compensation to the mortal world, drenching the earth with several heavy downpours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cracked farmlands of Wozi Village were soaked, followed by the uplifting news that the imperial court had sent an imperial envoy to provide drought relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Wozi Village and its surroundings were affected by the drought, the situation was not extremely severe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The farmers whose crops had died could go to the Government Office to collect new seeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This significantly relieved many of them, and they rushed to get the seeds for planting without waiting for an auspicious date.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, planting earlier would mean not missing the harvest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu made a special trip to the town to get the latest news and went to Hundred Treasures Silver Building to confirm the various reports with Shopkeeper Lin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shopkeeper Lin, heeding Wen Congrui’s words, was very keen to entice Wufu and therefore did not hold back any information he knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu was mildly relieved upon learning that many of the refugees were gradually returning home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In recent days, although no major incidents had occurred in Wozi Village, theft and burglary were not uncommon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her family, too, had been visited by petty thieves, but they were all driven away by Wufu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, these incidents had frightened Madam Zhou and the others considerably—they were, after all, women and children without a man to protect them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, hearing that the authorities had stepped in to suppress the bandits among the refugees, their days filled with anxiety and burden were, after all, considerably better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, this is the Thank-you Gold from Merchant Liu,” Shopkeeper Lin handed a purse to Wufu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard that the official greatly admired the seal and praised it enthusiastically.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu accepted the purse without embarrassment, opened it to look inside—there were Silver Fragments, but she did not examine them closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took out two or three Silver Shells and handed them to Shopkeeper Lin, “Thank you for making the trip.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shopkeeper Lin was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could react, Wufu tossed another one to Jin Xi, “Jin Xi, you’ve provided me with quite a bit of mung bean soup these days, this is for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Xi caught it instinctively, his face beaming with joy, “Thank you, Miss Wufu.” He hadn’t expected Miss Wufu to be so generous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither had Shopkeeper Lin, considering Wufu wasn’t from a prestigious family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with her giving away, one Silver Shell was worth a tael—a sum not easily earned by an average family in a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even among their employees, like Jin Xi, the monthly salary was only Eight Hundred Qian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You girl, you didn’t have to reward me,” Shopkeeper Lin said, amused and bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu laughed, “Anyway, this is the extra Reward from Merchant Liu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s all get rich together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That statement was indeed down-to-earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shopkeeper Lin glanced at Jin Xi’s exuberant expression, looking almost ready to call Wufu ‘auntie,’ and thought to himself that she was good at winning people’s hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then thank you very much,” Shopkeeper Lin pocketed the silver, asking, “Miss Wufu, what are your plans now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu looked at him sideways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know you have ambitions and do not wish to work as a craftsman in our store, but with your skills, even our young master admires them greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be a pity if you refuse to work,” Shopkeeper Lin said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, we’ve got some fine jade that we’d like you to carve.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shopkeeper Lin, I’m somewhat lazy by nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if I’m willing to do it, I’ll work according to my mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can you wait?” Wufu asked with a raised eyebrow and a light laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good craftsmen are hard to find, and precious Jade Carvings are even rarer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it’s good quality, what can’t we wait for?” Shopkeeper Lin replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’re willing, even if it’s just a few small Jade Ornaments to start with, that would be worthwhile.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“About the price…” Wufu hesitated slightly as she lightly tapped on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As long as you’re willing to craft, the price is negotiable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I believe the Jade Carvings produced from your hands won’t let down their value,” Shopkeeper Lin said, stroking his beard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was then that Wufu smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>",714,"2026-06-05T19:25:17.772Z",1,"novelbin.me","2cc8fc9d8f759c8262941ab39133b0d249d83162e720e99f4efabc4a7f71ae87","doted-by-the-regent-king-chapter-182","doted-by-the-regent-king-chapter-180",1685,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdoted-by-the-regent-king-cover.jpg"]
