After the engagement party between Shan Qiyun and Miss Qi, Shan Qiyun’s right to speak in the group increased, Shan Qihuan felt much more relaxed, he didn’t have to work overtime like before either, Shen Yuhan also knew what was going on, as expected, Shan Tianfeng’s heart was still biased towards Shan Qiyun.
Shan Tianfeng has been recuperating since the surgery, while Shan Qiyuan also went home to recuperate after staying in the hospital for a month due to poor health, of course, Shan Qihuan has the ability to take over the work of the Shan Group completely, but he doesn’t like to do an arduous and thankless task, he only joins the company to help his eldest brother, and he still has to hand the baton back later.
If Shan Qiyun wants to control the Shan Group, it depends on whether he has the ability, Shan Tianfeng is willing to delegate power, but hasn’t he retired yet?
How come they can’t even figure this out.
The New Year1新年 (xīn nián): T/N: Chinese people usually use 新年 for Chinese New Year or Lunar New Year, also known as the Spring Festival. The common people in Mainland China doesn’t really celebrate Gregorian calendar New Year [元旦 (Yuán dàn)], only popular tourist destination will have event for those. On the contrary, CNY is widely celebrated in Mainland China. will soon come, and there will be a snowfall before the year comes.
Shen Yuhan also recited to Shan Qihuan; A timely snow augurs a year of good harvest2瑞雪兆豐年 (ruì xuě zhào fēng nián): (Proverb) a timely snow augurs a year of good harvest; timely winter snow heralds a good harvest in the coming year; a sign of a good harvest., and they will definitely gain a lot next year, Shan Qihuan said that there is no need for next year, he has also gained a lot this year, he got a lovely, soft, and delicate wife.
This lovely, soft, and delicate wife has discovered a new world since registering on Weibo.
He can now post on Weibo by himself, and upload photos of his own calligraphy, after a round of promotion at the art exhibition and Shan Qihuan’s regular reposting on Weibo, over the space of one night, his number of fans increased to one million, from then on, he fell in love with reading fan messages on Weibo.
It turns out that this is how Weibo is used, interacting directly with strangers, while WeChat is for interacting with people you know.
Modern people are really smart, they can do this through the Internet, you don’t have to show your face to communicate with people, just move your fingers.
Shan Qihuan saw that his wife was addicted to the Internet, and was ready to remind him to protect his eyes and stop scrolling on Weibo all the time.

On this day, it was rare for him to come home early from work, strangely, Shen Yuhan didn’t come out to greet him as usual, he couldn’t hear him calling himself husband softly, Shan Qihuan felt uncomfortable from the moment he walked in.
When he asked the auntie, he found out that Shen Yuhan had been staying in the study all afternoon, he thought Shen Yuhan must be painting at his desk again, he recently learned a new word——pampering fans, and he often paints some small patterns at the request of his fans.
Shan Qihuan quietly went upstairs to the study to see what he was painting, on his way back today, he passed by a musical instrument store and bought a xun3塤 (xūn): (music, historical) egg-shaped flute made of clay or ceramic; wind instrument consisting of an egg-shaped chamber with holes. Xun is a globular, vessel flute from China. It is one of the oldest musical instruments in China and has been in use for approximately seven thousand years. Not to be confused with ocarina. More information: Link. 
, he had learned a little about it when he was a child, and wanted to bring it back to play for Shen Yuhan.
Auntie would not go upstairs to disturb Shen Yuhan if she had nothing to do, his study door would basically not be locked, and he would open a gap for ventilation.
Shan Qihuan was about to push the door open, when he heard a female voice reading in English from inside, followed closely by Shen Yuhan’s voice.
Mechanical female voice: “congratulation.”
Shen Yuhan: “Kěn gú lù tiáo lē shěn4啃骨露條肋沈 (kěn gú lù tiáo lē shěn): T/N: LOL as you can read, it’s basically just SYH trying to spell English, but butchering it spectacularly. And funnily enough, if it’s translated, it means: Gnawing on the bone and exposing the ribs. 😂😂.” Then he added, “It’s so hard to pronounce.”
Mechanical female voice: “celebrate.”
Shen Yuhan: “Zéi nǐ lèi bù lèi5賊你累不累 (zéi nǐ lèi bù lèi): T/N: Another butchered spelling, if it’s translated, it means: Thief, are you tired? 🤣🤣.” Then he sighed again, “English is so difficult.”
Shan Qihuan: “…”
Is he secretly learning English? But this accent is really…
Shan Qihuan covered his mouth hard, fearing that he would not be able to return to his room at night, so he didn’t dare to laugh out loud!
