Dengtu Zi

Shan Qihuan didn’t expect to see Shen Yuhan being so clever and eloquent1伶牙俐齒 (líng yá lì chǐ): clever and eloquent (idiom); fluent; having the gift of the gab; have a glib/nimble/ready tongue. for the first time and it was actually to defend himself.

There’s someone defending himself, Shan Qihuan was also not left behind, seeing the Second Madam wanting to to curse but couldn’t, he suddenly felt funny, it was so easy to shut someone up.

“Aunt Fang, I won’t bother you with our family matters, you’d better take care of Qibai first.”

After saying that, he took Shen Yuhan into the car.

Each time the Second Madam, Wen Fang, met Shan Qihuan, she always says a few words, because he was the person who least liked to talk to them from the first house, the less he liked to talk to them, the more Wen Fang talked more and more energetically, she never thought that Shen Yuhan would appear out of nowhere, and make her speechless2啞口無言 (yǎ kǒu wú yán): dumbstruck and unable to reply (idiom); to be speechless in response to being interrogated or refuted; at a loss for words; be left without an argument; be left/rendered speechless; be dumbfounded., simply to make her angry to death!

His mouth is so vicious at such a young age, simply, simply have no family education!

Wen Fang was so angry that she directly dragged Shan Qibai, who was talking to Shan Qiyun, over: “Your mother is being bullied, and you still have time to laughing and joking here!”

Shan Qibai said without a care in the world: “Wasn’t this because of your unforgiving words, how can someone bully you?”

Wen Fang pointed to the three people, Shan Qihuan, Shen Yuhan, Shan Qixin, who were about to get on the car: “These few of them!”

Shan Qibai said: “Mom, please calm down for a while, Shan Qihuan is not a threat, they didn’t say anything wrong, in ancient times, we’re just the side house.”

Wen Fang probably would have been angered into a corpse by her own son, rather than being angry to death by others, how could she have such a stupid son, even if that’s right, they couldn’t admit it!

Wen Fang hated iron for not becoming steel3恨鐵不成鋼 (hèn tiě bù chéng gāng): lit. to hate iron for not becoming steel (idiom); (figurative) to feel resentful towards someone for failing to meet expectations; to be impatient to see improvement; wish iron could turn into steel at once—be anxious for sb to improve; regret that sb does not live up to one’s expectations., but Shan Qiyun came over and asked: “What did they say?” He was inside, and saw Shen Yuhan say something, which made Wen Fang angry.

Wen Fang was also accustomed to making trouble, and directly dragged everyone into trouble: “Shen Yuhan said that we are the people from the side house!”

Shen Yuhan didn’t just poke a bee, it’s a hornet’s nest, was she the only one in the side house? There’s three.

If word of this gets out today, Shen Yuhan will have offended all three of them.

Shan Qiyun said: “Aunt Fang, are you sure it was Yuhan who said that?” Isn’t it just you?

“Heh, what’s the difference? Aren’t your mother and I the same? He scolded me as well as your mother.” What Wen Fang poke was Shan Qiyun’s filial nature, she might have another ally in the future, Duan Qiuhui was smart, but her son could still instigate her.

“Is that so?” Shan Qiyun turned to look at Shan Qihuan and others, only to see Shan Qihuan opening the door for Shen Yuhan, Shan Qihuan was so kind to him?

It’s fake, isn’t it?

Shen Yuhan change his affection4移情別戀 (yí qíng bié liàn): change of affection, shift of love (idiom); to change one’s feelings to another love; to fall in love with sb else; to turn one’s back on one’s lover and develop affection for another; to have a new sweetheart; change one’s affection to another person. so quickly?

Even though he thought so, but Shan Qiyun still wouldn’t catch up and ask, he was just a man who failed to pursue him and instead married his half-brother, it’s not worth his thoughts.

But what charm does Shen Yuhan have that makes Shan Qihuan not even go to the club? He missed an opportunity to mock him for no reason.

After leaving the Shan family, and leaving all the disputes behind, their ears became much quieter.

Shan Qixin took a taxi back from the airport, so of course he had to take his brother’s car when he went to Shan Qihuan’s house.

It was quite novel to meet the new sister-in-law for the first time, especially his amazing words, the Second Madam, who had always been full of sarcastic skills, was stunned5目瞪口呆 (mù dèng kǒu dāi): dumbstruck (idiom); stupefied; stunned; gape goggle-eyed and dumbstruck—be flabbergasted., he just saw the Second Madam change her face, and he almost laughed in his heart.

That was true, they had never thought of this before.

Shan Qixin, who was sitting in the back row, was very interested in this sister-in-law, who had a bad reputation.

“Sister-in-law, what you said today is so awesome, it’s exactly the same as what is written in our costume dramas, I didn’t expect it to be performed here again, as expected, art comes from life, sister-in-law, how did you come up with it?”

