The answer to Section 8 is unsatisfactory

As soon as she took off, she placed the incense burner on the carriage and couldn't help but ask, "Miss, what do you need this incense burner for?"

Her voice was extremely low, and when she sang solo, it went unheard. However, for Liu Zhanggui, it was like a bolt from the blue; he exclaimed, "What?" He had followed Master Cao for many years, merely considered a subordinate, yet had never been recognized as a disciple, which he had always regretted. He had asked Master Cao why he was unwilling to accept him as a disciple, but Master Cao had always evaded the question.

The lone figure stood outside the hall, observing that there were still a few guards patrolling the courtyard. Manager Liu was so meticulous; although this was a pawnshop, the items that could be taken here were considered to be at the level of a safe in a vault in this era. He secretly pondered that the Cao family was wealthy and powerful, and generally, they would not place much value on gold and silver. What kind of treasure could be so significant that it warranted Manager Liu's utmost attention?

Cao Ning'er saw the old man and did not waste any words, directly saying: "Shopkeeper Liu, my third uncle asked me to inquire if there is any news regarding that matter"

Women not only enjoy challenging other women, but they also take pleasure in perplexing men, often presenting them with bizarre dilemmas. For instance, there was an ultimate conundrum in his era: if a woman were to give birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and complications arose, the doctor would say that saving both children would result in their deaths, saving the girl would ensure her survival but the boy's fate would be uncertain, and saving the boy would lead to the deaths of both the mother and the daughter. At this moment, your mother would threaten to jump into the river, compelling you to choose to save the boy. How would you make your decision?

Flying solo is a bit nerve-wracking

After Cao Ning'er had the package set down by Manager Liu, she suddenly said: "Manager Liu, let Shan Fei go along to take a look as well"

It is not like that. When she is clear-headed, this woman is truly intelligent, but when she is confused, she is utterly unreasonable. I mean to say, let's put the land deed with the young lady. If something unexpected happens later, how about I run away to draw the pursuers away?

I thought this incense burner had the fate of a star, requiring popularity to thrive

Cao Ning'er moved her cherry lips, intending to say something, but ultimately only said: "I am leaving"

If an ordinary servant were to hear this question, the answer would undoubtedly be to protect the young lady at all costs

Is it really appealing for me to lie there like a corpse? I thought to myself.

Manager Liu was taken aback; a pawnshop was undoubtedly a novel concept in the city of Xudu. His keen insight had earned him the trust of Master Cao, and he had been overseeing this pawnshop. Over the past few years, he had indeed nurtured several outstanding subordinates.

Could it be that... this young lady... Cao Ning'er felt a surge of anger in her heart; in fact, no woman would be pleased to hear such an answer. Before she could think much further, Dan Fei said: "Because I know that the young lady will definitely transfer those swords and blades onto me"

Cao Ning'er discerned what Shan Fei was thinking and slowly said: "I am here, so my elder brother certainly would not dare to act against you openly"

Cui'er had been following the two of them closely. Since the young lady did not get into the carriage, she naturally waited by the side of the carriage as well. When Cui'er heard the young lady ask such a question, her jaw nearly dropped.

"I am asking you a question." Cao Ning'er, seeing Shan Fei silent and unresponsive, could not help but urge, as her question was on the tip of her tongue. She was aware that there was a bit of an issue, but for some reason, she wanted to hear the answer.

Manager Liu glanced at Dan Fei and lowered his voice, saying: "Miss, may I have a word with you in private"

His archaeological skills are quite good, but he has always lacked research on women, simply because, in his view, women are not only unrelated to antiques but also represent something new, constantly evolving every minute.

She got into the carriage, and the flush on her face gradually faded. She heard Dan Fei outside the carriage say: "Miss, while it is easy to dodge a direct attack, it is difficult to guard against a hidden one. Those people know that the land deed is in my possession, and they might come to seize it. How about this: why not let you stay in the carriage?"

But that thin and weak young man, dressed like a servant, looks several years younger than the third young master. How could he possibly be so favored by Master Cao?

In his era, it was not uncommon for the wealthy, whether behind or even in front of them, to engage in open and covert struggles among their own family members. What has changed over time is merely the passage of time, while human nature remains constant

I want ... ... '' Finally, Dan Fei smiled and said: `` I will turn around and run. ''

Perhaps Danfei does not understand the significance of Master Cao San taking on disciples, but Manager Liu is well aware of its meaning. He knows that if this matter were to spread, it is likely that half of the people in Xudu would change their attitude towards this person.

What is wrong with the aloof young lady today

Of course, Dan Fei is aware of the relationships between Cao Cao, Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Hong. The loyalty of Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong to Cao Cao is evident in historical records. However, isn't everyone risking their lives for the sake of fame and fortune?

Cao Ning'er did not think any further. Seeing Shan Fei still in silence, she felt both amused and exasperated, saying: "A grown man, being so indecisive and hesitant."

