Transmigrated Little Farm Girl Bringing Great Fortune

Winter morning.

The sunlight shone down, dispelling the chill of winter.

Jiang Zijin served her mother tea and water. At this time, she was still too weak and could only rely on her mother to please her father and maternal grandfather.

He even had to please his maternal grandfather's legal wife.

Even though my mother's stepmother was favored by my maternal grandfather, she was still a concubine, and most of the gold, silver, land deeds, and real estate in her possession were given to her by my maternal grandfather.

Even with all the love and favor he received, he was still not as wealthy as one-tenth of his legal wife.

The power to manage the household still remained in the hands of the unfavored principal wife.

As for her father, Jiang Yunze, he has always loved her dearly, both in her past life and now. He has repeatedly advised her not to come to Jiangzhou with her mother and has also written to her many times urging her to return to the capital.

He even considered registering her under his stepmother's name.

Even if the Lu family agrees, she will only be the legitimate daughter in name only.

Marrying into a noble family is barely acceptable, but to enter the royal family and become the principal wife of a prince is harder than climbing to heaven.

She was unwilling; she was resentful.

She wanted her father to have a smooth official career like in her previous life, her mother to become the rightful wife of a high-ranking official, and her to become the legitimate daughter of the high-ranking official's family.

Only then would one be qualified to stand beside the Crown Prince.

My mother has only lost some money; she hasn't actually lost anything.

Money can be earned back.

Moreover, there is someone she is waiting for in Jiangzhou.

In the past few months, her memories of her past life have become increasingly clear in her dreams.

Then I suddenly remembered something.

In her previous life, the Crown Prince had told her that he had spent some time in Jiangzhou when he was young.

If I'm not mistaken, his residence must be in this Wuyi Lane.

After making inquiries over the past few days, she has narrowed her focus to the three houses across the street.

Directly opposite is a small three-courtyard house. To the right of the small courtyard is the Cui Mansion, with the two large characters "Cui Mansion" on the plaque, leaving no doubt about its authenticity.

The plaque above the large house on the left reads "Cao Mansion".

The Cao family was the maternal clan of the Empress.

Can’t be wrong!

Ever since Jiang Zijin remembered this incident, she felt like she had been injected with adrenaline, and all her previous unhappiness vanished.

It must be that heaven is looking out for her.

Qi Caiwei, wrapped in a thick cloak, leaned against the chaise longue, without any makeup, her lips devoid of color.

Looking at her daughter sitting beside her, serving her medicine, she felt a pang of sadness.

She regretted her stubbornness and her determination to compete with Lu Qingyao. In the end, Lu Qingyao did not fall, but she lost everything.

She couldn't figure it out.

Why did she lose money in the same deal, while Lu Qingyao was unharmed?

Why?

Without her dowry, she can no longer offer filial piety to her mother-in-law every month. Who knows what that old hag will say about her to her husband!

She needs money right now, she really needs it.

We need to find a way to make up for the shortfall in the dowry as soon as possible; otherwise, even without Lu Qingyao, it will be difficult for her to gain a foothold in her husband's family.

Then look at my daughter.

Even at a young age, she had already blossomed into a beautiful and charming young lady, her appearance a combination of her husband's and her own best features, making her one of the most outstanding noble ladies of her age in the capital.

Their elegant demeanor seemed innate, as if they didn't need to be taught.

Even the usually strict Granny Gong often praised her.

What moved Qi Caiwei the most was her daughter's obedient and filial piety, who was willing to give up the prosperity of the capital to be with her.

It wasn't for nothing that I loved her so much.

Jiang Zijin would not allow her mother to continue down this path of despair.

After sending Granny Gong away, she finally spoke, "Mother, you must pull yourself together. You absolutely cannot let that Lu family outdo you..." This matter is very strange, and Lu family must have been involved.

“Mother, the weather is nice today. Let me accompany you for a walk. Yipinju has your favorite roasted mutton. We can also pawn some jewelry to get some money…”

It will probably be about a month before the money arrives from the capital.

The daily expenses of the mansion and the monthly wages of the servants are a considerable expenditure.

Also, if you want to make money, you have to spend money first.

"What, as jewelry?" Qi Caiwei suddenly sat up.

How could she be so poor that she had to pawn her jewelry!

