A middle-aged man with a white beard in long robes, a distant relative of the Lu family who works as an accountant in the county town. He acted as a middleman to connect Lu Ying with Qingshan Academy for enlightenment education. He secretly took two taels of silver as a referral fee. He warned Lu Ying not to reveal they were from the countryside since Teacher Lang disliked country kids. After the confrontation, he panicked, offered groveling apologies, and left in a huff, refusing to return the two taels.
