TAB Chapter 070.2

On his first business trip, a subtle emotion arose in his heart, and this emotion was his reluctance to leave his husband.

When they got married, the first time his husband went on a business trip, he also felt reluctant to part with him, but this time the reluctance is not the same, he also has more expectations of going home, he wants to finish his work quickly, and then go home to be with his husband.

The trip took about two hours, after getting off the plane, Shen Yuhan went straight to the hotel Shan Qihuan had booked for him, there were two bodyguards following behind him, the assistant was selected by Shan Qihuan for him, she would be responsible for Shen Yuhan’s work in the future, a relatively mature and steady lady in her thirties, she exudes shrewdness in every aspect, she didn’t let anyone touch Shen Yuhan throughout the whole trip on and off the plane, which made Shen Yuhan feel extremely comfortable, he really didn’t like to get too close to unfamiliar men and women.

Assistant Yang: “Mr. Shen, I have arranged the time for you to meet with Director Fang and the others, the location is at the National Archaeological Office Building, do you have any opinions on it?”

Shen Yuhan sat down and replied: “Um, I remember that Director Fang quite likes to eat seafood, if we are going to have dinner at night, remember to book a seafood restaurant, I remember that they seem to like it very much.”

Assistant Yang showed full respect for Shen Yuhan: “Are there any specifications required?”

Shen Yuhan was not familiar with Assistant Yang, but he could feel her professionalism: “You can book it at your discretion, and you should conform to the identity of Director Fang, oh, don’t allow people to report that kind of thing.” Shen Yuhan now even knows this, he heard that leaders cannot indulge in eating and drinking¹大吃大喝 (dà chī dà hē): to indulge in eating and drinking; to binge eat and drink; to eat and drink as much as one like; to make a pig of oneself; fare sumptuously; eat and drink extravagantly; to eat voraciously..

Assistant Yang: “I understand.”

Seeing Assistant Yang handling things for him non-stop, Shen Yuhan thought to himself, if Mo Zhu around him had such dexterity back then, why would she go to Chu Kingdom with him, he didn’t know whether she survived later.

But, he, the master is gone, and Mo Zhu may not survive either.

The National Archaeological Research Institute is actually quite well hidden, the capital has the most old red brick buildings, and the Archaeological Research Institute is sandwiched between these buildings, the main entrance is still a relatively antique lacquered ancient gate, and the plaque is also painted with gold lacquer, which sparkles when the sun shines.

Because he had made an appointment in advance, the process of meeting with Director Fang was quite smooth, after all, he was invited by Director Fang, even though he had no academic qualifications to support him, however, with his temperament and the Shan family behind him, Shen Yuhan will not lack confidence, when he spoke to Director Fang, he was also modest and courteous, and anyone was willing to give him a smiling face.

Shen Yuhan was invited by Director Fang to sit in his office, explained to him about the past situation, and then discussed specific work matters, his job was to record ancient music, which had never been made public. Last time, they confirmed that Shen Yuhan’s 《A Fleeting Moment, It Is But an Instant》 was the ancient song they found in the ancient tomb, and then they also let a number of people tried to play this piece, but several of their experts couldn’t get the right flavor out of it, none of the teachers they found could play it as well as Shen Yuhan’s version, and it became a bit old-fashioned and uninteresting.

Before the Chinese New Year, they dug up a well-preserved piece of music score in one of the ear chambers²耳室 (ěr shì): T/N: According to netizen, ear chamber is the small room next to the main tomb. According to our modern interpretation, it is the wing room next to the main hall of the courtyard. It mainly functions as a warehouse when placed in the tomb. of the ancient tomb, which could be said to have shocked the entire Archaeological Research Institute!

Director Fang gave the recorded music score to Shen Yuhan, and when he saw how seriously he was looking at it, he slapped his forehead: “I’m silly, you probably can’t read it, I’ll get someone to bring over the translated version.”

The reason why Shen Yuhan was silent, and looked serious, was not because he didn’t understand, but because he recognized the words on the music score!

He shook his head: “There’s no need to get the translated version, Director Fang, I can read it.”

Director Fang had just picked up the phone receiver: “If you can’t read it…” It doesn’t matter, “No, what did you just say?”

“I said I can understand it, so there’s no need to give me the translated version.” Shen Yuhan repeated, that if he was given the translated version, he couldn’t understand it.

He took a deep breath and tried to stay calm, he had never been able to find out any information about the Qi Kingdom, so why would Director Fang have a music score written in the Qi Kingdom script in his hands?

“Director Fang, was this ancient music score also dug up?”

“To tell you the truth, it is indeed true, the music scores you saw last time belong to the same tomb owner, these ten pieces of music score have just been cleaned up by our frontline colleagues, and are in perfect condition, the identity of the owner of this tomb has not yet been determined, so I cannot tell you about it.” Director Fang was just getting excited when he suddenly stopped, “No, you just said you can understand this music score? Do you know this kind of writing?”

