Ji An's mother and the matriarch of the Ji family. She grew up in the Qianxiu Xiufang of Chiling Xian and learned the essence of Suxiu embroidery. She married Ji Zhongming at sixteen and became extremely concerned with her reputation after he became a Xiucai. She is quick-handed, sharp-eyed, and frugal, never misspending a copper. She has friction with her youngest daughter-in-law Huangshi and dotes on her only daughter Ji An, teaching her to hold needles at age two.
