The family title of the Counts of Loire comes from their family's migration to the Loire region.

And their family's castle was built in imitation of the Château de Chambord, which is the famous Château de Chambord.

Chambord Castle was originally a mixture of Batow style and Renaissance style, and this castle is a fusion of Swiss pastoral style and German Gothic style.

Of course, this castle is much smaller. The Château de Chambord has four hundred and forty rooms and two hundred and eighty-two fireplaces.

But the castle was only a tenth of its size, with a total of almost forty rooms.

The Château de Chambord covers an area of 5,440 hectares, and this castle covers only three hectares, which is not even a thousandth of the size.

The only thing that is the same is that the castle is white, and the center gathers a combination of many slender small towers to form the main building, with a large horn fort on each side, and four small round forts to guard the main building.

In later generations, it became the Megan Museum, with an entrance fee of 5 Swiss francs each.

The castle's original maid's room was turned into a children's playground and zoo with many peacocks.

Jonas also pushes Leia on the swing by the lake for a while, but then, the car accident comes to this era.

As a neighbor, Hannah often came to visit the house. There are three small hills on this headland by the lake, and only two of them live.

In the summer, Hannah often comes with the flowers she has grown. But now it's freezing, and today they're bringing fresh bread baked by Hannah.

"Hello, Lady Hoffman, Master Jonas. Thank you for coming to visit the Earl. ”

Originally from England, Butler Marseley is an old-school English butler who is always courteous and attentive.

Born at the end of the last century, the Count of Loire was a romantic figure in his youth, originally having a son and a daughter.

But he lost his only son during World War II, and his daughter turned against him, and after marrying in the United States, he hasn't been back to see him for decades.

Originally, he had a sister who had never married with him, but his sister had died when Jonas was a child.

Since then, he has lived in seclusion in the castle alone, and has hired a team of professionals through the town office to take care of his life.

Following the butler, we walked through the empty and deserted hall on the first floor and up the stairs to the second floor.

Because the earl is not good at walking, he rarely goes downstairs, and there was originally an elevator from a hundred years ago, which has long since been unused.

The exterior of this villa is still shiny, but the inside is full of a rotten smell.

Stepping on the thick carpet, the few of them did not make a sound, and came to a thick copper-clad wooden door on the side.

The butler pushed the door open, and a wave of heat poured out.

On a large Turkish-style bed with four columns, the emaciated Count of Loire was left with only skin and bones, lying on the bed without a single bulge.

When he saw Hannah and Jonas, he grinned silently, nodded to Hannah, whom he often met, and looked at Jonas. "Little Jonas, it's been a long time since I've seen you. ”

Jonas came to the bedside, crouched down, and grabbed his trembling left hand. "Grandpa Willeny, you're not in a good state right now, I'm still waiting for you to play goalball with me. ”

He let out a loud laugh in his throat, and he gasped for breath before he could make a sound. "I can't play anymore, I can only wait to die in bed now. ”

Hannah touched his forehead on the other side of the bed and said, "If I had known this, I should have gone to the tropics in the autumn to spend this winter." ”

"It's useless, I've heard God's call,...... I don't want to die outside. ”

Jonas comforted: "When the spring flowers bloom, Grandpa Villeni, your body will be fine." ”

He shook his head and looked at Hannah. "Have you considered my proposal?"

Hannah nodded and said, "Yes, I can buy your house and give the money to your two grandchildren." ”

The Count of Loire let out a long breath as if he had let go of his thoughts. "Thank you Hannah, I can hardly find anyone who can help me except you. ”

The Count of Loire was a loser and a bastard in his youth, and the story of their family was complex enough to write a book of five million words.

According to Yannick's previous tone of small talk, his wife was almost killed by his sister, and his son was almost dead at his hands.

His feud with his sister was complicated, and his daughter was ashamed of him.

Now, even his daughter is dead. However, he did not break off, and his daughter gave birth to two children, both of whom are now thirty years old.

