駙馬都尉陸賢從受學，入朝，舉止端雅。 The imperial son-in-law Lu Xian studied under him, and when Xian entered court his bearing was dignified and refined.

太祖喜，問誰教者，賢以引對，立召見，賜食。 The Taizu was pleased and asked who had taught him. Xian named Yin, and Yin was immediately summoned to audience and given a meal.

他日，賢以褻服見，引太息曰：「是其心易我，不可久居此矣。」 Another day Xian came to see him in informal dress. Yin sighed deeply and said: "His heart has turned away from me—I cannot remain here much longer."
