《颜氏家训·治家篇》
齐国的吏部侍郎房文烈生性宽厚，从来不发怒。经过很多天的下雨之后，家里没有粮食了，派遗了他家的婢女去市场上买米，但是这个婢女就趁机逃跑了，大约过了三四天，才将地擒拿回来。
齐吏部侍郎房文烈，未尝嗔怒，经霖雨绝粮，遣婢籴米，因尔逃窜，三四许日，方复擒之。
Fang Wenlie, the Minister of Official Personnel of the Qi Dynasty, was kind in nature and never got angry. After many days of rain, he ran out of food at home and asked his maid to buy rice in the market. But the maid took the opportunity to run away and was not captured until three or four days later.
