Li Zian accompanied the two sisters to choose Buddhist beads, and then sent them back to the temple before leaving alone.
Shen Yunhui held the safety buckle prepared for Bao'er in her arms and the Buddhist beads she picked out for Ping Niang in her hand. She said with great satisfaction: "Master Shizi is such a kind man. I used to think that he always had a stern face and was cold." It’s hard to get close to him, but I didn’t expect him to be so cordial in private.”
Shen Tianshu thought to himself that he is still cold and unapproachable to others.
When the two returned to the temple, it was almost time to finish their meal.
Mrs. Shen had already gotten up, but she still asked someone to tell her that everyone could eat in their own rooms.
After hearing this, Shen Yunhui followed Shen Tianshu to her meditation room without thinking.
While the two sisters were out, Mingyu had already tidied up the entire house.
Not only have the bed covers in the inner room been replaced with ones brought from home, but the incense burner and tea sets used by Shen Tian Shuping every day have also been placed in the outer room.
As soon as Shen Yunhui entered the door, she praised: "Sister Mingyu is really capable, but next time you go out, you'd better remember to bring a hand stove for eldest sister.
"It's getting colder every day now. My eldest sister is already weak and her hands are always cold.
"Just now we went shopping, and my eldest sister felt her hands were cold. Fortunately, there was a hand stove in the store and I lent it to her to warm her hands."
Mingyu was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously reached out to touch Shen Tianshu's hand. It was indeed a little cold.
She immediately blamed herself: "Girl, this slave is too negligent. I will prepare one for you right now."
"No need!" Shen Yunhui said with a smile, "We met the prince just now. The prince said that he would send someone to give eldest sister a hand stove in the evening."
Shen Tianshu didn't expect that Shen Yunhui would speak so quickly and actually say this in front of the servant.
Mingyu immediately showed a knowing look and said with a smile: "Then I will have to thank the Crown Prince profusely."
"Okay, we're hungry after walking around, let's go pass some dinner!"
Living in a temple, the only food you can eat is vegetarian food.
Fortunately, Tian'en Temple is very flexible in this regard and is not too strict with pilgrims in the temple.
It is only forbidden to kill animals and not eat any five pungent foods, so even though they are vegetarian, the taste is still quite good.
After eating dinner, Shen Yunhui began to become visibly sleepy.
Shen Tianshu said: "It's been a tiring day today, go back early and rest!"
"Sister, would you like to accompany me to the old lady's room?" Shen Yunhui came up and hugged her arm.
"What are you going to do? Didn't the old lady send someone to tell you that you don't have to go through?"
"I want to put the safety buckle on Bao'er, but I don't want to go by myself." Shen Yunhui clung to Shen Tianshu and said coquettishly, "Sister, can you just go with me?"
Shen Tianshu had no choice but to get up and accompany her to the old lady's meditation room.
Aunt Liu said: "Eldest girl, third girl, the old lady and the eldest gentleman have all rested. You two must be tired today. Please come back to say hello tomorrow morning!"
Shen Yunhui looked a little disappointed when he heard this, but she didn't dare to insist on going in, so she could only pull Shen Tianshu's clothes from behind.
"Mommy, we just want to come over and see the nurse." Shen Tianshu said, "The child is too young. It's his first time going out. I'm afraid that he will recognize the bed and that the wet nurse won't be able to coax him.
"Don't worry, we will do it quietly and won't disturb grandma and the elders."
These words really touched the heart of Nanny Liu, and she was indeed worried about whether Bao'er would cry when he went to sleep.
The temple is small and the walls of the meditation room are thin.
If Bao'er cries, the rooms of Mrs. Shen and Mr. Shen will definitely be affected.
So after hearing what Shen Tianshu said, Grandma Liu immediately happily whispered: "Sure enough, the eldest lady is thoughtful. You two can come in with me."
Baoer slept almost all the way in the carriage today, so he was still not sleepy until now, and was being played with by his wet nurse!
Shen Tianshu stepped forward and took the baby from the wet nurse's arms.
Feeling the familiar breath, Bao'er immediately became happy and grabbed it with his two little hands in the air.
Shen Yunhui stretched out her finger to tease him, but he immediately grabbed it.
"Oh, our baby's little hands are really getting stronger and stronger!"
Shen Yunhui held her brother's hand, took out the safety buckle braided with red rope from her arms, put it on his wrist, and tightened the buckles at both ends.
Shen Tianshu said to the wet nurse: "This is the safety buckle that my sister specially bought for the baby. It is priceless and is to keep the baby safe.
"You must not take it off at will. If it is accidentally lost or broken, I will sell you a hundred times and I will not be able to afford the compensation. Do you understand?"
"Yes!" The wet nurse and the maids all agreed.
"You guys go down first, eldest sister and I are watching Bao'er." Shen Yunhui waved her hand to reject everyone, and then she couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into laughter, "eldest sister, you are really good at bluffing people, if it weren't for me that the money was I would have been deceived by you even if I did it myself!"
"I'm not lying." Shen Tianshu said, "A hundred taels of silver for a safe buckle of this quality is not even enough to pay for it, let alone take it home."
"It's just that the shop owner has some connection with the prince, and it's just for his sake. To charge you a hundred taels of silver is almost like giving it to you for free!"
"Ah?" Shen Yunhui opened her mouth in surprise, "How much does it cost?"
Although she and the original owner were both treated harshly by Xu, they were still different in the end.
After all, Shen Tianshu is still a legitimate daughter. She still holds the dowry left by Liu Yaxuan in her hand. She has really seen good things used.
But Shen Yunhui was a concubine, and her aunt was a maid in the Xu family's house. She could only tell that the things were very good, but she couldn't tell how ugly they were, let alone how much they were worth.
"When I went back to look for the handkerchief, I found out about it by accidentally overhearing the prince talking to the shop owner, but I didn't know exactly how much it was worth.
"You just need to remember that this thing is very valuable. If anyone asks about it, just say that you brought it back because of fate, and don't mention anything else."
Shen Yunhui nodded repeatedly: "Sister, I understand."
Shen Tianshu played with Bao'er for a while, put the child to sleep, and then quietly left with Shen Yunhui.
It was already very late now. After going out, the two of them separated, one on the left and the other on the right, and went back to their respective residences.
Shen Tianshu returned to his Zen room, opened the door and entered the room, and realized that something was not right in the atmosphere in the room. He turned around and saw Li Zian sitting at the Eight Immortals table.
"Is it possible that the prince really personally delivered the hand stove?" Shen Tianshu smiled and greeted him.
Li Zian held the hand she extended to him, but there was no smile on his face. He said in a deep voice: "A pregnant woman suddenly fell ill in the temple. The monks in the temple knew nothing about gynecology, and the host had no choice. In the end, he could only ask for help. When you get to my place, is it convenient for you to go over and take a look?"
