Once he sought a maid for his daughter and got a very elegant woman. Chen Gui felt strange and asked her. It turned out that she was the daughter of Imperial Examination Graduate Zhang from Yunmeng. Her husband passed away due to separation during the war and she had nowhere to go, so she sold herself to survive. Chen Gui helped her get a dowry and married her off. People who heard about it were moved to tears.
