The cannon fodder through the book will live to the end

Tao Anran heard what he said, and couldn't help asking: "Then aren't you going back to Jiangnan?"

But as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he immediately realized that he was wrong.Qu Zhishui came here to treat Xiao Jingyu's illness, and it was impossible to leave easily.

Tao Anran was about to say something to remedy, when Qu Zhishui said leisurely, "Maybe I will be able to return to Jiangnan in a short time."

Tao Anran:? !

Perhaps it was because the expression on Tao Anran's face was too obvious, Qu Zhishui quickly changed the subject and said, "Has the princess ever played willow shooting?"

"Shooting willows?" Tao Anran had never heard of it.

Qu Zhishui immediately explained: "Shooting willows is a game played in this season. Put the pigeons into the gourd, and then hang the gourd on the willow tree. Everyone bends their bows and shoots arrows, and the height of the pigeon's flight is judged by the height of the gourd. It's about winning and losing. It's exciting to have a lottery game every once in a while."

Tao Anran couldn't help being interested, and quickly said: "So there is such a game? I haven't seen it before. But I don't know how to shoot arrows either."

Qu Zhishui continued: "This game is not only about archery, but also about luck. Sometimes, if you hit the gourd, maybe the pigeon will be too frightened to fly, and then it will be considered a loss. It doesn't matter if the princess can't shoot arrows. You can also fight tea, enjoy flowers and release paper kites. Anyway, it’s a beautiful spring, and it’s time to play and have fun.”

Tao Anran nodded, and echoed: "Indeed, this spring is beautiful and suitable for outings. By the way, is Dr. Qu busy? If not, why not go out and have fun together. By the way, take Angelica with you, children should I like flying paper kites."

Qu Zhishui did not expect to be invited, but he did not leave the house for a long time after thinking about it.Dang Gui also followed him in the mansion all the time, which is not good.Children still need to go out and walk around more.

So, he nodded with a smile and said, "Since the concubine invites you, it's better to be respectful than obey your orders. It's better to hit the sun than to choose a date. Today's weather is just right, so why don't we wait a while and set off. It just so happens that I go back to pack up and let Angelica get ready. "

Tao Anran didn't expect Qu Zhishui to be so straightforward, but that's okay, he also wants to go out for a stroll.So he quickly replied: "Then you go back and pack up, I will also prepare some things to bring with me."

Qu Zhishui immediately nodded and retreated.

Tao Anran hastily ordered Bai Lu and Han Lu beside her to prepare the things for going out for an outing.It's best to bring something to eat, pastries, etc., so that they can stay outside for a while.

Tao Anran was turning his back to the door to give instructions, when Bai Lu Hanlu suddenly greeted him behind his back, "See you, my lord."

When Tao Anran turned her head, it was indeed Xiao Jingyu who came over.He hastily greeted, "My lord, you are here."

Xiao Jingyu nodded and asked: "I just saw Qu Zhishui leave in a hurry, is there something wrong? But, is there anything wrong with your body?"

Tao Anran quickly explained: "I'm fine. We were going to go out for an outing, and he hurried back to get ready."

Xiao Jingyu raised his eyebrows and said, "Traveling? You and Qu Zhishui?"

His tone was a little subtle.

But Tao Anran didn't notice it, and continued: "Yes, I will bring Bailu Hanlu, Doctor Qu will bring Angelica, and we will go for an outing together."

Xiao Jingyu's complexion was a little subtle, and he said in a slightly lonely tone: "Of course, why didn't you call me when you went for an outing?"

Hearing these words, Tao Anran couldn't help asking: "But my lord, aren't you going to be busy with official duties?"

Xiao Jingyu looked at him seriously and said, "I've been busy with official duties recently, and I finally got some free time today. I wanted to take Ranran outside to enjoy the spring and ride a horse for a walk. Unexpectedly, Ranran only wanted to go out with Qu Zhishui and the others Outing."

Hearing this, Tao Anran should have felt sorry.But his thoughts turned a corner, and he suddenly said: "Yes, there are horses. My Baiyun has been raised in the stable for a winter, and it's time to pull it out."

Tao Anran realized something after he finished speaking. He looked at Xiao Jingyu's darkened face, and hurriedly said: "My lord, why don't we go out for an outing together. It just happens that there are more people and it's more lively. And you can also take a look at my current riding You were the one who taught me how to ride a horse back then."

Xiao Jingyu nodded slowly, and said: "That's how it is. Let's go for an outing, and bring Qu Zhishui and the others along. I'll also come to experience Ranran's riding skills."

As a result, the team that was originally just a few people turned into a group of people and left the house for an outing.

It was rare to be so leisurely, Tao Anran rode his beloved horse Baiyun and walked slowly.After a winter of feeding, Baiyun also grew taller.But it still recognizes its master, sniffing when it sees Tao Anran coming.

Seeing this, Tao Anran was naturally very happy.Although Bai Yun has grown a little taller, his riding skills have not deteriorated.Although the movements were a little jerky at the beginning, after taking two steps on the horse, I became proficient.

