certain place in Sichuan. He was from a poor family since childhood, but he worked hard and made progress. One day, he was sitting at his own house. Suddenly an old man came in to ask him for water. After drinking the water, the old man chatted with the scholar and learned that his husband had a daughter who was very beautiful at the age of 16. The two of them were very versatile. Before leaving, the old man said that I saw that you were destined to be with me, and I would betrothed my daughter to you.
school said, "My family is very poor and I can't marry a wife. Your daughter will just endure hardships when she gets married."
The old man said, "Don't worry about money, I'll solve it for you. You just need to prepare to marry a wife at home."
school was surprised and happy. After waiting for a few days in anxiety, finally one day a girl in gorgeous clothes came in a carriage. The girl looked pretty and hooked the scholar's soul away as soon as she met. In addition, the girl also brought more than a dozen boxes of jewelry as a dowry, and even brought all tables, basins and other daily necessities. Then the two completed the wedding under the presidency of the old man.
After the guests left in the evening, the scholar was about to go to the bridal chamber. The girl stopped him and said, "I have never had a common son-in-law in my family. You need to take the imperial examination and get fame and fortune, so that you and I can become a real couple."
The scholar was anxious. He could see such a beautiful wife when he got married, but he couldn't eat it. Can he be content in his heart? He hurriedly asked, "It's still a long time before imperial examination and . Do you really have to wait until that time? And I can't guarantee that you will pass the exam in one go."
The girl replied, "It's not the case. Just write an article for me to show you, and I will know if you can pass the exam, and then decide whether to become a real couple with you. You don't have to wait any longer."
The scholar was very happy when he heard this, and quickly wrote an article for the girl to show it with the knowledge he had learned throughout his life.
The girl read his article for a long time and said, "Do you know Yuan Mei ?"
swordsman said he knew him.
"Yuan Mei's literary style is magnificent and suitable for imitation. It is very useful for you to get fame and fortune in the future, but Yuan Mei has extremely high talent and your level cannot imitate him." The girl took a pen and changed the article a few places, saying, "Is it more like Yuan Mei's works after I edited it?"
The scholar agreed.
"If you write articles in the future, you will discuss them with me before writing. You can't write them casually anymore."
Since then, the scholar has been writing more and more diligent, and later he went to the imperial examination and was indeed admitted. And the girl has always been with him, taking care of her parents for the scholar and dealing with things in the back home, just like every ordinary woman, but no one has ever known that she was originally a white fox.
I feel that this author thinks too beautifully. Generally speaking, scholars and fairies are all about scholars and fairies. Although scholars are poor, they are still talented. They don’t even have talent and have to rely on girls to tutor them to pass the exam. A girl who can transform into a human form must have a good cultivation level. What kind of person can’t be chosen? She must fall in love with a scholar who has nothing to do?
