"Master, Mr. Maxi, who claims to be your old friend, is waiting for you in the living room!" That morning, when Tangning was trying to create (plagiarize) Sherlock Holmes, Caroline suddenly came in to report to him.
Tang Ning searched her memory and found that Maxi was indeed her old friend, but to be more precise, he should be an old friend of "Tang Ning" before she traveled through time. So she stood up and said, "It turns out that this guy Paul is here!"
But then he remembered that this guy was extremely lecherous, and one of his hobbies was to ask others for female slaves, so he ordered: "You and Isabel will stay in the room later, and let Perry serve us coffee."
!”
As soon as he arrived in the living room, Maxi stood up and said displeasedly: "Tony, I've only left New Orleans for a month, but I didn't expect you to become such a guy that I can't even recognize you!"
Tangning subconsciously touched her face and asked, "How have I changed?"
"I'm not talking about looks, I'm talking about how capable you have become. Not only did you steal the show in fighting Yankee thieves, but you also brought back the most fashionable carbon filament light bulbs in New Orleans!" Maxi explained.
Tangning said casually, "Isn't it because I went to New York some time ago?"
While the two were chatting, the slave girl Perry walked in with two cups of coffee. When she put the coffee in front of Maxi's table, Maxi suddenly exclaimed: "Oh my God! Tony, can't you?"
Has your perspective on choosing women changed? You didn’t even touch such a beautiful beauty? On the contrary, the tall and thin slave girl who greeted me just now seems to have been nourished by you!"
Tangning couldn't help but admire this pervert's eye for women, so she nodded and replied, "Well, I prefer women with long legs now, and I don't like people with big butts like Perry!"
"Then how about you give her to me? You haven't touched it anyway. When I go back, I'll see if there's anything tall, thin and long like you mentioned at home for you?" Maxi said with a smile on her face.
Tang Ning was already prepared for this, and he also heard Caroline tell him that it was quite embarrassing for Perry to stay at his place. Tang Ning bought three of them at once, and ended up sleeping with Caroline and Isabel every day.
, never touched her.
So instead of letting her be so embarrassed here, it's better to let her go to Maxi's place. Anyway, Maxi is a lecherous guy, but he has always been good to women, so he nodded and agreed. Anyway, this kind of thing is very common among slave owners in New Orleans.
It's a very common thing in circles.
Seeing Tangning agree, Maxi was very happy. She patted her chest and promised, "Tony, don't worry, even if I can't find the one you like in the manor, when I come back from London, I promise to bring you two back.
There are plenty of women with tall legs and long legs!”
"Are you going to London?" Tangning asked curiously.
Maxi nodded and replied: "Well, the old man asked me to go to London to marry a woman!"
"Why do you have to go all the way to London to find someone to marry?" Tangning asked in confusion.
Maxi explained: "What else could it be because? It is said that that woman is the daughter of some count. You also know that what those old guys value most besides money is these noble names!"
Then he added: "But he didn't want to think about why the earl was willing to marry his daughter to a Yankee he despised. It wasn't because he had no money! So what's the use of a title? Only if you have money
It’s the truth!”
Hearing what Maxi said, Tangning immediately understood what was going on. Indeed, in recent years and even before World War I, it was very popular in the United States to go to old countries such as Britain and France to find children of declining aristocrats to marry. These are the reasons.
The nouveau riche want to upgrade their class and squeeze into the upper class. For example, the prototype of "Downton Abbey", Consuelo Vanderbilt, known as the "American Princess", married the Duke of Marbury of the British royal family. Another example is
Carl and Ruth also have this kind of relationship in "Titanic".
Just when Tangning's mind was filled with random thoughts, Maxi came over again and asked, "Tony, I heard that you were in love with that little beauty from Georgia?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? We just met!" Tang Ning defended.
"You just got to know each other and you're taking them on a tour of New Orleans?" Maxi joked.
Not long after Maxi left, another man came to send a woman to Tangning. This made Tangning have the urge to look at the almanac to see if today was related to women...
This person was none other than Sheffield, the slave trader Tang Ning dealt with in Chapter 1. He smiled and said to Tang Ning: "Mr. Tang Ning, I have sent you another woman!"
Tangning was a little surprised and said, "I remember the last time we met was less than two months ago. You actually came back from Africa so soon?"
Sheffield waved his hand and said: "How can it be so fast? In fact, I haven't been to Africa recently!"
"Then where did you get the woman?" Tangning asked curiously.
Sheffield explained: "That's right, Mr. Downing, because my waist was injured during the last voyage, so I have been recovering from the injury in the past few months and have not gone to Africa."
Then he continued: "It just happened that when I was drinking with an old boat guy a few days ago, I learned that he had two newly acquired women. I took a look and found that they might be in line with your preferences, Mr. Tangning, so I
I bought it from him, why don't you take a look?"
Tang Ning suddenly realized: "Oh, that's right. Then you have your heart. Okay, bring it over and let me have a look!"
Originally, Tangning thought Sheffield was bringing female black slaves, but she never expected that what she brought was two young girls with yellow skin, black hair, and dark eyes. This made him couldn't help but exclaim: "Chinese?
"
Sheffield waved his hands repeatedly and said: "They are not Chinese, they are Japanese!"
After hearing this answer, Tangning was stunned for a moment and then realized that this was right, because in 1853, the United States opened the door to Japan and forced Japan to sign the "Japan-US Goodwill Treaty" (also called the "Treaty of Kanagawa"), so the United States
It is not surprising that slave traders were able to obtain Japanese women.
It's just that these two Japanese girls don't look like Japanese at all, especially their height. They are almost catching up with me. Not to mention Japanese women, it is estimated that very few Japanese men at this time are so tall...

PS: I came across a book called "Don't Call Me Little Brother, Call Me Plaintiff" while browsing the list today. I felt very uncomfortable when I saw this book. Don't get me wrong, it's not that this book is not well written, but that I have written it before.
A similar book called "Justice Heroes" failed to pass the review. Why? Why...
