Isabel quickly explained: "Master, don't get me wrong. In fact, it's mainly for little Michael. You don't want little Michael to call little Locke little master, but it's impossible to call little Locke little brother. They are still young now, so it doesn't matter for the time being, but when they
How will we get along with each other when we grow up, so it might as well be"
Although Isabel didn't say everything, Tangning already understood what she meant. As a time traveler, although Tangning's three views have been destroyed and changed a lot by the life of a big slave owner, there are still some bottom lines. For example, he
It is absolutely unacceptable for his son to call his other son master, even if his skin is black; but if they are to be brothers, this is indeed inappropriate, at least in the environment of New Orleans, if he does this,
You will definitely be laughed at by people in your circle.
Therefore, it seems that living in two places is indeed a good solution, and it can also increase one's control over the Brazilian manor.
So Tangning nodded and replied: "Okay, you go tell Caroline, I agree to this, and I will try my best to make time to visit her in Brazil every year."
Isabel breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I'll thank the master for Caroline first. By the way, the master, Hannah and Holly are also going to follow!"
This time Tangning agreed without hesitation: "Yes, with her mother and sister by her side, she won't be too lonely!"
Then he asked: "Isa, aren't you going?"
Isabel shook her head and replied: "I won't go, I'm not pregnant with your child yet!" Then she said distressedly: "Master, am I sick and unable to have a child?"
"This is not your problem. Look, I have so many women, but now Heidi, Nicole and Caroline have children. So this is not your problem!" Tangning advised.
But Tang Ning's comfort didn't seem to put Isabel at ease, so Tang Ning decided to use another way to comfort her, and Isabel also welcomed this way of comfort, because this way of comfort was most likely to solve the problem she was most concerned about at the moment.
While sending Caroline and her son away, Tangning also sent a telegram to Nicole, asking her to help take care of him and keep an eye on him to prevent the three women from doing something embarrassing to them in a moment of confusion.
.
That night, Tangning went to Garrison's house to attend Uncle Milo's "accession" reception. In fact, Milo officially handed over "City Paper" to his son Levin. This reception was to announce it to everyone.
As soon as they met, Garrison warned Tangning: "Tony, you must support Levine from now on. The serialized novel must be published in our City Paper!"
"Don't worry, Uncle Milo. When has my novel ever been published in other newspapers?" Tangning promised, but in fact, he has only written one novel, "Gone with the Wind" until now.
Then he comforted: "And Levin is so smart, so you don't have to worry so much anymore!"
Just at this time, a middle-aged man with shaggy hair and a mustache walked over. Although Tang Ning looked familiar, she really couldn't remember it for a moment.
Fortunately, Garrison helped introduce: "Samuel, you are here just in time. Tony, let me introduce you. This is my good friend, Samuel - Langhen - Craven, uh, let's talk about this
The name may be unfamiliar to you, but I’m sure you’ve seen “The Famous Jumping Frog of Calaveras County”
Before Garrison could finish what he said, Tangning couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh my God! Are you Mr. Mark Twain?" (Actually, Mark Twain is a pen name to commemorate the captain when he was a sailor.)
At this time, Garrison had already introduced Downing's name, so Mark Twain smiled and replied: "It's Mr. Downing. I like your "Gone with the Wind" very much!"
"Thank you! I also like your humorous stories very much, and I have always thought that truly humorous stories are the most difficult to write!" In fact, Tangning wanted to talk to him about "Million Pounds" and "Running for Governor," but there was nothing about this.
He hadn't written it yet
After chatting for a while, Tang Ning learned that Mark Twain also planned to create a newspaper. Although Tang Ning wanted to tell him, your "Express" went bankrupt after less than a year, and the automatic typesetter you invested in also failed.
He will go bankrupt, so writing novels honestly is more suitable for you. But then again, if he didn't have these experiences, he probably wouldn't be able to write these masterpieces, because a real writer needs life experience.
Because he wanted to create a newspaper, Mark Twain's main purpose of attending this cocktail party was to make friends with people in the publishing industry, so he left after chatting with Tang Ning for a while.
At this time, Melina came over and asked Tangning with some surprise: "Mr. Tangning, you seem to value this Mark Twain very much!"
The reason why Melina asked this was because in the literary contempt chain at that time, those who wrote novels looked down on those who wrote short stories, those who wrote serious literature looked down on those who wrote humorous comedies, and Mark Twain’s two most important works at this time
The full-length novels "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and "The Adventures of Harry Finn" have not yet been written. He only relies on some short humorous stories published in newspapers, so his status is far less high than that of later generations.
"Well, I think he will be the king of short stories in the future!" Tang Ning replied confidently.
PS: Yesterday, an editor from another website came to ask me to double-book at his place. Haha, he really looks up to me. Friends who are familiar with I should know that it is not easy for me to ensure that a book is updated twice a day.
Also double open
Also, pray that there will be a site shortfall this afternoon. It’s so hard to live without recommendations!
