TAB Chapter 072.1

T/N: This bonus chapter is for you, who have supported me. Thank you so much ❤️❤️

Shen Yuhan and Shan Qihuan didn’t rest until late at night.

The night’s activities had turned his routine upside down, but after another shower he was still in good spirits, not feeling the least bit sleepy, he lay in Shan Qihuan’s crooked arms, with slightly cold palms resting on his firm waist and abdomen.

It was as if he was still dreaming, his husband still video chatting with him in the evening, and not long after he fell asleep, his husband suddenly appeared.

This sudden surprise gave him great satisfaction both physically and mentally.

The muscles on Shan Qihuan’s chest were firm, and Shen Yuhan found it interesting, he was a ger, and he never thought that he wanted such muscles, but they were perfect on his husband, and he appreciated his muscular perfection very much.

Until Shan Qihuan pressed his fingers and said: “Shen Yuhan, don’t move, do you still want to get up tomorrow?”

Shen Yuhan immediately withdrew his hand with a red face: “Okay.” He put his hands around Shan Qihuan’s waist, “Then I’ll sleep like this.”

This time it was Shan Qihuan’s turn to use his hands, and the hand pressed by Shen Yuhan began to lightly touch his earlobe.

Shen Yuhan counterattacked: “Honey, are you still going to let me sleep?”

Shan Qihuan said very arrogantly: “I’ll press the acupoints for you, the kidneys are the main reservoir of essence, and the conduit is in the ear, so you can strengthen your kidneys by pressing here.”

Shen Yuhan listened to what he was talking about and whispered: “Shouldn’t it be you who needs it more? Honey, shall I press it for you?” As he said that, he reached out to pinch his earlobe.

But Shan Qihuan was not willing to let him pinch his earlobe, his earlobe is particularly sensitive, he was bitten by Shen Yuhan just now and his whole body jolted, his waist almost went weak, and almost lost his confidence as an old gong.

After the two of them fooled around for a while, Shen Yuhan started to get a little bit sleepy, and the two of them embraced each other and slept.

Because of Shan Qihuan’s sudden appearance, Shen Yuhan’s trip was delayed by two hours, when he broke the youtiao¹油條 (yóu tiáo): Youtiao, known in Southern China as Yu Char Kway, is a long golden-brown deep-fried strip of wheat flour dough of Chinese origin and (by a variety of other names) also popular in other East and Southeast Asian cuisines. Conventionally, youtiao are lightly salted and tearable. Youtiao are normally eaten at breakfast as an accompaniment for rice congee, soy milk or regular milk blended with sugar. in the morning, he was worried that he would not be able to enter the Forbidden City, he heard that there would be a long queue.

Shan Qihuan reassured him: “You can go in, there is no hurry, today is not a holiday, and now the weather is a little cold, there are not that many people, so eat your youtiao and drink your soymilk without worrying.”

“Oh.” Shen Yuhan took a sip of the soy milk from Shan Qihuan’s hand, “It’s so sweet.”

Shan Qihuan watched him drink in small sips and thought about how his wife could drink soy milk so elegantly, he would drink it obediently, without being in a hurry, even if he is hungry, he will never gulp it down like wolves and tigers²狼吞虎咽 (láng tūn hǔ yàn): lit. to gulp down like wolves and tigers; to wolf down one’s food (idiom); to devour ravenously; to gorge oneself; eat like a wolf or tiger―wolf down; gobble up; eat voraciously., in the end, what kind of family can cultivate such a lovely person?

It’s a pity that his parents and grandfather are no longer alive, otherwise, he would have to express his gratitude and honor them.

Shen Yuhan was stared at by his husband and raised an eyebrow: “Honey, you’re not eating?”

Shan Qihuan: “I’m full.”

Shen Yuhan: “I’m also full, let’s go.”

Shan Qihuan: “Um, remember to bring your identification with you.”

Shen Yuhan: “I know.”

The capital is dusty and dry, so Shan Qihuan specially bought a mask for Shen Yuhan to wear.