Jiang Zijin stroked the white jade bracelet on her wrist, gritted her teeth, and took it off.

This was a gift from her father last year. It is flawless, with a smooth and lustrous texture; it is a fine and excellent item.

She had many different styles of bracelets in her vanity box, but this one had the best water content.

"Take it back. Isn't this your favorite bracelet? There's no need for your jewelry. Your mother has plenty of jewelry too." Qi Caiwei put the bracelet back on her daughter's wrist.

Upon hearing her mother's words, Jiang Zijin happily took it back.

She served her mother a cup of tea before slowly saying, "Mother, I've actually thought of a way to make money..."

"What method?"

The little girl pursed her lips. "Mom, you can't blame me if I tell you..."

"Tell me first!" Qi Caiwei took the teacup and looked at her daughter with expectant eyes.

“When we came to Jiangzhou, didn’t many wealthy merchants and officials’ families want to befriend you? You declined to see them all. Now… why don’t you meet them?” Jiang Zijin said cautiously.

Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position.

But they were now in a dead end and didn't care which way to go.

Qi Caiwei was taken aback. Merchants were the lowest class of people, and she used to disdain associating with them. Now she had to swallow her pride and deal with them.

It's really frustrating.

But they had no other choice, as they had plenty of money.

And then there were the families of officials from Jiangzhou, eagerly crowding around her, bringing gifts, all just wanting to show off in front of their fathers.

After all, which family doesn't have a son who wants to enter officialdom and take the imperial examinations?

Before she came, her father had written to warn her to be careful, but it was common for officials' wives to interact with each other.

Why can't she go?

Qi Caiwei was unwilling to give up. After thinking for a moment, she called over Aunt Mei and said, "From now on, don't refuse any banquet invitations directly. First, find out about their family background..."

"Yes, Madam, this old servant understands." Mei Gu also wanted her young lady to gather the dowry as soon as possible, otherwise, when they returned, the head of the family would tear her apart.

When a master makes a mistake, the first to be affected are those who serve him.

Even her wet nurse, who had raised her, was no exception.

Seeing her mother cheer up, Jiang Zijin smiled and said, "Mother, let's exchange the money and make two sets of clothes!"

Such banquets are not for making friends.

She had to project the airs of a noblewoman to intimidate the other women.

The mother and daughter began to dress up and get ready to go out.

After days of feeling dejected, Qi Caiwei felt like she smelled terrible. She needed to burn incense, bathe, and change her clothes before she could go out...

Jiang Miaomiao was also dressed up nicely.

Obediently reached out to put on her clothes.

She was still wearing a red padded jacket, but it was more formal than what she usually wore.

The beauty lies not in the pattern itself, but in the design. Several koi fish were embroidered on the jacket, hand-stitched by Sister Qiao'er.

She had two little buns on her head, tied with a hairband that matched the color of her hair and her jacket, making her look even more delicate and charming.

Mother, Aunt Xiuxiu, Auntie, and Sister Qiao'er also tidied themselves up, changed into colorful new quilts, and applied a little makeup, shedding their former village woman appearance.

Qiao'er was also wearing a red ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) with a white cloak over it. Combined with her pretty face, she looked exactly like a rich young lady.

Indeed, clothes make the man and a saddle makes the horse.

Although they are all made of cotton, they look much better than usual.

Xiao Miaomiao thinks her mother has excellent taste, choosing clothes in colors and styles that suit their different ages and personalities.

The makeup and hairstyle are also simple yet sophisticated.

She wasn't wearing any jewelry, just a few simple silk flowers, and she looked much prettier than usual.

My aunt is dignified, Aunt Xiuxiu is spirited, and Sister Qiao'er is charming...

Lu Qingyao was a little nervous, after all, this was the first time in her life that she had dressed up someone other than her daughter and herself.

In the past, maids and servants served her when she dressed and did her makeup. She only knew how to do these things from memory.

Xiuxiu usually wears her hair in a high ponytail, and she's too lazy to even dress herself up, let alone dress up others.

Before this, the only time she had ever dressed up was on her wedding day, when she wore a red dress and had exquisite makeup.

Even her husband could hardly recognize her anymore.

"Mommy, is it ready yet?" Little Miaomiao looked at the dawdling adults; she was getting impatient.

No child dislikes going to the market...
