The room was noisy, everyone was greeting each other according to the previous Manchu rules.
"Oh, Thirteenth Master, your expression is really incredible."
Thirteenth Master proudly held the gold watch in his hand and showed off: "This is a serious French product."
"Oh, my Thirteenth Master is the best. He can even carry French goods."
"How about I borrow it for two days?"
"I don't dare, I don't dare. How can I compensate you if it gets damaged?"
There was a burst of laughter in the room.
"Prince Chun is here!"
With this sound, the room that was noisy just now suddenly became quiet.
Prince Chun Aixinjueluo Zaifeng walked in.
The face of this "Prince Chun" was solemn. Ever since his son, "Emperor Xuantong" of the "Qing Dynasty", escaped with the help of the Japanese, Zai Fengke had never had a good day.
Not only did he have to endure endless interrogations by the police and agents, but he was also kicked out of his Prince Chun residence. This was a great shame and humiliation for Zaifeng, who was used to enjoying good things!
But what can be done about this? It is no longer the Qing Dynasty...
Thinking of this, Zaifeng couldn't help but let out a long sigh...
"Your Majesty, please take your seat."
"There is no such thing as a prince now. The Qing Dynasty is gone." Zaifeng sighed again.
"You can't say that."
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Qing Dynasty is gone, but the Emperor is still here, so we still have hope of restoring the country. As for you, you will always be our Prince..."
The room was buzzing with chatter, as if Zaifeng was their backbone.
Zaifeng smiled bitterly, shook his head, and sat on it.
"Prince Chun, you have to make the decision for us!"
"Prince Chun, I can't live without it!"
Zaifeng frowned: "Don't be anxious, come one by one!"
"Yes, Thirteenth Master, you should speak first."
Master Thirteen walked up and cleared his throat: "Prince Chun, those Han people are now riding on our heads. Did you know that Minzhi was arrested two days ago..."
"I've heard about this too." Zaifeng nodded: "Minzhi has a bad temper and likes to cause trouble. I have advised him a long time ago. What time is it now? It's the Republic of China, and we no longer love him.
The world of the Xinjueluo family needs to be peaceful and honest. If something happens, no one can protect him. But it’s good now. The more you fear something, the more likely it is to come. Doesn’t this mean something will happen? "
The Manchus looked at each other. They had long heard that Prince Chun had become less and less courageous since the emperor left. Now it seemed that this was indeed the case.
The Thirteenth Master gritted his teeth: "That being said, the government of the Republic of China went too far, didn't they? All the preferential treatment conditions promised at the beginning were cancelled, and they forced the emperor to leave alive. Now they have Min Min
I caught you, aren’t you just slapping us all in front of so many people in Beijing?”
Zai Feng picked up the tea bowl and took a sip: "Then according to Master Thirteen, how should this matter be handled?"
Master Thirteen thought for a moment: "What we want to do is to go to the Beijing Municipal Government to petition, asking them to release Minzhi immediately, apologize, and then..."
"Then it's best to pay a large sum of money, right?" Zaifeng said it for him.
Thirteenth Master sneered a few times: "That would be the best thing..."
"Thirteenth then..." Zaifeng sighed and looked around at everyone in the room: "When is it now? The Republic of China! Who are we? Lost dogs!"
The room suddenly became silent.
Zaifeng sighed heavily again: "We are all people who have subjugated our country. We should stay peacefully and peacefully. Don't cause trouble when nothing happens. We should try our best to give in when things happen. You can't bear to be angry to death. You have to fight for it.
Among other things, Minzhi is a role model!"
He accentuated his tone: "Some people also say that they want to make a big fuss in Beijing and invite the emperor back. This is simply ridiculous! Back then, Zhang Xun had soldiers and guns, but he couldn't succeed.
Now we are the only ones with bare hands, how can we give them to kill?"
Thirteenth Master opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Zaifeng knocked him back:
"Thirteen, I know you are having a hard time. You no longer have the royal rations, you have no skills, and all the belongings passed down from your ancestors have been ruined by you. You finally dug out an jade ring from home and turned it into money.
I thought you would be able to settle down for a few days, but who would have thought that within three days you would have thrown all the money into the bellies of those girls in Bada Hutong..."
Thirteenth Master's face turned red.
Anbeile said with an apologetic smile: "Prince Chun, the Thirteenth Master is better than us, and at least he still has a gold watch from France."
Zaifeng looked at Master Thirteen's watch chain, and Master Thirteen couldn't help but cover it. Zaifeng smiled: "That's your watch, I knew it was a fake just by looking at it, bought from a street stall to show off, right?"
