以兄假未仕，不肯舉進士。 Because his elder brother Jia had not yet entered office, he refused to sit for the jinshi examination.

既假褫褐，乃入京師。 Once Jia had laid aside his commoner's robe, he entered the capital.

收又以假方外遷，誼不可先，固辭。 Shou also said that with Jia being transferred outside the capital, propriety forbade his going first, and he firmly declined.

未幾，假自浙西判官擢監察御史，而收亦自西川遷，兄弟同臺，世榮其友。 Before long Jia was promoted from Zhexi judge to investigating censor, and Shou also returned from Xichuan; the brothers served on the censorate together, and contemporaries honored their bond.

假，字仁之，仕終常州刺史。 Jia, courtesy name Renzhi, served to the end as prefect of Changzhou.
