A tyrant develops a daily life

Chapter 82 Triumph
The old lady's birthday is approaching, and the Lin family is busy, from the uncle to Xiao Yunzhi, everyone is preparing gifts for the old lady.Lin Chong originally prepared the blood swallow, but later the blood swallow was eaten by Gu Qingluan. Although he hadn't finished eating it, he couldn't give it away after all, especially since Gu Qingluan said that there was something mixed in the blood swallow, so he was even more afraid to take it out.

Fortunately, Lin Chong has been an imperial merchant for the past few years, and he has collected a lot of things from all over the world, so it is not difficult to choose a congratulatory gift.

Xiao Yunzhi prepared a painting for the old lady. He is young and his wrist strength is not enough. It is impossible to paint by himself. Gu Qingluan outlined the outline for him and asked him to paint it by himself.In the afternoon, when Lin Miaomiao was practicing calligraphy, Xiao Yunzhi practiced his own painting at the side. After a period of time, Xiao Yunzhi's temperament has calmed down a lot.

Lin Miaomiao's congratulatory gifts were not available, and she couldn't sell the things she made herself. It seemed that she had to go to the street to buy them, but her time was occupied by Gu Qingluan from morning till night, so where could she find time?Seeing that her birthday was approaching, Lin Miaomiao had to ask Gu Qingluan for leave.

"Well, go ahead, I'll let you go on vacation in the afternoon." Gu Qingluan said calmly.

Lin Miaomiao was taken aback when she heard the words, did she agree so easily?

"Thank you Miss Gu." Afraid that Gu Qingluan would regret it, Lin Miaomiao turned around and left!

"Wait a minute." Gu Qingluan stopped Lin Miaomiao, and Lin Miaomiao's heart was pounding, she wouldn't regret it so soon, would she?
"I will go with you."

"Eh?" Lin Miaomiao turned her head and looked at Gu Qingluan in a daze.

Gu Qingluan said: "No matter what you say, I live in your house, and it's the old lady's birthday, so I should talk about my feelings."

Lin Miaomiao looked her over suspiciously from head to toe: "You really didn't want to follow me?" I always felt that Master wanted to put himself under her nose all day long.

Gu Qingluan snorted disdainfully: "Who do you think you are? My daughter-in-law? Follow you, you really put gold on your face!"

No, no, why are you yelling at her again? !Lin Miaomiao glared at her resentfully, and asked someone to prepare the car and go out.

The battle at the border is intense, but the capital is still bustling. I don’t know who told me last time that the sky at the border was dyed red by the blood mist, but the sky in the capital is as blue as a blue sea. Under this blue sea, the bones of soldiers are piled up. bustling.

The doors of the shops were all open, and the street was filled with various small stalls, pedestrians crowded shoulder to shoulder, and the carriage couldn't move an inch. Lin Miaomiao and Gu Qingluan abandoned the car and took their maids to stroll on the street.

The old lady just got a pair of cinnabar swords a few days ago, and she liked it quite a lot. Lin Miaomiao wanted to give the old lady a novel and unique fish tank. After visiting several porcelain shops, she didn't find one she was satisfied with, so she went to an antique shop to try her luck. .

Lin Miaomiao remembered that Princess Jing liked to collect antiques the most, but it was a pity that she smashed a room of antiques to pieces. Thinking about it now, it seems like it just happened yesterday.

"Antique Shop." Gu Qingluan's eyes lit up.

This antique store was newly opened two years ago, but it has a large supply of goods and a good reputation, and its business is very good.

The guys all went to entertain the guests, and the shopkeeper went to the battle in person to welcome the two of them in.

The shopkeeper has seen countless people, and I have never seen such a stunning woman, who looks like she walked out of a mural. The younger one looks cute and ignorant, while the older one is a bit domineering, probably feeling being looked at. The girl suddenly looked this way, with cold and arrogant eyes, like ice knives, poking the shopkeeper with fear!

Gu Qingluan rolled his eyes.

"Boss, I want to buy a fish tank." Lin Miaomiao said politely.

The shopkeeper smiled gently: "What kind of fish?"

