The attic has all the information about the past and present, and I became rich by becoming a trader

After saying that, without waiting for Zhu Zhe's reaction, Song Youan turned around and walked quickly towards the main entrance.

"Song..."

Zhu Zhe's words were stuck in his throat, but when he saw Song Youan walking away resolutely without looking back, he swallowed his words back.

"Third brother, was there something wrong with what I did just now?" Zhu Zhe frowned and asked Zhu Lin.

Zhu Lin shook his head: "I don't think so. Miss Song may really not want you to be too polite, second brother. Maybe it's a polite refusal."

Zhu Zhe curled his lips. This was not a polite refusal, it was clearly a resistance.

Perhaps it was just as my third brother said, that as an unmarried man, it was not appropriate for him to give gifts to a woman. Even if it was to express gratitude, he was afraid that it would be misunderstood.

I guess Miss Song is doing this because she is avoiding this.

"Cuizhu, it's going to rain today. Go and give Miss Song an umbrella so she won't get wet on the road." Zhu Zhe said.

But when Cuizhu chased to the gate of the marquis' mansion with a flowery paper umbrella, Song Youan had already disappeared.

People on Chang'an Avenue walked hurriedly, as if they all had a premonition that it was going to rain. Song Youan was the same, and she just wanted to get back to Youanju as soon as possible.

As a result, the weather of the plum rain changed suddenly. Before we were halfway there, the rain came pouring down, coming quickly and violently.

People on the street screamed and hid in the shops on both sides. Seeing this, Song Youan also followed suit and hid in the nearest shop.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stopped at the porch at the door, he was recognized by someone at a glance.

"Miss Song?"

Someone poked his head out of the shop door, looked at Song Youan with some surprise and said, "You're here!"

Song Youan was stunned when she saw the man, because he was one of the people who blocked her in Vanity Fair Lane yesterday.

"Is this the Full Moon Building?"

Song Youan stared in surprise and said innocently, "I just came here to take shelter from the rain."

"What a coincidence! Miss, it's better to do it today than to wait for another day. I don't think the rain will stop for a while. Why don't you come in and have a cup of tea to warm yourself up." The other party's warm greeting attracted envious glances from passers-by who were hiding from the rain with Song Youan.

Song Youan hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

Since the other party sent someone to block her at her doorstep, there must be something wrong. Although she had a feeling that it was not a good thing, she still had to solve it.

When acting in Dazhao, she had to try her best to avoid making enemies. After all, she had too many flaws and could not withstand the investigation and calculations of those with ulterior motives.

The Manyue Building has three floors in total. The first floor displays a variety of exquisite pastries, including common pastries such as osmanthus cake, mung bean cake, candied fruit dumplings, as well as some uncommon specialty products.

Manyuelou is very famous in Kyoto. I heard that the pastry chef came from the palace kitchen and served the emperor and the empress dowager.

The pastries here are all made fresh daily, with a focus on freshness. Popular items often require queuing up early in the morning to buy them, otherwise they will sell out quickly.

The second and third floors are private rooms used to entertain distinguished guests. Having afternoon tea at the Full Moon Building is considered a luxury for ordinary people. After all, it is considered the number one pastry shop in Kyoto.

Song Youan was brought to an elegant room on the third floor. The room faced the street, and the upturned window frames were half open. The sound of raindrops hitting the rubble made people feel inexplicably calm and cool.

"Wait a moment, young lady. Our shopkeeper will be here soon."

The man left these words and left Song Youan alone in the elegant pavilion, then walked out.

There were several plates of exquisite pastries on the table in front of her. Song Youan was a little bored, so she picked up a piece and took a bite.

The taste is pretty good, the texture is very delicate, with a light floral scent, and there is fruit puree as the filling inside, which has a very layered taste.

The Full Moon Tower is worthy of its reputation. In ancient times when there was not so much advanced technology, it took real skill to be able to produce such a finished product using purely natural techniques and flavors.

Soon, footsteps were heard from the corridor outside the door. The footsteps were soft and slow, as if...

As the footsteps approached, Song Youan subconsciously looked up at the door, and then saw a woman in a lotus-colored dress floating in.

Song Youan was stunned. She really is a girl!

"Miss Song, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Xin Xiangyu smiled, her narrow eyes slightly curved, which was very beautiful.

Song Youan stood up, looked at the other person uncertainly and said, "Are you Shopkeeper Xin?"

Xin Xiangyu nodded, raised her eyebrows and looked at her with a smile: "Why? Miss Song looks quite surprised."

Song Youan nodded without denying it. "I heard that the owner of Manyue Tower came from the palace kitchen. Are there women in the palace kitchen?"

Besides, Xin Xiangyu looks about the same age as herself. If she works in the palace kitchen, she should be far from being old enough to leave the palace.

"Young lady, you're talking about my grandfather. That was way back when." Xin Xiangyu casually sat down while she spoke, then raised her hand and beckoned Song Youan to sit down as well. "Man Yue Lou is now in my care. My skills have already surpassed my master."

Song Youan nodded in understanding after hearing this. Based on her first impression of Manager Xin, she had a pretty good feeling about him.

In Dazhao, any woman who has the courage and ability to stand in front of others is worthy of admiration, not to mention that she manages the Full Moon Tower so well.

"Did you scare me yesterday? Don't blame me, my two apprentices are stupid and could only think of such a shameless way to please me." Xin Xiangyu offered the fragrant tea with both hands and said with an apologetic smile, "I'll offer you a cup of tea as an apology."

Song Youan took the tea and said softly, "It can be seen that Shopkeeper Xin is a straightforward person. In fact, as long as you explain your purpose clearly, I won't object to seeing you."

The tea was too hot, so she didn't rush to drink it. Instead, she looked at Shopkeeper Xin and asked, "But I can guess that Shopkeeper Xin wants to see me. It should be about the snacks, right?"

Xin Xiangyu nodded as a sign of acknowledgement.

Song Youan's expression became slightly restrained, and he said softly, "Did I interfere with the business of Manyue Tower?"

"It's not that serious."

Song Youan felt relieved when she heard that. Suddenly, Xin Xiangyu showed a curious look and asked, "Miss Song, putting aside other things, I've always been curious about what kind of thing could sell for ten taels of silver?"

You know, Mangetsulou is a well-known pastry shop in Kyoto, and its quality and reputation are well-known to everyone.

The price is naturally not cheap, and there are many types that cost 100 coins each.

But over the years, Manyue Tower had never sold cakes for one or two taels of silver per piece, let alone ten or two taels of silver per piece.

Take the pastries in Man Yue Tower, which cost 100 coins each. Ten taels of silver can buy 100 pieces of pastries in Man Yue Tower.

She had been learning how to make pastries from her grandfather since she was young, and was very confident in her ability. So when pastries that cost ten taels of silver each appeared in Kyoto and were sought after by all the young ladies and wives, Xin Xiangyu was very confused.

She cared about this matter very much from the bottom of her heart.
