There was once a very handsome wealthy student. When he was travelling to do exams in the capital he found accomodation in a monk's house. Every moring he woke up to see his desk & chair & brush & ink all cleaned and arranged in perfect order. He even got daily fresh flowers in his vase. The student started dreaming: people usually say there are lots of beautiful fox spirits in this area. maybe there is one here and she is attracted to me, hence doing all these things for me.:D He was hoping for that with all his heart till one night he broke a corner of the paper window and looked into his study. No surprise he saw someone tidying the room for him, but the person was not a beautiful girl, but a bulky bearded middle aged man! He was horrified and moved house the next day, when he was moving he could hear sighing in the air... O.O

foxy violence
A family had a loft occupied by a family of fox spirits. Everyday they could hear the fox spirits talking and laughing, but they never harmed other people so the family just let them be. One day people gathered in the house and heard fighting noises from the loft, everyone sat closer to it to listen to 八卦. :D Then they heard a voice asking them: gentlemen from downstairs, please tell me: how can a wife bash up her husband like this??? There was one among those downstairs who just had a fight with his wife and he still had a fresh wound on his face from the fight. so people all laughed and told the fox: such things happen a lot these days. No surprise! the fox spirits laughed too after hearing that and stopped their domestic violence. :D

son & water
A magistrate's daughter had obsessive unrequited love for a scribe working under her dad, so she secretly sent her servant girl to bring her the water in which the scribe washed his hand. she drank the water and became pregnant and gave birth to a son. When the child can walk the magistrate brought the kid out for him to point out his dad. The child ran up and hugged the scribe. The scribe was so horrified and pushed the child away. The child fell, and became a pool of water. The magistrate interrogated his daughter, after he found out what happened, he forced the scribe to marry his daughter. 囧

a desiring heart
a peasant found an egg and started dreaming: the egg will hatch a chicken, chicken will produce more egg, more egg turn into more chicken, next month i will have 15 chicken, 15 will become 300, i can use the 300 to swap to 150 oxen, and in the end i can use the oxen to buy a concubine. His wife was furious and smashed the egg. The couple went to see the magistrate. husband cried: this evil woman has destroyed all my properties! magistrate asked: where is your property? how did she destroy it? Husband told the story of the egg and the concubine. magistrate mused: this much property! all gone because of your wife!of course she deserves to be punished. The woman cried: all he said was just in his imagination! Why am i guilty? Magistrate asked: He is no way close to getting a concubine yet! why were you jealous? Woman replied: I am just cutting the root of all evil. Magistrate laughed: he has greed. you have jealousy. Both unrealistic and excessive. In your illusions experiencing such satisfaction or hatred is just pointless and absurd.

anyways ancient chinese ppl are funny ppl. :D
on another note i wonder if i will get to see this movie in cinemas when i go back. *hearts*

china's most famous love triangle in its latest version. :D
the good ppl

the evil guy

apparently the evil guy is not so evil this time but equally good and cute... O.O