"Cinnabar sword."

"Cinnabar Sword..." The shopkeeper thought for a while, his eyes lit up, "Girl, please wait a moment, there seems to be a glazed jar in the storeroom, I'll show you!"

Lin Miaomiao nodded slightly: "I'm sorry."

Not long after, the shopkeeper brought over the glazed jar, which is a translucent vessel, shaped like a large bowl, in seven colors, with lifelike cranes engraved on it, which means prolonging life, there is no more suitable gift than it .

Lin Miaomiao asked the shopkeeper to wrap it up, and on the other side, Gu Qingluan also finished picking out her own things, and the table was full.

Lin Miaomiao was dumbfounded: "Is this... all for my grandmother?" Is it too much? !

Gu Qingluan shook his fan, and said solemnly: "Of course, you have to be cautious about gifts for the elderly. I will buy them back first, and then choose carefully!"

Is it what you want?Lin Miaomiao knew that Gu Qingluan had no money, so she took out a bank note from her purse and asked the shopkeeper, "How much together?"

"Together is..." The shopkeeper began to make calculations.

Gu Qingluan held Lin Miaomiao's hand that took out the bank note: "No, you buy yours, I pay for it myself."

"Are you rich?" Lin Miaomiao asked.

"Who told you that you can't buy things without money?" Gu Qingluan raised her eyebrows arrogantly, and took out a scroll of scrolls from her wide sleeves, "This painting is more than enough to buy these things, right?"

Lin Miaomiao blinked in confusion.

The shopkeeper opened the scroll, and it was a lotus-picking ink painting. A woman wearing a bamboo hat was boating in a lotus pond, and she stuck out a white hand to pick the newly grown lotus. The woman was kneeling on the boat, her face covered by the bamboo hat. Wait, the only thing that can be seen is the white jade-like hand, even so, it can still make people feel a pure beauty.

Painting, it’s a good painting, but——

"Excuse me, which famous artist's work is it?" asked the shopkeeper.

Gu Qingluan pulled Qingsi together, and smiled gracefully: "Princess Jing."

Lin Miaomiao's eyes just stared!
The shopkeeper opened his mouth wide.

Gu Qingluan smiled and said: "Princess Jing, you should have heard of it, right? Her calligraphy and paintings were hard to come by back then, and even her scrapped copybooks were sold at a high price of ten taels of gold. This girl is in a good mood today. A complete picture of picking lotus, sold to you cheap!"

The shopkeeper touched the abacus under his hand and smiled: "Girl, you should take this calligraphy and painting back."

Gu Qingluan smiled arrogantly: "What? You don't want it? Do you know how many people begged to buy Princess Jing's calligraphy and paintings but couldn't buy them? I thought you were a good person, so I was willing to bear the pain and give up."

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Those people are not begging to buy calligraphy and paintings, they are begging for a chance to please King Jing's mansion. Now, Princess Jing is dead and King Jing is no longer in the capital. Buy her calligraphy and paintings? I didn't say that, at this level, any painter can draw better than her!"

As he spoke, he smiled and said, "You'd better give me the money!"

After getting into the carriage, Gu Qingluan's entire face turned red. What happened just now was enough for her to be named the most embarrassing person of the year.

She threw the calligraphy and painting on the sitting board, looked at Lin Miaomiao who didn't buy anything, and said, "You are showing loyalty."

Lin Miaomiao muttered: "It's not because of you that I didn't buy anything from his house. I just can't bear him slandering Princess Jing like that."

"It's all the same." Gu Qingluan said casually.

"What's the difference? You're not Princess Jing."

"I... I also like Princess Jing." Gu Qingluan smiled sweetly.

"I didn't see it." Lin Miaomiao glanced at her lightly, "If you like it, how can you pretend to be her stuff to bluff?"

Gu Qingluan's face darkened: "Who is counterfeiting her? Who is bluffing?"

"Do you dare to say that this is really Princess Jing's calligraphy and painting?" Lin Miaomiao handed the scroll to her.

"Of course!" She raised her chin.

