宣子惠亦至二千石。 His son Xue Hui likewise rose to two-thousand-dan rank.

始惠為彭城令，宣從臨淮遷至陳留，過其縣，橋梁、郵亭不修。 When Xue Hui was magistrate of Pengcheng, his father passed through on transfer from Linhuai to Chenliu and noticed bridges and relay stations left unrepaired.

宣心知惠不能，留彭城數日，案行捨中，處置什器，觀視園菜，終不問惠以吏事。 Xue Xuan knew his son was not up to the job; he lingered several days in Pengcheng, inspected the guest quarters, rearranged the household gear, and toured the kitchen garden—yet never mentioned administration.

惠自知治縣不稱宣意，遣門下掾送宣至陳留，令掾進見，自從其所問宣不教戒惠吏職之意。 Hui guessed he had failed his father's expectations; he sent a gate clerk to accompany Xuan toward Chenliu, then had the clerk ask, in his stead, why his father offered no word of guidance on magisterial duty.
