然性儉剋少恩情，姊在鄉里，飢寒不立，脩之未嘗供贍。 By nature, however, he was tight-fisted and sparing of affection. His elder sister lived in the countryside in want, yet he never once helped her.

嘗往視姊，姊欲激之，為設菜羹粗飯，脩之曰：「此乃貧家好食。」 Once he visited her. Hoping to shame him, she served only vegetable broth and coarse grain. Xiuzhi said, "This is exactly the sort of meal a poor family does best."
