清河房愛親妻崔氏者，同郡崔元孫之女。 Lady Cui, consort of Fang Aiqin of Qinghe, was the daughter of Cui Yuansun of the same commandery.

子景伯、景先，崔氏親授經義，[7]學行修明，並為當世名士。 Her sons Jingbo and Jingxian received the classics directly from Lady Cui; [7] both became men of cultivated learning and conduct, renowned in their day.

景伯為之悲傷，入白其母。 Jingbo was moved to pity and went to tell his mother.

母曰：「吾聞聞不如見，山民未見禮教，何足責哉？ His mother said, "I have heard that hearing is not equal to seeing. These mountain folk have never been taught ritual propriety—how can we blame them?

景伯遂召其母，崔氏處之於榻，與之共食。 Jingbo summoned the mother; Lady Cui seated her on a couch and shared meals with her.

崔氏曰：「此雖顏慚，未知心愧，且可置之。」 Lady Cui said, "His face shows shame, but I do not yet know whether his heart feels guilt. Let him wait awhile."

子景伯景先崔氏親授經義諸本及北史卷九一房愛親妻崔氏傳「景先」作「景光」。 "Her sons Jingbo and Jingxian received the classics from Lady Cui": various editions and juan 91 of the History of the Northern Dynasties read "Jingguang" instead of "Jingxian."

按卷四三房法壽傳附景伯景先傳，景先傳云：「其母自授毛詩、曲禮。」 Note: juan 43's biography of Fang Fashou includes biographies of Jingbo and Jingxian; Jingxian's biography states: "His mother personally taught him the Mao Odes and the Record of Rites in One Volume."
