十五，與母及丕俱居太學，習《魯詩》，閉戶講誦，絕人間事，兄弟俱為諸儒所稱，學士爭歸之。 At fifteen he moved into the Imperial Academy with his mother and Pi to study the Lu Odes behind closed doors, ignoring the world; both brothers won praise from the faculty and students flocked to study under them.

郡數以禮請，謝不肯應，母強遣之，恭不得已而西，因留新豐教授。 The commandery invited him repeatedly with due ceremony; he declined until his mother insisted; he finally traveled west and settled in Xinfeng as a teacher.

恭在事三年，州舉尤異，會遭母喪去官，吏人思之。 After three exemplary years the province flagged him for special distinction, but mourning for his mother forced him to resign; the county longed for his return.
