善遇士，若楊夔、康軿、夏侯淑、殷文圭、王希羽等皆為上客。 He treated scholars generously. Yang Kui, Kang Kai, Xiahou Shu, Yin Wengui, Wang Xiyu, and others were all honored as chief guests.

文圭有美名，全忠、镠交辟不應。 Wengui enjoyed a fine reputation. Both Zhu Quanzhong and Qian Liu repeatedly invited him, but he refused them all.

頵置田宅，迎其母，以甥事之，故文圭為盡力。 Yun gave him land and a house, welcomed his mother, and treated him as a sister’s son—so Wengui served him with all his strength.