Never expected Shen Yuhan’s English to be so poor, as his husband who can speak English as his native language, he was such a failure, that he didn’t even know that his wife was secretly practicing English for him.
Presumably, his wife also cares about face, so he doesn’t dare to sign up for classes outside, but quietly takes online classes by himself.
Why don’t he find an excuse to enroll him in a class, so as to save him from studying so hard secretly.
In order to catch up with himself, he is also working too hard.
Shan Qihuan was so moved, that he asked Assistant Qu to contact him about the best English training class, he needed one-on-one tutoring, and it also had to be a female teacher, he was not at ease finding a male teacher.
–
Shen Yuhan went downstairs during dinner and was very surprised to see that his husband had returned, and was watching the news.
He wrapped his hands around Shan Qihuan, took the initiative to hug him, and whispered in his ear: “Husband, why didn’t you tell me you were back.”
Shan Qihuan said in his heart, wasn’t it because he was busy with his studies, and he didn’t want to disturb him, but that’s not what he said: “Who knows what you are doing, you don’t come to receive me home.”
“Ah, I didn’t hear the sound of the car.” Shen Yuhan said in Shan Qihuan’s ear again, “Husband, don’t be angry, if you had sent me a message before you came back, I would have come down to receive you.”
Shen Yuhan thought that his husband was having a tantrum, so he coaxed him, but in his heart, he breathed a sigh of relief, it’s good that Shan Qihuan didn’t find out that he was learning English.
He quickly changed the subject: “It’s going to be Chinese New Year in a few days, do we need to buy New Year’s goods for our home? Do we need to decorate?”
Shan Qihuan’s impression of the Chinese New Year was probably that he had to face the other three houses, thinking of spending it with Shen Yuhan this year, he was also looking forward to it.
He held Shen Yuhan’s hand on his chest and asked: “How do you want to celebrate the New Year?” When he was suddenly asked, he drew a blank, after nearly thirty years, he couldn’t even think of anything he wanted to do during the Chinese New Year.
Shen Yuhan has checked the modern way of celebrating the New Year but found that it was different in the North and the South, he didn’t know how his husband celebrated the New Year in the past.
He recalled his experience during the New Year in Qi Kingdom: “Buying New Year’s goods, sticking up couplets6對聯 (duì lián): antithetical couplet, often consisting of two lines of verse written vertically down the opposing sides of a doorway; rhyming couplet; In Chinese poetry, a duilian is a pair of lines of poetry which adhere to certain rules. Outside of poems, they are usually seen on the sides of doors leading to people’s homes or as hanging scrolls in an interior. Although often called Chinese couplet or antithetical couplet, they can better be described as a written form of counterpoint. The two lines have a one-to-one correspondence in their metrical length, and each pair of characters must have certain corresponding properties. A duilian is ideally profound yet concise, using one character per word in the style of Classical Chinese. A special, widely-seen type of duilian is the chunlian, used as a New Year’s decoration that expresses happiness and hopeful thoughts for the coming year. 
, hanging lanterns, having a reunion dinner, drinking tusu wine7屠蘇酒 (tú sū jiǔ): Tusu wine is made by immersing Chinese herbal medicines like rhubarb and the rhizome of large-headed atractylodes in wine. It can benefit the vital essence and warm yang, disperse cold, and expel epidemic diseases. It is said that every year in the last lunar month, Sun Simiao, a noted physician of the Tang Dynasty, would distribute a pack of medicine to his fellow villagers, and tell them to soak the medicine in wine and drink the wine on New Year’s Eve to prevent plagues. Sun Simiao also named his house “Tusu House”. After generations, it has become a custom to drink the Tusu wine during the Spring Festival. More information: Link 1, Link 2. 
, watching display of fireworks and lanterns8火樹銀花 (huǒ shù yín huā): lit. fiery trees and silvery flowers―display of fireworks and a sea of lanterns (on a festival night); magnificently illuminated with brilliant lights or fireworks.? Celebrate peace with songs and dance9歌舞昇平 (gē wǔ shēng píng): lit. to celebrate peace with songs and dance (idiom); fig. to make a show of happiness and prosperity; prosperous and peaceful; sing and dance in celebration of the good times—put on a show to celebrate peace and prosperity.?”
Shan Qihuan told him regretfully: “We have to go back to my father’s place for the Chinese New Year’s dinner, but we don’t have to go back after that.”
“It doesn’t matter.” Shen Yuhan knew that there was no way to avoid this, “Then we still have to put up couplets and hang lanterns, right?”
