Gongqing bone

Chapter 2
"Du Heng! It's your turn! Why are you in a daze! If you can't do it, don't show up here in the first place! It's just shameful." Du Zhilan looked at this concubine girl with extreme disgust, as if she felt deeply ashamed.

"Miss, miss! Come back to your senses! Don't scare Jingse, woo~" Jingse shrugged her shoulders and gently pushed her behind Du Heng, who was already sitting in the corner.

My young lady has been in a trance for the past two days, and she told the eldest lady that she wanted to prescribe some medicine, but the eldest lady was also eccentric and didn't take it to heart. Looking at it today, is this soul-lost disease happening again?

Du Heng still looked so distracted, he didn't even look at Du Zhilan's side, and rolled the dice, making a four.

A look of joy flashed across Du Zhilan's face, the number she rolled just happened to match her, and she was going to hurry to make a raft for herself!
"Du Heng, don't blame sister-in-law for bullying you. Listen carefully, sister-in-law said the word 'wine'."

The noble ladies around looked at each other. The word "wine" seemed concrete and simple, but it was really general.

At this time, Du Zhilan smiled knowingly: "Fourth Sister, it's okay if you can't guess it. The big deal is that the first sister will let you 'double cover and one shot'. Listen carefully, the second word of the first sister is 'mountain' .”

Everyone understood that what Du Zhilan answered was the word "spring".

The poem she chose should be: Predicting the spring breeze blowing sober, slightly cold, but the hills are slanting and welcoming.

If she looked at it this way, she wouldn't be bullying Du Heng. The place where they were located was Changchun Garden. Besides, who wouldn't like to read Su Zizhan's poems?

Any lady with some talent and learning can shoot it with a little thought.

The second half of the poem is "Looking back at the place that has always been bleak, and going back, there is neither wind nor rain nor sunshine", which attracted her, but it added a little more openness to her.

Of course, it's normal for Du Heng not to be able to ejaculate. After all, no one would expect much from a concubine who is neither outstanding nor famous.

What the rest of the girls thought was that this Du Zhilan really made the right choice.

"Fan." Du Heng still looked like he didn't look at anyone, staring out the window dumbly, and spit out a word.

Spring flags and spring victories, a gust of spring wind blows the wine sober.It is not like the end of the world, but it is like snowflakes when it is rolled up.

Well, I didn't expect that, this unattractive-looking concubine of the Du family still has something, and she still uses Su Zizhan's poems for archery, which is a bit interesting.

Du Zhilan's face was deformed for a moment, and then she smiled nonchalantly, "That's right, sister, sister-in-law toasts you!"

Du Zhilan raised her glass at Du Heng from afar, and Du Heng finally turned around and drank a glass of wine in silence.

Du Zhilan clenched her fists tightly under her sleeves.

In the second round, Du Heng and Du Zhilan rolled an identical four.

Du Zhilan's heart sank, she wanted to see who would win this time!

"Listen up, fourth sister. Elder sister still asks you to 'cover twice and shoot'. The two characters for sister-in-law are 'river' and 'step' respectively, and the thing that sister is covering is on this table."

Everyone followed the sound and saw that what was on the table was nothing more than melon and fruit tea wine, candied fruit, and Du Zhilan was worthy of the name of a talented woman. This time, it was really hard to guess.

When everyone was looking for the things Du Zhilan had covered one by one and had no clue, Du Heng was still the same as before, and he didn't even look at the table, and shot the word "tassel".

Everyone guessed again, only then did they understand that Du Zhilan's answer was the word "moose".Isn't there a box of preserved elk on the table?

Du Zhilan's original poem should be "He who is here, the elk living in the river. No fists and no courage, the job is a disorderly rank."

This comes from a sentence in "Xiaoya · Clever Words", preceded by the more famous paragraph "Smart words are like springs, and the face is thick."

All the young ladies here don't think there is anything wrong with Du Zhilan's words to mock Du Heng. Originally, the identities of concubine daughters and concubine daughters are very different. They are doomed to fight since they were born. Besides, concubine daughters must never be inferior under.

Just as they recalled the poems that Du Heng had shot for a while, they found that Du Zhilan's face was very embarrassed for the first time.

Du Zhilan knew that what Du Heng shot came from "Zuo Zhuan":
At the beginning, Chu Ziyu was Qiongbian Yuying himself, but he was not convinced.In the first battle, the God of Menghe said to himself: "Give me more, and I will give you the elk of Meng Zhu.

The passage in "Zuo Zhuan" tells that Ziyu of the Chu State ignored the people of Shen and Xi for a set of Qiongbian jade tassels for horses, and lost Meng Zhu.

In the end, King Cheng of Chu wanted to question Ziyu, and Ziyu committed suicide when he walked to Liangu.

"Du Heng, what do you mean!" Du Zhilan, who was wearing jingle bells, stood up abruptly, and the Yingluo on her chest rose and fell violently with her chest.

She is a young girl, with a lot of dexterity and thoughtfulness, and there are not many jewels and jade decorations on the Yingluo, but the tassels that she wove, with bright colors and various shapes, are quite ingenious.

Now tied around her neck, it has become a joke!
Du Heng looked at her like this, and her slightly childish eyebrows and eyes still seemed to be so unremarkable, but she didn't dare to be stared at: "What does my sister say, it's just a matter of courtesy."

After finishing speaking, without looking at the faces of everyone present, he recited two lines of poems:

"Spring and prosperity both want to thank you, but you can't wake up from sorrow like wine.

Toast the east wind (spring wind) with wine, and be calm together",
Then he walked out the door with a smile.

This is obviously the first time Du Zhilan has slapped the words. It turns out that she has shot it a long time ago, but why did she choose Su Zizhan's work when he was exiled in Danzhou?
Is it just to deal with Du Zhilan's "Settling the Storm"?

Ladies present here don't think so, Du Zhilan chose "Fixing the Storm" because of her careful thinking about showing off her skills.

But what Du Heng is against, it is hard not to think of Zhang Dun who regarded Su Zizhan as a friend in the first half of his life and an enemy in the second half of his life.

Du Zhilan fought like a black-eyed chicken, biting Du Heng relentlessly. She regarded herself as Su Zizhan, but in fact she acted the same way as Zhang Dun.

The most frustrating thing is that Du Heng secretly mocked her in the first round, but Du Zhilan didn't know it, it's really... too embarrassing.

***
It has been half a month since Lin Zhijun became Du Heng. In the past half month, she was often as preoccupied as she was just now, and she felt that the death on the execution platform was like a big dream.

Besides, Du Heng's deity did kowtow to his head accidentally that day, so she still felt a little headache from time to time.

For the past half month, she has been staying out of the gate, one reason is that she really can't go out, and the other is that she is weak and needs rest.

Today, she was dragged out by her "sister-in-law" to play shooting games in other people's houses, and she began to really plan for the future.

She has met Du Zhilan before, and her appearance is considered good. Today, it seems that it is not worthy of the name; as a concubine, Du Heng really has no sense of presence in the circle, and Du Zhilan probably pulls it out for comparison every time.
