The blonde guest explained:

"I'm sorry, I don't mean anything. It's just that I see that you are a bit like a friend of mine from one of my younger years, and I haven't seen him for many years, and I miss him very much. Oh, and if there is something that offends you, please forgive me. ”

"No, no, sir, you are too polite. ”

Chris looked at the road ahead of him and looked back at the guest, although he looked ordinary, the thin lips of the smile gave a friendly feeling.

The cuffs of his white shirt were embroidered with gold threads, the black waistcoat inside was also embroidered with gold threads, and the black gold-encrusted cane he was holding in his hand was also inlaid with a red crystal at the top.

is really a rich man, Chris was slandered in his heart, but he suddenly felt that the other party's gentle temperament revealed a high-ranking person's breath.

Is there money and power?

Chris looked at the guest with a sincere look in his eyes:

"I'm really sorry, I have a good relationship with my employer, they take care of me so much, so ...... I can't agree to your request. But thank you very much for having me. ”

The blonde guest looked regretful: "Okay, it's not difficult, if you change your attention one day, you can come to me." ”

As he spoke, he took out a business card from his pocket, and after Chris took it, he glanced at it in the sun, and it read:

First analyst of Fedlenburg Bank, John Brooke.

It turns out that he works in a bank, no wonder he is so generous, and the money he gives can be used for five free carriage rides.

Chris put his business card in his pocket and concentrated on catching the car, and the West End was about to arrive, and the crowds were getting denser.

Dropping the bank analyst at the location, Chris quickly drove to the public school two blocks away, and sure enough, he saw two siblings waiting in the shade of a tree at the door.

"Oops, Chris, where have you been?"

When Bonnie saw the carriage from afar, she ran to the front of the carriage in a rage and muttered, "It's a shame to stand outside." ”

It's not that Bonnie feels ashamed to stand outside the school, after all, this is a public school in the West Side, and the students go home on their own, but Bonnie's dress is still different from the students in the West Side.

After all, Bert and Bonnie, who have been Chris, are still relatively famous in this public school in the West End, and the reasons are naturally different.

Chris smiled apologetically: "Sorry, not next time." ”

Looking at Bert, who was following closely, Chris opened the guardrail of the carriage and teased Bonnie:

"Hey, who would dare to laugh at our lovely little beauty. You tell me, I'll let Bert beat him up. ”

Bonnie was about to wave her little fist and be pushed into the carriage by Bert under the carriage.

Chris knew that when the brother and sister first came to this public school, they were talked about for a long time by their classmates from a civilian background because they were still wearing the clothes of the former nobility and the behavior they had been educated since childhood. After all, there was still a big gap between the clothing of nobles and commoners.

There were even quite a few nasty boys who tried to flirt with Bonnie in a beautiful cake dress, but they were all chased away by Bert and Chris.

Although it didn't take long for Bert and Bonnie to change into ordinary civilian clothes, there was actually a reason why the previous expensive clothes were smaller. However, they were still stared at with strange eyes by some of the students.

The aristocracy will make them unattainable, but the nobles who have fallen or even gone bankrupt and become commoners are the jokes and talking points of the commoners.

It's just that later, the limelight of the three of them was stolen by Chris, a school bully, and this kind of discussion was much less.

Because Chris has been away from this public school for a long time, and his brother and sister have adapted to life here, Chris forgot about this stubble for a while.

Bonnie, who was sitting in the carriage, pouted at first, but still couldn't help it, as if she was amused by Chris's little beauty, and then quickly turned her head to look, and saw her brother who closed her eyes and Chris in front of her, and didn't notice it, so she continued to pretend to be angry.

Chris drove past a "Mrs. Carroll's Dessert Shop", stopped the carriage, and bought a box of Bonnie's favorite chocolates and a large bag of weird jelly beans with the 2 halves he had just gotten.

Weird jelly beans are not expensive, you can buy a small bag for 3pence, and old Cole used to work from time to time to come home and bring a bag to little Chris, and Chris ate one a day, and one bag can be eaten for two weeks.

Most of these jelly beans are fruit-flavored, but each bag has one or two giant jelly beans that are no different from regular jelly beans, but the taste can keep you from eating for a day.

After Cole Sr. died, Chris still used to buy a bag of weird jelly beans every week, until he lived with Bert and the others.

At first, Bert and Bonnie don't like the cheap jelly beans, but they can't bear the fact that there are no other sweets and snacks at home.

The two siblings also knew that their current economic situation was not optimistic, and they did not ask Chris, the housekeeper, to buy the candy they used to eat.

After seeing Chris eat this poorly packaged candy many times, the brother and sister couldn't help it, so they took advantage of Chris's inattention to steal his candy. After all, at first, Chris invited them to try it, but they decisively refused.

After eating it a few times, the two siblings felt that it was not so unpalatable, and they got used to this candy. Later, after eating it for a long time, I gradually liked this fruit-flavored candy.

Until one morning, Bonnie herself eats a monster candy handed by a classmate at school, and she finally learns why this candy is called weird candy.

In the laughter of her classmates, Bonnie spit out the candy in her mouth and ran to the bathroom to rinse her mouth, and when she returned home, Bonnie was listless and didn't eat much all day.

After listening to Bert's briefing, Chris knew the reason for your sullenness, took a bag of weird jelly beans that had not been opened, and poured them all out in front of the siblings.

A bag of fourteen jelly beans of different colors, different colors represent different fruit flavors.

Chris picked them up one by one, through the bright light, and finally discerned two jelly beans with black impurities in the light of the light.

It turns out that although it is normal to distinguish the bitter and unpalatable jelly beans in each bag, at that time, anyone who has eaten this kind of jelly beans for a long time will slowly discover the law, that is, in the transmission of sunlight or light, black impurities will be seen in the bitter and unpalatable jelly beans, so that the unpalatable jelly beans can be accurately distinguished.

"Then why haven't Bert and I eaten at your place for so long and not eaten so bad?"

Bonnie asked suspiciously, then quickly covered her mouth, looked at Chris in horror, and seemed to tell some terrible secret.

Chris looked at Bonnie amusedly and touched the other person's head, "That's because, every time I open it, I pick up this unpalatable jelly bean in advance." ”

"Ahh

Bonnie exclaimed, then blushed and said:

"Actually, it's all Bert's food, and I don't eat much. Well...... Bert forced me to eat it, hey, I don't like it at all, my favorite is chocolate candy. ”

Bert, who was on the side, rolled his eyes, slapped the back of Bonnie's head with his hand, and got up and went upstairs, leaving his sister alone to splash dirty water on him.

It was Bonnie who dragged him to steal Chris's candy. also came up with the idea that if you want to eat it, you can eat the weird candy that Chris opened, and Chris can't count them one by one, so you can't find it.

As a result, it's not impossible to count them one by one!

In this way, Chris was worried that they would eat bitter and unpalatable candies, so he picked them all out in advance......

Cut! The guy knew it from the beginning.

......

Chris got into the carriage and handed the box of chocolate candies to Bonnie behind him, and sure enough, he heard an exclamation, and then Chris felt a light in his hand, and the box was quickly taken away.

Immediately, Chris felt a hand reach to the corner of his mouth, subconsciously opened his mouth, and was stuffed with a candy, feeling the mellow chocolate taste in his mouth, Chris smiled at the corner of his mouth, took the whip and whipped the horse, and drove home.

At dinner, Chris recounted what the teacher had explained today to Bert and Bonnie.
