初,太后弟秉,以功封都鄉侯,黃初七年進封開陽侯,邑千二百戶,爲昭烈將軍。〈《魏略》曰:初,卞后弟秉,當建安時得爲別部司馬,后常對太祖怨言,太祖荅言:「但得與我作婦弟,不爲多邪?」后又欲太祖給其錢帛,太祖又曰:「但汝盜與,不爲足邪?」故訖太祖世,秉官不移,財亦不益。〉秉薨,子蘭嗣。少有才學,〈《魏略》曰:蘭獻賦贊述太子德美,太子報曰:「賦者,言事類之所附也,頌者,美盛德之形容也,故作者不虛其辭,受者必當其實。蘭此賦,豈吾實哉?昔吾丘壽王一陳寶鼎,何武等徒以歌頌,猶受金帛之賜,蘭事雖不諒,義足嘉也。今賜牛一頭。」由是遂見親敬。〉爲奉車都尉、游擊將軍,加散騎常侍。蘭薨,子暉嗣。〈《魏略》曰:明帝時,蘭見外有二難,而帝留意於宮室,常因侍從,數切諫。帝雖不能從,猶納其誠欵。後蘭苦酒消渴,時帝信巫女用水方,使人持水賜蘭,蘭不肯飲。詔問其意?蘭言治病自當以方藥,何信於此?帝爲變色,而蘭終不服。後渴稍甚,以至於亡。故時人見蘭好直言,謂帝靣折之而蘭自殺,其實不然。〉又分秉爵,封蘭弟琳爲列侯,官至步兵校尉。蘭子隆女爲高貴鄉公皇后,隆以后父爲光祿大夫,位特進,封睢陽鄉侯,妻王爲顯陽鄉君。追封隆前妻劉爲順陽鄉君,后親母故也。琳女又爲陳留王皇后,時琳已沒,封琳妻劉爲廣陽鄉君。
