休源初到京，寓於宗人少府卿孔登宅，曾以祠事入廟，侍中范雲一與相遇，深加褒賞，曰：「不期忽覯清顏，頓袪鄙吝，觀天披霧，驗之今日。」 On first reaching the capital he stayed with his kinsman Kong Deng, Junior Director of the Treasury. During a temple visit for sacrifice he met Attendant Fan Yun, who exclaimed: "I never expected to see such a clear face—it sweeps away my vulgarity, like clouds parting to reveal the sky."

後雲命駕到少府門，登便拂筵整帶，謂當詣己，旣而獨造休源，高談盡日，同載還家，登深以爲愧。 Later Yun drove to the Junior Director's gate. Deng hurried to set out cushions and straighten his sash, sure the visit was for him. Instead Yun sought out Xiuyuan alone, talked all day, and rode home with him—leaving Deng deeply mortified.