Cao Ning'er nodded, signaling Shan Fei to stand outside the pawnshop, while she and Manager Liu entered the main hall. Manager Liu went into the counter enclosed by wooden railings, took out a key to unlock an iron cabinet, and gently opened a small package from the top compartment.

If a somewhat scheming young master were to hear this question, he would undoubtedly respond: "I would rather sacrifice my life than allow you to suffer even the slightest harm; in my heart, you are more important than the entire universe"

Cao Ning'er suppressed a smile as she received the land deed handed over from the car window. Seeing him lift the package containing the incense burner again, she said softly, "Put the incense burner in the car."

Your words truly worry me, as I think about flying solo with a furrowed brow

"Are you asking them to come and rob me? Don't you have the courage to do that?" Cao Ning'er pouted.

This is indeed understandable

Only the graceful figure of Cao Ning'er stood in front of that small package. Shan Fei, lacking the ability to see through, could only see Cao Ning'er shaking her head and then nodding. Eventually, Shan Fei gave up on the idea of figuring it out. Before long, a guard hurried in and approached Manager Liu, saying: "Liu Lao, someone is pawning an item."

He adheres to the principle of being low-key, but it seems that in the presence of this young lady, as long as he is not buried in a coffin, he must be prepared to be cut down at any moment

Cao Ning'er blushed and lightly scolded, "Mind your own business. Get in the car and let's go"

The pawnbroking industry is currently quite niche, with few people aware of it and even fewer knowledgeable insiders. After training by Xiaosan, his keen eyesight is already considered quite good, so Liu Zhanggui naturally feels at ease letting him go out to identify goods. However, what does it mean for the young lady to insist on accompanying him?

As one ages, thoughts naturally multiply. Manager Liu hesitated, and upon seeing this, Cao Ning'er smiled slightly, "Manager Liu, it's not that I don't trust you, but this is the person chosen by my third uncle, who intends to take him as a disciple. I want to see his abilities."

"You need to mind your own business!" Cui Er scolded from the carriage.

What? Cao Ning'er almost fainted, and she received such an answer when she didn't want to go solo. Is this guy even a man?

The Cao Family Pawnshop is a standalone establishment, occupying a considerable area. Two stone lions stand guard at the entrance, and upon seeing the young lady's carriage approach, one of the guards immediately stepped forward to welcome her, escorting Cao Ning'er into the courtyard

Men trust their eyes, while women trust their ears

The carriage jolted, and Cao Ning'er felt a surge of emotions. Although she was flying solo, her feelings were tumultuous. She recalled what the young lady had said earlier: with her by her side, Cao Fu would be fine. But what should she do when the young lady is not around? Surely, she could not sleep in Cao Ning'er's boudoir.

Cao Ning'er did not pay attention to the troubles of flying solo, and pondered: "As for that Xiahou Heng, he is a scoundrel, yet he does not dare to openly confront the Cao family in Xudu. You may not know this, but although the Xiahou family is loyal to the Minister, they still wish to suppress my father because they are of a different surname."

A young man responded and stepped out from the back hall, of medium build, with a dark complexion, walking towards the front hall.

As soon as Cao Ning'er entered the pawnshop, an elderly man came out to greet her, smiling and saying, "Miss, please come in."

Manager Liu furrowed his brows and waved his hand, saying, "Let him wait, do not let him in to disturb the young lady." After a pause, he instructed, "Lu Feng, you go out and take a look." As he spoke, he carefully put away the package, gently placing it back into the cabinet.

This phrase, which is quite distasteful in the minds of many men, happens to be very much liked by women when they hear it

In that era, one managed to escape this issue by sheer luck, but little did they expect that while they could evade the first day of the month, they could not avoid the fifteenth.

The coachman cracked his whip, and the horse-drawn carriage slowly moved forward along the long street. Cao Ning'er sat inside the carriage, peering through the gap in the curtain at the solitary figure following alongside. She thought to herself, I asked you to place the incense burner on the carriage, and you have less burden now; why not even utter a word of thanks? Truly lacking in manners. In an instant, the young girl chuckled silently, wondering what was wrong with her; what difference did it make whether he expressed gratitude or not?

What have you been doing this morning

Cao Ning'er chuckled softly, her earlier annoyance having long since dissipated. Aware that the mention of flying solo was a reference to the earlier incident, Cao Ning'er explained, "I handed the land deed to you just now because, as a woman, it wouldn't look good for me to be entangled with them. Who knows if my elder brother might come and snatch it away when he gets riled up."

Many men choose to jump into the river themselves

Having traveled this far, I was anxious about going solo, but fortunately, I arrived safely at the Cao Family Pawnshop.

"Miss, what is the point of explaining all this to a servant?" Cui'er murmured, unable to bear the soreness in her feet.

This is not a topic between a young lady and a servant
