"It is a letter of admission to the Academy of Magic. Give it to me. I am Master Jermyn's housekeeper." 'said an old man, coming out of the open door.
Silly-Head also knew that the filthy rules of these rich houses would not allow such a poor soul as himself to enter the house, so he pulled out Jermyn's letter and handed it to him, saying: "Uncle Butler, this is Master Jermyn's letter, you keep it."
He was looking up and down at Silly-Head's old keeper, and seeing his ridiculous appearance, he would have laughed twice, but Silly-Head's polite words made him feel very comfortable, so he accepted it with a smile, and put something in his hand to Silly-Head, saying: "Thank you for coming to deliver the letter. My young master has been worried about the delay in receiving it these two days."
Silly-Head knew it was a silver coin as soon as he touched the butler's hand, and then he suppressed his rapport and said with a smile: "Now Master Jermyn doesn't have to worry about the letter any more. I hope Master Jermyn will do well in the Academy of Magic and become a great magician."
"Oh, you are really good at talking, I will tell the young master good-bye." The butler said with satisfaction.
As the butler closed the door with a smile, Silly-Head opened his palm, looked at the silver coin in it, and smiled with relief.
"It's a silver coin. Now you don't have to worry about your meal." "Said Di, looking over at it.
"Well, but you have contributed to it. Shall I invite you to dinner tonight?" 'said Silly-Head, holding the silver coin.
"Yeah, yeah, hee hee, forget it, you can't spend it when you've got it." Flute was just excited, but thought of Silly-Head that thrifty look, said uneasily.
"No, no, money shouldn't be wasted, but entertaining friends is different, Boss Jon, that's what they say." "Silly-Head said solemnly.
"That... Ok, shall we order two dishes? ' 'said Di softly.
"Good, good..." Silly-Head looked at the blush on Flute's face and didn't know what to say.
As Dil happily led Silly-Head to Ken's house, they were lucky enough to get another silver coin as a tip, much to the delight of Silly-Head and Dil.
"If you can get a silver when you go to Boss Gills' house, I'll give it to you, Flute, as a reward for delivering this letter." 'said Silly-Head longingly.
"Really? Thank you in advance. ' A look of excitement flashed across Di's face.
"Of course, rich people make money. Oh, is that what you mean by Boss Gills?" 'said Silly-Head seriously.
'Well, look what a handsome house the Gills have. It's much nicer than Master Jermyn's or Master Ken's.' 'said Flute, pointing to the front door of Master Gills' house.
'Yes, perhaps you'll get a gold coin. I'll knock.' 'said Silly-Head, and knocked at the door.
'Who is it? Knocking so hard? It'll knock the paint off the door, and it'll cost you... '
The voice startled Silly-Head and Flute, for the speaker was rude and rude, and did not sound like the voice of a very rich man, and besides, it sounded as if it belonged to Boss Gills himself.
The door opened, and through the crack of the door came the big head of Boss Gills, and a look at Silly-Head. Flute looked at him with no expression on his face, neither laughing out loud at the ridiculous look of Silly-Head, nor wondering at the presence of a genie at the door, but staring at the two men in silence.
"My dear Gee... Boss Gills, I'm President Sheffer's assistant, it's a pleasure to meet you..." Silly-Head looked at the strange man, summoning up courage, and said.
Giles boss fat hand wave, impatiently said: "Stop, I know you, don't say polite words, you come to what?"
Silly-Head and Flute exchanged glances, both confused by Boss Gills' eccentricity.
"Hurry up, I'll close the door soon." Anger flashed in Boss Gills' eyes.
'No, no. The President asked me to send you two letters.' 'said Silly-Head, taking the letters quickly and holding them out.
Gills glanced at Silly-Head as he handed it to him, his still haughty eyes changed, and, with a slight squeak, squeezed through the crack in the door, snatched it away, read the writing, then the envelope, then checked that there was no sign of it being opened, and then relieved himself. As for the letter from the Academy of Magic, But he did not even read it.

"Ok, I have received the letter, go back and tell President Sheffer that I will do what the owner of the letter said, please tell the owner of the letter, let him not worry, as soon as there is news, I will tell him immediately, understand?" 'said Boss Gills, with a dignified look.
Only then did Silly-Head see what kind of man Mr. Gills really was in his face, in his eyes, in his straight figure, and just then Silly-Head remembered what the President had said in the morning, 'the man who controls the economic lifeblood of the country.'
"Yes, yes, I'll tell the President what you said, without a word of it, you may be assured." 'said Silly-Head, lowering his head quickly.
"Well, besides, I don't want anyone to know about this letter. You only sent me my son's acceptance letter today, is that clear?" 'said Giles, maintaining his authority.
'Yes, I see.' 'Silly-Head said firmly.
