"The Legend of Gong Mengbi" originally appeared in Volume 3 of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. Liu Fanghua, a wealthy local gentry in Baoding Prefecture, saw his family fortune decline due to his son and heir squandering their resources. In despair, Liu He sought to marry. However, his father-in-law, Huang, rejected him at the door. The Huang family’s daughter, loyal to their wedding promise, walked thousands of miles and begged along the way to reach Liu’s home to marry him. One day, Liu He and his wife discovered stacks of silver coins in an empty corner of the house. Liu He remembered these were tiles piled by his uncle Gong Mengbi years ago, and he recalled the "burying silver" game he used to play with Gong Mengbi in his youth. He dug up tens of thousands of taels of silver from the ground. Inspired, Liu He devoted himself to studying and passed the imperial examination, becoming a jinshi.
