At Old Master Dong's fiftieth birthday celebration, he took a lame country girl from the north as his concubine.
Someone remarked, "A wild goose has come to visit."
The Dong family's second young master looked at the country-style dressed girl's crooked foot and sneered, "More like a wild goose with a broken leg."
At the time, he probably never imagined that this broken-legged goose would one day fly far and wide, north, south, east, and west, until he could never find her again.
This duck's head isn't that girl's head. Where would she get osmanthus oil for her hair?
He didn't get any osmanthus oil, and ended up with a broken back instead!

The illegitimate son pressed her at every turn.
She said, "It is not an auspicious day to travel."
But he replied, "It is an auspicious day to visit friends and relatives."
"What relatives and friends?"
"Relatives who can become even closer, and friends who will stay by your side forever."
Inspired by the drinking-game verses Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun composed in Chapter 62 of Dream of the Red Chamber.
