《后汉书·列传·列女传》
袁隗默不作声，不能使妻子理屈，帐外听的人感到惭愧。袁隗既宠贵在当时，马伦也有名气。
夫云妇德，不必才明绝异也；妇言，不必辩口利辞也；妇容，不必颜色美丽也；妇功，不必工巧过人也。清闲贞静，守节整齐，行己有耻，动静有法，是谓妇德。
Yuan Wei was speechless and could not argue with his wife. Those listening outside the tent were ashamed. At that time, Yuan Wei was a favourite and Ma Lun was also well-known.
