"Happy birthday, Isa!" Caroline congratulated and handed Isabel a delicate box.
"Thank you, dear!" Isabel thanked her, and then opened the box casually, but was stunned immediately because there was a pearl necklace in the box that was worth a lot at first glance.
So Isabel quickly refused: "Caroline, isn't this your favorite pearl necklace? I can't accept it!"
But Caroline insisted: "Just keep it, Isa. Actually, I have one more thing I want to ask you for help with!"
"What's going on?" Isabel asked curiously.
Caroline looked around, then whispered: "When you stay with the master again, help me beg the master to let me and little Mike go to Brazil!"
After hearing Caroline's request, Isabel thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Caroline, it's not that I won't help, but that the master won't listen to me even if I say something like this!"
In fact, Caroline knew this was the case, but she really had no choice now, because as she grew older, little Mike's position in the manor became more and more embarrassing.
Just when Caroline was struggling, Isabel unexpectedly changed the topic and said: "But I do have a way, which will most likely enable you to achieve your goal!"
Hearing what Isabel said, Caroline's eyes suddenly lit up and she quickly asked: "What can I do?"
But after Isabel whispered a few words into her ear, Caroline frowned and asked: "Isabel, is this okay?"
"This is the best way I can come up with!" Isabel said, spreading her hands.
"Okay, then I'll give it a try!" Caroline replied helplessly.
So two days later, Caroline found an opportunity and said to Tangning, "Master, can I ask you something?"
"What's going on?" Tangning asked casually.
Caroline hesitated for a moment, then plucked up the courage to answer: "Can you please stop asking Miss Joanna to teach little Mike the piano!"
"Huh? Why? Joanna's teachings were not good?" Tangning asked with a frown.
Caroline quickly shook her head and replied: "Of course not, Miss Joanna taught her very well, but, but"
"Just tell me what's going on!" Tang Ning urged impatiently.
I saw Caroline replying nonchalantly: "The master is like this. Last night, little Mike told me that he wanted to marry Miss Joanna when he grows up."
Before Caroline could finish her words, Tangning interrupted: "What? You said little Mike wants to marry Joanna?"
"Master, please don't get angry. In fact, little Michael is still a child now, but at his current age, when he has just learned a little about men and women, he spends all day with Miss Joanna." (Caroline is Michael, born in 1859, now
This is 1871, so it’s reasonable for a 12-year-old boy to have such thoughts.)
Tangning interrupted Caroline again and said in a deep voice: "I understand, let's do this. You should take little Mike to Brazil in a few days. It's not a long-term solution to always bother Nicole to help take care of him!"
Hearing what Tang Ning said, Caroline immediately replied happily: "I know, Master!"
But at this time, Tangning said coldly: "But this time, things like Holly's last time can't happen again. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand, don't worry, Master, I will take good care of everyone in Brazil, and there will never be anything that dissatisfies you, Master!" Caroline promised repeatedly.
The next day, Caroline found a time when Tangning was not around and gave the pearl necklace to Isabel again. At the same time, she praised: "Isa, you understand the master. You really helped me a lot this time!"
Because she deserved it this time, Isabel accepted it without any refusal, but then she sighed and said: "Hey, Caroline, I really envy you. From now on, the manor in Brazil will belong to you and little Michael, and I don't have it yet."
You know what will happen in the future!"
"Isa, you are not 30 years old yet, but you still have a chance to be pregnant with the master's child, and the master loves you so much, so don't worry, everything will be fine!" Caroline comforted. (The two girls are 15 years old.
It has been 12 years since I was sold, so I am not yet 30 years old.)
But Isabel still lamented pessimistically: "I am not 30 years old, but the master has already arrived. Haven't you noticed that the master doesn't like women as much as he did when he was young? He used to be at least once a day, but now he is only two or three times a week. I don't know.
How long do I have to wait!"
Because Isabel was telling the truth, Caroline didn't know how to persuade her. While the two women were chatting, Joanna was also bidding farewell to Tangning: "Mr. Tangning, since little Mike is going to Brazil, then I will also go to Brazil."
time to go!"
Tang Ning was not surprised by this, because it was because of little Michael that he invited her back from New York. However, after nodding in agreement, Tang Ning still asked curiously: "Where do you plan to go in the future?"
"To be honest, I haven't thought about it. I should go around and look around. Maybe I will go to China, or maybe after walking around I find that there is no place that can keep me, and I will come back then.
I wonder if you would take me in, Mr. Tangning?" Joanna asked with a smile.
Tangning naturally replied without hesitation: "Of course you are welcome, the door of Downing Manor is always open to you!"
A few days later, when seeing Joanna off, Tangning stood there for a long time as she watched her leave. Heidi on the side saw this and joked, "What? You can't bear to see Joanna go?"
Tangning shook her head and replied, "That's not true. I just feel a little strange. Why can't I hate Joanna at all even though I know she is a murderer?"
"It means you like her!" Heidi guessed.
Tangning shook her head again and replied, "No, if I liked her, I would have pursued her long ago."
"That means you are actually very interested in this kind of dangerous woman. Joanna is the same, and so is Bai. In fact, I can tell that you don't particularly hold a grudge against Bai, right?" Heidi stared at Tangning and asked.
road.
Tangning thought for a while, then sighed: "I don't know!"
Then he changed the subject and said: "I plan to go to New York in a few days to see the business and Morgan and the others!"
PS: I think "The Rebirth of the Great Scientist" really made my eyes shine because it was the first time I saw someone writing in the Republic of China like this. Even the literary giants of the Republic of China who later saw Lao Wang were not so shocked, but this
Why doesn't the "The Most Powerful University in History" feel like it was written by He Shigong?
