Section 4 encountered an incident

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Housekeeper Dong pondered and smiled, saying, "Miss, you are too polite. Is one Danfei enough?" He turned his head to look back and saw Danfei walking out leisurely, standing quietly to the side, secretly frowning.

When the carriage had not yet moved, a maid came running, holding a heavy package in her hands. Seeing Shan Fei standing there without moving, she shoved the package in front of him and pouted, "Aren't you going to take it?"

"Butler Dong... San Fei is still not fully recovered. I heard you were coming today, so he is trying to hold on..." Deng Yi, sweating from his forehead, approached with a bow, just as he was about to explain for San Fei, suddenly opened his mouth wide, looking past Butler Dong in surprise, and exclaimed: "Miss?"

"What are you doing up so early?" Dan Fei sat on the bed, frowning and said, "Old Deng..."

"How would I know if you are unable to work and I am preparing to drive you away? Then you would be in a dire situation, with nowhere to retire," Deng Yi said pessimistically.

He has been here for some time, but this is his first time leaving the residence. Looking at the long streets and narrow alleys, the surrounding shops and buildings, there is a sense of familiarity within the strangeness and warmth within the familiarity

What is this young lady doing outside with a fragrant censer

Dan Fei let out a sigh, finally opened his eyes, and upon waking from his dream, he realized that he was no longer the master of the people, but rather a servant of the Cao family. The schedule of a servant is determined by the master.

As he jogged while admiring the scenery of Xu Du City, when Dan Fei felt his forehead starting to heat up, he suddenly saw a person darting out ahead, blocking the way of the carriage

Housekeeper Dong had considered this issue early on, and after seeing Dan Fei enter the attic, he spent the entire night pondering it. Since Dan Fei entered the Cao residence, he had been inconspicuous, unable to make any significant impact. So why did Master Cao seek him out?

The person standing outside the door has a delicate complexion, with pearly teeth lightly biting, and is turning her head to look aside; it is none other than Miss Cao Ning'er.

Is it an incense burner

"Solo flight." Steward Dong coughed lightly and said, "You worked hard last night, hurry up and get dressed to meet the young lady." Turning to Cao Ning'er, Steward Dong smiled and said, "Do you still not know what the young lady wants with Solo?"

Dan Fei walked with small steps while holding the package, fortunately, he did not possess the mindset of a servant, yet he had the physique of one. The cart was not moving quickly, but he did his best to keep up.

Yesterday, the young lady summoned Dan Fei, and unexpectedly, he entered and exited the attic where Master Cao San resides. Although in Dan Fei's heart, this was not a significant matter, to those with ulterior motives, this was certainly not an ordinary occurrence

In the early morning, Shan Fei was having a beautiful dream when he suddenly heard a loud bang at the door, followed by Deng Yi's booming voice, "Shan Fei, why are you still not up?"

This young man may have a promising future

How is it that this solo act is even more grand than that of the master himself

Just now, he overheard the conversation between Butler Dong and the young lady, and he was somewhat surprised to learn that the young lady was going to the pawnshop. He certainly knew what a pawnshop was; according to historical records, the pawn industry was documented during the Southern Dynasties, initially involving temples using clothing as collateral for lending. Some also say that the seeds of pawnshops existed as early as the Han Dynasty.

What happened at the pharmacy?" Cao Ning'er in the carriage spoke in a calm voice

After these days of getting accustomed to each other, I have learned a bit about Deng Yi's habits. This guy, despite looking quite weathered, particularly enjoys pretending to be younger, being even more particular about titles and age than women

At dawn, when the light began to brighten, Steward Dong encountered the young lady. The first thing she asked was about where Shan Fei was. Upon hearing this, Steward Dong immediately set aside his work and brought the young lady over. In their brief conversation, Steward Dong realized that the young lady knew even less about Shan Fei than he did, which made him feel that there was potential in this situation. He did not hesitate to say a few more words of praise for Shan Fei at the door.

Before he could think much, the maid had already taken her seat in the carriage's passenger compartment. The coachman cracked the whip, and the carriage exited the gate, proceeding along the alley towards the main street

Over the years, although the young lady has not been harsh on the servants of the Cao family, it is her first time personally visiting the place where the servants reside

Housekeeper Dong was also filled with embarrassment. Although there were other reasons for an outsider like him to become the steward of the Cao residence, discernment was clearly indispensable.

Butler Dong felt that if this young man had not been hit on the head by a door, he would surely have greeted him warmly or welcomed him with a smile befitting a butler. Instead, he was preoccupied with taking off his shoes and forgot to greet him. Seeing him with that foolish expression only made Butler Dong frown deeply.

