Ness was excited, touching things and whispering to Lear to explain some small knowledge about porcelain. She saw a celadon dragon bottle in the higher place, and took it off on tiptoe to taste, and when she finished tasting and put it back, an accident happened.

The staff at this high-end porcelain shop have a wealth of experience and can tell the identity of a customer by the way they wear. And the worst people who buy and sell things here are also the middle class, and even the aristocracy appears, and after a long time, these clerks don't like those who just look at it but can't afford it.

The porcelain shop currently has a foreman and three ordinary clerks, and the other three are introducing porcelain to customers, except Tom who keeps an eye on the two children in the shop. As a qualified clerk in a luxury store, he saw at a glance that the two children were just ordinary children, and although there was a maid with them, they did not look like a rich family in terms of dress or behavior, and they talked in a sneaky and whispered manner, not like buyers at all.

At first, Tom was too lazy to pay attention to the two children, but when Ness took the celadon dragon bottle, he couldn't help it, it was a high-end product worth one hundred and thirty gold carats, if it was really broken, if the other party had no money to compensate, he would be deducted from his salary.

So he walked up behind the two children and shouted, "The porcelain here is not your children's toys, don't ...... if you don't have money."

Nessy had little contact with people, and for the first time in her life, she heard someone shouting loudly behind her, and she was startled, and the celadon dragon bottle in her hand fell to the ground with a bang and shattered.

Both Lear and the female swordsman could easily stop the porcelain vase, but the female swordsman was wary of the approaching clerk, and Lear didn't bother with the vase because he cared about Niss.

"How's it going, haven't you been scratched?" asked Lear.

Ness realized that she had broken the bottle and shook her head with a red face. Lear took her hand and examined it before convincing.

The two swordsmen who were on guard outside the shop immediately rushed in when they heard Ness's scream, but Ness's personal female swordsman shook her head silently, indicating that nothing was serious.

Everyone in the store was fascinated by the sound of the vase shattering, and no one noticed the two swordsmen who rushed in.

"You, you......" Tom, the clerk, pointed at Niss speechless, his worst fears had happened.

At this time, the foreman of the clerk came over and saw that the two children were dressed ordinarily, and he didn't ask the reason, so he immediately said: "The market price of the celadon dragon bottle is three hundred gold coins, and I will compensate immediately." With that, he glanced at Tom dissatisfied.

Tom was terrified, the foreman was the nephew of the boss Hans Sr., and he defended in a low voice: "Miles, it doesn't matter what I do, they accidentally broke it themselves." ”

Ness tugged at Lear's sleeve and whispered with teary eyes, "They lie, the celadon dragon vase is worth up to 150 gold carats." Deception ......"

Miles, the foreman, was annoyed and angry when the lie was exposed, and scolded: "Uneducated poor ghosts, annoying children, who have broken the expensive porcelain in our shop, dare to repay the bills!

Niss has never been scolded since she was a child, so she was so frightened that she closed her mouth, and tears of grievance rolled in her eyes.

If in other stores, Lear is too lazy to talk nonsense, and throws down the gold carat to compensate for the matter. But this is the Lear family's shop, and he treats it as his own, and he never expected to encounter such a thing. Especially Niss was scared like this, which made him very unhappy.

Just as Ness's maid was about to teach Miles a lesson, Lear gently grabbed Ness's waist, glared at Miles and said, "If your parents didn't teach you what politeness is, I wouldn't mind taking in a godson." Didn't your boss tell you that customers are aristocrats? With such an attitude, how can you be a clerk, you are simply tarnishing the Oriental Star!"

Seeing that a skinny civilian child dared to provoke him, Miles stepped forward and threatened: "Hand over the three hundred gold carat compensation, and then get out, I can spare you." Otherwise, I'll let you damn poor devils taste aristocratic prison food. ”

Lear's brow furrowed. If it weren't for the fear of being revealed, he would have slapped him a long time ago, but now he can't do it casually.

Miles continued to scold: "Little bastard, don't let your hat block your face! Stop him, don't let him run." The other three clerks immediately blocked the door.

Lear gently lifted his hat, revealing a childish face, his cold gaze fell on Miles' face, and asked contemptuously, "Do you know the price of insulting me?"

Miles sneered disdainfully, turned to one of the customers and said, "Dear Mr. Moore, it seems that you are going to trouble you to take this kid to jail and whip him a few lashes, so that he knows the cost of insulting me." ”

The meaty-faced Moore was not as impulsive as Miles, but said with a smile: "If they can't pay the fine, our garrison doesn't mind catching one or two petty criminals who disturb the order of Port Lear!" It's okay to help Hans Sr.'s nephew, but you also have to leave a way back for yourself.

Miles didn't understand the meaning of Moore's words, and immediately said to Lear arrogantly: "Do you hear? This kind of poor ghost should be arrested, and he will be honest with a few dozen lashes!"

Just as Lear was about to make a move, an old man walked down the stairs and asked as he went, "Miles, who do you want to smoke?"

