武昌尹圖南有別第，嘗為一秀才稅居，半年來亦未嘗過問。一日遇諸其門，年最少，而容儀裘馬，翩翩甚都。趨與語，卻又蘊藉可愛。異之，歸語妻，妻遣婢托遺問以窺其室。室有麗姝，美艷逾于仙人。一切花石服玩，俱非耳目所經。尹不測其何人，詣門投謁，適值他出。翼日卻來拜答，展其刺呼，始知余姓德名。語次細審官閥，言殊隱約，固詰之，則曰：「欲相還往，僕不敢自絕。應知非寇竊通逃者，何須必知來歷。」尹謝之。命酒款宴，言笑甚歡。向暮，有昆侖捉馬挑燈，迎導以去。
武昌的尹圖南另有一所宅子，曾租給一個秀才居住，半年來也沒有過問。一天，他在那所宅子的門口遇見了秀才。秀才十分年輕，容貌、儀態以及穿的皮衣、騎的馬，都顯得風度翩翩，十分俊雅。尹圖南上前與他交談，又覺得他溫文含蓄，很討人喜歡。尹圖南感到驚奇，回家告訴了妻子。妻子派婢女借送禮問候的機會，去看看秀才的屋子。屋裡有個美麗女子，比仙人還要美豔。所有花木、石景、衣服和玩賞的器物，也都是從未見過、聽過的。尹圖南猜不透秀才是什麼人，便登門投帖拜訪，恰好秀才外出了。第二天，秀才卻來回訪。尹圖南展開名帖，照著上面的姓名稱呼，這才知道他姓餘，名德。交談時，尹圖南詳細詢問他的官職和家世，他的回答卻很含糊。尹圖南再三追問，他便說：「您想與我往來，我不敢拒絕。您只要知道我不是強盜、小偷，也不是被通緝的逃犯，又何必一定要弄清我的來歷呢？」尹圖南向他道歉，叫人擺酒款待，兩人談笑得十分愉快。傍晚，有個崑崙奴牽著馬、挑著燈來迎接，領著餘德離開了。

Yin Tunan of Wuchang owned a second house, which he had once let to a licentiate. For half a year he never asked about his tenant. One day he met him at the gate. He was very young, and in looks and bearing, in furs and horse, he was dashing and handsome. Yin went up to speak with him and found him gentle and refined, very likeable. Yin wondered at him, and when he got home he told his wife. She sent a maid with a gift on some pretext, to get a look inside his rooms. In the rooms was a lovely woman, more beautiful than an immortal. All the flowers and rocks, the clothes and curios, were things no one had ever seen or heard of. Yin could not guess who the young man was. He went to the gate and left his card, but the tenant happened to be out. The next day the tenant came to return the call. Yin unfolded his card and read the name: only then did he learn that his surname was Yu and his given name De. As they talked, Yin asked carefully about his rank and family. Yu’s answers were very vague. When Yin pressed him, he said, “If you wish us to visit one another, I would not dare refuse. You may be sure I am no bandit, thief or fugitive. Why must you know where I come from?” Yin apologized. He ordered wine and feasted him, and they talked and laughed very happily. Toward evening a Kunlun slave came with a horse and a lantern and led Yu away.
