Chapter 116 solemn farewell

"It is better to have a short pain than long pain." This is a motto that we often linger when solving problems.

It was under the spur of this sentence that Zhuo Qun cleanly and neatly solved a series of troubles between him and the woman.

Completely corrected the mistakes in his life.

However, in order to avoid being found and entangled by Anai, he would not be able to stay for this year's hunting season.

In comparison, his reluctance to Mr. Capel and the manor made him more sad than being alone on the road.

I have to admit that Zhuo Qun lived a ridiculous life even though he lived a ridiculous life.

But in the years he spent in France, he did not spend his time in vain and gained nothing.

In addition to learning French, hunting, fishing, surfing, water skiing, dog training and wine tasting, and the newly-earned fingertip magic training methods.

He also really made a real friend, the owner of the manor, Mr. Capel.

Mr. Capel is a rich widower, born into a famous local family.

My wife is a childhood sweetheart with him.

But he died when he was forty, and he never married another wife, and he had been through more than ten years.

When his two sons grew up, they also went to work in big cities like Paris and Lyon, getting married and having children.

They will only come back with their wives and children during summer vacation or Christmas.

Therefore, in the past few years, in addition to the butler, the cook, the gardener, the groom, and Zhuo Qun have become the closest people in his life.

Perhaps it is precisely because Zhuo Qun does not have the habit of being unruly, frivolous and arrogant in ordinary young people.

Very polite and respect tradition.

Perhaps because Mr. Capel and Zhuo Qun's mental age are close.

Not only do they have a consistent worldview and values, but they also feel lonely inside.

So there was a natural friendship.

Mr. Cape not only shared the joy of hunting, wine cellar, tobacco, food, and magic tricks with Zhuo Qun.

He also often talks about his life experience and experience to Zhuo Qun.

He didn't even say anything to his son and grandson, but he could tell Zhuo Qun frankly.

It can be said that their relationship between teachers and friends has reached the point where they are not family members but are better than family members.

So in the face of such a separation, Zhuo Qun took a much more serious attitude than dealing with Anai and Dela.

He didn't dare to be hasty at all and bought a large box of Louis Vuitton cigars as a parting gift.

Just as Dela went to pack his things, he found Mr. Capel in his master's study.

At that time, Mr. Cape was wiping his shotgun in the study. The fireplace in the house was on fire. There was a huge deer head hanging on it, which was Mr. Cape's masterpiece five years ago.

And being in his fifties is enough to make a person wise.

Mr. Cape only found him when he shouldn't have seen Zhuo Qun and saw the gift in his hand, so he roughly guessed what he was going to do.

"My friend, I thought you were practicing at the shooting range. It seems that you are afraid of fighting. Why, are you so afraid of losing to me on bets?"

"In comparison, sir. It seems that you have guessed it. I'm here to say goodbye. This is a little gift, to thank you for your many days of hospitality."

"Oh my god, a cigar worth fifty euros per cigar? And it's such a big box? It seems you don't plan to come back in the short term. Why, you're leaving for so long? Even the wild boar won't be beaten? I thought you would hunt one alone this year."

"Sir, I really want to do it. But I'm afraid I have to leave. Some things have changed."

"Can I ask what's going on? Maybe I can help."

Mr. Cape said as he pulled out a cigar from the box, then put the gun down, lit the cigar and smoked it.

Zhuo Qun was very pleased to see his satisfied squirming.

"Thank you very much, but you can't get involved. Simply put, it's mainly because Anai and I broke up. She did something that made me unhappy. I don't want to see her again. And she will definitely come here to pick up her luggage, you know, what she is like. If she finds me, it will become even more boring."

"It turns out that's true, I know." Mr. Cape muttered, and then patted Zhuo Qun's hand kindly.

"Young man, you are a good guy, everything is good. But your vision of choosing a girlfriend is a bit bad. So for me, this may not be a bad thing."

"Yes, I understand now. I have the same view as you. So please don't worry about me."

"I'm glad you think so, so where are you going next? Are there any plans?"

"Actually, it's quite hasty and there's no plan. But the time spent in Nice and your manor made me understand a little. There are many beautiful things in this world, far more adorable than women and money, and it's worth a good look. I think I should go to Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Italy, and maybe the United Kingdom and Serbia. I also want to try out what the Orient Express feels like."

"I really envy you. People with plenty of time are the most enviable, let alone you are so rich. I spent such a life when I was young, and it was such a wonderful time. This idea is great. I wish you a smooth journey and a pleasant one."

Mr. Cape said this and let out a sigh that was unique to the elderly. His voice was very low, but he still felt reluctant.

So he said, "Of course, you must also remember that the door of my manor is open to you at any time. As long as you want to come, you are welcome at any time."

Zhuo Qun was really moved by this.

"Thank you, Mr. Capel, I must say that you are the best person I have ever met in France. I will definitely send you cards no matter where I am."

"Haha, the same is true of my opinion of you. Before I met you, I had no good feelings for Oriental people. But now it's different. There are very few people I admire in my life, and you are one of them. I know me better than my relatives."

Mr. Cape smiled, and then remembered something again.

"Ah, by the way, when are you going to leave? Let's leave today?"

"Yes, I'm afraid time is very tight. After all, it only takes a few hours to fly over Paris. If I can, I plan to leave after lunch."

"Well, I will let Albert (the housekeeper of Cape Manor) deliver you by car. Before that, I have to drive a bottle of good wine to see you off. That bottle of Jules Robin is fine. Come on, let's go to the wine cellar together."

"You mean that bottle of 1858 cognac? No, it's too expensive..."

"Haha, expensive? No, not at all. My friend, our friendship deserves such good wine."

In this way, before parting with Mr. Capel, Zhuo Qun drank his fine wine that had been treasured for more than 150 years.

So when it was time to have lunch, they were already drunk and didn't have much appetite.

Mr. Cape even said in public annoyance during the meal.

Unfortunately, I don’t have a daughter and my granddaughter is too young, otherwise I would definitely find Zhuo Qun as my son-in-law or grandson-in-law.

The attitude of this statement is quite serious, not like a drunken talk or a joke.

So Dela, who was following the meal, couldn't help but stare at Zhuo Qun with affection, looking very resentful.

Zhuo Qun was so embarrassed that he could only change the topic quickly to avoid further trouble.

Finally, after lunch, in the fierce cold wind, Albert drove Zhuo Qun and Dela to Avignon Airport.

Zhuo Qun and Dela hugged each other and went their separate ways.
Chapter completed!
