Chapter 142: Uncle Jack's Greed
Uncle Jack quickly ran back to the small supermarket, and the aunt looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"What about little Annie, didn't you say you were going to find little Rod? How did you come back so soon. ”
"I've met him, Anne is following him, is the meal ready?"
"Hurry up and talk to me, how is little Rod," the aunt put down her work in surprise.
"What little Rod, if you want to call Lord Rod, he is a nobleman now, but he has a conscience and has not become like other nobles, but I can't say, while he hasn't changed now, I have to make a good fortune now." Uncle Jack suddenly showed a cunning expression that belonged only to the merchants of the market.
"I don't think he's a bad boy......." The aunt was a little hesitant, but she was interrupted before she could finish speaking.
"What's good and what's bad, do you know how many people he killed yesterday, nearly two thousand people, can this be considered a good person, this is enough for many death sentences, if you don't make a fortune now, are you still waiting for him to turn his face and not recognize people."
"But ......." The aunt felt that she should have a close relationship with Rodra and let the two families get along, but she didn't dare to fight against Uncle Jack, who was strong in the family.
"No, but, hurry up and prepare a good meal, hum, what do you know about a woman, these nobles say that they will change their faces, they don't look like normal people at all, if they don't take advantage of the current fortune to hide away, are they still waiting for him to suddenly turn around and kill us? That's 2,000 people, he actually said kill it, will he send the two of us? ”
Uncle Jack slammed the door and walked out of the kitchen, simply and quickly cleaned up the supermarket, looking at the crowd gradually surging in the distance, he couldn't stop smiling on his face, this time it was a live advertisement, Lord Rhodes had entered this supermarket, these people were not allowed to buy something before leaving, if one person could buy the same, then today's turnover ...... Thinking about the good thing, Uncle Jack's saliva almost overflowed the corners of his mouth.
……
Rhodes led Anne, surrounded by many people, and more and more people heard the rumors, even if there were battle puppets to maintain order, the speed of movement was still slow, and it was not until they came to Annie's small supermarket that it was over.
Uncle Jack didn't close the door of the store, Rod thought about it, and suddenly understood Uncle Jack's thoughts, the other party was planning to treat himself as a live advertisement, and smiled slightly, it should be said that he was worthy of Little Annie's father, and his mind was really flexible.
Turning her head, little Anne was already like a grandfather with Kant, and Little Anne was not afraid to hug Kant's neck at all, like a little granddaughter playing with her grandfather.
Walking into the supermarket, Uncle Jack and his aunt stood in place, just like when they once faced the sheriff, with caution but not enough guts.
Rod persuaded several times but failed to change the attitude of the two, sighed in his heart, did not dissuade the two, did not refrain from the invitation, and walked to the dinner table with Kant, after being full of wine and food, Anne sensibly pulled Kant out of the house, Rod took the opportunity to tell his thoughts to the two of them, hoping that little Anne could go to school.
"This ...... Lord Rhodes, my little Annie doesn't have this blessing, as long as we can marry a good family in the future, we don't dare to expect anything else. ”
Xu was because of Rod's amiable appearance, Uncle Jack obviously showed a dissatisfied expression, and the aunt wanted to speak and stopped, and after looking at her husband twice, she sighed silently, sat on the stool in a little silence, and silently accepted her husband's decision.
Rod was not angry, but showed a mysterious smile: "Uncle Jack, don't be in a hurry to refuse, listen to me first." I remember that you took me in to work here during my school years, and provided me with room and board, so I can tell you the news in advance, in order to implement the king's decree, the Royal College of Higher Education will adopt a prize entrance examination this time, and the first place will be rewarded with ten gold coins. ”
Uncle Jack's expression immediately froze, and his mouth opened wide: "Ten... Piece... Gold? ”
Rod nodded affirmatively: "Yes, there are ten gold coins." ”
"Ten gold coins!?" Uncle Jack roared, his eyes widened, his nostrils gasped, his eyeballs rolled in circles, and he quickly calculated in his heart whether it was worth ten gold coins to fall to the ground.
