C99 A Hill-like Gift

"It's him." The singer said, "Although Assistant Minister Liu didn't come himself this time, he obviously didn't forget the madame's birthday banquet."    

    

"I heard that the old madam is Assistant Minister Liu's wet nurse?"    

    

"That's right." This person had obviously been here for a long time and knew a little about these private matters.    

    

"That year, Assistant Minister Liu's mother did not have milk, and it just so happened that this old man had just given birth not long ago. At that time, before the old master's house was developed, the old madam became Assistant Minister Liu's wet nurse, and the two families had a relationship due to this."    

    

"Do you know? The old master was born so quickly, and he also had Assistant Minister Liu's support behind him. Otherwise, if our county falls from top to bottom, not only will no one dare to make things difficult for the old master... You're so polite?" That person whispered to the two people beside him.    

    

"Really? No wonder so many people came this time. Even County Magistrate had sent them a congratulatory gift. " Huang Rui said.    

    

" That's true. Who in our county would dare to not give face to the old master? " The man said proudly, "That Assistant Minister Liu is very respectful to the madame. You might not know about it not long after you arrived. That Assistant Minister Liu comes to visit the madame every New Year, and... He also knew that the madame liked to pay respects to Buddha, so he gave the Jade Buddha to her. Look at this Jade Buddha, it's crystal clear and green. One look and you can tell that it's not an ordinary item. "    

    

The man held the Jade Buddha and said with an envious expression. If he could have such a Jade Buddha, then he wouldn't have to worry about it for the rest of his life. The other two men were also looking at it with envy.    

    

Guard Qiu's eyes lit up as well. Although he hadn't seen many treasures, he had never seen anything like this before. However, this Jade Buddha had made him fall in love with it at first glance. At the same time, he also thought of his goal this time. This Jade Buddha was a pretty good choice.    

    

"Alright, let's not look at it anymore. Let's hurry up and do something. There were still many guests ahead of them. There would also be gifts sent over later. If we can't register in time, we will be scolded. " The man handed the Jade Buddha to the person who was tidying up the gifts and said.    

    

The other two people nodded their heads repeatedly. Then, the three of them continued to work. However, they didn't know that their words had been heard by Guard Qiu, who was standing outside. It seemed like he had already thought of something.    

    

The guests outside were still coming, and boxes of gifts were being sent to the backyard. Guard Qiu didn't stop. Looking at so many gifts, envy flashed in his eyes. If he had so many things, he wouldn't have gone to borrow money from others. He wouldn't have been chased by someone chasing after him.    

    

It wasn't until the birthday banquet began that no customers came. However, even so, the front yard was already crowded with people. The troupe that Ministry Councillor Zhang specially invited also started to sing on the stage. Cheers came from the crowd.    

    

If it were any other time, Guard Qiu would have already moved a stool to a place to listen to the show and eat melon seeds. However, he had other things to do today, so he did not have the mood to do that.    

    

"It's finally settled."    

    

Another voice came from the backyard. It was the few people who had been in charge of registering the gifts.    

    

"Isn't that so? There are so many people and gifts coming to the madame's birthday this time. I estimate that the room specially used to store gifts has already been filled to the brim." Another person said.    

    

"That's because our old master has a lot of face. Look at the entire county. Which family would have so many guests for a birthday banquet? And they are all people with status. "    

    

"That's true. It's just that it's hard for us to register."    

    

"Alright, the singing has already begun. Let's hurry over. It would be a pity if we miss it. Furthermore, if the old master is happy later, if there are any rewards, we won't have a share if we don't go."    

    

"Yes, yes, hurry up. We haven't listened to the show for a long time. We've benefited from the old madam this time."    

    

Thus, the three of them left with quick steps while laughing. As for the gifts, they were all placed in the room. This was the backyard. There were guards patrolling the area, so they were not worried at all. What would happen to the gifts?    

    

Guard Qiu hid in a corner outside the courtyard and watched them leave. His eyes sparkled. The opportunity had come. At this time, no one would come here. The servants were either greeting the guests in the front yard or listening to the show. Only the guards would come here to patrol, and he happened to be the head of the guards. There was naturally a way to resolve this matter.    

    

Therefore, Guard Qiu also left. However, he did not go to listen to the show. Instead, he went to find the patrolling guards to arrange the route for them to patrol so that he could have enough time to do things.    

    

Of course, it was impossible for Guard Qiu to not let them patrol in the backyard. If that was the case, it would be a little suspicious, although he had already planned for the worst-case scenario. Once he was exposed, he would escape. However, he could avoid being exposed. He still didn't want to be exposed. After all, here... The treatment was not bad. Ministry Councillor Zhang also appreciated him. His subordinates also followed his orders. If he went somewhere else, he might not receive such treatment.    

    

Therefore, Guard Qiu only changed their patrol route. Although they would also go to the backyard, the interval between the two times was a little long. This way, he would have more time.    

    

After making arrangements for patrolling, Guard Qiu carefully went to the backyard. He looked around guiltily and made sure that no one saw him. He quickly entered the courtyard and found the room where the gifts were hidden. He pushed the door open and entered, then quickly closed the door.    

    

Guard Qiu was shocked by the scene in front of him. Although when he was outside the courtyard, he knew that there were a lot of gifts this time. However... Once the gifts were registered, they were sent into the room. There weren't many people gathered in the courtyard, so even though he knew there were many gifts, however, he didn't have any direct impression.    

    

But now, he saw a hill-like gift with his own eyes. It was a viridescent flower porcelain bottle, a literary house's four treasures, calligraphy, painting, and gold and silver jewelry. These gifts filled up the entire room. There were only some gaps in the middle of the room.    

    

Guard Qiu's eyes were slightly red as he looked at these gifts, and his breathing became rapid. He quickly walked to the nearest gift rack and picked up a viridescent flower porcelain bottle. He caressed it lovingly as if he was touching some rare treasure. Then, he unwillingly put down the vase and picked up a golden hairpin next to it. He placed it in front of his eyes and looked at it. Then, with his other hand, he picked up a painting. He wanted to open it.    

    

In short, there were many gifts. Guard Qiu wanted to take a look at everything he saw. Then, he took them for himself. At this moment, his eyes were dazzled by the gifts in front of him. He had lost his mind, and his mind was filled with thoughts of taking these things away.
