《太平广记·卷四百九十二·杂传记》
何况我只是一个弱女子，父母责备我孤傲忠贞，狂妄的小子欺凌我孤寡力弱，我被人挟制，处境危急，怎能不稍稍打动仁爱之人的心呢？ 周宝说： 九娘子是神灵一类人物，一呼一吸之间就风云变幻，那些愚昧的老百姓，本来在你的掌握之中，你怎么会向世俗之人示弱，自己又觉得困苦到这种程度呢？ 
矧妾一女子，父母斥其孤贞，狂童凌其寡弱，缀旒之急，安得不少动仁人之心乎？ 宝曰： 九娘子灵宗异派，呼吸风云，蠢尔黎元，固在掌握。又焉得示弱于世俗之人，而自困如是者哉？ 
Moreover I am just a weak woman, reproached by my parents for my stubborn loyalty, bullied by young hooligans because I am a widow and vulnerable. I am oppressed and my situation is desperate. How can I fail to move the heart of the compassionate? Zhou Bao said: Miss Jiu, you are like a spirit. With one breath you can summon the wind and clouds. How can you, who have the foolish common people in the palm of your hand, come to such straits and think yourself poor and weak?
