Fortunately, Shen Yuhan’s cold was not serious, after being held by his husband for a night’s sleep, he woke up the next morning without any major problems.
After living in Qi Kingdom for nearly twenty years, Shen Yuhan didn’t want to go out so much, firstly, he is not familiar with the new world, he didn’t have much contact with strangers from the outside world, the gender concepts he had received since childhood were stronger than those of modern people.
He can also arrange things in order1井井有條 (jǐng jǐng yǒu tiáo): everything clear and orderly (idiom); neat and tidy; in perfect order; systematic; in good/perfect order; shipshape; methodical. at home, make full use of the time.
Study in the morning, practice calligraphy and painting, or play qin and go in the afternoon, and occasionally chats with the busy Shan Qihuan, who take a short break2忙裡偷閑 (máng lǐ tōu xián): T/N: May or may not be a typo of the idiom 忙里偷閒 (máng lǐ tōu xián), to steal a little leisure from a busy life; to take a short break; taking some free time out of one’s busy schedule., on WeChat.
Before they know it, Christmas has arrived.
Shen Yuhan goes to the nearby vegetable market with Auntie Wang in the morning, he doesn’t feel nervous about buying things in the supermarket now, he has gone to the supermarket to pick fruits by himself several times, and even made a fruit salad3水果沙拉 (shuǐ guǒ shā lā): Fruit Salad. 
for Shan Qihuan one night.
On Christmas Eve, apples are sold everywhere, after Shen Yuhan inquired, he found out that Christmas is fixed on December 25th every year, and the night of the 24th is Christmas Eve, which is the holiday of Western Christians, and it was later spread to the East, young people who have received modern education all like to celebrate this holiday.
Today, the supermarket is playing jingle bells and Christmas songs, and when they enter, there are apples wrapped very exquisitely in small gift bags, sending apples on Christmas Eve means peace and tranquility, Shen Yuhan also wanted to bring good luck, so he bought a few, and gave them to everyone in his family.
Shen Yuhan’s spoils in the supermarket today are apples, when he got home, he deliberately put away the apple given to his husband, intending to give him a surprise, although his husband doesn’t celebrate, but the atmosphere still needs to be there, what other people have, his husband must also have.
Today, Shan Qihuan had a dinner party outside, and it was nearly nine o’clock in the evening when he came back, Shen Yuhan had already finished taking a bath and was leaning on the couch with a blanket reading 《Dream of the Red Chamber4紅樓夢 (hóng lóu mèng): Dream of the Red Chamber or The Story of the Stone is a Chinese novel composed by Cao Xueqin in the mid-18th century. One of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature, it is known for its psychological scope and its observation of the worldview, aesthetics, lifestyles, and social relations of 18th-century China. There is a drama adaptation of the same name, known as The Dream of Red Mansions.》, and when he saw Sister Lin crying while living under someone else’s roof, he couldn’t help but think of himself alone in the modern world, and he felt so sad that he cried along with her.
When Shan Qihuan returned home and found him in the study, he saw his wife wiping away tears while flipping through a book.
He remembered that he had only regarded 《Dream of the Red Chamber》 as a literary work to appreciate, and for the first time he realized that it was his wife who was moved to tears while reading 《Dream of the Red Chamber》.
But for Shen Yuhan, 《Dream of the Red Chamber》 is actually just a storybook, and he had no trouble understanding poetry, he was quite fascinated by it, so much so that he didn’t even notice when Shan Qihuan opened the door and walked in.
When he saw Shen Yuhan, all the negative emotions of the day disappeared: “Is 《Dream of the Red Chamber》 so interesting?”
Shen Yuhan was startled by the appearance of his husband and wiped the tears from his eyes: “Husband walks without making a sound, I just read about Daiyu burying the flowers5In 《Dream of the Red Chamber》, there is a poignant scene where Lin Daiyu, one of the main characters, buries a flower. This act is significant for several reasons: The flower represents Daiyu’s own mortality and fragility. By burying the flower, Daiyu is symbolically acknowledging her own ephemeral existence and the inevitability of death; The act of burying the flower can be seen as a foreshadowing of Daiyu’s tragic fate. Lin Daiyu is the earthly incarnation of the Crimson Pearl Flower. In a previous life, Jia Baoyu had been a stone, and, as a stone, had captured water with which he nourished the flower. As a result, Daiyu owes Baoyu a debt of tears, to repay the water which had sustained her life. The attentive reader will realize that the debt of tears means that there is no happy ending for Daiyu. More information: Link 1, Link 2., it’s quite pitiful for her to be living under someone else’s roof.”
