Chapter 37 Trivialities in the Palace
"Wow, scissors!"
Mu Ling took the scissors, and at this time another question came to his mind, the tree is climbing, but how to prune it.
Mu Ling's left and right strokes, casually cut, this time the leaves fell loudly, as if the sky was raining leaves, when Xiao Yue took a pair of scissors again, looked at Mu Ling stunned.
"You... This..."
The leaves of a large tree were forcibly pruned into a peach shape by the wooden ling, with a bewitching curve, and a few green leaves protruding from the chassis just enough to set off the whole peach.
Mu Ling didn't feel anything wrong, such a hard handicraft is really rare, this Sui Yuyuan is good, but it lacks a little vitality.
"Satsuki, look at how I pruned..."
Xiaoyue doesn't taste a taste, pruning leaves only needs to remove excess residual leaves and branches, as for the shape is best to be consistent into a pyramid shape, which becomes a green leaf peach... Satsuki can't make a judgment either.
"Mu Ling, you're so well pruned... But..."
Mu Ling preemptively said before she heard the second half of Xiao Yue's sentence, "In that case, then I have to finish pruning quickly." ”
"Mu Ling..."
"What animals or fruits do you like?"
After Mu Ling asked, Xiao Yue didn't like it, so she said a word with palpitations, "Snake." ”
"Snakes?"
"I'd like to think about how the snake should be cut..."Mu Ling thought that the snake was a bit like a dragon, but the concept of a snake and a dragon was completely different.
The body of the snake is very smooth, and the body of the dragon has dragon scales.
The snake that winds and circles, this is a bit of a test of cutting ability, but since it is Xiaoyue's request, he must do his best to make a look, one is not like it, the other is doing it, and there is always a tree in the entire Suiyuyuan that looks like it.
"Satsuki, then I'll fix it first. ”
"Good. Xiaoyue agreed, and did not forget to help Mu Ling prune.
Xiao Yue acted according to the usual pruning, while Mu Ling completely followed her own thoughts, playing in the east and cutting in the west. None of those who passed through her hands were not strangely shaped, some were like snakes, some were like a ball of dung, and some were like buns gnawed by dogs.
When the wood was pruned, the whole person collapsed on the tree, listlessly like a camel walking in the desert.
Xiao Yue looked at Mu Ling's masterpiece, the leaves she pruned were strangely shaped, as if they had gone through some catastrophe, forming a natural comparison with herself, and there was no harm without contrast.
Xiao Yue sighed helplessly, so many trees have been pruned like this, she can only look at Mama Xiao and don't say anything, Mu Ling is the first time to come to Sui Yuyuan, but according to Mu Ling, she saved the life of the king... I can live in Suiyuyuan... It shows that Mama Xiao doesn't dare to do anything to her.
Thinking about it like this, Xiao Yue felt that there would be no problems, so she beckoned Mu Ling.
"The trees in this Suiyu Garden are almost pruned, you must be a little hungry, right?"
Mu Ling shook her head, this is not just a slight hunger, I am afraid that I will faint from hunger if I don't eat a few bites of staple food.
"When I came to this palace, I didn't finish a mouthful of food except for some water, and I was already hungry, if it weren't for a few fruit trees in this Suiyu Garden, I am afraid I would have died a long time ago. ”
"It seems that you have just entered the palace and don't know where to get food, so I'll take you there, and there will only be some leftovers left when it's late. ”
Xiao Yue took Mu Ling's hand and galloped towards the outside of Sui Yu Garden, as soon as she came out of Sui Yu Garden, Mu Ling seemed to be in another world, compared with Sui Yu Garden, it was more like a labyrinth, the high walls were inlaid with marble, and the meticulous carving technology on the wall made the entire mural lifelike, even the ornaments inlaid on the door were carved so finely, but what is incredible is that most of the depictions are snakes and other animals.
In the past, the human world seen in the book believed in the true dragon, and the son of destiny was even more auspicious, how did he become a snake when he got to the little mute, could it be that the carver blurred his eyes and removed a few feet, and he didn't bother to get it.
Seeing that Mu Ling was fascinated by the pattern, Xiao Yue pulled the corner of Mu Ling's clothes, "Why do you have to hurry up, the ordinary meal time needs to be before the hour, if it's late, you can't dine." The master usually eats before you wait, which causes us slaves to have a short meal time. ”
Mu Ling came back to her senses and followed Xiao Yue through the corridor and ran forward, and on the way, she also happened to meet a few maids who were whispering, some of them pointed in front of Xiao Yue, all of which Xiao Yue was particularly sensitive, as if she could clearly understand what the other party was talking about from a few meters away.
At first, Mu Ling, who was pulled by Xiao Yue, didn't feel the discriminatory glances cast by several people at Xiao Yue, and then a particularly harsh voice came into Mu Ling's ears.
"So our ugly monsters have made friends!"
Mu Ling's heart was slightly shocked, the wind blowing more and more fiercely with her steps, and the sound gradually faded away, but the aftermath was still swirling in her ears.
Mu Ling ran quickly, looking at the girl in front of her who had been running hard, as if she didn't care about anything, but Mu Ling followed her pace faster and faster.
When she saw the three big words in the imperial dining room, Xiao Yue finally stopped, turned her head to look at Mu Ling, who was exhaling and laughing wildly.
"Mu Ling, why is your little body so can't help running, I used to run so far without breathing. ”
Mu Ling waved her hand, wiped the sweat on her face, and gasped, "Don't, I've been locked in my room since I was a child, where do I get the time to exercise." ”
"I see, just now you told me, I won't run so fast. ”
"Hurry up, hurry up, let's eat! The door closes when the time comes. ”
"Oh oh oh!"
Mu Ling followed Xiao Yue's footsteps into the imperial dining room, which was only a few servants who were still eating.
Mu Ling looked at what they were eating, coarse tea and light rice, and a few small cabbages and some bottomed rice in the bowl next to her. And the surrounding is full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, there are roasted whole sheep that seem to be flowing oil, and there are some dishes that Mu Ling can't call.
With such a spacious dining room and so many delicacies, why do they eat so simply?
Just when Mu Ling was puzzled, Xiao Yue had already filled a bowl of scraped and scraped rice.
"Mu Ling, you can eat it first!"
Mu Ling looked at the white rice in the bowl, there was a small dark cabbage on it, and she looked very unappetizing, and her stomach, which was already noisy, instantly stopped.
"There's so much food here, why do we eat so easily... miserable..."
Mu Ling took the wooden chopsticks and was about to pick up the delicious dishes next to her, when a reprimand came from the side, "Don't move! The toad wants to eat swan meat? Which ignorant subordinate is this? These are the food used by the masters, if there is a shortage of catties or two, don't blame us tomorrow." ”
"Why can they eat but I can't?" Mu Ling slammed back at the maid.
