Lu Chong is a native of Fanyang County, and there is a tomb of Cui Shaofu thirty miles west of his house. When Lu Chong was twenty years old, on the day of the winter solstice, he went hunting near the cemetery, and when he came across a roe deer, he raised his bow and shot it. The roe deer fell to the ground but suddenly jumped up again, and Lu Chong chased after him and unknowingly chased it far away. Suddenly, I saw a high-gate mansion in the north of the road, and the courtyard of the house was very magnificent, like an official eunuch's house.
Lu Chong didn't see a doorman in the Zhangzi Gate come out and call Lu Chong in. Lu Chong asked"Whose house is this? "The doorkeeper replied:"It is the house of Shaofu"Lu Chong asked"How can I see Shaofu in tattered clothes? "The doorman said that Shaofu knew that you were coming, so he specially asked us to prepare a new dress for you. Then the doorkeeper handed him a bright garment.
Lu Chong changed his clothes and walked into the mansion to meet Shaofu, who appreciated his elegant demeanor and set up a banquet to entertain him. After drinking a few glasses of wine, Shaofu said to Lu Chong: Your father knew that I intended to marry you, so he promised you to me. Now that you are my son-in-law, I called my daughter out to meet you. Cui's daughter dressed up neatly and came out to meet her father, and when she saw Lu Chong, she lowered her head and didn't speak. Shaofu said:"Say hello to your son-in-law! "Cui's daughter went to the incense case and saluted Lu Chong.
Then Shaofu gave his daughter's dowry items to Lu Chong and said to him: You must find a time to marry my daughter when you get home. My daughter is showing signs of pregnancy, and if she gives birth to a boy, I will give her back to you; If you give birth to a girl, you will stay in my house and raise it. After speaking, he asked someone to prepare a carriage and horse to send Lu Chong home. When parting, Cui's daughter burst into tears and cried very sadly, and Lu Chong also said goodbye to her father-in-law with tears in her eyes and left.
When he arrived at home, his father asked him why he suddenly became Cui Shaofu's son-in-law, and Lu Chong told his father what had happened. When my father heard this, he said:"What a strange thing like this! "On the third day of March of the fourth year, Lu Chong went to bathe in the nearby river, and suddenly saw an ox cart parked by the river, which sank into the water for a while and then floated up again, and stopped after the cart came to his side. The man in Tsing Yi who was driving the car saluted him and said:"You'll come home tomorrow morning"Lu Chong agreed, and the man in Tsing Yi drove away and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
The next morning, Lu Chong came to the house and asked his family who the man in Tsing Yi was? The family replied"That's the green cow in the carport on the east wall of my house"。Lu Chong suddenly realized. On the third day of March of another three years, Lu Chong went to bathe in the river again, and he saw the ox cart coming again, and there was a woman in red and green clothes beside him. The woman got out of the car and met Lu Chong, took his hand and said"You've always missed you, and now I'm finally here for the appointment", so he followed Lu Chong home to get married.
Later, Cui's gave birth to a boy, and Lu Chong left her at home to raise the child because his wife was a ghost, and he didn't dare to sleep with her. After a short time, Cui Shi said goodbye to Lu Chong: I am the daughter of Shaofu and have been dead for several years, and now my grave suddenly has aura, and I have become the spirit of a cricket, and I have become the spirit of a cricket, and I have become a green cow spirit in your eyes. Because we have the love of husband and wife, we came to meet you, and now that we are separated, Cui's is gone.