Daiyu is the daughter of a talented scholar, and also a wealthy young lady, when her request to enter the door is rejected, which makes her feel psychologically uncomfortable, moreover, he too, was once a ger from a prominent family, surrounded by servants, he reminisces about the past grandeur, but now he is just an ordinary person, it is inevitable that there is a gap in his heart.
Shan Qihuan was a little tired today, so he sat on the couch and rested his head on Shen Yuhan’s thin shoulder: “Whether she is pitiful or not, you can’t cry, you have to go out tomorrow, and it won’t look good if your eyes are swollen.”
Shen Yuhan was seldom relied on by his husband in this way, the emptiness in his heart of being alone at home was suddenly filled to the brim, naturally, he lost his sentimental mood, he touched Shan Qihuan’s face, and felt a little bit of newly grown stubble on his chin, it was hard, and a bit prickly.
His heart was slightly moved: “No way, Husband, I’ll shave you tomorrow morning.”
“Um.” Shan Qihuan leaned against Shen Yuhan and didn’t want to move, his wife is also a man, so how can he be so fragrant and soft, whether he was hugging or leaning against him, it’s all very comfortable.
Shen Yuhan saw his husband’s eyes were half closed, and asked: “Are you tired?”
Shan Qihuan simply lay on his wife’s lap: “A little, today I’m negotiating a cooperation with a very difficult company, and I was so dizzy from bargaining with them, if I’m not careful, I will be caught by them.”
Shen Yuhan didn’t know much about business matters, he gently rubbed Shan Qihuan’s temples, Shan Qihuan sighed in his heart that it was great to have a wife.
After pressing it for a while, Shen Yuhan swept his gaze to his qin: “Husband, how about I play the qin for you?”
Shan Qihuan said: “All right.”
Shen Yuhan usually only plays the qin for himself, his husband is very busy at home, and rarely has time to listen to him playing the qin.
He sat down in front of the qin table, tested two notes, raised his head and asked Shan Qihuan: “What music does Husband want to listen to?”
Shan Qihuan had no idea in this regard: “It’s all fine, I’m not picky.”
Shen Yuhan nodded, and played a piece of music he played while meditating in Qi Kingdom.
The sound of the qin was leisurely, and with the change of melody, Shan Qihuan felt his slightly restless heart calm down, he propped up his head, listening and admiring his wife’s excellent posture when playing the qin.
Shen Yuhan has just put on a wide woolen sweater, which is spread out on the floor, and looked a bit like the hem of a skirt, his hair seems to have grown a bit longer, and the way he played the qin seriously looked like a beauty from a distant era.
Wife, warms the heart and delights the eye.
The sound of his wife’s qin, lingering in the air6余音繞梁 (yú yīn rào liáng): the music lingered around the beams; the music lingered in the air long after the performance; an idiom derived from a fable, describe the beautiful singing or music, and the lingering sounds. It is also used as a metaphor for poems that are meaningful and thought-provoking..
Shan Qihuan took out his mobile phone and recorded the music played by Shen Yuhan, he thought if he couldn’t sleep on a business trip one day, he would just watch the video, and listen to the music.
At the end of the song, Shen Yuhan turned his head and saw his husband holding his mobile phone: “Husband, what are you doing?”
“Recording your music.” Shan Qihuan’s spirit is much better now than when he first came back.
Based on the spirit of the joy of enjoying the music alone is not as good as the joy of enjoying the music together7獨樂樂不如眾樂樂 (dú yuè lè bùrú zhòng yuè lè): lit. the joy of playing music alone is not as good as the joy of playing music together; it is much more joyful to share the joy than enjoy alone; From Mencius (《孟子·梁惠王下》): 曰：「獨樂樂，與人樂樂，孰樂？」曰：「不若與人。」 曰：「與少樂樂，與眾樂樂，孰樂？」曰：「不若與眾。」, Mencius asked, “Which is the more pleasant – to enjoy music by yourself alone, or to enjoy it with others?” “To enjoy it with others,” was the reply. “And which is the more pleasant – to enjoy music with a few, or to enjoy it with many?” “To enjoy it with many.”, ever since he discovered that Shen Yuhan was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, he started showing off on Weibo, and every time when he saw the envious and jealous comments from netizens, he was in a joyful mood.
