ExclusiveTraditional Chinese Tales：The Pastry Seller

The Pastry Seller
During the Qing Dynasty, there was a cabinet official. When he was young, every time he went out to school and passed by the market, he would buy a few pastries from an old pastry seller to eat. One day, when he went to buy pastries again, the pastry seller suddenly decided to close the shop. Instead of selling him pastries, the old man invited him to sit down and said, "I see that you have a clear mind and a noble demeanor, not an ordinary person. I’d like to invite you to participate in some event. What do you think?" He asked what it was, and the pastry seller said, "Please stay here overnight. You will know tonight."