There are indeed many people in the Forbidden City, Shen Yuhan saw a lot of foreigners here, he usually doesn’t go out often or for much time, and at most he encountered white people with curly hair and blue eyes, but here he saw black people with black braids, and of course, there are also many very trendy young people. In addition, he also saw many tour guides holding small red, yellow, and blue flags, and a group of people followed them, all obediently obeying their arrangements.

Shan Qihuan also visited the Forbidden City a few years ago, and it was a completely different experience again, Assistant Yang rented two interpreter devices for them, and Shen Yuhan successfully put them on with the help of Shan Qihuan, as he walked through a door or area, the voice of explanation came from the earphones, Shen Yuhan sighed at the magical inventions of modern people, it can still be like this, it’s amazing!

After the surprise, Shen Yuhan began to listen carefully to the explanation, he had also entered the palace before, but compared to this one, the palace in their Qi Kingdom seemed somewhat inferior.

The palaces in the Forbidden City were adorned with carved beams and painted rafters, resplendent with gold and jade, while those in their Qi Kingdom appeared more solemn, yet still grand in their own way, each with its own unique charm.

There were many people visiting each palace, and Shen Yuhan was getting tired after walking for more than an hour.

From ancient times to the present day, people have been very curious about the life of the royal family.

The two of them found a place to sit down and rest and drink some water.

There are various halls in the front, and there are also the concubines’ bedrooms in the back, s, Shen Yuhan is not too curious, because it’s actually not much different from the harem he knew, modern people come to visit is because they don’t understand the way of life of the ancients, however, Shen Yuhan is an ancient person, looking at the Forbidden City is like looking at the place where he lives, and his curiosity is not as strong as it was at first.

“Tired?” Shan Qihuan knew that Shen Yuhan’s physical strength was just average, not to the point of getting tired after walking for an hour, he usually could stand for two hours practicing calligraphy or painting without any problem.

“Not tired, just don’t feel like looking anymore.” Shen Yuhan looked at the palace of the imperial concubines behind him and felt a connection with the palace concubines from hundreds of years ago, he almost entered such a deep palace in the past, if he hadn’t encountered the bandits, he wouldn’t have come to the modern world.

Shan Qihuan has always been willing to accommodate him, regardless of the reason.

After the two bought a bunch of small gifts in the cultural and creative product store, they went directly to the next place.

The Great Wall is also a good place to go, they took the cable car up and then climbed a short section, Shen Yuhan looked at the Great Wall, and listened to Shan Qihuan telling him the story of resisting the Huns, his mood was different again when his husband told the story, his logic was clear, and he was fascinated by it unconsciously, now Shan Qihuan is quite attractive.

When Shen Yuhan couldn’t climb anymore, Shan Qihuan still dragged him up until they reached the top, Assistant Yang even took photos for them.

This day is the first time they traveled together, Shen Yuhan thinks it’s quite memorable, he also took a selfie with Shan Qihuan and posted it to his WeChat Moments, his selfie skills are not bad, and he has good lighting and angles, Shan Qihuan directly collected his photos and transferred them to his WeChat Moments.

After playing in the capital for a day, the two of them took the earliest flight the next morning and flew back to Jiang City.

Originally, they could have played for two more days, Shan Qihuan planned to take him to climb Xiangshan³香山 (xiāng shān): Fragrant Hills Park or Xiangshan Park (香山公园) is a public park and former imperial garden at the foot of the Western Hills in the Haidian District, Beijing, China. It was also formerly known as Jingyi Garden or “Jingyiyuan” (靜宜園). It covers 160 ha (395 acres) and consists of a natural pine-cypress forest, hills with maple trees, smoke trees and persimmon trees, as well as landscaped areas with traditional architecture and cultural relics. The name derives from the highest peak of Fragrant Hills, Xianglu Feng (Incense Burner Peak), a 557-meter (1,827 ft) hill with two large stones resembling incense burners at the top. and then go skiing, the ski resort in the north is the real ski resort.

A phone call from Shan Qiyuan put an end to their plans.

