子恢之被召為祕書郎，敬弘為求奉朝請，與恢之書曰：「祕書有限，故有競。 His son Huizhi was summoned as Secretary Gentleman. Jinghong sought for him the post of Court Gentleman for Imperial Audience and wrote to Huizhi, "Secretary posts are limited, so there is competition.

恢之嘗請假還東定省，敬弘克日見之，至日輒不果，假日將盡，恢之乞求奉辭，敬弘呼前，既至閤，復不見。 Huizhi once asked leave to return east to pay his respects at home. Jinghong fixed a day to see him, but when the day came he would not receive him. As the leave was nearly over, Huizhi begged to take formal leave. Jinghong called him forward, but once he reached the gate he again would not see him.

恢之於閤外拜辭，流涕而去。 Outside the gate Huizhi bowed his farewell and left in tears.

恢之至新安太守，中大夫。 Huizhi rose to Administrator of Xin'an and Grand Master of the Palace.
