Chapter 59 Trip to the Zoo
At the luncheon.
Baron Barney drank fine wine and talked and laughed with Viscount Pompeii and his wife.
It can be seen that the matter regarding the horse should be over.
Chen Lun ate in silence, listening to them chatting about interesting things in the aristocratic circle and the latest decisions of the parliament.
"Little Rebecca, that horse made you fall and hurt your leg, and then almost hit you...Uncle Barney is very guilty and wants to apologize to you here."
Baron Barney raised his goblet and smiled to greet Rebecca across the table.
Rebecca quickly put down the knife and fork in her hand and picked up her wine glass.
"It doesn't matter, Uncle Barney... That's none of your business, it's just my own fun."
After both of them drank the red wine, Viscount Pompeii started talking about the afternoon's itinerary.
"Barney, I heard that the major shareholder behind Cuitong Zoo is Earl Bradley?"
"Oh, it seems nothing can be hidden from you, Pompeii... Yes, Count Bradley invested a lot of money there."
When Barney was full, he took the tablecloth handed by the maid, wiped his mouth, and talked.
“Currently, the business there is going well, and a large number of people come to visit every day... So many tickets are sold, and the money they get back is a large amount of gold pounds, which is really enviable!
It is said that they have two new elephants there, we can go and take a look. ”
Rebecca was very interested after hearing this and quickly acted coquettishly towards Madam Pompeii. Madame Pompeii was so noisy that she could do nothing, so she agreed as if coaxing a child.
Originally we were going to the zoo in the afternoon, so there was nothing wrong with spending more time watching the elephants.
"Mr. Jack, will you go too?"
Rebecca turned her head and asked Chen Lun, her eyes still full of expectation.
"Of course, Miss Rebecca."
"That's great!"
Rebecca looked very happy, and then realized that she should be more ladylike, and lowered her voice and added:
"Then I will need Mr. Jack to teach me about those animals, just like in class."
"No problem, just treat it as an outdoor practical class."
Chen Lun said with a smile.
After lunch.
Steward Binoz had prepared carriages in advance, Madame Pompeii and Rebecca took one, and the three gentlemen took another.
This arrangement made Rebecca pouted angrily, very dissatisfied.
The carriage left the gate of the manor and drove on the road.
Baron Barney sat opposite Chen Lun. He looked at the young man and smiled:
"Mr. Jack is really young and promising. After a simple inspection, he found out the exact cause of my horse's death. He deserves to be a scholar in this field..."
Viscount Pompeii, who was sitting next to him, showed a puzzled expression and cast a questioning look at Chen Lun.
"Does natural science also include veterinary related knowledge?
The situation was urgent yesterday, but now that I think about it, it is indeed a bit arbitrary... Mr. Jack? ”
[Baron Barney's favorability towards you has dropped, and he is currently in a hostile state! 】
Chen Lun saw the prompt box and noticed that Viscount Pompeii was suspicious of him.
"There's something wrong with Barney!"
His heart froze, but he remained calm on the surface.
I don’t know what he said to Viscount Pompeii to let the matter of the horse go unresolved.
But Chen Lun knew that the horse had taken food containing extraordinary power, causing it to become violent.
Based on what happened to Rebecca, it's likely that it was a targeted attack on the Viscount Pompeii's family.
But there is more than one sequence that can allow a horse to achieve such a level of extraordinary power, and Chen Lun cannot speculate at the moment.
"Your Excellency Viscount, I used to study veterinary medicine in order to study."
Chen Lun opened his eyes and told lies.
Viscount Pompeii nodded and did not continue on this topic.
Baron Barney, on the other hand, looked at him deeply.
After a while, the carriage stopped.
Several people got off the carriage, and not far away stood a huge arch with guardrails extending on both sides.
A huge sign hangs on the door - "Cuitiao Zoo".
People were coming and going, but Butler Binoz tied the carriage at the door, paid for the tickets and came back.
He was responsible for pushing Rebecca's wheelchair, while Mrs. Pompeii held a flower umbrella to shield her daughter from the sun.
Everyone slowly entered the zoo.
"Mr. Jack, I heard that you are from another country?
Traveling with us this time can be considered as showing you the city. ”
Baron Barney smiled heartily.
Chen Lun nodded politely to him, and then whispered:
"Thank you, Monsieur Baron...
But I think the most convenient way to understand a city is to ask how people work, love and die there.
I have lived in the outer city for a while, and I already know this place quite well. ”
Baron Barney's smile froze, and then he said nothing.
"Mr. Jack, it turns out you have stayed in the outer city... Is it fun there? I have never been there.
I also want to go and see it, but my parents don’t allow it. ”
Rebecca looked at Chen Lun curiously and said.
"It's not fun there, Miss Rebecca."
Chen Lun said calmly and glanced at Madam Pompeii beside her.
"The life you are living now is what those in the outer city dream of but cannot obtain."
"Is everything Mr. Jack said true? Mom?"
Rebecca turned to Madam Pompeii for confirmation.
Madam Pompeii nodded.
"Yes, Rebecca, there are a lot of bad people in the outer city. They do bad things all day long just to live in the inner city.
Remember Congressman Lawson’s son? That young man was killed by people from the outer city..."
Rebecca was frightened by her mother's words and covered her mouth.
Immediately she looked at Chen Lun, with the familiar admiration in her eyes again.
Mr. Jack is so awesome!
The bad guys in the outer city can't do anything to him!
"Kelly, don't tell Rebecca this."
Viscount Pompeii and Baron Barney walked in front, turning back to give instructions to their wives.
Mrs. Pompeii touched Rebecca's shoulder and said jokingly:
"Our Lord Viscount cares about you, Rebecca."
Everyone saw many animals along the way, which were nothing new to Chen Lun.
But here, only residents in the inner city have the financial resources and time to play regularly.
The ticket price is not much, but for the poor, it is more than half a month's expenses.
"Mr. Jack, are those two orangutans...kissing? Are they a couple?"
Rebecca asked curiously, pointing to two chimpanzees hugging each other in a large cage.
"Um, no..."
Chen Lun glanced at it and explained to Rebecca:
"They are two males. They just had a fight over courtship. They were trying to appease each other.
A kiss has a connotation of reconciliation to them, just like our handshake. ”
"Ah...?"
Rebecca was a little surprised.
Others also heard Chen Lun's story and were surprised by this explanation. But thinking of Chen Lun's identity, they silently chose to believe this statement.
This is the charm of authority.
[You witnessed the chimpanzee courtship process! [The weak and the strong eat LVMAX (passive)] takes effect! 】
[Strength +1, Dexterity +1, Charm +1]
Chen Lun was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that it was so simple to determine the effectiveness of this skill.
He looked around, suddenly filled with anticipation. Thank you to the beauty - Xia Yining for your 1 monthly ticket!
