However, when he entertained Zongti, he only gave him rice cooked with whole grains. But Zongti just continued to eat and never lost his temper because of the poor food. He is ambitious and devotes most of his energy to studying.

Later, Zong Ji became the governor of Yuzhou, but he did not hate Yu Ye. Instead, he thought Yu Ye was talented and asked him to be his subordinate. Zong Ji took the humiliation in the past and took it seriously. A generous heart.
