Male, an old acquaintance of the Jiang family. He passed the imperial examination two years ago but chose not to pursue further court positions due to his negative experience with the Ningzhou mutiny and court politics. He now teaches at Moyang Academy and is the most popular teacher there. He is deeply grateful to Jiang's father for saving his life and wants to hold a memorial service to repay that debt. He has no elders left in his family.
