Section 5 will be a bit.
"You should think of a solution," Cao Ning'er urged
The transaction of the medicine hall is undoubtedly a significant matter, and Cao Ning'er truly cannot believe that such an event occurred without her permission
Although Uncle San did not say anything further and fell into deep thought, Cao Ning'er became increasingly resolute in her idea. As soon as dawn broke, she took Dan Fei to the pawnshop. On one hand, it was because there were indeed matters to attend to at the pawnshop, and on the other hand, she wanted to take the opportunity to see if Dan Fei truly had some skills.
I will obey, you are my grandson
Upon seeing this, the old man shouted sternly: "Ma Qiang, how can you..." Before he could finish his sentence, he pressed his hand to his chest and slowly fell down. The young man let out a cheer and snatched the box, but without even glancing at the old man, he turned to walk out of the hall, suddenly stopping in his tracks.
Cao Fu turned around and saw the old man, Uncle Fu, still lying on the ground. Cao Xin rushed over to help Uncle Fu up, calling out to him repeatedly, but Uncle Fu showed no signs of movement.
When Cui Er and Cao Xin were not responding, they heard someone say: "Miss, this patient cannot wait. Should I give it a try?"
How could she not know that if Cao Xinruo had a way, he would certainly take action? It is evident that in such a situation, she was anxious. Calling out a few times for Uncle Fu, and seeing that he still did not respond, she immediately turned her head and said: "Cui'er, go and invite the imperial physician from the palace. Cao Xin, you go prepare the prescription and medicine."
Cao Fu finally found an escape route and was about to rush out the door when he saw a servant standing in front of the door, holding a package as large as a door panel, blocking his way. Unable to contain his anger, he shouted, "You blind servant, why don't you get out of my way?"
Unexpectedly, the pawnshop had not yet arrived, and everyone had already reached the pharmacy. In a moment of helplessness, this lone ranger surprisingly claimed he could cure illnesses. Where did this kid acquire such skills?
He struggled to stand up without waiting to take a step, suddenly feeling a lightness in his hand, his expression changing drastically as he said: "Cao Ning'er, give me the box."
The carriage sped along, and before long, it arrived in front of the Cao's Medicine Hall. Cao Ning'er gracefully dismounted from the carriage and observed the bustling scene inside the hall, which was utterly chaotic. An elderly man with graying hair stood in the center, tugging at a young boy's sleeve, pleading earnestly, "Jiyuan, I beg you, this matter cannot be rushed. Please think it over again. Would it be alright to wait for the young lady to arrive before making a decision?"
Before he could finish speaking, he felt a weakness in his legs and suddenly sat heavily on the ground, covering his painfully reddened ears. Cao Fu exclaimed, "Cao Ning'er, what are you doing?"
In recent years, the world has been in chaos; however, since Emperor Liu Xie of Han relocated to Xudu and following the Battle of Guandu, Xudu has seemingly become the most peaceful and prosperous place in the realm. The Cao family, originally a prominent clan, has had Cao Hong engaged in battles for many years, yet he possesses considerable acumen. He has established numerous enterprises in Xudu, which are managed in an orderly manner by Cao Ning'er.
This solo flight may very well be a fluke
With a hint of guilt in her eyes, Cao Fu immediately hugged the box tightly and said, "Who says I don't care? I'm just going to ask a doctor for Uncle Fu."
Cao Xin remained silent, clearly indicating his acquiescence
Uncle San said that this person has a high level of knowledge about antiques, but Cao Ning'er felt a bit skeptical. As a household servant, he had few opportunities to study, and it was unimaginable for someone like him to have more insight than her, Cao Ning'er. The fact that he could identify the era of seven items was even more astonishing.
He hurriedly took a step back, but felt a sharp pain in his ear, only to be grabbed tightly by Cao Ning'er.
Cao Ning'er nearly fainted and after a long pause scolded, "You are confused; who dares to sell the pharmacy without my and my father's permission?"
Cao Ning'er lifted the curtain of the carriage, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, revealing that she was not as calm as she appeared on the surface. She knew that Cao Xin was the second manager at the pharmacy, known for his composed demeanor. His current state of panic suggested that matters at the pharmacy were undoubtedly complicated.
The young man appeared to be two or three years older than Cao Ning'er, yet his temperament was extremely fiery. He forcefully broke free from the old man's grasp and shouted, "Don't overestimate yourself. What young lady? In the Cao family, I am the eldest son, understand? Hurry up and bring the land deed."
Cao Ning'er noticed that Uncle Fu's breath was becoming increasingly weak and anxiously said: "I fear Uncle Fu may not last much longer. Is there any other way?"
Cao Ning'er also walked over briskly and said, "Cao Xin, how is Uncle Fu?"
"Cao Fu, stop right there," Cao Ning'er scolded.
