Transmigration: A Farm Girl’s Brocade

Qian Manjiang sat with Lady Wu on his left and his stepmother on his right, while Qian Yeejin stood leaning against him.

Qian Yixiu took a seat next to Cheng Yue. She saw that Cheng Yue was wearing a gold chrysanthemum hairpin inlaid with jade and jade drop earrings, jewelry that she hadn’t purchased.

Qian Yixiu complimented, "Mother’s jewelry looks beautiful."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yue touched the hairpin and smiled, saying, "Mother also thinks they’re beautiful. These were bought by Brother Jiang."

Qian Yixiu didn’t say anything, thinking that the jewelry she had bought for her in Capital City was much more beautiful than this.

After hearing the conversation, Qian Manjiang hurriedly took out a purse from his bosom and handed it to Lady Wu, saying, "Mother, here are five hundred taels in silver notes and some silver. Take it for household expenses."

Lady Wu tried to give it back to him, saying, "There is money at home, keep it for yourself."

Qian Manjiang insisted, "It is a son’s duty to support his family, and yet I have been away for many years and have neglected to do so. Please take this money, Mother, otherwise, I will feel even worse."

Lady Wu then accepted it.

Qian Manjiang also gave Qian Sangui half a pound of bird’s nest and two taels of ginseng, Lady Wu a shrimp whisker gold bracelet, Qian Yeejin a jade pen holder, and Qian Yixiu a red gold yingluo ring. He added, "I’ve already given the jewelry I bought for my sister. In addition, I also bought a jade mouth tobacco pipe for grandfather and a gold bracelet for grandmother. They both gave up their burial savings when I left, and I’ve always remembered their kindness."
