Known as the third young master, he is from the Cui family's main branch. Since childhood he had been widely read and at thirteen had already silenced local scholars in debate, earning great respect among the Cui sons. He seldom stays at the ancestral home, preferring the countryside, and is deeply knowledgeable in farming and irrigation. He is refined and scholarly but also an excellent cook, which surprises Xu Shuyao. He carries a bamboo basket full of mushrooms.
