Qin Mi claimed to be ill and remained at home, so Xiahou Zuan went to Qin Mi’s residence with Gu Pu, his Registrar of Merits, and Wang Pu, his Assistant Clerk, to dine and converse. (As recorded in the histories)
- Xiahou Zuan asked about the scholars of Shu, then asked what Qin Mi was like. Qin Mi answered by striking his cheek with his wooden tablet. (As recorded in the histories)
