小官人 [xiǎo guān rén] [xiao guan ren]—
A respectful term for a young man. From Chapter 2 of Water Margin (《水滸傳 [shui hu chuan]》): "Since he is the (xiǎoguānrén) of the residence, if he wishes to learn, I, your humble servant, will teach him properly, how about that?" From Volume 3, The Oil Vendor Wins the Courtesan (《醒世恆言 [xing shi heng yan].卷三 [juan san].賣油郎獨占花魁 [mai you lang du zhan hua kui]》), in Stories to Caution the World: "Zhu Shilao's (朱十老 [zhu shi lao]) household had a maidservant named Lanhua (蘭花 [lan hua]), who was over twenty years old and had intentionally set her sights on Young Master Zhu (朱 [zhu]), repeatedly trying to entice him." Also referred to as "小官 [xiao guan] (xiǎoguān)".

小官人:對年輕男子的敬稱。《水滸傳》第二回:「既然是宅內小官人,若愛學時,小人點撥他端正,如何?」《醒世恆言.卷三.賣油郎獨占花魁》:「那朱十老家有個侍女,叫做蘭花,年已二十之外,存心看上了朱小官人,幾遍的倒下鉤子去勾搭他。」也稱為「小官」。
