Rumor has it that there are many foxes in the building. After reading Biography of the Green Phoenix, I yearned for it and hated it. Because I meditated upstairs and went back to Zhai, it was already late.

When it is hot in summer summer, I sleep at home. Some people shake it in their sleep, but when they wake up, they regard it as a woman, who is over forty years old and still has charm. Bi jumped up, asked whose it was, and smiled, I'm a fox. Meng Jun noticed this, but his heart was laughing and satisfied. ? When I heard it, I was happy and sarcastic. The woman smiled and said: My teeth are lengthened, so that people will not see evil and slowly fall into depression first. There are young girls and women who can provide towels and combs. Tomorrow night, no one's place. Coming right away. ? Words have passed away. Burning incense and waiting at night, women take their daughters with fruit. Gentle attitude, chinese odyssey. A woman means a woman:? Bilang has something to do with rewelding rewelding, that is, he must stay. Go home early tomorrow and don't sleep too much. ? Bi Nai shook hands and went into mourning. Things have laughed:? Fat lang is stupid and heavy, which makes people unbearable. ? I left before I knew it. Now that I'm here at night, I said, My sisters will go and find He Xinlang for me tomorrow. ? Q:? Where is it? Say: Elder sister is the host of the banquet, and it's not far away. ? Wait until the fruit is ripe. After a long time, my body is getting tired and lazy. Just sitting at the desk, the woman suddenly came in: Thank you for your long service. ? Is to shake hands. When you get to a place with a big yard, go straight to the nave, and you will see bright lights, flickering candlelight and stars. Suddenly the master came, nearly twenty years old, and the light makeup was beautiful. He said he had been congratulated and was going to practice his seat. The maid went in. Here comes the second lady. ? Seeing a woman go in, she can be eighteen or nineteen. She smiled and said to her, Sister has broken the melon. Is the groom quite satisfied? The woman hit her back with a fan and took a white look. Ernian said:? I remember when I was a child, my sister and I wrestled for a play. My sister was afraid that those men would threaten her bones, shaking her fingers and laughing. He angered me and said that I should marry the little prince of the country. I said that your servant will marry Dolan one day, and it really happened today. ? Aunt smiled and said:? No wonder Sannianzi is angry and scolding! The groom is on the side, jump straight! ? , hectares, and promote sitting, feast to laugh.

Suddenly a girl hugged a cat, twelve or thirteen years old. Young hair is not dry, but it is gorgeous and charming. Aunt said:? Fourth sister also wants to see her sister-in-law? There is no place to sit here. ? Take food and fruit bait, because you hold your knees. Moved, he put it in Ernian's arms and said: It hurts my calf and thigh! ? Second sister said:? Your servant is big and heavy, and I am fragile; I want to see my sister-in-law, so my sister-in-law is strong and her fat knees can sit well. ? That is to catch you and put your arms around you. When you hold it in your arms, it is soft and light. When Bi was holding a drink, Aunt said? Little maid, don't drink too much, or you will lose your manners, lest your sister-in-law laugh. ? The girl smiled diligently and made a cat with her hand. The cat suddenly sang a song. Aunt said:? Don't give up yet, take fleas and lice! ? Ernian said:? Please take the slave as an order, pass it on with chopsticks, and drink while singing. ? Everyone is taught. Finish singing; After drinking, even if I take a few sips, I know that my little daughter caught the bell and laughed loudly. Second sister said:? Little sister, have a rest! Kill Lang Jun, lest Third Sister complain. ? The little girl is holding the cat.

When Sister Bi Shan saw that she was drinking, she picked a bun and saved wine to persuade her. Seeing the steamed bun only makes you rise, but the feeling of drinking it is as much as several barrels. Look at it and you'll be fooled. Ernian also has to pay the other party, and she can't finish talking. I took a bite of a fat zygote in two years, which was bigger than a bullet. what do you think? I don't drink enough, just take it as a sign. ? When you can see it, you can suck it up in one breath, and you can inhale it in a hundred mouthfuls. There is no time to dry it. The girl walked by with a small lotus cup and an easy zygote and said, Don't be set up by traitors. ? In the joint case, it is a huge bowl. Ernian said:? What do you expect! Husband for three days, dear! ? Babi raised the cup to her mouth. Put it on, greasy and soft; Judging from it, it is not a cup, but a hook of socks, and the lining is absolutely perfect. Second, read the curse and say:? Stupid maid! When do you steal someone else's shoes? It's cold! ? When you get up, it is easy to enter the room.

The woman made an appointment to say goodbye, sent her out of the village, and let Bi go home. When I woke up, I saw the scene in my dream, but my nose and mouth were drunk and the alcohol was still strong, which was different. Twilight girl came, and she said: Didn't you die drunk last night? Bi Yan:? Fang Yi is a dream. ? Woman:? Sisters are afraid of your madness, so the dream entrusted to them is not a dream. ? Women fail every time they finish the game. The woman smiled and said: If you indulge in this, I will be tall. Now look, it's just flat. ? After asking for instructions, the female said:? How can I benefit you since the Enlightenment? It may be good to gradually dye it sooner or later. ? After living for several months, Bijue has made a little progress. The woman gave it a try and smiled. Not yet, not yet. ? After finishing, swimming with people who have tasted chess makes people feel different and a little curious.