Shen Yuhan was suddenly praised by his brother-in-law, and he didn’t know how to explain it for a moment, he didn’t think there was anything wrong with it, it was quite normal. However, it is now in modern times, he should be cautious in his words and deeds6謹言慎行 (jǐn yán shèn xíng): to speak and act cautiously; to be discreet in word and deed; watch your step and mind what you are saying; be cautious with one’s words and actions; be discreet in word and deed., but he can’t bear to hear other people say weird7陰陽怪氣 (yīn yáng guài qì): eccentric; peculiar; passive aggressive; mystifying; Describe attitude quirks, cold words, unpredictable. things about his husband, Shan Qihuan will take care of women’s face, but he is his wife, and naturally wants to protect him.

Just as he was organizing his words, Shan Qihuan said: “If you watch ethics dramas at home every day, you can also recite the lines of costume dramas backwards and forwards8倒背如流 (dào bèi rú liú): lit. to recite fluently in reverse order; to know by heart (so well that you can recite it backwards); be able to recite sth backwards fluently—learn sth backward and forward; know sth very well., you read the scripts every day, you’re not as good as Shen Yuhan, an audience member.”

His husband helped him explain, Shen Yuhan breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that he could use the TV series to explain his behavior, he learned it, thanks to the TV series and his husband.

Shan Qixin, who was in the back row, rarely heard his third brother talk about others in such an intimate but not greasy tone, only when they lived together can they appear so intimate, is his third brother interested in Shen Yuhan?

“Are you mocking my sister-in-law for watching dramas at home every day or are you mocking me for not filming costume dramas? Nowadays, all the costume dramas are about the female lead, the most I can do is play the female lead’s younger brother or a dandy9紈絝子弟 (wán kù zǐ dì): hedonistic son of rich parents; profligate son of rich parents; fop; dandy; playboy; Fine silk pants; Young man in gorgeous clothes; In the old days, it refers to bureaucrats, landlords and other wealthy and powerful people who eat, drink and play all day long, and do not do their jobs., how about, Third Brother, why don’t you invest in a costume drama for me, Immortal Sword10仙劍 (xiān jiàn): Immortal Sword; The Legend of Sword and Fairy., wuxia11武俠 (wǔ xiá): wuxia (genre of fiction); A genre of East Asian fiction concerning the adventures of martial artists, typically set in Ancient China., or zhaidou12宅鬥 (zhái dòu): romance story about love struggle, wife and concubine fighting for favor, family success, heirs struggle, and so on; Zhaidou is usually rich family like merchant, officials, etc., success or failure may only be a personal honor or disgrace, or the rise and fall of a family., I can do anything, let me be the male lead.”

“If you think the money is easy to make, why not come to my company and work for a while first.” Shan Qihuan said.

“Third Brother, you are the stingiest person in our family, every time the eldest brother and second sister see me, they ask me if I have enough pocket money, you are the only one who wants to spoil my young mind every day.” He sighed for a moment, and he took Shen Yuhan with him, “Third sister-in-law, didn’t my brother very stingy and never gave you any pocket money.”

Shen Yuhan wholeheartedly protected his husband: “He’s not stingy, he give me pocket money.”

Shan Qixin: “That’s right, didn… Give it? Give it!?”

Shen Yuhan turned back to Shan Qixin and said: “He give it.”

When he turned his head, Shan Qihuan happened to look over, he saw a little pride in his eyes.

Shan Qixin was very unwilling: “How many zeros are given, my third brother is so stingy.”

Shen Yuhan has quietly learned the Arabic numerals 1-10, he knows the meaning of zero, but he doesn’t count it.

He tell it as it is13實話實說 (shí huà shí shuō): to speak the truth; to call a spade a spade; to tell it as it is; speak the plain truth; speak frankly.: “I didn’t count it.”

Shan Qixin automatically summed up Shen Yuhan’s words as, his third brother was really stingy and only gave a little bit, Shen Yuhan was too embarrassed to tell him.

Shan Qihuan said helplessly: “Shan Qixin, do you want to sleep on the street or at my house tonight? If you keep talking, I’ll let you off now.”

His good image was almost ruined by his mouth, he didn’t know if Shen Yuhan would ask him for more pocket money tomorrow.

If he did, would he give more or not?

On the way home, the atmosphere in the car was quite harmonious, Shan Qixin sat in the back seat and replied to his message, while Shen Yuhan looked at the road at night.

There are street lights everywhere, as bright as daytime, pedestrians on the road doesn’t need to turn on their lights, there’s also couples pushing baby strollers out, there are old people dancing on the roadside, there are young people who set up a stall on the roadside to sing, there was also the fragrant smell of roadside snacks, when their car was waiting at the red light, Shen Yuhan could smell the deep-fried smell outside.

It turns out that this is the night of the modern people, the real city that never sleeps.

He asked Shan Qihuan curiously: “Husband, can we go out to play at night?”

