After dawn, the Hao family sent their maids and old ladies to deliver the dowry, and Mrs. Hao and Mrs. Tao actually became their son-in-law. In the evening, as soon as Tao Sheng and Qiurong walked into the bedroom, Xiao Xie started crying again. After six or seven nights like this, both husband and wife were made miserable by her crying, and they still could not accomplish anything good between them. Tao Sheng thought hard but couldn't come up with a good solution. Qiurong said: "That Taoist priest is an immortal! If you go and beg him again, maybe you can get his sympathy and help." Tao Sheng thought she was right, so he found the Taoist priest's residence, knelt on the ground and asked him for help. things. The Taoist priest tried his best to say that he had no choice. Tao Sheng begged endlessly. The Taoist priest smiled and said: "You nerd, you are really good at pestering people! It's fitting that I have a fate with you and am willing to use all my magic." So he followed Tao Sheng back home, asked for a beautiful house, closed the door and meditated, and He warned Tao Sheng not to talk to him. For more than ten days, he neither ate nor drank. Tao Sheng went to observe secretly and saw that he had his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.
One morning, as soon as Tao Sheng got up, a girl raised the curtain and walked in. The girl has bright eyes and white teeth, and is radiant. She smiled and said to Tao Sheng: "I have been running all night, and I am almost exhausted. I have been pestered by you endlessly, and I ran hundreds of miles away before I found a beautiful body. This Taoist priest brought me with him." When I see Xiao Xie later, I will give this body to her. "At dusk, Xiao Xie came, and the girl suddenly hugged her, and the two quickly became one and fell to the ground motionless. At this time, the Taoist priest walked out of the room, bowed his hands to Tao Sheng, and went straight away. Tao Sheng thanked him and sent him outside. When he returned, the girl had woken up. He helped her lie down on the bed, and her energy gradually recovered, but she still held her feet and kept moaning, saying that her legs and feet were sore and she would not be able to get up and walk for a few days.
Later, Tao Sheng took the exam and won the Jinshi. A man named Cai Zijing, who was a Jinshi in the same ranking as him, came to visit him for something and stayed for a few days. One day, when Xiao Xie came back from a neighbor's house, Cai Zijing saw her and hurriedly chased after her. Xiao Xie ducked away, feeling very angry at his frivolity. Cai Zijing told Tao Sheng: "Three years ago, my little sister died. Two nights later, the body was lost again. I still don't know what happened. I saw your wife just now. Why does she look so much like my sister?" "How can my wife be compared with your sister because she is ugly? However, since we are in the same class and have a deep friendship, why not let her come out to meet you?" So he walked into the inner room and asked Xiao Xie to put on the clothes when she was buried. Cai Zijing was greatly surprised and said, "She is really my sister!" and shed tears. Tao Sheng then told him what happened. Cai Zijing said happily: "My sister is not dead. I have to go back as soon as possible to comfort my parents." After that, he left. A few days later, everyone from the Cai family came. Later, the two families moved back and forth, just like the Hao family.
Yishi said: "It is not easy to get one peerless beauty, let alone two at once! This kind of thing only happens once in a thousand years, and the only way is to refuse to accept the elopement woman. Is the Taoist really an immortal? If there is such a magic, even ugly ghosts can be friends."
