The attic connects the past and present; I became a tycoon and got rich overnight!

Chapter 107

On the 18th of the month, Song Youan prepared twenty cakes and came to the Minister's residence again.

When Song You'an saw the Minister's wife again this time, she appeared much calmer. Although she was inevitably flustered inside, she didn't nearly lose her composure like she did last time.

"Miss Song has prepared quite a few new tricks today."

Looking at the small cakes presented, the Minister's wife spoke with a smile, though her voice sounded somewhat hoarse.

"They all look pretty good."

“It looks delicious.”

The ladies nearby also praised him sincerely.

Song Youan nodded gently and explained with her head down, "It's been raining every day during the plum rain season these past few days, which has made people feel depressed. So I thought I'd make something new for the ladies to see, and hopefully it would cheer them up."

"Miss Song is very kind."

"It's rare for the sun to be out today. Listening to opera and enjoying cake is truly delightful, Miss Song... cough cough..."

The Minister's wife suddenly coughed halfway through her sentence. The nanny next to her quickly stepped forward to pat her back and said, "Madam, you should speak less. The doctor has already advised us to."

"Oh dear, I just heard the Minister's wife's voice sound a little hoarse. Is she still recovering from an illness?" Lady You asked with concern upon seeing this.

The other ladies also cast concerned glances their way.

The Minister's wife coughed for a while before stopping, then smiled helplessly and waved her hand, "Perhaps it's because of the continuous rain these past few days that I've accidentally caught some dampness in my body. It's just that the sun is out today, so I'm going to come out and get some fresh air. It's nothing to worry about."

"Madam, please take good care of yourself!"

"Yes, otherwise the Minister would be heartbroken."

His words made all the ladies and maids present smile. Everyone knew that the Minister and his wife were a perfect match, and their harmonious and happy story had been circulating in the capital for a long time, making people envious.

The Minister's wife seemed used to such jokes. Upon hearing this, she simply smiled and then looked at Song You'an to finish what she had just said: "Miss Song put in a lot of effort today, she deserves a reward."

"Thank you ma'am."

Just then, the opera troupe came on stage, and the ladies' attention was immediately drawn to them.

Song Youan cautiously raised her eyes to look at the Minister's wife. Although she was still recovering from a serious illness, she looked quite well. Her focused profile was exactly like her aunt's.

After only a few furtive glances, Song Youan's eyes welled up with tears again.

"Miss Song, shall we go with you to collect your reward and leave the mansion?" The nanny stepped forward and spoke softly at the right moment.

Song Youan composed herself, nodded, and followed the nanny out of the courtyard.

Lady Fuyang turned to look at Song You'an's departing figure, and finally sighed silently.

Having received an extra fifty taels of silver today, Song You'an couldn't help but ask the nanny on the way out of the mansion, "Nanny, how many days has Madam been ill?"

"She fell ill four days ago. We called a doctor to the manor that day, who said that dampness had entered her body and that she was already sensitive to cold, which caused her cough." The old woman sighed as she spoke, "Coughs are the most agonizing thing. She hasn't had a good night's sleep these past few days, and it wasn't until yesterday that she started to feel better."

For some reason, perhaps because she was thinking of her aunt, Song You'an felt a pang of heartache and anxiety upon hearing these words.

Unfortunately, she didn't know anything about medicine and couldn't be of much help.

"Who is Granny Li?"

At this moment, the two suddenly encountered a young man in brocade robes on the road. The young man was fair-skinned and handsome, and his dark blue brocade robes could not hide his noble air. He was curiously looking at Song You'an.

Song You'an stopped with Granny Li, who then bowed and addressed him as "Young Master." "Young Master, this is Miss Song, who has come to deliver cakes to the ladies of the manor."

Gu Yuanhuai nodded slightly upon hearing this, and looked at Song You'an, asking, "Are you the Miss Song who lives in You'an Residence?"

"Yes." Song Youan lowered her head, suppressing the urge to look up at the other person.

The Minister's wife looks exactly like her aunt. She is really curious whether the Minister's wife's son will also look like Tianpei.
"I've heard rumors circulating in various academies lately that Miss Song is developing that medicated oil?" Gu Yuanhuai approached and asked in a low voice, "Does Miss have a finished product yet? Could you sell it to me first?"

As he approached, a refreshing scent of pine resin filled my nostrils; it smelled wonderful.

Song Youan quickly said, "Young Master, don't worry, the medicated oil will be available in Kyoto soon."

She received a call from the factory this morning when she left home, asking her to pick up the goods; the first batch of medicated oil had already been produced.

"Is there enough?" Gu Yuanhuai asked worriedly. "I've heard that Miss Song's things are always in high demand, and I'm afraid I won't be able to buy any."

“Young Master, you’re overthinking it. There’s plenty of stock this time,” Song Youan said.

Gu Yuanhuai raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, and smiled, "Alright then, take care, young lady."

As they brushed past each other, Song Youan slightly raised her head and glanced at the other person sideways. Although it was just a quick glance, she managed to get a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

He was very handsome, but completely different from Tianpei.

For some reason, she felt a little disappointed.

After leaving the Minister's residence, Song You'an went to the Shande Medical Clinic.

"gone?"

Inside the clinic, Song You'an's eyes widened in shock upon hearing the young apprentice's words.

The young apprentice nodded: "She left the day before yesterday afternoon. Master originally wanted to keep the girl for a few more days to observe her, but the girl insisted on having her brother take her away."

"Has her illness been cured?" Song Youan asked.

She was unconscious when she was brought in that day, how could she recover in just a few days? Song Youan was a little worried.

The young apprentice pursed his lips: "Although she's not completely cured, she's fine now. Master told them that although they can leave, they must remember to come back for more medicine. That little girl still needs to finish all three courses of treatment."

No sooner had Xiaoyao finished speaking than Yuanbao appeared at the entrance of the clinic.

"girl?"

Upon seeing Song Youan, Yuanbao's eyes widened with joy, and he quickly ran over.

Seeing this, the young apprentice knew he had come to get medicine, so he went into the medicine station on his own.

Upon seeing Yuanbao, Song Youan immediately asked, "Why didn't you stay at the clinic a few more days? Where's your sister?"

Yuanbao explained, "She insisted on going back to recuperate because she knew that it would cost a lot of money a day at the clinic. She was afraid that we wouldn't be able to repay the girl in the future, so she wanted to spend less."

"But don't worry, young lady, I will listen to Grandpa Li and make sure Cai Cai drinks all three courses of medicine."

Upon hearing this, Song Youan sighed silently. She looked down at Yuanbao, whose face, though covered in dirt, couldn't hide his bright and clear eyes.

They are all people rejected by fate, yet they are so sensible at such a young age, which is heartbreaking.

"Don't rush off later, come with me somewhere," Song Youan said.

Yuanbao nodded without hesitation, and he would do whatever the girl said, because he wanted to repay her.