“Bar?” Shan Qihuan’s eyes cooled slightly, he thinks that his heart is itchy and he misses the past nightlife.

Fortunately, Shen Yuhan didn’t turn around, otherwise he would have seen the displeasure in his husband’s eyes, he pointed outside and said: “I don’t want to drink anymore, I want to watch them sing and dance.”

They passed by a square, this side is a commercial street, there will be many people out for a walk in the evening, walking their children, walking their dogs, doing square dancing, performing arts, and selling snacks.

Shen Yuhan also saw someone holding a bunch of colorful14五顏六色 (wǔ yán liù sè): multicoloured; colourful; variegated; of many colors; every color under the sun. floating dolls, his eyes lit up, he wanted one too.

Shan Qihuan said: “I’ll take you there next time, it’s far from home and it’s not convenient to come here, other squares are also similar, and not as crowded as here.”

Shen Yuhan pointed out of the window: “Can you buy that for me?”

Shan Qihuan leaned over and said: “Which one?”

Shen Yuhan: “That one floating up there, it’s so colorful.”

Shan Qihuan: “Childish or not, those are balloons only bought for children to play with.”

“I want it, the girl over there also bought one.” Shen Yuhuan looked at the balloon longingly, he had only seen sky lanterns before, but not this kind of balloon that can float up without fire.

“Let’s talk about it next time.” No one can compare to Shen Yuhan when it comes to childishness.

Shan Qixin, who was sitting quietly in the back row, silently stopped typing, when did his third brother become so easy to talk to?

When getting off the car, Shen Yuhan couldn’t find the safety buckle because it was his first time in a sports car, so he had to ask his husband for help.

“Husband, I can’t open it, please unbuckle it for me.”

“You don’t even know how to undo the safety buckle.”

“Arent’ you here.”

“Just know how to use me.”

“I didn’t.” Shen Yuhan really couldn’t figure it out.

“Okay, get out of the car.”

Shan Qixin heard this conversation between his brother and his sister-in-law, he couldn’t help but look at his third brother, this look was a model of a good husband.

After arriving home, Shan Qixin didn’t treat himself as a guest at all, after entering the house, he rushed to the third floor to pick out the latest suit in his brother’s cloakroom, as expected, his third brother’s wardrobe was the ideal wardrobe for a man.

When Shen Yuhan saw that he was very familiar with this15熟門熟路 (shú mén shú lù): familiar door and familiar road—things that one knows well; to know something very well; to be very familiar with something., he curiously asked Shan Qihuan: “Husband, our family is not short of money, why does brother-in-law still ask to borrow clothes from you?”

Shan Qihuan patiently explained: “He is going to a dinner party, so he couldn’t wear what he had worn before, and he wanted to save face and didn’t want to borrow someone else’s, there was no need to buy a set for just one event, so he would occasionally ask me to borrow.”

Shen Yuhan: “What does he do?”

Shan Qihuan: “Actor, filming.”

“Doesn’t filming make money?” Shen Yuhan knew that being an actor now is also a profession, unlike the old days when opera singers were looked down upon, nowadays, there was no distinction between the poor and the noble.

“There shouldn’t be much money.” In Shan Qihuan’s eyes, Shan Qixin really doesn’t make much money filming a movie, in the Shan family, this income is considered poor, and he has to be supported by his family.

It turned out that his brother-in-law is so poor, Shen Yuhan nodded, maybe he was as poor as him?

After going out today, they were exhausted physically and mentally, tomorrow is a new week, both Shen Yuhan and Shan Qihuan chose to take a bath and rest.

Shan Qixin, who always goes to bed late, ran to his brother’s room at eleven o’clock in the evening to look for him, and found that the room was empty, as if no one had been living in it for a long time.

He thought he was in the study, but it turned out that there was no one in the study either.

It wasn’t until the next morning, Shan Qixin got up and saw his brother and Shen Yuhan coming out of the same room that he understood!

It turns out that this is how Shen Yuhan was given his pocket money!

In the morning, Shan Qixin’s manager personally drove over to pick him up, it wasn’t the first time he had done so, so he was equally familiar with it.

As soon as he got out of the car, he saw a beautiful woman standing in the yard and smelling the flowers in the vase.

A flash of surprise flashed in the manager’s eyes, and he quickly took out a business card: “Beauty, are you interested in becoming a star?”

The beauty was so frightened that they splashed the water from the vase on his face: “Ah! Dengtu Zi16登徒子 (Dēng tú Zǐ): Dengtu Zi, famous lecherous character in the story Dengtuzi Haose Fu 登徒子好色賦 (Dēng tú zǐ hào sè fù) by Song Yu. More information Link 1, Link 2; lecher; skirt-chaser.!”

Shan Qihuan, who just stood on the balcony to watch Shen Yuhan change the water for the flowers: “…”

After swearing without using any curse words last night, Shan Qihuan saw the more ferocious side of Shen Yuhan again today.