I have a prescription, but it needs to be simmered for several hours. Cao Xin was sweating on his forehead
Everyone was taken aback, turning to look back, and saw that the person speaking was Shan Fei, which left them astonished
Cao Fu's expression changed slightly as he stared at the land deed in Cao Ning'er’s hand. He wanted to snatch it but dared not, so he forced a smile and said: "Isn't this just the medicine hall? Why do we need to invite a doctor? I think Uncle Fu..."
He was determined to take the land deed and leave, but it was evident that Cao Xin had already laid Fu Bo down flat, pinching his acupoint and calling out to him, yet Fu Bo showed no signs of movement, making it impossible to continue speaking.
Cao Ning'er, with a face as cold as ice, stepped forward and stared at Cao Fu, saying: "Cao Fu, how can you still have the face to ask me what to do? Are you even human? Uncle Fu has served the Cao family for so many years; even if he has no contributions, he has endured hardships. You made him faint from anger and just turned your back on him. Has your conscience been eaten by dogs?"
Cao Ning'er felt her cheeks flush as she realized that the servant was standing right beside her, merely a short distance away. It was evident that he was there to attend to her medical needs rather than to be disrespectful. With a soft "hm," Cao Ning'er stood up and took a step back
Cao Ning'er was both shocked and angry. Cao Fu was her elder brother, but he did not resemble an elder brother at all. He was well-versed in drinking, gambling, and all sorts of vices, yet he lacked common sense. Relying on the reputation of the Cao family, he flaunted himself in Xudu, causing considerable trouble for the Cao family. She held her elder brother in contempt and had always addressed him by his name without any respect. Now, upon hearing that Cao Fu had actually sold the pharmacy, she was nearly infuriated.
Upon seeing the situation, he immediately obeyed and took a step back. In his panic, he loosened his grip, and the package fell down.
Fortunately, in addition to his archaeological efforts to save cultural heritage, he also possesses knowledge of other legacies. As he extends his hand, his right hand has already rested on Uncle Fu's pulse point...
While speaking, a person resembling a servant hurried over, holding a box and exclaiming: "Young Master, the land deed has been found"
Let's have a meeting
"Miss, Uncle Fu... Uncle Fu seems to be in critical condition." Cao Xin held Uncle Fu's pulse and felt it was faint and barely perceptible, causing him to panic.
Cao Xin glanced around and lowered his voice, saying, "Miss... you will know once you go there." Hearing Cao Ning'er snort coldly, Cao Xin noticed the displeasure of the young lady and finally spoke up, "The Cao family's pharmacy has... been sold."
Cao Fu was taken aback; upon seeing the bundle, he immediately recognized it as an incense burner, which was an item that Cao Ning'er always carried with her. If it were to be dropped on the ground, it would surely leave a dent, and if it were to fall on one's foot, the consequences would be dire
"Go to the pharmacy first," Cao Ning'er decisively instructed. The coachman responded and turned south at the intersection ahead. Seeing Cao Xin following closely yet remaining silent, with a pale and grim expression, Cao Ning'er felt even more alarmed and asked through the window, "What exactly has happened?"
Cao Ning'er snatched the box with a swift motion and said coldly, "Alright, I trust you to go fetch the doctor. You had better pray that Uncle Fu is fine. However, if anything were to happen to him, I will recount every single thing you have done these past few days to Father!"
Standing in front of the hall was a person, and it was none other than Cao Ning'er, with her bright eyes wide open
Dan Fei walked over to Cao Ning'er, noticing that she was still staring at him in a daze. He smiled slightly and said softly, "Miss, could you please make way."
"Who sold it?" Cao Ning'er asked again. Seeing Cao Xin's hesitant demeanor, she felt a jolt in her heart. "Is it that rascal Cao Fu?"
She truly possesses an unexpectedly profound aura
Isn't this Uncle Fu dead from anger
"Be gentle." Cao Fu grimaced in pain and exclaimed, "Sister, please be gentle with me."
"Second Sister, you have come as well." The young man appeared arrogant, yet there was a hint of fear towards Cao Ning'er, as he hid the box behind him and feigned calmness, saying: "The chief steward seems to have fallen ill, you should hurry and take a look." As he spoke, he squeezed past Cao Ning'er.
Seeing Danfei approaching with the incense burner, Cao Ning'er found it hard to believe her ears. After a moment, she said, "You can still treat illnesses?"
She truly possesses an incredible talent
Only after flying solo did he arrive before Uncle Fu, sighing inwardly. From his perspective, it was evident that Uncle Fu had fainted due to a sudden heart attack. In his era, the quick-acting heart-saving pill was considered a relatively effective treatment method. However, discussing this now is of no use; by the time he researches the formula for the quick-acting heart-saving pill, the grass on Uncle Fu's grave might have grown several feet high.