Never put off till tomorrow what you can be frank and straightforward, and you can vent a little. Female knowledge, strange:? There is no doubt that fellow travelers are not crazy! I have told you many times, why didn't you tell me? Go at all costs. After Xie Bi, the woman was a little relieved, but it was a pity. Many years later, one night, sitting face to face. Play it, don't play; Sleep with it, not sleep. Disappointed for a long time, saying: What do you think of me as a green phoenix? Say: Almost passed. ? Say: I'm ashamed of myself. However, the serial was written with a gentleman, so please make a short biography, not necessarily a person who has not loved for thousands of years. ? Say: Have this ambition. Follow the old instructions, so keep it a secret ? Woman:? I told you to do it, and now I'm leaving, so why bother? Q:? Where are you going? Say: My concubine and fourth sister have been recruited as flower and bird messengers by the Queen Mother of the West, and they are no longer available. I have a sister-in-law, who is with your uncle and brother. After leaving, she gave birth to two daughters, but she is not dead yet; My concubine and your husband are very lucky, and there is nothing to worry about. ? After asking a question, he said:? I am too arrogant to be widowed. ? Then he got up and grabbed his hand and said, you can see me off. ? When I arrived at Xu Li, I broke up with tears and said, If you are interested in this service, you may not have a duration. ? Just go.

My friend Bi Yi 'an is excellent and bold. He is fat, has a lot of beards, and is famous among the Bachelor of Arts. Once he went to his uncle Biji's secretariat villa because of something and rested upstairs. It is said that there used to be many fox spirits in this building. Every time Bi You reads Biography of the Green Phoenix, there is always a yearning, hoping to meet once. So he's upstairs, thinking hard. Then go home, it's getting dark. It was sultry in summer, so he lay in front of the door and slept. I think someone shook him in his sleep. When I woke up, I turned out to be a woman in her forties, but her charm remained. Pew got up in surprise and asked who she was. The woman smiled and said, I am a fox spirit. Thank you very much for your heartfelt thoughts. ? Pew was very happy when she heard that, so she told her some jokes. The woman smiled and said, I am old. Even if people don't hate me, I will feel ashamed and depressed first. I have a daughter who has just grown up, and I can have her around to serve you. Please don't leave others at home tomorrow night. Come then. ? Say that finish and left. ?

In the evening, Biyou burned incense and waited. That woman really took her daughter with her. The fox woman is elegant and beautiful, peerless. The woman said to her daughter: Bilang and you have long been predestined friends, so stay here tonight. Go back early tomorrow morning and don't sleep. ? Bi You and Fox Girl fall in love hand in hand. Later, the fox smiled and said: The fat husband is unbearable! ? He left before dawn. In the evening, she came by herself and said, Sisters congratulate the groom for me and go with you tomorrow. ? Bi, you ask? Where is it? The fox said:? Elder sister is the host of the banquet, not far from here. ? You really waited. After a long time, Miss Fox didn't come either. He felt tired gradually, and then he lay down on the table. Suddenly, Miss Fox came in and said, Thank you for waiting. ? So they shook hands. Soon I went to a place and saw a big yard. They went straight into the nave, where they saw lights and candles flashing like stars. Soon the hostess came out, about twenty years old. Although she wears light makeup, she is very beautiful. She was about to sit down after saluting the skirt when the maid came in and said that the second lady had arrived. ? I saw a woman come in, about eighteen or nineteen years old, and said to Fox with a smile. Sister broke the melon. Is the groom happy? Fox hit her back with a fan and looked at her with his own eyes. Second sister said:? I remember playing with my sister when I was a child. My sister is most afraid of being poked in the ribs and rubbing her fingers at a distance. She laughed beyond endurance and was angry with me, saying that I should marry the little prince of the dwarf country. I said, girl, I'm going to marry a tall man in the future and stab myself in the mouth. Today really happened. ? Big sister smiled and said:? No wonder Third Sister complained that the groom was around, so it was so ridiculous. ?