"
"Here......"
"You can't hide this from me." Zai Feng stopped smiling: "What kind of things have I not seen in the palace? Can't tell the difference between real and fake? The country has been destroyed, and there is no food to eat. Why do you pretend to be this?
What do we do with the facade? We Manchus are ruined by this face. There are many good things passed down from our ancestors, and we have a lot of money. I shouted in front of people for a long time, turned around, saw that no one was there, took out the leftovers from yesterday and gnawed them.
I put the bird's nest head on my belly, and when I meet people again, I have to say that I ate the bird's nest."
These words were like a slap in the face to everyone in the room. Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent...
Zaifeng smiled bitterly: "People are almost starving to death, and they are still thinking about whether to petition or not. Do you think the food in the prison is really better than outside?"
"Prince Chun, what are you talking about?" Master Thirteen couldn't help but argue a few times.
"I am doing this for your own good." Zaifeng emphasized his tone: "I have heard some rumors in the past few days. It seems that President Wang Hengyue came to Beijing, and it was he who ordered Minzhi to be arrested. I advise everyone to be honest.
Some, I always mutter in my heart, maybe then, Wang Hengyue will be ready to take action against us, everyone, please don’t let him get caught and find an excuse to deal with us, remember this!"
He stood up as he spoke: "I am getting older, and I don't care about some things anymore. I came here today because we are all Manchus, but if this kind of thing happens again in the future, please don't do it."
Come to me and say goodbye!"
"Prince Chun, let me see you off."
The Thirteenth Master carefully walked Zaifeng to the door. Zaifeng stopped, hesitated, took out a few bills from his arms, and handed them to the Thirteenth Master.
"Prince Chun, I have money, I have money..."
"Okay, Thirteen, why are you pretending in front of me?" Zaifeng forced the money into Thirteen's hand: "Our two families have a very good relationship, and you are my nephew. I can't just watch.
I'm going to watch you starve to death, right? Use this money to do some small business, buy some food for your wife and children, and live a peaceful life. Don't throw this money away to those girls again."
"Hey, hey, I know."
Watching Zaifeng leave, Thirteenth Master spit on the ground fiercely: "What is it? Is it great to have two dollars? There is no one next to Thirteenth Master, but he is ambitious. I don't want your money!"
I grabbed the money and was about to tear it up, but after thinking about it I still couldn't bear to part with it, so I carefully stuffed it into my arms...
As soon as I returned to the house, I saw everyone in the house talking about it. When I saw Master Thirteen coming back, I hurriedly asked: "Master Thirteen, what do you think we should do now? Prince Chun doesn't care, you have to get it for me."
An idea!"
The Thirteenth Master was thinking about other things in his mind. How could he have the time to care about them now: "Let's do this. Let's all leave first. What should I do? Let me think about it carefully. I'll see you all here tomorrow at this time."
...
"Thirteenth Master, you eat this."
Xiao Meihong put the stuttering thing into Master Thirteen's mouth: "Master Thirteen, where did you get the money again?"
The Thirteenth Master patted his chest: "Have you never heard that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse? Although I am no longer the master, I can just go through the house and find one or two things. Then I will buy it for you.
It’s okay to come down.”
"Thirteenth Master, I know you are rich. When will you redeem your promise to help me?"
"Ah, here, slowly, slowly..."
"You know how to say..."
Xiao Meihong was talking there when the door was pushed open and a young man walked in. Just as Xiao Meihong was about to speak, the young man had already taken out a note: "Go out and wait. You are not allowed to come in without my order."
"
"Hey, I got it, Master." Xiao Meihong took the ticket and said happily.
"Who are you fucking? Don't you know who I am?" When he saw his sweetheart being driven away, Master Thirteen was furious.
The young man closed the door calmly and sat down opposite Master Thirteen: "I know your name is Yunde, the famous Master Thirteen, and my name is Ale."
"Knowing that I am the Thirteenth Master, you still..."
A Le interrupted "Thirteenth Master" Yunde: "Yunde, I also know that the money you came to the hall today was given to you by Zaifeng. Is that correct?"
Yunde's face suddenly turned red.
A Le smiled slightly: "Actually, your family is already too poor to open the pot. Your wife and children are about to starve to death, but you have got so many bills and you want to throw them all away. Yunde, don't even think about it.
A bitch is ruthless, an actor is ruthless, if this money runs out, who will look at you seriously?"
"It's my pleasure, but you can't control it." Yunde said bravely.
"I won't care if you starve to death." Ah Le didn't get angry and smiled: "But now I want you to help me with something. If the thing is done, I will give you a thousand yuan."
