Also known as Jiang Kaishuo, Jiang Xun's father. Inherited the title of Anyang Count but was not cut out for scholarly pursuits or officialdom. Had a legitimate eldest son (Jiang Xun) who was mentally impaired before the fever. Was tempted to adopt his half-brother's second son but changed his mind after Xun'er recovered. Bought pastries and a hairpin at Baohua Pavilion before the Imperial Guards surrounded his residence.
