乃舉：「鷄鳴丑愁見起來，還漏逗裙子偏衫箇也無？袈裟形相些些，有裩無腰袴無口，頭上青灰三五斗，指望修行利濟人，誰知翻成不唧𠺕。」師云：「趙州新婦面上添笑靨，又向繡幕裏行，只是少得人見。」

> He then cited: "'The cock crows at the chou hour; grieved to see oneself arise. / Still leaking and lagging—neither skirt nor partial robe! / The appearance of the kaṣāya is negligible; / Having trousers without a waist, leggings without openings. / On the head, three to five pecks of blue ashes. / Looking forward to practicing to benefit people, / Who knew that on the contrary it would turn out so clumsy!'" The master said, "Zhaozhou adds dimples to the new bride's face and also walks inside the embroidered curtain, only few people catch sight of her."