At present, the second house and the third house are fighting each other fiercely, and now, in order to seize the initiative of a project, they come to blows in the company, Shan Qibai had a tooth knocked out by Shan Qiyun from the third house, Shan Qiyun didn’t fare well either, one of his fingers was broken off by Shan Qibai, and now his finger is covered with a plaster.

Shan Qihuan originally didn’t want to care about their life and death, but Shan Tianfeng was so angry about this that he fainted and went to the hospital, he had to be hospitalized for observation for a few days, Shan Qiyuan said that Shan Tianfeng’s temper has become more and more unstable since he fell ill.

Very good, now everyone has to go to him to practice filial piety.

–

After Shen Yuhan returned home, he even said to Shan Qihuan: “Why does your father always go to the hospital? He’s so angry every day, isn’t it not good?”

Shan Qihuan doesn’t sympathize with Shan Tianfeng, he lived a free and easy life and acted recklessly when he was young, when he gets older, he has to bear the same pressure that his youth did not bear, having many wives and children is the pressure on him.

Everything is just caused by the word ‘money’.

Shen Yuhan suggested: “Why don’t we ask Auntie to prepare chicken soup, and we can bring it over?”

Shan Qihuan: “That’s fine, it’s up to you.”

Shen Yuhan also brought a small gift he brought back from Beijing.

After the two came back, they went straight to the hospital.

The wives of the other three houses were all there, the two main protagonists of the fight did not come over to be scolded.

When Shan Tianfeng saw Shen Yuhan coming, he felt better: “Yuhan, you went to the capital city?”

Shen Yuhan said: “Yes, someone from the institute asked me to do a small favor.”

Without being implied to share the family property, Shan Tianfeng is still willing to chat with Shen Yuhan for a few more moments: “What research institute?”

Shen Yuhan said with a little pride: “The National Archaeological Research Institute, their office building is so grand.”

A rare smile appeared on Shan Tianfeng’s face: “I haven’t even been there, you’re amazing, our Shan family has not yet produced an intellectual, and you are the first.”

“Really?” Shen Yuhan was praised and he was happy, he handed the gift box he brought to Shan Tianfeng: “By the way, I also went to the Forbidden City and the Great Wall and brought you a gift.”

“Oh? Let me take a look.” The small gift successfully aroused Shan Tianfeng’s curiosity.

Shan Tianfeng opened the gift box in a great mood and inside was a cute Forbidden City cat cup⁴故宮貓杯 (gù gōng māo bēi): T/N: So, this is actually a thing, I found this cute cat cup, along with the introduction words. “萌猫送福” 此杯图案来源于故宫博物院收藏的清I乾隆年间杏黄色缎缀绣八团云龙纹夹龙抱，以故宫猫为原型，结合现代工艺造型及需求，设计出杯盖的样式，截取”海水江塵”纹为主题纹饰，并配以特种的萌黄柚和大红釉，烧制出两种不同颜色的故宫猫杯。, “Cute cats sends blessings” This cup design is based on the Qing Dynasty Qianlong period apricot-yellow satin embroidered with eight groups of cloud and dragon patterns, which is a collection of the Palace Museum, taking the Forbidden City cat as the prototype, and combining modern craftsmanship and design requirements, the style of the cup cover is created, the theme pattern “sea water and river dust” is used, and special cute yellow and dark red glazes are used to produce two different colored Forbidden City cat cups are made. .

Shen Yuhan bought four, one for each of him and his husband, and one for his brother-in-law, Shan Qixin, the remaining one was originally a spare, and he was reluctant to give it away, but since they had bought it, and he couldn’t use them for the time being, he brought them over.

“Isn’t it cute?” Shen Yuhan said with a smile, “I bought something else, there are many stores and I got confused, so I bought the most practical one.”

Shan Tianfeng actually felt a strange sense of satisfaction, the bad mood of the day was wiped away, which one of his children would bring him gifts when they traveled far away, he had never received a souvenir specially brought back from a trip.

“It’s very cute, I like this cup of yours.” He immediately asked the housekeeper to help him wash it and then use it to make tea.

The housekeeper was also smiling and looked at Shen Yuhan with more gratitude in his eyes.

The next part will be up soon~