Although the difference between the characters and the Chinese characters is not too big, this ‘little difference’ is only in the eyes of the archaeologists, but for ordinary people is very difficult.

Seeing that Director Fang couldn’t hide his excitement, Shen Yuhan said: “I only understand a little bit.”

This answer is very subtle, his country has never appeared in the history books, and he suddenly said he could read it, he kind of had trouble explaining it, and was just a little impulsive.

“Perhaps I’ve read a lot of music scores, so I can understand some of it, and I can still recognize it with a rough guess.” Shen Yuhan explained a little.

This explanation falls within the range that Director Fang can accept without feeling too abrupt.
Director Fang laughed heartily: “Xiao Shen, you are really something, you’ve hidden your talent! I can truly entrust these ancient tunes to you for performance and recording this time!”

With that, he took Shen Yuhuan to the recording area, eager to hear music from over two thousand years ago!

Shen Yuhan brought his own qin with him, but when he passed by the exhibition area, he saw a lot of ancient qins that he liked, and each one of them had been around for some years, so the quality was supposed to be top-notch.

However, he still wanted the qin he had in Qi Kingdom more, it was his father who found it for him, it is said that his qin was used by a monk who had attained enlightenment in those years, and after Shen Yuhan got it, he has always cherished it.

Unfortunately, it’s all gone now.

Shen Yuhan opened his eyes and asked Director Fang: “Director, what is the full name of the owner of this tomb?”

Director Fang shook his head and smiled: “I can’t say the details yet, but I remember that his surname is Shen, and it’s the same surname as yours.”

Shen Yuhan’s heart skipped a beat: “Re, really surnamed Shen?” He pretended to be relaxed and asked Director Fang tentatively, “Could it be the ancestor of our Shen family?”

“That depends on the results of the research.” Thinking about the skeletal structure of the tomb owner, he shook his head again, “But I think it’s unlikely.”

Shen Yuhan was not disappointed, he just wanted to know whether the owner of the tomb was related to the Qi Kingdom.

It seemed that he still had to communicate with Director Fang more, so he proposed to invite Director Fang and the others to eat seafood in the evening.

Director Fang agreed as well, now, can be considered a colleague, they are able to enjoy the perks, and there is no shortage of food anyway, so let’s take advantage of the benefits of the capitalists first.

Shen Yuhan couldn’t take the music score out of the research institute, so in the afternoon, he could only try playing the first piece in the recording studio, although he hadn’t played this piece before, with some practice, he would naturally get the hang of it.

Director Fang also specially set aside a room for him as a qin room for him to practice.

He practiced the first piece all afternoon, and at dinner in the evening, Shen Yuhan said he could record it tomorrow.

He treated them to dinner in the evening, and Director Fang invited several experts from the institute to have a very satisfying dinner together.

After returning to the hotel in the evening, Shen Yuhan’s body was filled with fatigue.

He couldn’t use his mobile phone during the day at the institute, and he almost forgot all about his husband, fortunately, he remembered it before he went to bed.

The moment the mobile phone chat video was opened, Shen Yuhan saw his husband’s sad face and burst into a laugh.

Shan Qihuan covered his face and gave him a lecture: “Shen Yuhan, after running out to the capital, did you forget about your man.”

Shen Yuhan held up his mobile phone, slumped on the bed, and deliberately said with a little teasing: “Ah, I forgot.”

Shan Qihuan, who had been waiting for this video for a whole day, said in exasperation: “Then don’t come back.”

Shen Yuhan said: “That won’t work, what should I do if I miss my husband?”

Shan Qihuan continued with his complaining face: “Not doing anything, you’ve already forgotten that you have a husband.”

However, sometimes, no matter how much trouble Shan Qihuan made, nothing could compare to Shen Yuhan’s words of coaxing him.

Shen Yuhan rolled over, facing the mobile phone screen, blinking his eyes, and said in a soft tone: “But I miss you right now.”

Shan Qihuan sighed, unable to get angry, and with a bit of longing, he said in a soft voice: “Then you should come back early.”

He remembered that Shen Yuhan once said this to him on his first business trip after they got married.

Shen Yuhan asked him: “Did Husband miss me today?”

Shan Qihuan thought about his wife being alone in the hotel and was afraid that he would be scared, so he said: “No, it’s just a little bit.” Just a few hundred million.

Shen Yuhan gave him a cheeky smile: “Husband, when I’m finished, I’ll go back soon.”

–

The next day, the Meteorological Observatory warned the public in the capital that a sandstorm was expected to hit the capital in the next few days.

Shan Qihuan held the mobile phone speechlessly: “…”
