Male, Qin Xiao's younger brother. He spends his days reading and avoids physical labor. His body is thin and weak. He is arrogant and entitled, demanding money from Qin Xiao for his studies. He spent two taels monthly on tuition alone plus expenses for brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones. He tried to mock Qinghe as a purchased slave but was silenced by her scholarly arguments. He complained to Madam Qin about being pushed out by Qin Xiao.
