"Du Heng! It's your turn! Why are you so dazed! If you can't do it, you shouldn't have appeared here in the first place! It's just embarrassing." Du Zhilan looked at this concubine with great disgust, as if she felt deeply embarrassed.

"Miss, Miss! Come to your senses quickly! Don't scare Jingse, wuwu~" Jingshui shrank her shoulders and gently pushed her behind Du Heng who was sitting in the corner.

My young lady has been in a trance for the past two days. She told the eldest lady that she wanted to prescribe some medicine, but the eldest lady was so weird that she didn't take it to heart. Looking at it today, has this aphantasia occurred again?

Du Heng still looked so distracted, without even looking at Du Zhilan, he flicked the dice and rolled out a four.

Du Zhilan's face flashed with joy. The number she rolled happened to match hers, and she was rushing to make a raft for herself!

"Du Heng, don't blame my eldest sister for bullying you. Listen carefully, my eldest sister said the word 'wine'."

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

At this time, Du Zhilan smiled knowingly: "Fourth sister, it's okay if you can't guess it. The worst thing I can do is ask you to 'shoot twice and shoot'. Listen carefully, the second character of my sister is 'mountain'"

.”

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

The poem she chose should be: The cool spring breeze blows away the drunkenness, it is slightly cold, but the mountain tops are shining slantingly.

If you look at it this way, she is not bullying Du Heng. They are in Changchun Garden. Besides, who doesn't like to read Su Zizhan's poems?

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

The second half of the poem is "Looking back to the desolate place, when I return, there is no wind or rain or sunshine." It attracted her and actually added some magnanimity to her.

Of course, it is normal for Du Heng to be unable to ejaculate. After all, no one would have much expectations for a concubine with no outstanding appearance and no talent.

What the other ladies were thinking was that Du Zhilan had really got it right.

"Fanner." Du Heng still looked like he wasn't looking at anyone. He stared out the window blankly and spat out one word.

The spring flags are victorious, and a spring breeze blows away the drunkenness. It is not like the end of the world, which rolls up poplar flowers like snowflakes.

Well, I didn’t expect that this ordinary concubine of the Du family has something else. She still uses Su Zizhan’s poems for shooting, which is a bit interesting.

Du Zhilan's face was a little deformed for a moment, and then she smiled nonchalantly, "That's right, sister, I'd like to give you a drink!"

Du Zhilan raised the cup at Du Heng from a distance, but Du Heng finally turned around and drank a glass of wine in silence.

Du Zhilan was under her sleeves, but she clenched her fists.

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

Du Zhilan's heart sank. She wanted to see who would win this time!

"Fourth sister, please listen carefully. My sister still wants you to 'cover twice and shoot'. The two characters for my first sister are 'river' and 'level', and the thing that my first sister covered is on this table."

Everyone followed the sound and saw that what was on the table was nothing more than some melons, fruits, tea, wine, and candied fruits. 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 thing Du Zhilan had covered one by one and had no clue, Du Heng still looked the same as before. He didn't even look at the table and shot the word "礹".

Everyone guessed again, and then they realized that Du Zhilan had written the word "elk". Wasn't there a box of elk breasts on the table?

Du Zhilan's original poem should be "He is a man living in a river. He has no fists and no courage, and his job is in chaos."

This sentence comes from "Xiaoya·Qiaoyan", preceded by Duan's more famous "Qiaoyan is like a spring, and the face is thick."

The eldest ladies present here don’t think there is anything wrong with Du Zhilan’s mocking of Du Heng. Originally, there was a huge difference in status between a concubine and a legitimate daughter. They were destined to fight from the moment they were born. Moreover, a legitimate daughter must never be subordinated to a concubine. below.

Just as they thought about Du Heng's poem for a while, they found that Du Zhilan looked very embarrassed for the first time.

Du Zhilan knew that the source of Du Heng's shot was "Zuo Zhuan":

At the beginning, Chu Ziyu was a Qiong Bian jade tassel, but he was not convinced. He fought first, and Menghe God said to him: "Give me a gift, and I will give my daughter Meng Zhu's Mi.

This passage in "Zuo Zhuan" tells that Ziyu of Chu State abandoned Meng Zhu for a set of Qiongbian jade tassels for horses, ignoring the people of Shen Xi.

Finally, King Chu Cheng wanted to accuse Ziyu, but Ziyu committed suicide when he walked to Liangu.

"Du Heng, what do you mean!" Du Zhilan, who was wearing jingles on her body, suddenly stood up, and the necklace on her chest also rose and fell violently.

She is a young girl, and she is clever and thoughtful. There are not many pearls and jade decorations on the necklace. Instead, it is a tassel made by herself. The colors are bright and colorful, and the shapes are various, which is quite ingenious.

Now that it is tied around her neck, it has become a joke!

Du Heng looked at her like this. Her slightly childish features seemed to be as unremarkable as ever, but he didn't dare to let anyone look at her: "What did you say, sister? It's just courtesy."

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

“Spring and prosperity are about to wither, and sorrow is like being drunk and unable to wake up.

Let’s toast the east wind (spring breeze) with wine, and let’s be calm together.”

Then he walked out the door with a smile.

This is obviously the first time Du Zhilan has written a poem. It turns out that she had already planned it, but why did she choose the one written by Su Zizhan when he was exiled in Danzhou?

Is it just for Du Zhilan's "Ding Feng Bo"?

The ladies here don't think so. Du Zhilan chose "Ding Fengbo" because she had a little thought in showing off her skills.

As for Du Heng's character, it is difficult not to think of Zhang Dun, who regarded Su Zizhan as his friend in the first half of his life and his enemy in the second half of his life.

Du Zhilan fought like a black-eyed rooster, clinging to Du Heng. She regarded herself as Su Zizhan, but in reality her behavior was no different from Zhang Dun's.

The most depressing thing is that Du Heng secretly mocked her in the first round, and Du Zhilan didn't even know it. It was really... so embarrassing.

***

It has been half a month since Lin Zhijun turned into Du Heng. During this half month, she has often been as lost in thought as she was just now, especially when her death on the execution platform was like a big dream.

Besides, Du Heng himself accidentally knocked his head before leaving that day, so she still felt a little headache from time to time.

In the past half month, she has been staying at home. Firstly, she cannot go out, and secondly, her body is weak and she needs to rest.

Today, after being dragged out by her "sister-in-law" to play with someone else's house, she began to really plan her future.

She had met Du Zhilan before, and her appearance was considered good, but today it seemed that she was really not worthy of her name; as a concubine, Du Heng really had no sense of presence in the circle, and she was probably pulled out by Du Zhilan for comparison every time.
