"Tao Hong, give them the silver."

"No, no, no, Your Excellency, we don't want the money. This is just a small token of our appreciation, nothing of value," someone among the people said, and others echoed.

Fang Ruotang's face darkened, and she said fiercely, "If you don't accept money, I won't take your vegetables. Humph, I won't take them from you anymore."

"My esteemed advisor, your wife has set up a longevity tablet for you at home, hoping that you will have a smooth and successful life."

"Yes, yes, you all take good care of yourselves!" Fang Ruotang waved her delicate white hand, grinned, revealing her tiny teeth, and said, "Everyone, go away, go away!"

Fang Ruotang's personality is well known to the people of the capital. Although she is the Imperial Preceptor, she is a simple and lovely young girl.

Most importantly, unlike the aloof scions of noble families who look down on ordinary people, she also introduced three new types of grain, and with the Crown Prince's vigorous promotion, she enjoyed high prestige among the people and was respected and admired.

Moreover, he never took a single needle or thread from ordinary people. Even if they secretly put things in the Prime Minister's residence, they could find them and return the money.

After this happened many times, the people stopped sending melons and fruits to the Prime Minister's residence, but if they happened to see them, they would still do it at least once.

They would use this as an excuse to start a conversation, and then when the Grand Preceptor sent his servants to pay the money, they would run away in a flash.

This has almost become a regular occurrence for Fang Ruotang whenever she goes out. Fang Ruotang herself enjoys it very much. After all, receiving so many compliments is something she is very proud of and worth showing off.

"Worship me, huh?" Fang Ruotang pouted, beaming with pride, when she saw Huo Zhige staring at her intently.

"I'm proud of you." Huo Zhige praised her sincerely, not just to please Fang Ruotang.

"uh-huh!"

Amidst the praise, Fang Ruotang straightened her small frame even more, her face beaming with pride.