After a long time, Uncle Jack sighed, not to mention whether he could get the first place, even if he did, if he gave Anne school, I am afraid there would be nothing left, but he always felt unwilling, he thought that he had the grace of knowing the past, as long as he operated it, the first place was not within reach.
No, it's a lot more.
"This ...... Lord Rhodes, I can't have more. Uncle Jack was suddenly angry, and secretly complained that Rhodes didn't understand personnel, but he heard that the noble lord would spend hundreds of gold coins to buy weapons and armor at every turn, and at this time he only gave ten gold coins, which was too stingy.
Uncle Jack's psychological changes, Rod saw it in his eyes, and sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that the love between them can only end here.
Uncle Jack is a good man, but in order to live, he cares more about his vital interests, in addition to sympathy, the biggest reason why he was invited to work at the beginning was that others had a small salary, and he didn't have to pay an additional personal security fee to the kingdom.
"Uncle Jack, don't worry, I will bear the tuition of little Annie, not only your kindness, I also like little Annie very much, how can I bear to watch her not go to school?"
Jack's face suddenly showed uncontrollable joy, and the little cunning of the market merchant also came to his heart.
There is no tuition, which means that the ten gold coins are all his.
"This little cub is so rich when he becomes a nobleman, it's really angry, but looking at this little cub's appearance, don't you want to accept Annie, no, you can't send Annie out so simply, otherwise when you get to the academy, Lao Tzu is not around, wouldn't you be succeeded by this little cub, and you have to make more money."
Uncle Jack coughed decisively twice, pretending to be distressed with a smile between his eyebrows, and kicked his aunt heavily at his feet: "But, Anne is our daughter after all, how can we bear to send her out ......." ”
The aunt was obviously mistaken, with a happy smile on her face that did not pretend to be: "Yes, yes, Anne is our daughter, how can we give it, we don't want those ten gold coins...... Yes! ”
Uncle Jack kicked the aunt with anger, for fear that Rod would regret it, so he simply pointed it out: "Lord Rhodes, don't listen to this nonsense, we mean to agree to Annie to go to school, and we also want the ten gold coins, of course it is best if you want to pay Annie's tuition, but we have been raising it for so many years, if we just send it out, you see...... This...... Isn't it...... Ahh
Uncle Jack, the thumb is constantly rubbing between the index finger and middle finger, the meaning is obvious, we have been raising for so many years, how can we have a little child support and hard work.
Rod secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Uncle Jack's behavior made him not have to be embarrassed, the last thing he lacked now was gold coins, if Uncle Jack really played the emotional card, he really didn't know how to respond.
"Don't worry, Uncle Jack, of course I've thought about this problem, you raised Anne so big, and suddenly let Anne leave her side to study, you must be reluctant, so I will prepare a fee for you, which is also ten gold coins, and you can use this money to go to the Royal College to meet Anne at any time."
Rod took out the gold coins without hesitation, and Uncle Jack took it with great joy, but greed flashed on his face, wanting to ask for more gold coins, and the aunt secretly wiped her tears without saying anything.
Rod sighed lightly, impatient, but the aunt who wiped his tears made him unbearable, so he had to show a charming atmosphere, and with a slight hint, Uncle Jack left his seat in surprise and went to hide the gold coin.
Rod turned his head to look at his aunt.
"Auntie, don't worry, I don't have any thoughts about Anne. I wanted to give Anne a good future, as a reward for taking care of me. Second, the king's mission needs a benchmark character, and I think Anne is just right. The city will also have a direct bus connection recently, so you can always visit Anne in town. The one next to me just now was my teacher at the academy, and he was very optimistic about Anne. ”
The aunt cried with joy, and immediately wanted to kneel down and thank you: "Lord Rod, you are really ......"
As soon as Rod waved his hand, his magic power immediately turned into a palm to support his aunt: "Auntie, how can I accept such a big gift from you, and how can my aunt call me Lord Rhodes, uncle's aunt You know, if I don't let my uncle call me like this, Uncle is afraid that he will be uneasy, but you are you, uncle is uncle, you just need to call me Little Rod." ”
"Okay, it's really good, little Rhodes is still that good boy, don't blame your uncle, he is actually scared by life, he is not bad in nature."
