There was a man named Lu Ziwen in Baoding Mansion, who was very knowledgeable and a local celebrity. There was a rich local man named Sun, who was a rich local man. Because he admired Lu Ziwen's reputation and prestige, it happened that Lu Ziwen had a son named Lu Bowen, and Sun Fufu had a daughter named Sun Qian, who wanted to marry him as his children.

As the saying goes, "Man's fate is destined." Although Lu Ziwen is very knowledgeable, he has no choice but to be fooled by God's will. He failed the entrance examination many times, and his family was declining day by day. Later, he ran away in anger, and there was no news for many years, leaving Lu Bowen alone. Sun Fufu had the idea of repenting and wanted to break the marriage contract, so he asked his daughter's opinion. But Sun Ziqian said, "Marry the chicken and follow the chicken, marry the dog and follow the dog, and a good daughter does not marry a second husband. Bowen and I have an engagement, and I will not marry anyone else."

When Sun Fufu saw that his daughter was determined, when he got angry, he asked his daughter to marry Lu Bowen in poor clothes and the most worthless jewelry, and wanted her to retreat. At this time, the Lu family was too poor to open the pot. But she ate chaff and swallowed vegetables, and didn't think it was bitter. After half a year, Sun Fufu sent someone to pick up his daughter, but Sun Fuqian refused to go back. The next day, Sun Fufu brought a group of people to drink and drink in person, as if to find fault with a fight. In order not to let her husband be beaten, Sun Fuqian had to follow her father back. Sun Fufu forced Lu Bowen to write a divorce letter, but Lu Bowen did not agree and fled overnight to find his father.

Lu Bowen inquired about his father's whereabouts all the way until he came to Xi'an, only to find out that his father had died. It turned out that his father died in a guest shop a few years ago and was buried in the western suburbs. Lu Bowen heard about the western suburbs, but he couldn't find his father's tomb no matter what. Lu Bowen cried bitterly, and it was getting late, and he fell asleep unknowingly. In the middle of the night, someone suddenly shook him up and said, "Wake up, my son is here."

Lu Bowen calmed down for a moment and took a closer look. It turned out to be his father. Lu Bowen cried bitterly and said, "My son has been so hard to find your bones. You are still alive and not dead!" The father said, "I 'm not alive, I have become a ghost. This time it is for you." Lu Bowen cried even more sadly. His father asked him to go home with him. Lu Bowen followed him. After a while, he arrived at the house, but saw that his wife was also there. Lu Bowen was surprised and asked, "My wife is here, could it be that she is also dead?"

The father said, "No, I brought her to me temporarily, and when you get home, I will send her back. Your filial piety has moved the emperor of heaven, and the emperor of heaven has given you a thousand taels of silver, and the good days of your husband and wife are still ahead! You hurry back, I am afraid it will be too late if you are late." Lu Bowen woke up, it turned out to be Nan Ke Yimeng, but there was a silver ticket of one thousand taels by his side. He left a mark on the place where he dreamed and hurried home.

When he arrived at home, Lu Bowen hurried to find his wife. But when he arrived at the door of Sun's house, the doorman did not allow him to enter at first, and Lu Bowen made a big noise at the door. It turned out that Sun Qian was forced to go back to her parents' house, and she was on a hunger strike to protest, and is now dying. Sun Rich expected that his daughter would die, and wanted to wait until her daughter died to frame Lu Bowen, so he gave her to him and asked him to carry her back. When he got home, under the careful care of Lu Bowen, Sun Qian slowly recovered to health.

Lu Bowen used his father's thousand taels of silver to buy a house and land, opened a pawn shop, and the business grew bigger and bigger, eventually becoming the richest man in the area. Later, Lu Bowen returned to Xi'an, found the place where he had marked, dug down, and indeed found his father's body, brought it back, and was buried grandly.
