先主既定益州，廣漢太守夏侯纂請宓為師友祭酒，領五官掾，稱曰仲父。宓稱疾，臥在第舍，纂將功曹古朴，主簿王普，廚膳即宓第宴談，宓臥如故。纂問朴曰︰「至於貴州養生之具，實絕餘州矣，不知士人何如餘州也？」朴對曰︰「乃自先漢以來，其爵位者或不如餘州耳，至於著作為世師式，不負于餘州也。嚴君平見黃、老作《指歸》，揚雄見《易》作《太言》，見《論語》作《法言》，司馬相如主武帝製封禪之文，于今天下所共聞也。」纂曰︰「仲父何如？」宓以簿擊頰，〈簿，手版也。〉曰︰

Deeds
After the Former Lord pacified Yi Province, Xiahou Zuan, Administrator of Guanghan, invited Qin Mi to serve as libationer for teachers and friends and concurrently as a Wuguan clerk, and addressed him as “Father Zhong.” Qin Mi pleaded illness and remained at home, so Xiahou Zuan went to his residence with Registrar Gu Pu and Chief Clerk Wang Pu for a banquet and conversation. (as recorded in the histories)
During their conversation, Xiahou Zuan asked about the scholars of Shu. Gu Pu answered, citing writings from Shu as examples; the record notes that Wang Pu was present but does not record him speaking. (as recorded in the histories)
