漂母餉飯於韓信。終獲捧金之報（史記。漂絮也。韓信布衣時。嘗釣於城下。漂母每飯至。先餉於信。後為齊王。回鄉以捧黃金報恩於漂母也）。

The washerwoman provided food to Han Xin, and in the end received the reward of gold presented to her (Records of the Grand Historian: piào means washing silk floss; when Han Xin was a commoner, he once fished beneath the city wall; whenever the washerwoman's food arrived, she always gave some to Xin first; later he became the King of Qi, returned to his home, and presented gold to repay the kindness of the washerwoman).