“Okay.” Shan Qihuan tried his best to recall the New Year’s arrangements in previous years, “We can just spend the first day of the year by ourselves, on the second day of the year, the second sister returned to her parents’ home, we all have go to the eldest brother’s house for dinner, which is fixed every year, and we will go to the second sister’s house for dinner on the third day.”
“That’s fine, I haven’t been to the eldest brother and second sister’s house yet.” Shen Yuhan was still looking forward to it, so he began to plan, “I’ll write the couplets myself, but we have to buy paper.”
He had already learned how to manage the household while he was still preparing to be the main wife, “We also need to buy New Year’s gifts, does my husband have a list of gifts from previous years? We have to prepare accordingly.”
“Gift list?” The company’s partners are usually dealt with by the relevant departments of the company, so he rarely gives gifts on his own, “I rarely give gifts during the New Year, if I do, it’s usually prepared by Assistant Qu.”
When it comes to interpersonal relationships, this is Shen Yuhan’s specialty, he sat next to Shan Qihuan and said seriously: “In previous years, when you were unmarried, whether you gave gifts or not didn’t matter to everyone, but this year, since we’re married, we should definitely give gifts.”
Shan Qihuan felt like he was being educated by his wife, and humbly said: “Then how about I ask Assistant Qu, and then you can oversee the gift-giving.”
Shen Yuhan nodded seriously: “Um, we have to give gifts to many people, the eldest brother, and second sister need to receive good ones, and I also have to give gifts to the uncles I know, they don’t lack food and drink, nor do they lack valuables, so our heartfelt gifts will be enough, we also need to give gifts to husband’s friends, oh, and to Wen Yan and his group as well.”
For some reason, Shan Qihuan saw Shen Yuhan’s eyes light up when he said these things, and he would be attracted to them.
After Shen Yuhan counted the people he had to give gifts to, he realized that he had met so many people in less than half a year since he came to modern times.
Thanks to his husband, in a short period of time, he was able to be independent.
The matter of gift-giving is also handed over to Assistant Qu, he was also in charge of the company’s New Year’s goods, so it wasn’t too much trouble.
Shen Yuhan gave the list, and Assistant Qu still had to help him with what gifts to give, and then he wrote down the gift list so that he would know it next year.
Two days before the Chinese New Year, Shen Yuhan started writing couplets and also posted them on WeChat Moments.
After seeing it, the old friends in his Moments, each and every one of them asked him to make couplets, which is just a simple task for Shen Yuhan, so he wrote couplets for all of them, when they sent people to pick them up, they also brought a bunch of New Year’s gifts.
Within a day, there were piles of New Year’s gifts piled up at home, including delicacies from land and sea, all one can think of is here, someone even gifted a very luxurious set of jewelry.
Shan Qihuan suddenly realized, in fact, the best New Year gift is a couplet written by his wife?
–
However, the surprise his wife brought him was not over yet.
On the twenty-ninth day of the year, the director of the National Archaeological Research Institute approached Shan Qihuan.
When Shan Qihuan received Assistant Qu’s call, he thought Assistant Qu had been deceived by a scammer.
“Archaeological Research Institute? Our company has no archeology-related projects, so how could someone from the Archaeological Research Institute look for me, Xiao Qu, are you under too much pressure lately, I’ll give you two extra days off during the Chinese New Year this year, don’t worry about that scammer.”
Assistant Qu rolled his eyes: “Boss, during this year’s company physical examination, all the tests were normal, except that my teeth were a little bit worse. I checked the other party’s landline number, it’s really from the institute.”
Shan Qihuan was confused: “What are they looking for me for?”
Assistant Qu was even more confused than he was, and said: “It seems that they want to know the name of the song that the boss’s wife played.”
Shan Qihuan has posted a lot of videos: “What song?”
Assistant Qu said: “The one where the boss’s wife played the qin for you, you posted a video on Weibo.”
Shan Qihuan couldn’t understand, why the people from the research institute would come to his door just because his wife played a song.
“Isn’t it just a piece of music?”
Assistant Qu said: “I asked, and they said they wanted to keep it confidential, Director Fang would like to make an appointment to meet with you and discuss it in detail, if it’s convenient today, they will rush to Jiang City overnight.”
Shan Qihuan was even more confused: “Just for a song?” Going that far?
Anyway, Assistant Qu didn’t understand what was in it: “I don’t know either, how about it?”
The guqin was purchased by Shan Qihuan for Shen Yuhan, his wife’s consent was required for this matter: “I’ll ask Xiao Han first.”
Assistant Qu complained in his heart: Xiao Han, belch~~
