崔氏，周術忽妻也。 Lady Cui was the wife of Zhou Shuhu.

丁亥歲，從術忽官平陽。 In the dinghai year she accompanied Shuhu to his post at Pingyang.

時術忽以使事在上黨，崔氏急即抱幼子禎以詭計自言於將，將信之，使軍吏書其臂出之。 Shuhu was away on mission in Shangdang at the time. Lady Cui quickly took her young son Zhen, used a ruse to present herself to the general, won his trust, and had a clerk mark her arm so she could leave the city.

崔與禎伏土窖三日，得免，既與術忽會。 Lady Cui and Zhen hid in an underground cellar for three days and escaped capture, then rejoined Shuhu.

未幾，術忽以病亡，崔年二十九，即大慟柩前，誓不更嫁，斥去麗飾，服皁布弊衣，放散婢僕，躬自紡績，悉以資產遺親舊。 Before long Shuhu died of illness. Cui was twenty-nine. She wailed bitterly before his coffin, swore never to remarry, cast off fine adornments, wore plain black cloth in shabby dress, dismissed her servants, spun and wove with her own hands, and gave away all her property to relatives and friends.
