"Tony, I heard you spent the night at Murphy Manor last night?" When Tangning was having afternoon tea, Maxi suddenly came over and asked.
"Who did you listen to?" Tangning asked.
"Did I even need to hear about it? This matter has been spread all over New Orleans now! Tony, I really didn't expect that Mrs. Murphy, whom so many people were watching, was actually obtained by you. How was it last night?
How does it taste?" Maxi asked with saliva on her face.
"Go, go, go, stop asking!" Tangning waved her hands impatiently, because he had already realized that this matter must have been spread intentionally by Nicole, otherwise it would not have spread so quickly and so widely.
Maxi was stunned at first, but then she realized: "Yes, yes, yes, now that she is your woman, I really shouldn't ask!"
Then he changed the topic and said: "Actually, the main purpose of my coming today is to say goodbye to you. I will take a boat to London tomorrow!"
"Are you so anxious to marry your countess?" Tangning joked.
Maxi explained: "It's not me who is anxious, but London who is anxious. They just sent a telegram to my family yesterday, and it happened to be a boat tomorrow, so my father urged me to go there, because the next boat will be half a month away!"
"
"Okay, then I'll see you off tomorrow!" Tangning hesitated for a moment and then said.
Unexpectedly, Maxi waved her hand and said: "No, once I look at the theater ticket for "Hamlet" on your table, I know that you must have agreed to go to the theater with Mrs. Murphy tomorrow, so you'd better go and watch it with the beauty.
Let’s play, there’s no need to send me away!”
I have to say that although Maxi is a bit lecherous, he is still good to his friends, so Tangning patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, then I will pick you up when you come back!"
Before leaving, Maxi reminded again: "By the way, Tony, you have to be careful about those guys who have been pursuing Mrs. Murphy recently, especially that Raymond-Christo. I heard that he was because of this incident."
He is extremely annoyed, and you also know his temper, so be careful about retaliating against you because of this!"
"Don't worry, I'll pay attention!" Tang Ning nodded in agreement.
Before traveling through time, Tang Ning thought that the upper class in Europe and America would be very gentlemanly when enjoying operas, plays, and ballets, sitting upright and unsmiling. However, after watching "The Silver King" on Broadway last time and watching "Hamlet" with Mrs. Murphy this time, she
Only then did Tang Ning realize that people all over the world are similar. They watch this thing just like we watch Peking Opera in the Republic of China. Who can sit upright and watch your performance all the time?
In fact, this is a large social place. Everyone chats, drinks tea, and listens to the show. The actors on the stage are like background music, which enhances the atmosphere.
A more popular metaphor is that even if you play mahjong on New Year’s Eve, you still have to turn on the TV to show the Spring Festival Gala. Whether you watch it or not is one thing, at least it has to be broadcast with such an atmosphere.
Of course, when Zhao Benshan comes out, everyone will put down the card game and watch the skit. The same is true here. When the classic line "TO BE OR NOT TO BE" comes out, everyone will also stop chatting, watch for a while, and then applaud
...
The purpose of Tangning and Nicole's visit today is not to watch a show, but to deepen everyone's "misunderstanding" about their relationship. It is basically the "official announcement" of this era...
On the way back, Tangning suddenly thought of Maxi's reminder, so she asked Nicole, "Nicole, was that guy Raymond chasing you particularly fiercely before?"
Nicole glanced at him sideways: "What? Are you afraid that he will retaliate against you because of this?"
Tangning gave an answer that all men would say in this situation: "Are you kidding me? How could I be afraid of him? I just want to confirm, lest he suddenly targets me one day and I don't know the reason yet!"
Nicole nodded and replied: "Yes, he is indeed the craziest one, otherwise I wouldn't have to ask Tony for help, and it's not just him, but also Greg Rayner, Daniel Stevens
And Woody - Verica, so Tony, you are in quite a lot of trouble this time!"
"I'm not afraid of trouble, but there's no reward for being in trouble..."
Before Tang Ning could finish speaking, Nicole suddenly came over, kissed him on the lips, and then asked, "Is this reward enough?"
Tangning was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said, "How can this be possible!" Then she pulled Nicole into her arms.
Then the coachman Gary said softly to the horse outside: "Old man, run slower, the inside of the carriage is very bumpy now..."
At the same time, Raymond, whom Tangning mentioned just now, was asking the butler: "Tony, that little guy Tangning not only spent the night at Murphy Manor the night before yesterday, but also went to the theater with Mrs. Murphy today."
Already?"
The butler nodded and replied: "Yes, master!"
"How could Nicole fall in love with a little guy like Tony? This is not normal! Will she use him to deceive everyone?" Raymond murmured to himself.
"Master, I think Mrs. Murphy may have stayed with Mr. Downing because she thought he would never embezzle her family property. Because he is very close to Mr. Frick's relative, Miss Howard from Georgia, so...
..." the steward guessed.
Raymond nodded and replied: "Well, what you said makes sense, that's why Nicole chose this little guy Tony, and only this kind of little guy can be coaxed by her into acting with her."
It's a pity that Raymond only guessed the first half, and the subsequent plot direction completely deviated from his deduction, because when she heard Gary shouting "Master, Murphy Manor is here!" Nicole, who was stopped from ravaging her, was sorting things out.
While wearing clothes, he angrily said to Tangning, "It seems I made a miscalculation. You are no different from other men!"
Tangning also replied while adjusting her clothes: "It's not my fault. You took the initiative just now. If I don't show any sign, are you still a man?"
"Does this prove that you are a man?" Nicole asked.
Tangning thought for a moment and then replied: "Well, to be honest, it's not completely proven. You should also know that I haven't fully exerted myself yet!"
Tangning originally thought that Nicole would give her an angry look and get out of the car. Unexpectedly, after she arranged her clothes, she suddenly said softly: "How about giving you a chance to prove yourself tonight?"
PS: I’ve noticed that there are a lot of early American novels written recently. Not counting mine, the recommended ones include "Rebirth of the American Gold Rush", "Wild North America 1846" and "Starting Game: American Tycoon", but my favorite is
