"What the hell?" Du Yu clearly hadn't understood. "Reading cups on horseback, recognizing a crowd of ladies at a glance? Is this some kind of consort-selection skill?"
"It's 'reading steles on horseback, recognizing a flock of sheep at a glance.'"
"Let me explain," Dong Qianqiu said. "In modern scientific terms, Su Qin had astonishing instantaneous memory. 'Reading steles on horseback' means that once, Su Qin rode past a stone stele on a fast horse and memorized its entire inscription in that fleeting moment. 'Recognizing a flock of sheep at a glance' means something similar.
