宋濂、劉基、葉琛、章溢之赴召也，舟溯桐江，忽有人黃冠鹿裘立江上，招基而笑，且語侵之。 When Song Lian, Liu Ji, Ye Chen, and Zhang Yi were traveling to answer the imperial summons, their boat went up the Tong River. Suddenly a man in a yellow cap and deerskin cloak stood on the bank, beckoned to Ji with a laugh, and spoke to him in mocking tones.

琛、溢競歡謔，各取冠服服之，欲載上黟川，其人不可乃止。 Chen and Yi joined in merry banter, each took cap and robe and dressed him in them, and wanted to carry him upriver to Yichuan, but the man refused and they desisted.