Miles immediately put on a smiling face and ran over, and said obediently: "Uncle, the two children broke the porcelain in the store, and they didn't want to lose money. ”

"Oh, if it's accidentally broken, it's half the price, just a child...... Huh?" said old Hans, as he walked, looking at the two children, his eyes falling on Lear's face, and he was stunned.

When Lear saw old Hans, the last time Lear and him met came to mind, so he smiled and said, "Why are the plates in our house all round, why are there no square and diamond-shaped?"

Old Hans's body trembled, and he held back the joy in his heart, and said, "The porcelain comes from the East, and as far as I know, it is easier to make round plates with their craftsmanship. ”

Lear added: "Now the plates are round, and if they were square, diamond, or other shapes, they would sell for a good price." ”

Old Hans nodded and said, "Check ...... The guest has a point, if you need a large quantity of porcelain, we can go upstairs and talk. ”

Miles hurriedly said, "Uncle, don't be deceived by him, he is a poor boy, and he has a little ...... out of nowhere."

With a "snap", old Hans slapped Miles in the face, then raised his leg and kicked the stunned nephew down, and finally gritted his teeth, picked up the porcelain bottle next to him and smashed it on his head.

With a "bang", the porcelain vase collided with Miles's head and exploded into pieces, and old Hans did not look at his nephew, who was covered with blood, and said calmly: "Go home and pack your things, there is a boat to the East tomorrow, you go with the boat to experience." ”

Miles clutched his bleeding head, trembling with fear, he had never seen his uncle so angry.

Whether it was Moore's customers or the other clerks, they were all at a loss. They all knew that Old Hans had a high status in Port Lear, had five shops on hand, was a member of the Merchant Guild of Port Lear, and even had access to the Earl of Lear.

Others didn't know, but Moore, as the deputy security squadron leader in this area, knew the true identity of old Hans, and couldn't help but look at Lear and Ness in surprise, and finally saw the three adults behind the two people, and their faces changed slightly.

He was a high-ranking warrior and worked in the garrison, and his eyesight was better than that of these clerks, and he could see at a glance that those three adults were definitely swordsman-level powerhouses.

He rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Brother Hans, your hand is so strong, I can't even catch up." As I saw just now, these two children were scared by Tom to break the porcelain, and the two children are not responsible. Miles, this kid is not sensible, and he should be taught a lesson. Or these two children are well raised, if I had done it earlier. ”

Moore came to this shop to buy porcelain because he knew that the real owner of the shop was about to become Earl of Lear, and as for the details, he did not know. He even vaguely guessed that the kid was the next Earl of Lear, and even if he wasn't, his identity was unusual - his mind wasn't just used to collect black money.

Old Hans's gaze quickly swept over the faces of all the customers, and finally said, "This kind of thing happened in the store, and everyone laughed." So, you pick two pieces of porcelain each, and I'll only charge half the price. Thank you, Captain Moore, for testifying, that I have a new batch of goods here to give you a connoisseurship. Tom, go upstairs and bring out the newly arrived piece of porcelain and give it to Captain Moore. ”

So, the other customers bought half-price porcelain and left happily, while Captain Moore took the expensive porcelain and said that he would definitely take good care of it—he was hinting that he would keep his mouth shut.

Miles was still lying on the ground, not daring to get up, and looked at his uncle with his head covered. Although he didn't know what was going on, he knew that his uncle was very angry and didn't dare to stand up at all, full of grievances.

Seeing off the guests, old Hans asked the clerk to close the door on the pretext of tidying up the shop, then bent down slightly, made a gesture of invitation to the stairs, and said, "Distinguished guest, let's go upstairs to discuss business." ”

Miles looked at Lear in horror, he had been the foreman here for five or six years, except that old Hans bent down when Count Lear came, and never bent down even when he met a nobleman. He now finally understands that Lear must be a great character, and to be treated so ceremoniously by old Hans is definitely a big man who can pinch himself to death with his fingers.

Lear stopped as he passed Miles, bent down, patted Miles on the face, and said, "You should thank your uncle, if that curse word is spat out, you won't see the sun tomorrow." ”

Ness, wiping away her tears, looked at Miles angrily, tilted her head in thought, and suddenly stepped forward and kicked Miles hard in the knee, then giggled and ran up the stairs - it was her first time kicking.

She ran to the second floor, saw a dazzling array of fine porcelain, and exclaimed in surprise: "Grandpa Hans, your porcelain here is so beautiful." ”

Old Hans smiled and walked after Lear to the second floor, and said with a smile, "If Ness likes it, take it." ”

Although Miles had never seen Ness, he had heard the name and knew better who Baron Humphrey was, and his heart set off a shocking wave. He threw himself at the feet of old Hans, grabbed his uncle's ankle, and said remorsefully: "Uncle, I was wrong, you can beat me and scold me, don't punish me for sailing, I am the only man in my generation." ”

Old Hans turned, sighed softly, kicked him away, and said, "If you don't sail, don't see me." Also, keep your mouth shut! There are some people you can't afford to mess with in your life. With that, he walked up the stairs.