Lin Miaomiao didn't believe it: "Then how did it get into your hands?"

Gu Qingluan knocked on the fan, and said casually: "Princess Jing gave it to my distant relative Huiren, and Huiren gave it to me, why? Jealousy? I still have a lot, I'll give you another one!"

Lin Miaomiao snorted, opened the curtain, looked out, and said in surprise, "Huh? Lady Hui?"

Gu Qingluan lay on the wall of the car!
Lin Miaomiao poked her on the back: "I'm lying to you, there is no Lady Hui."

"You girl, are you cheating on me?"

"Who told you to lie to me first?"

Gu Qingluan's heart skipped a beat, this girl wouldn't have seen her...

"Isn't this painting Princess Jing's?" Lin Miaomiao asked.

Gu Qingluan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, almost thinking that this girl was going to say, you are not Huiren's relative at all, are you?

"Yes so what? No so what?" She asked lightly.

Lin Miaomiao said with a dark face: "You are not allowed to steal the name of Princess Jing again, otherwise, I will tell my father about it and see if he will let you be my wife!"

"I know, I know!" Gu Qingluan frowned impatiently, and whispered: "I've been dead for so many years, and I still can't forget..." The corners of her lips curled up unconsciously.

After that, the two went to another antique store. Lin Miaomiao bought a more beautiful fish tank, and Gu Qingluan also chose more antiques, all of which were paid by Lin Miaomiao.

When I came out of the antique shop, the sky was getting darker, and all the stalls that only haunted the night market were set up, and the number of pedestrians doubled. Lin Miaomiao asked the driver to go around the alley, but there were too many people in the alley, so it was blocked. Living.

Lin Miaomiao ate chestnut cake out of boredom.

"Mom, why do we buy such expensive things?"

"Old Madam Lin is celebrating her birthday, of course she has to give you an expensive gift!"

Mrs. Lin, do you mean grandma?Lin Miaomiao put down the chestnut cake, opened a corner of the curtain, and looked at the other party. It was a middle-aged woman and a girl who were dressed in luxurious clothes, and their appearance was somewhat familiar.

The girl spoke again, with a reluctant tone: "It's just a distant relative, my own grandmother has never seen my elder brother being so caring!"

The middle-aged woman said angrily: "Oh, your eldest brother is going to marry the daughter of the Lin family, what can you do if you don't coax the old lady well?"

The girl snorted disdainfully: "What's so good about the daughter of the Lin family? The elder brother is the number one scholar! Is she worthy?"

Hearing this, Lin Miaomiao was already able to confirm that the daughter they were talking about was herself. Pei Lang mentioned before that he brought his parents into the capital, and the two in front of him must be his stepmother and half-sister. The mother-in-law and sister-in-law of the previous life.

She always thought that sister-in-law liked her very much, but she didn't expect that when she mentioned herself, she would be so disdainful.

The girl spoke again, holding the woman's arm and coquettishly: "Mother, it's better to be a princess, let the elder brother marry the princess! If the elder brother becomes the son-in-law, we will all be relatives of the emperor!"

The woman said earnestly: "Silly girl, what's so good about a son-in-law? A son-in-law cannot be an official. Your elder brother has a bright future, so you can't be buried in the hands of a woman! Besides, if you marry a princess, don't expect her to be filial to your parents-in-law, no! It would be nice to kowtow to her all day long!"

Lin Miaomiao put down the curtain and sighed softly, the in-laws really weighed the pros and cons.

July 31st, the old lady's birthday.

The Pei family loaded the gifts into the carriage in the early hours of the morning, and entered the mansion at dawn to celebrate the old lady's birthday and propose marriage to Lin Miaomiao.

At dawn the carriage set off.

At the same time, the morning light fell on the majestic city tower, reflecting a cold and solemn light.

Under the city tower, a thousand imperial guards stood all over the street, looking at the direction of the city gate in a uniform manner. The city gate with big iron nails was slowly opened. Everyone clasped their fists and knelt on the ground on one knee.

Between the sky and the earth, there was a cry of shocking the sky and suppressing the clouds.

"Congratulations, my son—"
