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.

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."
