On this day, Tangning had just put Scarlett on the train. As soon as she arrived home, the housekeeper reported to him: "Master, Mrs. Murphy sent someone to invite you to have dinner at her home tonight to express her appreciation for your treatment of her last night." Thanks!"
Hearing Mrs. Murphy's invitation, Tangning couldn't help but think of the hasty but exciting touch last night. However, she still had to maintain an image in front of the housekeeper, so she nodded with a straight face and said, "Okay, I understand, let Gary The carriage will be ready when the time comes." (Gary is his family's coachman)
That night, Tangning arrived at Mrs. Murphy's house on time. It was obvious that Mrs. Murphy was very capable of management, because even though Mr. Murphy had passed away, the entire manor was in order. This made Tangning look at her with admiration.
"Mr. Tangning, first of all, I want to thank you for saving me last night. To be honest, I thought I was going to see Jeff soon!" Mrs. Murphy raised her glass and toasted to Tangning. (Jeff is Mr. Murphy. name.)
Although Tang Ning knew that this was the proper intention tonight, she still replied politely: "Madam, you are so polite. This is what I should do!"
"This second cup is to thank Mr. Tangning for bringing light to my home!" Mrs. Murphy pointed to the light bulb above.
At this time, Tangning naturally couldn't say that you gave her money, so there was no need to thank her. It would be a disgrace, so she smiled and replied, "It's my honor!"
Then Mrs. Murphy raised her glass again: "Is this the third glass? I want to ask Mr. Tangning to do me a favor!"
"Oh? What are you busy with?" Tangning asked curiously.
Mrs. Murphy paused, and then said slowly: "Mr. Tangning, you may not know how difficult it is to be a woman, especially a woman who does not have a husband but still owns a fairly small fortune. Almost every day, there are people They are watching you and want to swallow you up together with your property!"
Tangning understood Mrs. Murphy's concerns very well, and he felt that there was another thing she hadn't said, which was her beauty and figure. As long as he captured her, he would have both wealth and wealth!
But he was a little confused, how could he help her? So he asked: "I can understand your situation, madam, but I don't know what I can do to help you?"
"Be my lover!" Mrs. Murphy replied softly.
Although Mrs. Murphy's words were very soft, Tangning couldn't believe her ears and couldn't help but exclaimed: "What?! Madam, you asked me to..."
Before Tang Ning could finish her words, Mrs. Murphy said, "Yes, I would like to ask you, Mr. Tang Ning, to be my lover, because only in this way can I make those guys give up!"
Then he said: "Mr. Tangning, you must be curious as to why I should choose you, right?"
Tangning nodded and said, "Yes, Madam, because you are so beautiful and you are in charge of Murphy Manor, I hope there are many people who can be with you."
Mrs. Murphy once again stole Tangning's words: "Yes, there are indeed many men who want to be my lover, but they are capable and do not take advantage of others' danger. I have only met General Li and Mr. Tangning. It's a pity that Li The general can't stay in New Orleans for long, so he can't help me, so I can only trouble you, Mr. Downing!"
Then she added with a smile: "And with Miss Howard here, I feel even more at ease! Of course, please rest assured, Mr. Tangning, I will take the initiative to explain this matter to Miss Howard when the time comes!"
At this time, Tang Ning completely understood that not taking advantage of others' danger was secondary. The main thing was that she knew that she would not leave Scarlett unmarried and marry a widow like her, so she didn't have to worry about plotting against her property.
, this woman’s calculations are really clear.
After some calculation, Tangning realized that this matter would not do any harm to her, so she nodded and agreed, "Okay, then I will promise you, madam!"
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Murphy shook her slender fingers and said: "Don't call me Madam from now on. Call me Nicole, Tony!"
"Okay, Nicole!" Tangning said calmly.
After chatting for a while, Nicole suddenly asked Tangning: "Tony, I heard that you just came back from New York. Can you tell me what new things are there?"
Tangning replied without hesitation: "Of course." Then, she selected some different places in New York and New Orleans and described them to Nicole.
After listening, Nicole suddenly said something shocking: "Tony, do you think I could move to New York?"
Tangning was stunned when she heard Nicole ask this. She thought to herself, if you want to go to New York, why would you ask me to help you act? Unexpectedly, Nicole chuckled and said, "Tony, don't be so surprised.
, I was just kidding, New York does have good things about New York, but New Orleans also has good things about it, such as the fact that there are legal slaves here!"
After Tang Ning thought about it for a while, he understood what Nicole meant. In fact, it was just like the rich people in India before traveling through time who would rather live in New Delhi than go to New York and Shanghai. Although he knew clearly that New Delhi was lagging behind in terms of municipal construction and development.
But in New Delhi he can legally use servants. It is very common for a rich man to hire more than a dozen servants, and it is very kind to allow his servants to watch TV with him. This kind of enjoyment is not available in New York or Tokyo.
I feel it, so why not stay?
"But what if one day we can no longer legally use slaves?" Tangning asked tentatively.
This time, it was Nicole's turn to be stunned. She thought for a while, and then replied calmly: "This, this is impossible, right?"
"Why is it impossible?" Tangning asked.
"Because if there are no slaves, what will happen to our plantation? I don't think anyone in the entire New Orleans or even the entire Louisiana will agree! Of course, except those slaves, but who will listen to them?" Nicole
Shrugging.
"But what if it's those Yankees?" Tangning asked again.
Nicole snorted coldly: "Them? Why do they care what we New Orleans people do?"
"Under normal circumstances, they really can't control it, but what if they start a war?"
"Those Yankees are going to start a war just because of some niggas? Are they crazy?"
PS: Seeing the data that dropped today, I think I have to explain. It’s not that I didn’t update today. In fact, there are still two normal updates today, but Chapter 17 has been blocked, and I even deleted hundreds of words.
The result was still unresolved, so I simply created a group 741477261 to welcome friends who want to discuss the plot!