Along the way, Qu Zhishui and Angelica rode in a carriage, Tao Anran and Xiao Jingyu rode horses, and the other attendants also rode horses to follow.The group stopped by the river in the outskirts.The name of the river is Linghe, and there are willow trees on both sides. Not far from it is a peach blossom forest, which is a good place to enjoy spring and play.

And at this time, it was obvious that not only they came out to play, but also other people came here to enjoy the scenery.In the peach blossom forest, the flowers are blooming brilliantly, and there are many people under the trees who either break the branches and sniff lightly, or sit cross-legged under the trees and just enjoy the flowers quietly.

The spring breeze was blowing, and the willow branches were swaying. When Tao Anran saw the willow tree, he couldn't help but think of the game of shooting willow that Dr. Qu said earlier.

Just when Qu Zhishui got out of the carriage and saw the willow trees on both sides, he couldn't help saying: "My lord, since I saw the willow trees, how about playing a game of shooting willows?"

Tao Anran heard this, and looked at Xiao Jingyu full of expectation, he also wanted to play this game.

Seeing this, Xiao Jingyu smiled lightly and said, "In this spring, we really should play Sheliu. Qu Zhishui, why don't we have a competition."

Qu Zhishui saw that someone immediately put gourds on the willow tree, and knew in her heart that Xiao Jingyu had come prepared.But he is a veteran of willow shooting, so he is not afraid.

So he also said with a smile: "Of course there is a competition. But my lord, why don't you add some prizes?"

Xiao Jingyu raised his eyebrows and said, "Caitou, what do you want?"

Qu Zhishui rubbed her hands, said with a chuckle, "There are blood ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum in the storeroom in the house, you can use them as a lottery."

Snow ginseng and Millennium Ganoderma lucidum are the most important treasures in the storehouse of the mansion, and they are also the few remaining treasures.This song Zhishui turned out to have taken a fancy to them.

Xiao Jingyu turned to look at Tao Anran with a half smile, and asked, "However, Qu Zhishui wants snow ginseng and ganoderma lucidum to be a prize, shall we agree?"

Tao Anran looked puzzled, and replied: "The prince can decide this matter himself."

Xiao Jingyu continued: "Of course, you are in charge of the government office now. I should discuss with you about all the big and small things in the government. Besides, blood ginseng and ganoderma are not small things, we should think about it carefully." ."

Tao Anran thought about it, he had seen blood ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum in the warehouse.He also heard from Steward Li that it was a treasure brought from the capital.It seems a bit arrogant to regard them as a lottery now.But seeing Xiao Jingyu's expression, he didn't seem to care much.

Tao Anran glanced at Xiao Jingyu, and then said: "This can be used as a lottery, but it can't be just us. What is Dr. Qu's lottery?"

Xiao Jingyu continued from the side: "Qu Zhishui, the concubine and I took out such a precious lottery, your lottery can't be worse!"

Qu Zhishui said with a smile: "My lottery? How about using my service for three years? If I lose, I will use my medical skills and give you three years of free medical treatment."

Now not only Xiao Jingyu's face turned dark, but the corners of Tao Anran's mouth also twitched.What a great move by Dr. Qu, the white wolf with empty gloves!

Qu Zhishui still boasted and said: "You know my medical skills. People who wanted to see me used to line up from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, and I didn't take a high-level look. But this time is different, I will do my best To see a doctor for you. Even if you don't need it in the future, the princess can use it."

Tao Anran was unable to complain anymore.Isn't this the same as what he does now as a doctor in the mansion?

Xiao Jingyu also said with a dark face: "Do you treat me as a fool? How is this different from what you are doing now!"

Qu Zhishui smiled meaningfully, and said: "Well, sometimes I don't try my best, of course only I know. And the blood ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum are also stored in the warehouse, why not give it to me, and let me make the best of it use."

Xiao Jingyu was shocked by his thick skin, he stopped discussing this issue, and said directly: "If you want blood ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, it depends on whether you have the ability. Since you are playing willow shooting, let you experience this King's Archery."

Qu Zhishui was not afraid at all, and said calmly: "Since I have won the lottery, I am naturally confident to win. And the game of willow shooting is not just about archery, luck is also a part. And my luck has always been very good."

Between the two of them, swords were on the verge of breaking out, and the atmosphere was anxious.Tao Anran was stunned watching from the side, but it was just playing a game, so he shouldn't be so serious.

Moreover, Tao Anran originally wanted to play with himself, but he had never shot an arrow before, and he only wanted to practice his hand later.But looking at this posture now, he suppressed his eagerness to move.In front of two masters, he should not show his face as a rookie.

At this time, six gourds have been tied to various positions on the willow trees on the bank, and the sound of the pigeon's wings flapping can be heard in the gourds, which then drive the willow branches to sway.The target is wobbly, and if you want to hit it, you must have good archery skills.How high the next pigeons can fly depends on luck.

Tao Anran looked at Xiao Jingyu and Qu Zhi sailors holding bows and arrows, standing five or six feet away, ready to go.Moreover, Qu Zhishui rarely tucked the hem of his clothes into his belt, showing a different sophistication than usual.

The two sides are ready, and the atmosphere is on the verge of breaking out.