After a while, everyone sat side by side, drinking and joking, very happy. Suddenly, a girl came up with a cat in her arms. She is about eleven or twelve years old, naive, but charming. The elder sister said:? Is fourth sister coming to see her brother-in-law? There is no place for you to sit here. ? Just pick her up and put her on her lap, and give her food and fruit to eat. After a while, he held her in his second sister's arms and said, my tibia hurts! ? Second sister said:? The girl is so big, but her body seems to weigh a hundred pounds. I can't stand being vulnerable. Since I want to see my brother-in-law, he is tall and fat with knees. ? So I put her in Bew's arms. A girl's arms are soft and fragrant, as light as no one. Never put off till tomorrow what you can hold her and drink from the same cup. The elder sister said:? Little girl, don't drink too much, you'll lose your manners if you get drunk, lest my brother-in-law laugh. ? The girl kept laughing, so she stroked the cat with her hand, and the cat suddenly made a sound. The elder sister said:? Throw it away and embrace fleas and lice! ? Second sister said:? Please take the cat as the drinking order and pass it on with chopsticks. Whoever has chopsticks drinks when the cat barks. ? Everyone plays like she said. As soon as the chopsticks arrived in Bew's hand, the cat barked. Pew is a heavy drinker. After drinking a few drinks, he realized that the girl made the cat meow on purpose, so he burst into laughter. Second sister said:? Little sister, go home and sleep! If you want to crush Mr. Lang, I'm afraid Third Sister will complain. ? The girl then took the cat away.

When the elder sister saw Bi Youhao drinking, she took the bun off her head and poured wine on it to persuade her. It seems that steamed buns can only hold one liter; However, as soon as I drank it, I felt that there were several fights. Wait until it dries. It turned out to be a lotus leaf cover. Second sister also wants to propose a toast. Never put off till tomorrow what you can refuse is not a good drinker. The second sister took out a fat box, which was a little bigger than a bullet, poured wine and said, since you can't drink enough, let's show some meaning for the time being. ? Biyou saw it and could drink it all at once; But after drinking more than 100 mouthfuls in a row, I couldn't drink any more. The fox changed the box with a small lotus cup and said, don't be teased by traitors again. ? Putting the box on the table turned out to be a huge rice bowl. Second sister said:? None of your business! Miss lang, who is only three days old, is so dear! ? Biyou gulped down the lotus glass in his mouth. The glass in your hand becomes very soft; A closer look reveals that it is not a wine glass, but an embroidered shoe, which is exquisitely embroidered. Second sister grabbed the shoes and scolded, you sly girl! When have you ever stolen someone else's shoes? No wonder your feet are cold! ? So I got up and went into the house to change my shoes. The fox asked Bi You to leave. After sending him out of the village, let him go home by himself. Biyou suddenly woke up, it turned out to be a dream; But it's strange that my nose and mouth are drunk and the smell of wine is still strong. In the evening, the fox came. I said, you didn't die drunk last night, did you? Never put off till tomorrow what you can say: I just wonder if this is a dream. ? The fox said:? Sisters are afraid of your nonsense, pretending that dreaming is not a dream. ?

Fox girl often plays chess with Bew, and Bew always loses. Fox girl smiled and said, You like playing chess all day. I think you must be a master. Today, it seems that you are just mediocre. ? You ask her for advice. The fox said:? The skill of playing chess lies in since the enlightenment. How can I help you? Gradually edify yourself every morning and evening, and maybe you should make progress. ? After a few months, Pew felt that she had made a little progress. Fox tried it and said with a smile. Not yet, not yet. ? Bi You went out to play chess with people who had played chess with him. People were surprised that his chess skills were much higher than before. Bi You is an honest and frank person, but he won't keep things in his heart, so he reveals some reasons a little. Fox girl already knew and scolded him. No wonder comrades don't want to associate with crazy people I've repeatedly told you to be cautious and confidential, but how come! ? Say that finish very angry to leave. Never put off till tomorrow what you can quickly apologize, the fox is just a little angry, but the number of times since then has gradually decreased. ?

After more than a year, one night, the fox came and sat in front of Bi Youshen. Never put off till tomorrow what you can accompany her to play chess, no less; Sleep with her, and don't sleep. She was dull for a long time and said, what do you think of my comparison with Qingfeng? Never put off till tomorrow what you can say: I'm afraid it is better than her. ? The fox said:? I feel inferior to her. However, Mr. Liaozhai and you are in writing. Ask him to write a short biography. In a thousand years, no one may love me like you. ? Never put off till tomorrow what you can say: I have this wish for a long time; I kept this secret because I used to follow your initial instructions. ? The fox said:? I told you, but today is the time to say goodbye. What are you afraid of? Bi, you ask? Where are you going? The fox replied:? Four elder sisters and I were recruited by the Queen Mother of the West to be flower and bird messengers and never came back. Once upon a time, there was a sister of the same age who gave birth to two girls when she left. Because she was with your uncle and brother, she was not married. Fortunately, you and I are not such a drag. ? You begged her to leave a message. The fox said:? I'm too arrogant to be widowed. ? So he got up and took Bi You's hand and said, Please send me away. ? They walked more than a mile and broke up crying. The fox said:? We are both interested in each other, so we may not meet again. ? Say that finish and left. ?

On the 19th day of the twelfth lunar month in the 21st year of Kangxi, Bi Yi 'an and I slept together in Chuo Ran Hall and described his adventures in detail. I said:? There is such a fox spirit, so my serial pen and ink will shine. ? So I wrote this story. ? ;