He almost lost all his family property, but the emaciated camel was bigger than a horse, and finally he took out the family's artwork and entrusted it to the government, through which he arranged for this medical and housekeeping team.

In other words, now he has almost no property except for this house.

Listening to his conversation with Hannah, it should be that he took the initiative to buy a house for Hannah, probably to leave an inheritance for his two grandchildren in the United States.

But in Switzerland, a house is the most difficult to sell, especially with a castle like this.

Because this kind of commercial housing that is not in the city, if you want to buy and sell, it is not only a matter for buyers and sellers, but also involves neighbors and local governments.

In other words, you need to pick a buyer to sell a house, or there are three different camps to pick together.

If the neighbors do not agree, the buyer cannot live in the house after buying it, and it must be voted on by the local council, and if more than 10% of the neighbors in the community do not agree, the buyer will not be able to buy the house.

The Swiss countryside is conservative and xenophobic, and household registration is even more difficult to enter.

With such strict conditions, most people can only choose to buy and sell urban houses, or houses specially sold to the outside world.

For a house like the Château de Loire, very few people can afford to buy it, and it is not uncommon for the conditions to be filtered and not find a buyer for several years.

The Count of Loire could now be out of breath at any moment, and where was the energy to deal with it.

Listening to him discuss with Hannah about the disposition of the house, Jonas couldn't help but think of his past life.

On that plane, Jonas should be gone, but I don't know if Yannick is still there.

Hannah lost her favorite grandson and certainly wouldn't have thought of buying a house, so the castle became a museum.

In this way, the logic seems to be smooth.

Jonas felt a little depressed, a little hot, the temperature in this room was too high, and it was too breathless.

"Grandma, you talk to Grandpa Villeny, and I'll go out for a walk. ”

Exiting the room, Jonas descended the same path to the first floor and then to the main entrance of the house.

The French like to trim their gardens neatly and make geometric patterns, and this castle is no different.

The castle was built on the hillside, on the east side of the hill, planted with vines, and below the vineyards, near the lake, were the servants' quarters and the guard's house.

There are not as many trees here as Jonas's house, and the planning is not good, which is not quite to Jonas's liking.

Except that this house is a little more beautiful and occupies a larger area.

Jonas came to the gate on the north side, which was the main road to the castle, and a beautiful bluestone English country house-style building was at the gate, and the guards lived inside.

They also knew Jonas and chatted for a while when they heard that the Hoffmanns were interested in buying the castle.

On his return, Jonas saw Helen and Neuer coming together from the south-west path.

They spotted Jonas, who had been cowering and moving briskly, like a pair of happy fawns. Neuer's mouth kept shouting: "Jonas, Jonas ......"

Jonas walked to the small southwest gate, where the security guards did not stop them and let them in.

"Jonas, I knew you were coming this morning to talk about buying a house, and I didn't sleep well all night. It's going to be our home, right?"

Thinking of Nicole, Jonas sighed and said, "Do you want me to show you around?"

Helen said, "Let's go outside and see, Grandpa Villeny is so scary. ”

The Château de Loire is almost a haunted house in the town of Meghan, and many children yearn for it but fear it.

The longing for this castle is very beautiful, and it is called the two castles of Lucerne along with the Gucci Castle on the top of the hill in the city of Lucerne.

But the owner here is not gregarious, and for more than ten years, he has hardly left the castle, and many absurd stories have been born.

Jonas was a neighbour and played with the Count of Loire as a child, and had played goalball with him in the garden a few years earlier.

But the other children didn't know him, a weirdo who hadn't been out of the house for more than ten years, enough to scare the little ones.

Helen had seen the Count of Loire as a child and was scared to tears by him.

Neuer was also obviously frightened by the legends, and followed behind Jonas, not daring to part for half a step.

They walked along the now deserted vineyards to the lake and took in the scenery around them.

The weather was cold and the wind was strong, which made them no longer afraid of the man in the castle, and they mustered up the courage to enter the house.