Cao Ning'er furrowed her brows and said: "Today I will go to the pawnshop to take a look and inquire about some matters. I need someone to help me retrieve some items. Does the steward have other matters to attend to?"

This is somewhat unexpected for a solo flight, as I only thought that the maid was going to elope with him

The solo flight is somewhat unexpectedly delightful, leading one to wonder if this young man has been influenced by the poison of pension insurance, contemplating matters of the future at such a young age. Before he could ask further, a voice was heard from outside the room: "Miss, as for this person, he is quite diligent and his work is relatively efficient..."

The maid looked at him in surprise and asked, "How can you serve as a servant? If you do not take this, do you expect me and the young lady to carry it?"

Do you all not have hands? Can't it fit in the car?

With so many servants in the Cao residence, how could the young lady choose to single out Dan Fei

However, Dan Fei certainly understands the principle that it is better to have no book than to trust a book too much. The business of human lending and pledging likely began with the privatization of property, as everyone has times when they need to pawn items due to financial constraints, albeit varying in scale. In his view, investigating the origins of pawnshops is akin to a futile endeavor. Yet, upon arriving in the Three Kingdoms, he was unexpectedly delighted to encounter a pawnshop of considerable scale.

Flying solo, I secretly ponder that this era is filled with excessive formalities, still entangled in the cumbersome rituals of Confucianism. Slightly bowing my head and clasping my hands, before I could even speak, Cao Ning'er had already said: "Let's go"

The horse let out a soft neigh and suddenly came to a halt

As she set off on her own, a subtle stir arose within her heart. She was aware that the Cao family had built its foundation on the craftsmanship of Master Cao, a skill that was not rare in the era of the Three Kingdoms; it could even be said to have become quite fashionable. However, it was by no means something to boast about. For the Cao family to establish itself in Xuchang, it was evident that they needed to develop other industries as well. She had heard from Deng Yi that the Cao family's grain and medicine business was thriving, and the person who had come was clearly from the pharmacy. This young lady, knowledgeable and composed in her dealings, exhibited quite the demeanor of a strong woman.

"It should be called Xiao Deng," Deng Yi immediately corrected.

As expected, the man wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "Miss, you should quickly go to the pharmacy and take a look, something serious has happened..."

"Today is not possible." Deng Yi stepped closer and said, "Today, Steward Dong personally inquired about you and asked you to see him immediately."

Dan Fei pondered to himself, and finally took the package. It felt heavy and cumbersome, seemingly made of metal. He touched the shape of the object through the package and caught a faint fragrance wafting through, causing Dan Fei to furrow his brow.

Heaven has granted Dan Fei the identity of a servant, but he is destined to use it as an excuse to be lazy. These days, his injuries have mostly healed, yet he always uses this excuse to evade responsibility

I said, "Little Deng." After changing the way I addressed him, seeing Deng Yi's beaming expression, I smiled and said, "Aren't I sick? Isn't it too inhumane to just go about doing things like this now, as you used to talk to them?"

Of course, Butler Dong is aware of Master Cao San's position in the Cao residence, and he also knows that the vast family business of the Cao family is largely supported by Master Cao San. Recently, there has been some unfortunate news—Master Cao San's health has been deteriorating day by day.

The sudden departure took me by surprise, and the maid on the carriage already shouted: "Cao Xin, are you seeking death?"

The jacket has not been fastened properly, only one shoe is on, and with a rather lazy gaze, they looked over and said softly: "Deng Yi, this is ... ... "

What to do? The solo flight is quite unexpected

Is the young lady in the car? the person asked urgently

What will happen to the Cao residence if Master Cao San leaves

Haven't you met the young lady yet?" Butler Dong coughed lightly

She lightly moved her lotus steps and arrived first at the entrance of the residence, where a carriage had long been prepared. Cao Ning'er entered the carriage, and although she did not understand how to serve as a maid, she certainly knew that she could not share a carriage with the young lady. She sighed inwardly, thinking that her feet would have to endure more hardship again

As they spoke, a tall, winter melon-shaped person strolled in. Upon seeing Shan Fei, who was sitting on the bed, their eyes immediately appeared larger than watermelons.

Why isn't this fellow hitting the road

He seems to be highly regarded by the heavens; in that era, it was a coveted position to be a servant, and now his wish has finally been fulfilled

Robbery

Cao Ning'er noticed in the distance that some servants were pointing and whispering in this direction, feeling a slight annoyance in her heart. She cast a sidelong glance over, and those people hurriedly returned to their tasks, though they could hardly conceal their astonishment.
