You see, this was Shen Yunxi's purpose in coming back. Of course, she hoped Shen Leyi would take action, otherwise she would have a hard time dealing with her.
Cai'er remained silent. She knew some things and had even been involved, but she couldn't say anything now.
Upon hearing Shen Yunxi's words, Zhizhi immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that Miss knows what's going on. I'm not worried anymore."
"Don't worry, it's not just Shen Leyi who's going. I'll have the chance to participate this time too. It's time for me to get out and about." Shen Yunxi thought about some of the activities at the Lotus Viewing Festival. She also wanted to live a more exciting life, and she wouldn't make things difficult for herself.
"Sister!" A cheer came from afar.
Shen Yunxi smiled brightly, "It's my brother. Let's get ready and go for a walk outside the manor today. I'll take my brother to buy candied hawthorns."
Of course, it's not just about buying candied hawthorns; Shen Yunxi also wants to buy other things for Shen Anyu, as she is now eager to make amends to him.
Just then, Shen Anyu, dressed in a brown brocade robe, ran happily into the front hall, her smile undisguised.
"Little sister, I'm here!" Shen Anyu ran straight to Shen Yunxi's side, looking down at her.
Shen Yunxi took out a handkerchief and wiped Shen Anyu's sweat. "Brother, don't worry, I won't forget. Look how sweaty you are. Alright, let's go. Let's go out and buy candied hawthorns. If there's anything else you like, I'll buy it for you too. Let's make you happy today."
Shen Anyu was very happy, "Great! Buy lots of delicious food!"
Looking at Shen Anyu's expression, Shen Yunxi suddenly felt a little envious of him. A little food could make him so happy. It was so good to have no worries, but it also made her feel sorry for him.
The brother and sister went out together, and since they wouldn't be walking for long, Shen Yunxi didn't take a carriage. Besides, carriages weren't very convenient in the market.
Walking through the market, people could easily spot Shen Anyu's differences, and all sorts of gazes were directed at him.
Shen Yunxi remained calm and didn't care about the stares. In her opinion, her brother's happiness was the most important thing. They weren't bothering anyone by walking on the street. People with intellectual disabilities don't have to be locked up at home. They can walk in the sun and be happy on their own.
Before long, Shen Anyu's hands were full of delicious snacks. He ate as he walked, and the smile on his face never faded.
Originally, Shen Yunxi wanted Shen Anyu to sit down and eat, not because she was worried that he would embarrass her, but mainly because she was afraid that he would choke while eating while walking.
To her surprise, Shen Anyu watched her eagerly as she wanted to eat, so Shen Yunxi didn't force him. She let his wishes take precedence, as long as he was happy.
After visiting five or six shops, Shen Yunxi bought Shen Anyu several sets of clothes and some fun things, which made Shen Anyu very excited.
After finishing what he was eating, Shen Anyu quieted down considerably and obediently followed Shen Yunxi.
"Is there anything else you'd like to eat, brother?" Shen Yunxi asked.
Shen Anyu touched her slightly protruding belly and said, "I'm full, I'm not eating anymore."
"Okay, then let's not eat. Let's take a walk now," Shen Yunxi said, her gaze falling on a jade shop not far away.
It is said that jade can protect people and bring them peace. Shen Yunxi happened to see a jade shop and thought of buying a piece of jade for Shen Anyu to protect him, hoping that he would be safe and well.
Shen Anyu didn't understand these things, but he would go wherever his sister told him to go; he listened to his sister.
Upon entering the jade shop, the shop assistant greeted them, "Miss/Sir, please come in."
Perhaps because he was good at reading people, the waiter noticed Shen Anyu's difference at a glance, but he did not show any other expression.
Seeing this, Shen Yunxi was also very satisfied and immediately nodded, "Okay, take me to see some jade pendants for protection. I'll buy one for my brother."
The waiter's smile grew even brighter. "Miss, this way please. I'll take you there right away."
Shen Yunxi agreed and, together with her two maids and Shen Anyu, followed the waiter upstairs to the second floor.
The waiter explained as we walked, that the items on the first and second floors were not much different, except that the first floor sold large decorative items, while the smaller items were all on the second floor.
Hearing him say that, Shen Yunxi quickly realized that if larger ornaments were placed on the second floor, they would be more likely to cause problems going up and down. It would be much more convenient to place them on the first floor to sell or give them away.
In that sense, the owner of the jade shop was quite clever; the other party certainly knew how to make arrangements.
Before long, the waiter led Shen Yunxi to a cabinet on the second floor. He took out a tray with about ten small jade pendants on it.
"Miss, look, these are perfect for protection. They're all lucky bags, gourds, and safety buckles, and the jade pendants are of good quality too," the waiter said.
Shen Yunxi nodded, "Okay, I'll take a look."
Since entering this jade shop, Shen Yunxi has found that the shop assistant is very clever. He is good at reading people's expressions and his selections are also very suitable.
As a result, Shen Yunxi became even more curious about the owner of this jade shop. The other party really had a business mind, and the name of the shop also sounded pleasant, called Ruyi Xuan.
Shen Yunxi focused her gaze on the tray and immediately spotted a carved lucky bag. The carving was exquisite, and the jade was translucent with a hint of purple.
Generally speaking, purple has a very auspicious meaning, representing good fortune coming from the east, and also has auspicious connotations.
"Waiter, could you please take a look at this?" Shen Yunxi said.
The waiter immediately agreed, "Alright, I'll get it for you to see. Don't worry, all the jade items sold at Ruyixuan are of good quality, with excellent clarity, and definitely not cheap."
As he spoke, the waiter wrapped the jade pendant in a silk handkerchief and handed it to Shen Yunxi with both hands.
Shen Yunxi was somewhat surprised. The waiter's actions were truly unexpected, yet also very tactful.
However, she was clearly not here to see the waiter or the shop today. Having decided to buy something, she naturally focused on the item itself, and her gaze fell on the jade pendant.
After a careful inspection, Shen Yunxi found that there were absolutely no impurities, and she was very satisfied.
Shen Yunxi didn't need to worry about money. She didn't have many expenses in the past, and the Empress Dowager always gave her many gifts, so buying a piece of jade was no problem.
Moreover, Shen Yunxi also has her own shops, which are managed by Lan Pei's confidants, and she earns a considerable amount of money every month.
"Waiter, please put this away for me. I'll take this jade pendant, and then I'll look at the jade hairpin. If there are any other ones I like, or anything nice, I'll buy them together," Shen Yunxi said.
The waiter immediately agreed, "Alright, I'll get you the jade hairpin right away."
At this moment, the waiter brought out another tray with about ten jade hairpins on it. The styles were quite novel and the workmanship was very exquisite.
It's clear that the owner of this jade shop understands women's preferences quite well, especially those of young women.
If possible, I'd like to get to know the boss behind this.
