The head of the family showed his authority, and it was indeed effective. Even the usually tigress-like daughter-in-law was frightened by today's scene.
Although she usually scolds men for being useless and unable to make a lot of money or become a high official, but when faced with such a shocking change like confiscation of a house, a woman is still a woman after all. Only then did she realize that the man is the backbone of the family!
The wife's two sons, the three domestic slaves, the two maids, the wife in the kitchen... More than ten people in the family were all mobilized by Sun Ba.
Those who clean the house clean the house, and those who light the fire cook the food. Sun Ba was robbed of his gold, but he became unusually energetic!
"Get busy! Get happy! Everyone is crying and sad. Are you going to die?"
"Haha... remember, we are banner people. We have been here for two hundred years. What have we not seen before? What storms have we not experienced?"
"The situation is even more chaotic than today, and we all came here, and we continue to eat the hard-core crops!"
"What is money? Money is like a bastard. If you don't have it, let's make it again!"
"The British and French allied forces came to Beijing. Isn't it powerful? Our family fled outside the city to seek refuge. How about coming back? We can still live our good life!"
"Back then, all the long-haired pioneers went to Tianjin, and the capital was shocked. What are you afraid of? Our ancestors have not been lost!"
"The evil spirit Xiao Letian came to the capital, but he didn't dare to overthrow the jobs of our bannermen. Is the country going to be subjugated today?"
"Haha... Even if the country is destroyed, you have to remember the identity of our banner people! Even if the tiger dies, even if the Qing Dynasty is destroyed, we will still be the banner people who stand high above us!"
"Eat! Drink! We have to eat and drink up all the blessings our ancestors saved for us two hundred years ago!"
The Sun family still has some wealth. After all, they have been servants of Prince Zheng for more than 200 years. Their ancestors have not been high-ranking officials but there are a few outstanding people. The family has a lot of calculations and calculations.
The Sun family was really in despair today. Sun Ba said the toughest words, but his tears kept flowing out, making him keep squinting and rubbing his eyes as an excuse.
Usually, these bannermen sit in the teahouse one by one and talk about world affairs, as if each of them has great ability and remains unchanged despite the collapse of Mount Tai.
That's because they haven't really seen what despair is. In the final analysis, the knife didn't cut themselves!
Once the knife cuts on him and he bleeds, fear rises, and despair automatically replaces the arrogant self-confidence of the past. At this time, Sun Ba really feels that the sky of the Qing Dynasty is about to collapse!
Could it be that the two hundred years of the Qing Dynasty are really coming to an end? Will the hard-core crops left by our ancestors never be eaten again? The day you subconsciously fear most is coming?
If the imperial court disappears, these Han people will definitely come back to kill us. Even if they don’t kill us, they will steal all our money and food and take away our women.
Just like how we treated them two hundred years ago, they will definitely treat me the same way!
"No... you can't leave anything for these damn Han people! I'll eat all I can eat, drink all I can drink, and don't keep anything I can waste!"
After despair, people's rebellious mood increased, and the Sunba family went uncharacteristically extravagant and wasteful!
There is a shortage of fresh vegetables, rivers and seafood in the capital city under curfew, but these Eight Banners families have a lot of good wine in their cellars, as well as a lot of dry goods!
Jingou sea rice, Jiang Youzhu, sea cucumbers from Shandong, dried abalone from the South China Sea... Deer tendons and bear paws from outside the customs, Mongolian flavored dried meat, these are usually good things prepared for the festival, and they are all on the table today.
Bottles of Fenjiu, Huadiao, Zhuyeqing, and even Western wines were also opened. The family sat at a table in the main hall, and the servants gathered around a table in the yard. They opened their cheeks and started eating!
Not only that, Sun Ba also lit two big smoking guns on the soft wall next to him, and said to his son, "Smoke! Amma teaches you... If this person has never tasted such a taste in his life, he has lived in vain. Once upon a time!"
"Death sooner, later, sooner. Rather than letting others take away this gold and silver, it is better for us to spend it ourselves!"
"Eat something if you can, drink as much as you can, come and try it if you like to smoke... Hehe, Amma still has money in her hand. When you are full and drunk, I will take you to Master Sai's guild hall to open your eyes! "
"Hehehehe..." Sun Ba smiled like a ghost crying, "Humans... you have to eat, drink, go whoring, gamble, deceive and abduct to live. You have to enjoy it in this world!"
"Who doesn't enjoy it? Isn't it possible that the Han people got the advantage in the end?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Ancestors, open your eyes. These Han people put on a layer of dog skin and rode on the heads of our banner men to show off their power and shit!"
"What kind of person is he with the surname Huang? He is a rotten Han bastard. Back then, he was just a patrolling dog in the Jiumen Admiral's Office!"
"Now you are actually bullying our banner people? My gold... my hardcore crops!"
That night, it was not just Sunba's family who broke the can, many Banner families whose gold had been robbed had the idea of breaking the can.
This group of people who get something for nothing, these privileged people who have easy access to wealth, are actually more selfish than the hard-working people at the bottom!
They will not let their wealth go in vain. They would rather spend their money smoking cigarettes, finding women, drinking wine, eating big fish and meat, and even eating until they vomit it out, rather than take the initiative to pay.
In their eyes, money is like a bastard, but this bastard has to be wasted in his own hands, and he will never benefit the world by taking a dime!
For a tael of gold I smoked a lot of tobacco, and I enjoyed it!
One tael of gold should I donate to the court to fight the war? Then I'm a big fool!
"Eat, drink, whore, gamble... follow Ama and have fun. We can't give them all the money and food left by our ancestors!"
Just when the Sunba family was munching on air-dried beef, the front door was suddenly banged. Before they could open the door, one after another Beijing policemen jumped in from outside the courtyard wall!
The policeman who jumped in opened the door, and it was none other than Mr. Huang who walked in during the day. He smiled evilly and said, "Oh... you are so rich! Even the emperor can't compare to this banquet!"
"In order to build the Great Qingshui Division, Long Live the Lord, one meal consisted of four dishes, one soup, and only one meat dish... Do you eat better than the Emperor?"
Sun Ba was so frightened that his crotch became wet and his legs became weak when he tried to stand up. "Surname...named Huang...why are you still here? You took away all the gold, and you still won't let me go?"
"Is it illegal for me to drink behind closed doors at home?"
"Hahaha... Of course it's not illegal, and I'm not here to raid your liquor store! I received a tip and heard that your family still has gold hidden secretly!"
"Brothers! Copy it out..."
"Hey... don't worry, sir..."
A group of temporary workers under Mr. Huang rushed to the southwest corner of the courtyard like flies and headed straight for the toilet!
