There was such a thief, who did not like to steal anything else, but was very keen on stealing horses, and he rarely missed.

One day, he reached out his hand to a rich man's house at the east end of the town, where 20 well-bred horses were tied to the stables, and he "visited" them several times, stealing five of the rich man's horses in half a year. Just as he was about to steal the sixth horse, he found in an open window of the rich man's house a beautiful woman, who was pulling down her hair, and her hair was pulled up like a waterfall on her chest. Very charming.

The horse thief lay on the window for a long time and saw a daze. He decided not to steal the sixth horse for the time being, he would keep the sixth horse for the last time, when he would take the beautiful woman in the window and gallop out of the rich man's house on the sixth horse, and then live as a man and a woman.

The thief continued to appear in the rich man's house, but no longer stole the horse, but secretly watched the woman removing her makeup at the window. He did not even know what the relationship between the woman and the rich man was, and he fell madly in love with her, so every night he would lie down in the garden opposite the window, where a thick bush hid him.

The thief gradually realized that just admiring the beauty secretly would not lead away, he wanted to walk into the beauty and completely grab the beauty's heart. So, every day, the thief kept watch not far from the gate of the rich man's house, watching the beautiful woman go out in the carriage, and he secretly followed the woman to every place: the village, the temple, the streets and alleys...

Through understanding, the thief learned that this woman is a rich man's young lady, nineteen years old, is waiting to be married, but through the matchmaker's many talks and no preferred object. The thief learned of these news, the heart itching, every day behind his beloved woman's carriage, through the countryside, through the downtown, only waiting for the opportunity to approach her.

The chance is finally here! On this day, the rich lady went to the temple incense on the way back, encountered two robbers, the attendant before the lady's carriage was soon killed, the robber lifted the curtain of the carriage, the lady in the carriage had already been scared to shake, the two robbers had a smile on their face, they planned to take the lady away. At this time, the thief who had already been angry suddenly jumped out from behind, and the two robbers were subdued on the ground.

When the rich man heard that someone had saved his precious daughter, his heart was filled with joy. He quickly ordered his servants to reward him with 20 taels of gold, and let him buy a manor and go home to enjoy himself. Unexpectedly, he flatly refused, he made such a request to the rich man, hoping to do a personal bodyguard for the lady. It only costs 5 taels of silver a month, which is to find a job. The rich man hesitated for a moment, thinking that it was good to have him take care of the house and his heart would be safe, so he smiled and agreed to his request.

The thief's heart is happy, this is exactly what he wants, he finally has a chance to get close to the lady. He is indeed a clever thief, in the days around Miss, through their own practical actions, gradually won the miss's heart. He swore to himself that he would change his mind and never be a thief again! However, if he wants to be the son-in-law of the rich, he is certainly not qualified, and he must gradually implement his plan - take the lady away.

With great difficulty, he managed to persuade the lady. The two men agreed to leave the country on the fifteenth night of the first month, but how could they get out of town quickly? He decided to steal a horse from the rich man's manger.

The Lantern Festival came soon, and the rich man and his wife went to the street to admire the lanterns. The young lady was ill at home, only waiting for his orders. Masked in disguise, he secretly touched the stable, and quickly untied the REINS of a strong bordeaux horse, but just as he was about to lead the horse, he was held down by two housekeepers and caught.

The rich man came back, the family members brought torches, tore his mask, this look, can not help but be startled, the original heart to catch the horse thief, it is their own home bodyguard! Originally, since the rich man lost the fifth horse, he set up a guard in the stable, only to wait for him to reach out again, did not expect the beautiful lady let him be late for two years to reveal his true shape!

He was sent to the government, and the government sentenced him to one year for a horse, and he was put in prison for six years. On the day he was released, the jailer told him a secret that he hated all his life: on the fifteenth day of the first month six years ago, the rich family did not go to admire the lanterns, but to help his daughter prepare a dowry, and the rich man planned to marry his daughter, not others, but him! Only he and Mademoiselle remain in the dark...
