Description of Mingyan's appearance in "A Dream of Red Mansions"

Mingyan appeared during the process of "Jin Rong bullying Qin Zhong". The author does not describe too much about Mingyan, but just briefly mentions it with two sentences: "This Mingyan was the first one Jia Baoyu had to use, and he was young and not shady about worldly affairs."

Among the two casual sentences, the most interesting one is that the author did not use "This Mingyan is Baoyu's first person to use it", but "This Mingyan is Baoyu's first person". The sentence "has to be used" is missing the word "人".

This sentence is a pun. It can refer to both people and objects, which reflects an important and commonly used item in the royal family, "Yu Mo".
