沂水某秀才，課業山中。夜有二美人入，含笑不言，各以長袖拂榻，相將坐，衣耎無聲。少間，一美人起，以白綾巾展几上，上有草書三四行，亦未嘗審其何詞。一美人置白金一鋌，可三四兩許；秀才掇內袖中。美人取巾，握手笑出，曰：「俗不可耐！」秀才捫金，則烏有矣。麗人在坐，投以芳澤，置不顧，而金是取，是乞兒相也，尚可耐哉！狐子可兒，雅態可想。

A licentiate of Yishui was at his studies in the hills. One night two beautiful women came in. They smiled and said nothing. Each brushed the couch with her long sleeve, and they sat down together, their clothes so soft they made no sound. After a little, one of them rose and spread a white silk kerchief on the desk. On it were three or four lines in cursive script; he never looked closely to see what they said. The other set down an ingot of silver, some three or four taels in weight. The licentiate picked it up and tucked it into his sleeve. The woman took back her kerchief, and the two went out hand in hand, laughing. “Unbearably vulgar!” they said. The licentiate felt for the silver: there was nothing there. Two lovely women sit beside him and offer him their charms, and he pays them no heed but takes the silver. That is the look of a beggar. Who could bear it? Those fox girls were delightful; one can picture how elegant they were.