Entering the first floor was already Helen's limit, and she didn't dare to go upstairs.

Under her influence, Neuer did not dare to go upstairs either. The two girls looked at the murals on the walls of the ballroom on the first floor and whispered about the style.

Hannah came down from the upper floors and was not surprised to see two little girls. He waved to Jonas and walked out.

"Grandma, how are you talking?"

"Five million Swiss francs, we are responsible for all the deed fees and profits tax. ”

"It's a reasonable price. ”

The castle villa that Richie bought not far north cost more than 10 million, which was about the same as this house. Although it is newer and can be moved in directly, the garden is much smaller, less than 10,000 square meters.

In addition, in order to obtain residency, Richie also spent almost two million to build a new marina in the town, donated a sum of money to various departments, and gave gifts to almost every family in the town.

It is equivalent to saying that the castle they bought now is only half the price at most.

Of course, this is not exactly how the accounts are calculated. Although this castle is only 150 years old, many places have to be renovated and renovated at a great cost.

Then there's the question of eligibility.

Hannah looked at Jonas and said, "I think it's more appropriate for you to come and pay for it." ”

Jonas nodded. "Okay, I'll have Wolf send someone to deal with this tomorrow. ”

Hannah was in charge of the Hoffman family fund, but it was money that belonged to all the Hoffman family members, and the house they bought was counted in the public school.

Jonas paid for it himself, and the house was his own.

Hannah looked at Neuer and smiled, "Little Neuer, you have to start thinking about how to decorate your new home now." ”

The power of this sentence was a bit great, and Neuer looked back at the house not far away, and a charming look appeared on his face.

It seemed that in an instant, she became much more mature.

Because the Count of Loire is not in good health, the handover procedures will have to be carried out from now on.

He was also protected by the medical team and moved into a sanatorium in Lucerne the next day.

At the same time, his appointed lawyer also traveled to the United States to find his two heirs to inherit his estate.

In order not to have disputes in the future, all formalities must be completed before his death.

On November 15, after four days of negotiations, the Château de Loire was officially placed under the name of Jonas.

And this castle was also renamed Hoffmann Castle by Jonas.

On the 16th, Jonas did not accompany Balm on this day, but rented a Ryanair helicopter and came to Montreux.

Helicopter rentals in Switzerland are not too expensive, and many people choose to rent an aircraft during the winter months, including skiing.

Nicole, who was three months pregnant, finally had a little reaction in her belly, but it was still not obvious.

The baby fat that was originally thinned has resurfaced because of the leisureliness of this time.

Jonas spent the night with her and couldn't help but ask her in bed. "Have you ever regretted your choice?"

She shook her head and said, "It's only been a few months, and I'm already feeling extremely uncomfortable, and if I was allowed to live like this for the rest of my life, I think I'd go crazy." ”

Jonas was a little frustrated when he heard this answer. As a traverser, I can't even let a woman completely return to her heart.

Nicole said, "No matter who you marry in the future, I am also the mother of your first child." You don't want to leave me alone. ”

"Who can say for sure what will happen in the future. ”

She added: "It belongs to me, and I will never give it up." Jonas, don't try to escape the palm of my hand in your life. ”

Seeing her arrogant appearance, Jonas wanted to beat her up, but not now!

The child in her womb became her talisman.

Jonas didn't want her to repeat the path of her previous life and become box office poison. After pondering for a long time, he said: "When you give birth to a child, in the recovery stage, you can start practicing martial arts." Don't want to act in literary films, I will make you a goddess of commercial films in the future. ”

"No, I'm going to go my own way. I love literary films. ”

"If you don't want to be an actor with a salary of 20 million, you can do it. ”

Nicole's eyes lit up and she immediately changed her words. "Maybe I'm willing to give in to you for the sake of money. ”

"Being my wife is the master of money. ”

"Freedom is more precious than money. ”

Jonas hated itchy teeth. "Wait, I'll let you know what the cost of disobeying me is!"
