晏平仲嬰者,萊之夷維人也。事齊靈公、莊公、景公,以節儉力行重於齊。既相齊,食不重肉,妾不衣帛。其在朝,君語及之,即危言;語不及之,即危行。國有道,即順命;無道,即衡命。以此三世顯名於諸侯。
越石父賢,在縲紲中。晏子出,遭之涂,解左驂贖之,載歸。弗謝,入閨。久之,越石父請絕。晏子懼然,攝衣冠謝曰:「嬰雖不仁,免子於緦何子求絕之速也?」石父曰:「不然。吾聞君子詘於不知己而信於知己者。方吾在縲紲中,彼不知我也。夫子既已感寤而贖我,是知己;知己而無禮,固不如在縲紲之中。」晏子於是延入為上客。
晏子為齊相,出,其御之妻從門閒而闚其夫。其夫為相御,擁大蓋,策駟馬,意氣揚揚甚自得也。既而歸,其妻請去。夫問其故。妻曰:「晏子長不滿六尺,身相齊國,名顯諸侯。今者妾觀其出,志念深矣,常有以自下者。今子長八尺,乃為人仆御,然子之意自以為足,妾是以求去也。」其後夫自抑損。晏子怪而問之,御以實對。晏子薦以為大夫。
