One day, the monkey saw that Zhangzhu was beautiful, and he was in love. The monkey turned into a white faced scholar, claiming to be sun Junwu, the son of sun Guangwen, the leader of Huangshan stronghold. In the evening, he came to Zhao's house and asked to stay overnight on the ground that it was late. Seeing that he was handsome, well-dressed and polite, the old couple of Zhao's believed him. They happily stayed him and hosted a banquet. After drinking three glasses of wine, sun Gongzi stated his love for Zhang Zhu to the old couple, begged to accept himself as his son-in-law, and vowed to serve the two elders for the rest of their life. When the old couple heard the sweet words, they were very happy. After discussing with her daughter, Zhang Zhu was happy with sun Gongzi, who was both talented and beautiful. The next morning, the old couple went back to Mr. Sun.
