故尚書右丞張汝弼，永中母舅也。 The late Right Vice Director Zhang Rubi was Yong Zhong's uncle on his mother's side.

汝弼妻高陀斡自大定間畫永中母像，奉之甚謹，挾左道為永中求福，希覬非望。 Rubi's wife Gaotuowo had painted a portrait of Yong Zhong's mother as far back as the Dading era and tended it with scrupulous devotion; she turned to unorthodox rites to win blessings for Yong Zhong and harbored forbidden hopes.
