Folktale： When an official studies at night, the fox becomes a scholar, and after some words, he is asked to move voluntarily.

　　In the Qing Dynasty, Zhao Xiangming, the son of General Zhao Da, was also a tiger, and became the prefect of Baoding, Hebei Province at a young age.

　　Although Zhao Xiangming was born in the military, he still loved reading. He read tirelessly after his official duties every day, and simply opened a west building that had been idle for many years in the prefect's house as his study.

　　That night, Zhao Xiangming was studying in the West Building again. The doors and windows were already locked, but I don't know what happened. A person actually got in through the window gap. He looked particularly flat, but he was still a person.

　　The monster walked into the West Building and rubbed his head and hands and feet by himself. Anyway, he rubbed his whole body again, and the originally flat body returned to normal, and his head became round like a normal person.

　　The man's head is still wearing a square towel that scholars like, wearing red shoes on his feet, kneeling on the ground upstairs, and his mouth still loudly says:

　　The student is a fox student. He has lived here for more than one hundred years. He has been granted permission by the adults who live here and has never bothered me.

　　But adults suddenly come here to study now. You are a court official. Of course, I dare not collide, so I'll show up tonight to discuss it with adults.

　　Zhao Xiangming was not afraid, and said loudly to the downstairs, since you are a fox and a reasonable person, what do you want to discuss with me?

　　The fox scholar replied that if adults must study here, I have to leave and find another place to live, but I hope adults can allow three days.

　　If adults pity me for having nowhere to live and allow me to continue my life here, please lock the gate, just like before.

　　Zhao Xiangming began to feel a little scared when he heard this, but he still laughed and said, You are a fox, how dare you call yourself a student? Can't you foxes also take the scholar exam?

　　The fox came back and said, we foxes go to the Taishan Empress for an exam every year. Those who are proficient in arts and sciences are green workers, while those who are not proficient in arts and sciences are wild foxes.

　　Although they are all foxes, foxes can cultivate immortality, but wild foxes can only do harm to the world.

　　The fox scholar continued to persuade Zhao Xiangming that although adults are noble people and enjoy the splendor of the world, it is a pity that they cannot cultivate immortality like us.

　　You know, it's very difficult to cultivate immortals like me. First, I have to learn how to become human, and I have to learn to speak like a human. Secondly, I have to learn bird language, bird language in all countries and Kyushu, and all kinds of bird language.

　　Generally speaking, it takes us 500 years to cultivate human form and speak human words, and human cultivation of immortals saves at least 500 years of useless work.

　　If a noble person like an adult had read a lot of poetry books, it would have saved 300 years compared with ordinary people.

　　It is often said in the world that it takes thousands of years to become immortal. In fact, it refers to my situation. I can only stand at the same starting line with you in 800 years. If I were you, I would succeed in 200 years.

　　Zhao Xiangming saw that although the fox was heterogeneous, he could talk and behave gracefully and was not disgusting at all, so he promised to move away the next day and give this place to the fox to continue his practice.

　　In later years, Zhao Xiangming rose all the way to be an assistant minister of the Ministry of War, and his descendants became senior officials one after another.

　　In his later years, he once told his descendants about the fox scholar. Suddenly, someone asked, who is the "Taishan Empress" that the fox said?

　　Zhao Xiangming remembered that he should have asked the fox, where was the Taishan Empress, and what questions would she have when she tested the fox?

　　It's a pity that time passed too long, and when I opened the courtyard of Baoding West Building, it was empty.

　　The fox scholar never appeared again. Maybe he has really cultivated into an immortal and gone to other places to be chic.
