後遊太學，師事少府李膺。 He then entered the Imperial Academy and took Li Ying, the Minister of the Household, as his master.

膺風性高簡，每見融，輒絕它賔客，聽其言論。 Li Ying was austere and aloof; whenever Fu Rong called, he sent other visitors away to hear him speak.

膺每捧手歎息。 Li Ying would clasp his hands and sigh in admiration.

郭林宗始入京師，時人莫識，融一見嗟服，因以介於李膺，由是知名。 When Guo Tai first reached the capital, nobody knew him; Fu Rong recognized his quality at once and introduced him to Li Ying—that was how Guo Tai's name spread.

又紹介於膺，以爲海之明珠，未燿其光，鳥之鳳皇，羽儀未翔。 then presented him to Li Ying as a pearl still hidden in the sea, a phoenix whose wings had not yet spread.

膺與林宗相見，待以師友之禮，遂振名天下，融之致也。」〉 Li Ying received Guo Tai with the rites due to a teacher and friend, and Guo's reputation shook the realm—that was Fu Rong's doing.")〉

融察其非真，乃到太學，并見李膺曰：「二子行業無聞，以豪桀自置，遂使公卿問疾，王臣坐門。 Fu Rong saw through the fraud, went to the academy with Li Ying, and said: "These men have no record of merit; they pose as prodigies while ministers grovel at sickbeds.

膺然之。 Li Ying agreed.