Learning from the experience of posting on Weibo on the winter solstice, he only let his wife show his hands this time, and nothing else.
Anyway, he thought the music is quite good, he also learned piano for many years when he was a child, later, because he didn’t want to recall the boring days of practicing piano, he never bought a piano at home. Therefore, in order to change Shen Yuhan, he made piano his course of study, but he didn’t expect his wife to give him surprises one after another, in current Internet slang, the explanation is probably ‘The clown turned out to be myself8小醜竟然是我自己 (xiǎo chǒu jìng rán shì wǒ zì jǐ): The Internet catch phrase is 小醜竟是我自己 (xiǎo chǒu jìng shì wǒ zì jǐ), “小醜” means “clown,” “竟” is an expression of surprise, and “是我自己” means “is myself.” This saying, coined by Chinese netizens, can be translated as “It turns out that I am a clown.” A popular meme on Chinese social media often used together with a clown emoji, this saying is used in self-deprecation, usually when the speaker realizes that their selfless devotion to someone they have a crush on is unrequited. 
‘.
Fortunately, he didn’t hold too much prejudice against Shen Yuhan, otherwise, he might not be able to have such a multi-talented9多才多藝 (duō cái duō yì): to possess a great deal of different skills and talents; multi-talented; be versatile/many-sided; be gifted/talented in many ways; have many outstanding gifts. wife who loves to cry, clingy, and coquettish.
He checked the video he had cut out before posting it on Weibo.
Shan Qihuan: I’m a little tired today, my little friend played a song for me, does anyone know the name.
Netizens all understand now.
– Chief Shan is showing off his wife again, so shameless!
– Can you show your little friend’s face, I want to see it.
– Won’t listen, won’t listen to the monk chanting sutras, another day to trick me into getting married, dream on, I will not be deceived.
– I can really knock this hand for a hundred years, it’s so beautiful, is Chief Shan married to a wife who is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting? I’m impressed.
– When will the new paintings be released? The painting style is so cute.

Gao Feng is a doctoral student majoring in guqin performance, he is obsessed with the guqin performance, and also likes to search for lost guqin music, because of his excellent musical talent and ability, he recently worked with Jiangcheng archaeological experts and classical music research professors to study a qin score that was just found in an ancient tomb, it’s just that because the music score has been kept in a damp coffin all year round, only one-tenth of the characters on it can be read clearly, moreover, they were only sure of this one-tenth after they studied it for more than a month until their eyes became red.
It was not easy for him to take a break today, so he went to bed early and swiped through the Weibo site before going to bed, and found the Weibo forwarded by his classmates.
Gao Feng is very concerned about everything related to qin, his classmate is also one of the best10數一數二 (shǔ yī shǔ èr): reckoned to be first or second best (idiom); among the top; to be one of the best; to enumerate; to list one by one; rank very high (among); count at the top. in their major, so why would he forward a celebrity’s Weibo posts casually? When he read the comments, he felt it was strange: It sounds great, asking for the music score!
Is there any guqin music scores that they haven’t heard before? Is it original?
So Gao Feng clicked on the fifty-second long video.
At first listen, it sounds leisurely and comfortable, but as he continued to listen, it sounded somewhat familiar, and then suddenly he was enlightened11醍醐灌頂 (tí hú guàn dǐng): lit. to anoint your head with the purest cream (idiom); to anoint one’s head with ghee; fig. to enlighten people with perfect wisdom; flawless Buddhist teaching; (Buddhism) to enlighten someone with wisdom for achieving nirvana; (figurative) to inspire someone with insightful words; be enlightened.!
A small section of the melody in this piece was something he had almost developed a conditioned reflex to after listening to it for a month, who played it?
Is it purely a coincidence? Why is it so similar to their new music score?
He wanted to continue listening, but, there is no more!
Gao Feng was extremely excited, could it be that the music score obtained by the archaeological experts actually already existed among the people?
He clicked on Shan Qihuan’s Weibo, and then he learned that it was Shan Qihuan’s lover who played it, he searched for a long time, but couldn’t find Shan Qihuan’s lover’s Weibo.
It is better to save the video first, and send it to the teachers tomorrow, to see if they can confirm whether it is from same music score or not.
If it is, then the country’s classical music repertoire will increase again, wouldn’t it be beautiful?
The next part will be up soon.
