Chapter 553: Jure
Chapter 553 Birthday Gift
After a week of **** cleansing, the remnants of the old leader Greyburton and his old division were completely eliminated and disintegrated. Antonio relied on his ruthless skills and absolute strength to firmly control R.S.
Many of the men from the old residence have moved to the castle, including Antonio himself.
He urged Tang Qi several times, but Tang Qi refused because of inconvenience.
Antonio's old residence is close to the banks of the Bravo River, only half an hour away from El Paso on the opposite side, but the location of the ancient castle is outside the city of Juarez, opposite to the direction of El Paso, from the ancient castle. To get to El Paso, it will take at least four hours round trip.
Antonio was busy consolidating his power. He urged her several times to see that she was indifferent, so he didn't care anymore. He just arranged for a few subordinates to keep watch over her.
The golden autumn of September is one week away from Qin Dahai's 80th birthday.
Tang Qi did not throw away the shelf originally used to store the collection of famous jewelry and paintings in the underground vault, but moved into the small warehouse she built next to the living room to store her "stones".
She has nothing else in her hand except this pile of stones.
After all, it was the first time to give a gift, and it was the 80th birthday of the old man, so it shouldn't be too shabby.
Tang Qi folded her arms around her chest, tapped lightly with her right fingers on her elbow, and swept over the stones neatly placed on the shelf.
She remembered that there seemed to be a piece of rough jadeite of glass species in it. It was a long time ago, and she had no idea about jade at the time, so she didn't observe the rough stone carefully, and now she can't remember which piece it was.
She wakes up Hachi and asks him to find the rough glass jadeite.
Xiao Ba's voice is cute, "Sister Qi, which piece are you looking for?"
The rhythm of 's finger tapping stopped, and she raised her eyebrows slightly, "How much do I have?"
"There are two pieces of rough jadeite of the glass species, one purple and one dark green."
Tang Qi was silent for two seconds, and then said: "Apart from these, choose a few more suitable gifts, not too rare and precious."
Xiaoba thought it was very difficult, "It's not rare that you didn't pick it up back then."
Tang Qi: "…"
Too.
After a long journey, if it wasn't for her own value, why would she bring back a broken stone with painstaking effort.
"Then you can choose whatever is suitable for the elders." Tang Qimo counted the elders she needs to give gifts: "Choose seven first, the size is suitable."
Xiao Ba quickly selected seven rough stones as small as a washbasin and as big as a basket, and Tang Qi fell into a bewildered silence.
After a while, she asked, "Xiao Ba, do you have any misunderstandings about big and small?"
Xiao Ba is righteous, "Sister Qi, only this level can show your identity and strength, we don't lack."
also... makes sense.
Tang Qi marked the seven rough stones one by one.
Dark green glass jadeite as a birthday gift for Qin Dahai.
Two top-quality suet white jade rough stones, the big one was given to Qin Jingxiu, and the small one was given to Mo Shaochen's sister.
Two pieces of imperial green jadeite rough, the glass seed piece for Lu Yilan, and the ice seed piece for Madam Qin.
There were still two pieces left. Thinking that Qin Jingli seemed to be promoted, she marked the purple jadeite with Qin Jingli's name, which meant that the purple energy was coming from the east, which was considered a favor.
In the end, the remaining piece of black jade was given to Mo Xianlin.
These rough stones are too slow to travel through the regular route and are easily seized by customs. She went to the dark web to find professional errands.
After five days.
The Qin family had just experienced ups and downs before, and the imperial capital has not been calm recently. In addition, the eldest son Qin Jingli is about to be promoted, and the two granddaughters are not at home. Qin Dahai's 80th birthday is not going to be a grand event, but simply invited relatives and some A close friend of the world.
The guest list didn’t even fill ten tables, which was very low-key and even a little desolate compared to the past thousand-person banquets.
You must know that on the 70th birthday of Qin Dahai ten years ago, thousands of guests came to celebrate the birthday. The originally prepared 300 tables of birthday banquets were added to 400 tables, and the guests were barely accommodated.
…
Qin Jingli and Qin Jingxiu have both asked for leave in advance and are now setting up the venue for tomorrow's birthday banquet with the servants.
Qin Dahai was in the study, watching the old housekeeper count the number of birthday gifts.
Although it is not a big birthday, birthday gifts have been sent from all over the country a few days ago.
Most of them are former subordinates of Qin Dahai, some are still stationed in the country’s border defense, some have become high-ranking politicians, and there are business leaders who abandoned the military to do business. In addition to these, there are also civilians who live in peace after being discharged from the army, individual traders, etc. .
There are thousands of birthday gifts, all kinds of light, heavy, noble and low.
Uncle Fu led the servant to count the records. He noticed that Qin Dahai, who was sitting on the side, was a little gloomy. He sighed in his heart.
Qin Dahai took a few glances and found it boring, then went to the door with his hands behind his back, and stood under the porch to watch his two sons hang lanterns.
Mrs. Qin, who was standing by and instructing the servants to set the stage and scenery, saw him and came up quickly, "Dad, it's been more than half a month since autumn has arrived. It's cold at night, so pay attention to your health."
Qin Dahai waved his hand indifferently, "I'm fine, I'll take a look, you are busy with yours."
Knowing that the old man was stubborn, Mrs. Qin did not persuade him any further, and turned around and instructed the servant to get the old man a coat.
Around 10 o'clock, the whole Qin mansion was almost decorated. The yard was decorated with lights and colorful, and it was full of joy and atmosphere.
The two sons of the Qin family saw that their old man was unhappy, and were about to say a few words of relief when a pickup truck suddenly appeared outside the courtyard.
There has been an endless stream of gifts in the past few days, and everyone has not paid much attention to it.
Mrs. Qin led the servant out to receive it. After a while, Mrs. Qin came back alone, looking at the three of them with a strange expression.
Qin Jingli asked her in a loud voice, "What's wrong? What is it?"
Mrs. Qin hesitated, "Go out and see for yourself. I may have read it wrong. I'll call two servants to move over."
After listening to his wife's words, Qin Jingli strode towards the courtyard gate, and Qin Jingxiu followed.
Qin Dahai also wanted to follow him, but was stopped by Uncle Fu who came out with his coat: "My lord, it's cold now and the mountain wind is strong. You can't carry it with just a single coat."
"Okay, give me the clothes, it's rambling."
When Qin Dahai put on his coat, Uncle Fu smiled and followed him to the gate of the courtyard.
Halfway through, they met Qin Jingli and Qin Jingxiu who were returning, each holding a heavy stone in their hands.
Although there are street lamps in the yard, in order to make the birthday banquet look festive, the lamps are covered with red silk lanterns, and the light is a little dark.
Qin Dahai took a few glances and didn't understand it. He thought it was because his eyesight was bad, so he asked the two of them, "What is this?"
Qin Jingli gave his younger brother a cool look, as if to say: You explain yourself.
Qin Jingxiu coughed awkwardly, and walked to the old man with the big stone, so that the old man could see clearly.
