Who knows what the name of a story in Strange Tales from Liaozhai is

Ye Sheng, Volume 1, Article 31.

Until one day, Ding Chenghe, a new county from Huaiyang, admired Ye Sheng's article. The magistrate not only received him, but also let him live in the county government to continue to study poetry and books, and often used money and food to help Ye Sheng's family. During the pre-examination in the county, Ding Zhixian praised Ye Sheng in front of the examiner, so Ye Sheng won the first place in the township examination.

Ding Zhixian had greater hopes for Ye Sheng. After the official exam was over, he took out Ye Sheng's test paper to review it, and praised it while clapping it. Who knows, Ye Sheng is still unlucky.

After the public list, Ye Sheng fell off the list again. Ye Sheng returned home very depressed, feeling ashamed of his parents and confidants, so he described himself as getting thinner and thinner, and his expression became demented, like a wooden man. When Ding Zhixian heard about it, he hurriedly comforted him.

Originally, he made an appointment to go to the capital for an interview, but Ye Sheng fell ill and died, but his soul actually followed Ding Chenghe, taught his son, and made him famous, and he didn't know that he was dead until he finally returned home.

Yi Shi said: "The soul forgot to die from a confidant? Those who heard it were suspicious, and Yu was convinced.

Concentric Chinese girl, to the soul of the pillow; Thousands of miles of good friends, still know the road in the dream. And the cocoon silk flies, vomiting the heart and liver of the bachelor; Flowing water and high mountains, the one who passes through my Cao's life! Whew!

In the difficult period, the encounter is not even.