'There you go. Here you go. Take it to tea.' Gills fumbled in his pocket for a long time before pulling out a copper and handing it to him reluctantly.
There was a Silly-Head, and Flute's disappointment in seeing what should have been a silver, or even a gold, tip turned into a coin.
"Thank you, Boss Gills," he said. Silly-Head, suppressing his dissatisfaction, took the coin respectfully and said.
"Well, you're welcome." 'Boss Gills, back to his air of competence.
With a "bang", Mr Giles closes the big iron door. Looking at the hand that was ground flat copper plate, gradually, Silly-Head, flute, two people's faces are showing an uncontrollable smile, but that smile, the composition of bitter smile.
On the way back, Di smiled and said: "I can't believe that such a big boss would be so stingy and only give a copper sheet. It's hard to believe, isn't it?"
Silly-Head knew it was just a false impression made by Master Gills, but he could not explain it, so he followed the words of Flute, "Well, I didn't think so, Flute, this coin for me and this coin for you."
So Silly-Head reached for the silver coin he had just been given and held it out.
"No, no, we agreed that I'd keep the money from Boss Gills, so I can't go back on it, can I?" 'said Flute, blushing and shaking her head.
"But... But it's not fair, who would have thought Boss Gills was so mean? Don't refuse, Flute. ' "Silly-Head said awkwardly.
"No, how can a man not speak? Isn't it?" "Said Flute, glancing sideways at Silly-Head.
"That... Well, I'll work hard in the future, and then I'll make it up to you, okay? ' Silly-Head said helplessly.
"It's a deal." "Di 'er said with a smile.
"Yes, it's a deal." Silly-Head nodded solemnly and passed the coin.
With two fingers as jade, she took the coin from Silly-Head's palm and put it carefully in her pocket. Then, feeling a little shy, she whispered, "Well, we've done what Miss Anna has told us to do. It's time to go home."
"Yes, let's go," she said. Silly-Head then realized, withdrew his eyes and said, embarrassed.
When the two returned to the mercenary Union, it was already dark, and Silly-Head, fearing that President Sheffer was anxious, spoke to Flute and ran all the way to the office.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
"Come in, please." "Said President Sheffer, who was inside.
"Yes, President." Silly-Head said yes, pushed open the door and went in.
President Shyfel looked up at Silly-Head as he came in, closed the papers he was reading, made a wave of water in his hand, wrapped them around him, and put them in a similarly enchanted box beside him. Then he said, "Have the letters been delivered?"
"In reply to the president, the letters have been delivered, Master Jermyn's letters to the butler, Master Ken's letters to Ken's brother, Master Gills' letters to Master Gills himself, that's all." Silly-Head answered, with his head bowed.
'Oh, and what did Boss Gills say? 'asked President Sheffer, nodding approvingly.
"Yes, Master Gills. He asked me to tell you that he will take care of everything that Master Xin has arranged. He also said that Master Xin should rest assured that he will not worry, and that he will pass on the news as soon as he has it." 'replied Silly-Head.
"Well, well, you've done very well. Well, take it, and change your coat." 'said Shafer, nodding his head.
Looking at the president of the Shyfel stretched out his hand, on the table a yellow gold coin, Silly-Head's heart was hot, but he was embarrassed to take it clearly, at the moment, declined to say: "President, if this is the salary of the work, I can want the money you give, if not, I can't want."
"Oh, why?" "President Sheffer asked, stunned.
"You think, work, it is the heaven and earth, I take it is also comfortable, but if you because of a moment of happiness, reward small money, this will encourage the small to develop the character of being greedy for small cheap, in that case, once someone also take money to buy the small, the small will be used to money, unruly, so please do not reward small money." Silly-Head gulped to explain.
The president stared at Silly-Head like a monster. A smile emerged from the corners of his mouth. He nodded and slowly collected the coin back, saying, "You are very special, but... Well, in his letter, President Kree mentioned your natural resistance to magic, and he sent you to me because he wanted me to study this special phenomenon in you. I was not so enthusiastic about you at first, but now I have changed my mind, and I will study it."
Silly-Head's body shook, unable to believe that Sheffer was telling the truth, and even less that President Kerry would fight for such an unassuming piece of trash. His eyes watered as he squeezed the magic stick he had always carried in his arms and never moved.
Silly-Head's expression fell into the eyes of the president of Shefel, nodding secretly, for Silly-Head's true feelings, the heart is good, the name of the moment haha said: "President Kerry is an old friend of mine, but we graduated from the Academy of Magic together, what he said, I will naturally redouble my efforts, well, it is not too early now, we should go home."
Hearing this, Silly-Head cleaned up the excitement in his heart, quickly helped the president to put on his hat, opened the door, and let the president out of the room.
