Personality V: I will save everything

Although my father/mother cannot go out with me to play.

Although both Andrew and Carl were a little disappointed, they were still happy to go out.

Andrew and Carl were bouncing along the way, curious about everything outside the manor.

Claude also accompanied them in the street, while Joseph stood there, watching them from a distance.

"I am indeed old and can no longer fit into the circle of young people." Joseph looked at them and muttered in a low voice.

"Uncle Joseph, I want to try the bread in that bakery." Karl came over and pulled Joseph's clothes corner and said.

Joseph looked in the direction of Karl's finger and found that the bakery seemed to only sell black bread.

"Are you sure? This bread doesn't taste very good." Joseph decided to remind Karl.

After all, he knew that Karl had grown up on the manor since he was a baby, and he had only eaten white bread, and compared to white bread, black bread was like a brick.

Bake bread with flour mixed with a large amount of bran. The brown bread produced in this way is not only unpalatable, but also clogged in the throat.

And the most important thing is that Joseph looked at the little baby teeth in Carl's mouth and wondered whether this child could bite black bread?

"But I want to give it a try. Uncle Joseph. I have never tasted this kind of bread. Why is it black? I have only seen white bread." Karl said to Joseph in a sweet voice.

Carl had never seen such dark bread before and wanted to have a taste.

"Well, my little sir, I warned you."

Seeing this, Joseph didn't intend to stop Karl. After all, people can only learn to be smart when they hit a wall.

Joseph took Carl into the bakery.

"Oh, dear sir, I didn't expect you to condescend to come to this small shop." The clerk in the bakery saw Joseph and Karl coming in, and immediately came out to greet them. After all, even a fool can tell that these two people Definitely two nobles.

Look at their gorgeous clothes and the jewels that adorn them.

"Good morning, madam. This child wants to try the bread in your store." Joseph held Carl's hand while telling the clerk the purpose of their visit to the store.

"Oh, of course. It's my honor to serve you, sir."

The shopkeeper quickly packed the most expensive bread sold in their shop and used the most expensive packaging bag. He packed it and handed it to Joseph.

Joseph noticed their little moves, but didn't care. He took out a handful of gold coins from the money bag given to him by the manor owner and placed it on the table.

"Oh, thank you, thank you, sir, you are so generous." Looking at Joseph, he took out a handful of gold coins. The shopkeeper immediately stretched out his hands, took the gold coins, and counted them carefully and found that Joseph gave him 22 gold coins.

Oh my god, 22 gold coins can buy this shop several times. (One gold coin is approximately equivalent to 3800 yuan today.)

Joseph didn't pay attention and left the bakery without looking back.

At this time, Claude and Andrew also noticed what was happening here, and they also gathered over. Claude and Andrew were also curious about the taste of brown bread.

Claude had never eaten black bread before his death, and Andrew had never eaten black bread at all in the orphanage. He only ate weird soup, the kind of thing that couldn't fill his stomach at all.

"..." Joseph calmly watched them put the black bread into their mouths, knowing that they would definitely regret it.

"Hmm... ugh..."

"Ahem, bah..."

"Uh...wuwuwu..."

Claude bit off a small piece of black bread, chewed it in his mouth, and found that he couldn't swallow it at all.

As soon as Andrew bit off the brown bread, he immediately spat it out because he felt there were sawdust in it.

But Karl couldn't bite the black bread at all, and even bit his teeth to the point of pain. He covered his cheeks and silently shed tears of grievance.

Looking at their reactions, Joseph was not surprised at all, because it was the same when he ate brown bread for the first time.

This kind of brown bread is completely different from the white bread they eat at the manor.

The white bread in the manor is finely fermented, feels as soft as clouds, and tastes very sweet.

The black bread sold in shops outside has not been fermented at all. Because refined flour is expensive, civilians can only use flour mixed with a large amount of bran to bake bread. Eat this kind of bread. It certainly doesn't taste any better.

What's more, this type of black bread is often mixed with sawdust, sand and even stones.

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Seeing this, Joseph also squatted down and comforted Karl carefully.

Seeing his brother crying continuously, Andrew also became anxious. He looked around, trying to find something interesting to attract Carl's attention.

"Karl, stop crying, look over there." Andrew pointed forward.

Looking in the direction Andrew pointed, Karl gradually stopped crying. His attention was drawn to it. He had never seen such a red and pointed building.

Joseph also followed Karl's eyes and looked over, and he recognized it. It was a circus.

"Be good, Carl, stop crying, shall we go to the circus to watch the show?" Joseph comforted Carl.

"(Sobbing)...Okay."

Joseph picked up Carl and held Andrew with one hand. Claude followed Joseph, and the four of them walked to the circus together.

"Oh, welcome, welcome! Dear sir, welcome to the Noisy Circus, where you can experience the ultimate joy." The circus leader standing at the door saw the four people dressed as nobles who came, and immediately stood in front of him. A flattering smile appeared on that fat face.

"Hello, gentlemen, welcome to all of you. You must know that this circus usually only has some lowly civilians coming here."

"Let's take a look at this, the most famous clown here." The circus leader said as he pulled the clown standing next to him over, not caring at all about the red-haired clown who was already missing a leg. The clown, was he staggered by him?

However, the red-haired clown didn't pay attention, or he was numb. He only noticed the tears on Karl's face in Joseph's arms, so he made a face at him, trying to make him laugh.

"Giggle..." Sure enough, his move made Karl laugh.

