The aroma of cooking filled the house: I sent my eldest brother to become the Grand Secretary.

After everyone in the Shen family put their belongings in their own rooms, Shen Cao went to her eldest brother's house.

"Big brother, how's the packing going?"

Shen Chen didn't have much luggage to begin with, and he had already packed it all up.

"It's almost done. Sister, what's up?"

Shen Cao looked at his older brother with a smile and a mysterious expression.

She had just secretly checked, and Shen Yu'an was indeed very efficient. He had done everything she had asked him to do, and even did many things she hadn't thought of.

"Brother, I've prepared a special gift for you today as we're moving."

Shen Chen was a little puzzled. His younger sister had been with him recently, so when did she prepare a gift for him?

Besides, it wasn't a holiday or his birthday, so the fact that his younger sister would prepare a gift for him really surprised him.

Actually, Shen Cao only thought of this gift after being reminded by Shen Yu'an.

That day, Shen Yu'an asked her how to allocate the six side rooms in the house. She calculated that there was one room left.

Shen Yu'an then reminded her that her older brother loved reading, so didn't he need a study?

So she immediately asked Shen Yu'an to turn the outermost room on the left into a study.

Shen Cao led Shen Chen to that house.

The rest of the Shen family had also finished getting ready and were touring the courtyard. They watched as Shen Cao mysteriously led his eldest brother to a deserted room, and they all followed.

As soon as Shen Chen entered the room, he froze on the spot.

The younger sister had actually prepared a study for him.

The study was filled with bookshelves, and the desk was fully equipped with writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones.

He walked to the bookshelf and looked at the books on it. It was clear that the books had been carefully prepared and were all the books he needed.

Many of them were books he had previously been reluctant to buy.

He turned around, his hand trembling slightly as he took Shen Cao's hand, "Little sister, you..."

Shen Cao looked at her older brother triumphantly, "How about it, are you satisfied, brother?"

"Satisfied! Satisfied! Satisfied!" Shen Chen said "satisfied" three times in a row; he was extremely satisfied.

He ran to the desk and touched this and that with his hands.

This brush wasn't the kind of Huzhou brush he'd been reluctant to buy before, and the inkstone and ink were all high-quality items.

He was extremely excited. He had only ever seen such a study in his dreams, but now it was actually in front of him.

He ran up to his younger sister and asked her to pinch him. "Little sister, pinch your big brother so I can see if I'm dreaming."

Shen Cao pinched her older brother. "How about that? Now you believe it, right? This isn't a dream."

Shen Chen's eyes reddened. "Big sister, I don't know how to thank you enough."

Shen Cao patted her older brother's arm. "Big brother, studying has always been your dream, and supporting your education is our family's top priority."

“Our family can forgo buying a new house or new clothes, but we cannot prevent you from going to school.”

"The only thing your sister can do to help you is to provide you with a good learning environment; everything else is up to you."

Shen Chen was deeply moved, but he also felt a little guilty. He had previously thought that his family would prevent him from going to school because they couldn't afford to eat.

Hearing his younger sister's words, he suddenly realized that he had narrowed his perspective.

"Brother will study hard, pass the imperial examinations, and bring honor to you and the Shen family."

“Brother, don’t feel any pressure. Studying is your dream, but it’s not a shackle. I don’t want my brother to become a bookworm because of studying.”

Shen Chen understood what his younger sister meant. She didn't want him to feel burdened, but he didn't feel it was a burden. With such a family, how could he feel burdened?

Wei Siyu, standing to the side, looked at Shen Yu'an, who already knew, and said, "Don't tell me you already knew this."

Shen Yu'an fanned himself with his jade-bone fan. "Not only did I know all along, but I was the one who reminded Shen Cao about this. I also personally oversaw the setup here. What do you think?"

Wei Siyu clenched her fists. "Why didn't you take me with you when you did this!"

"forgotten!"

After Shen Cao came out of the study, Shen Yu'an asked him mysteriously, "How was it? Are you satisfied with what you did?"

Shen Cao bowed very formally to Shen Yu'an, "Thank you, Brother Shen."

"Don't thank me yet, there's more!"

Shen Cao looked completely bewildered. "What else?"

"follow me."

Shen Cao and the rest of the Shen family followed Shen Yu'an toward the kitchen.

Upon entering the kitchen, a look of surprise appeared on Shen Cao's face.

The kitchen had been cleaned up again.

All the items were replaced with new ones.

Moreover, the partitioning is more reasonable than before.

"Wow! This is the kitchen layout I've been wanting to change!" Shen Cao looked at Shen Yu'an in surprise, wondering how he knew how to arrange the kitchen more reasonably.

Shen Yu'an seemed to see Shen Cao's confusion. He opened his jade fan, fanned himself a few times, and then slowly said, "I asked the previous owner about this beforehand. He told me."

“I figured he’d lived here for years, so he must know how to renovate the kitchen.”

"I didn't expect it to actually be the right thing to do."

Shen Cao was really happy. She had originally planned to spend time revising it, but she didn't expect Shen Yu'an to think of these things before her.

Shen Yu'an never expected that a young master from a prominent family would be so meticulous. He had only frowned slightly when he looked at the kitchen earlier, and the young master had actually noticed that there was a problem with the kitchen layout.

Shen Cao then turned her attention to the food preparation area in the middle, looking at the kitchen knife on the table.

Rows of neatly arranged kitchen knives of all kinds were displayed, and the craftsmanship of these knives was clearly that of a master craftsman.

In her previous life, Shen Cao also had a hobby of collecting knives. What chef doesn't love kitchen knives?

She originally planned to use the set of masterpieces she had collected before, even though she felt a little reluctant to part with them.

Seeing what Shen Yu'an had prepared for her, which was not much different from the collection of the masters in her previous life, she once again marveled at the wisdom of the ancient working people.

"Shen Yu'an, I'm so happy! Thank you for the gift, I love it."

Wei Siyu watched the smug Shen Yu'an from the side and wanted to punch him. Was he even a brother anymore? He didn't even bring him along when preparing a gift for Shen Cao. He didn't even remind her, leaving her to go to the door empty-handed without thinking.

Shen Yu'an sensed the murderous aura beside him and could even hear Wei Siyu gritting her teeth. He quickly waved his hand at Shen Cao, "You're welcome, these are nothing."

"By the way, Brother Wei said he would help you prepare all the seasonings available on the market, but since you haven't moved them over yet, they're just left at home for now."

Upon hearing that there were even seasonings, Shen Cao immediately walked up to Wei Siyu and formally bowed to him, saying, "Thank you very much, Brother Wei. I love your gift very much."

Wei Siyu scratched the back of her head, returning the greeting apologetically, "You're too kind, it's nothing."

Fine, I'll let Shen Yu'an off this time.
