又遣中書舍人劉乙勞損於館，乙衣冠偉然，騶僮甚盛。 He also sent Secretariat Drafter Liu Yi to entertain Sun at the guesthouse. Yi appeared in magnificent dress with an imposing retinue of grooms and servants.

他日損遇乙於途，布衣芒屩而已，損使人誚之曰：「鳳閣舍人，何偪下之甚也！」 Another day Sun met Yi on the road dressed in plain cloth and straw sandals. Sun sent a man to taunt him: "Phoenix Pavilion drafter, how far you have lowered yourself!"

乙羞愧，以手掩面而走。 Mortified, Yi covered his face and fled.