"Hey! What are you doing! You despicable thing! Who let you get close to this noble young master!"

When the circus leader saw the red-haired clown approaching the noble young master, he immediately reprimanded him loudly. He did not want to make these noble masters disgusted and give up the opportunity for him to extract oil and water.

ah! What the circus leader didn't know was that what he did aroused Joseph's disgust, and he didn't want to bring the children to this circus. He has already seen that this circus is full of dirty and unscrupulous transactions.

But what Joseph didn't know was that Andrew already sympathized with the clown. After all, Andrew's white hair once caused him to be bullied by people in the orphanage. Just like the disabled red-haired clown now, he was regarded as a selling point by people. Used as an object of entertainment by people. He wanted to help the clown, just like the manor owner had helped him.

But Karl didn’t know anything. He was just a three-year-old kid. He just liked this clown. He thought this clown was very interesting.

"Uncle Joseph, I want this clown." Andrew said to Joseph.

"Clown, clown, I like it." Karl also clapped his hands in Joseph's arms and echoed with a smile.

The reaction of the two children was indeed something Joseph did not expect.

However, before Joseph had time to react, the circus leader took one step ahead of him and responded.

"Oh, dear young masters, do you like this clown? He is the top star of our circus. Many people are chasing after his deformed leg. So, its price will not be cheap. , you must give me 20 gold coins."

The circus ringmaster immediately started vigorously promoting his clown. In fact, he knew that people were no longer interested in his deformed leg, and he urgently needed to get rid of this clown.

Hearing the words of the circus leader, Joseph couldn't help but rolled his eyes in his heart.

After all, he can tell at a glance what the circus leader is doing. If it is really the top card that can make him a lot of money, he will definitely not be willing to sell it. After all, he will continue to squeeze out of him. Damn it, since he is so eager to sell this clown to them, it must be because this clown is no longer popular.

However, when the words of the circus leader fell into Karl's ears, they had another meaning.

"Uncle Joseph, let's buy him. He only costs 20 gold coins, which is very cheap." Karl said coquettishly in Joseph's arms.

Oh, forgive Carl, he doesn't understand the concept of money at all. He only knew that when they bought black bread just now, Uncle Joseph gave the clerk 22 gold coins. He only knew that 22 was greater than 20.

As for Andrew, he also felt that the deal was a good deal, because when he was in the orphanage, he had no chance to touch money at all. After being adopted by the manor owner, what he wanted, the manor owner could directly conjure it up for him, and he would be more right. There is no concept of money anymore.

Looking at the two children looking at him with pleading eyes, Joseph admitted that he was defeated.

It doesn't matter, anyway, the task given to him by the owner of the manor is to take good care of these two children. Since he bought this clown to make them happy, then buy it.

"I can give you 30 gold coins, but there is one condition. You must ensure that this clown has nothing to do with your circus from now on." Joseph said to the circus leader.

He didn't want to wait until one day the identity of the manor owner was known to the circus leader, and he would come to pester the manor owner again.

After all, a good assistant cannot cause trouble to the master.

"Oh, of course, dear sir, he will be yours if you buy it."

I heard that this noble man was willing to add ten more gold coins to buy this clown. The circus leader was almost crazy with joy. He didn't expect that this useless waste would bring him a lot of value in the end.

So the next thing is very simple.

Joseph counted 30 gold coins from the money bag and gave them to the circus director. The circus director gave the red-haired clown to Joseph, plus a guarantee stating that the clown would have nothing to do with their circus from today on.

At the same time, he also told Joseph the name of the red-haired clown - Juke.

Andrew and Carl didn't understand the twists and turns. They just felt happy that Uncle Joseph agreed to buy the clown.

But they looked at the dirty look of the clown and felt worried.

So they persuaded Joseph to take them to a clothing store to buy a clean new suit for the clown.

Throughout the whole process, Andrew and Carl regarded the red-haired clown as their usual dress-up doll.

They were discussing what color would look good with his red hair.

While they were discussing, Carl discovered that the clown seemed to be crying all the time.

"Are you sad?" Karl walked over and said to the clown in a sweet voice.

"No, dear young master, I... this..." Juke didn't know how to answer Karl's question. He was afraid that if he answered poorly, he would be punished by the noble master.

Karl didn't care about his answer. He just looked at Juke curiously, then rummaged in his pocket, and finally took out a candy.

"My mother never allows me to eat too many candies. I have hidden this candy for a long time."

As Carl said this, he put the candy into Juke's hand.

"But I feel like you need it more than me, so here it is, you need something sweet when you're sad."

Karl finished speaking with a smile, then turned around and happily discussed with brother Andrew whether Jack was more suitable to wear pearls or rubies.

Qiu Ke took the candy in his hand at a loss.

This is the first time he has received kindness from others.

In the past, when he was in the circus, people would only laugh at his sad face and this deformed leg and find fun in him.

But he had to cater to people to get a chance to survive.

If you don't do well, you will be punished by the circus leader. The feeling of the whip hitting your body is really painful.

Qiu Ke thought this while unwrapping the candy.

This candy looks very expensive, because it is very beautifully made, and there are even a few star-like things inside, making it look like a starry sky, and the candy wrapper on the outside also looks very precious.

Qiu Ke looked at the candy in his hand and seemed a little at a loss. Is this candy really something that a despicable creature like himself can put in his mouth?

But the sweet smell that he had never smelled before prompted him to put the candy in his mouth.

“So sweet”
