"Master, this is the telegram sent to you by Miss Howard!" This morning, the housekeeper came in to report.
Although she hadn't read the contents of the telegram, Tangning already had an ominous premonition. When she opened it, she saw two questions. One was why she hadn't gone to Georgia to find her yet? The other was whether she was with Ni.
Are we together?
"Who is this stupid person who actually told Scarlett about me and Nicole?" Tangning muttered depressedly, but then she thought that Nicole made the matter so big and there were so many people who knew about it.
, so there is no way to investigate who it is.
So he wrote back and said that he was acting at Nicole's request to help her deal with those suitors. Although his relationship with Nicole now goes beyond that, he believed that Nicole would definitely cooperate with him, because this woman would not
She would marry herself, because in that case, the manor she had finally obtained would belong to her. As for now, she would just have an extra relationship as a bed partner or lover, otherwise she would not ask for help from herself.
After answering the telegram, Tangning wrote another letter to Nicole, asking her to cooperate in explaining it to Scarlett, and then ordered the housekeeper to find someone to deliver these two letters. Originally, he should deliver Nicole's letter personally.
In the past, but he was really drained yesterday and had to wait for two days, so he had better stay away from that greedy woman.
Originally, Tang Ning wanted Caroline to make him a cup of coffee and then continue painting the "Double Nicole" oil painting. However, seeing that Caroline was hesitant to speak, he curiously asked, "What's wrong?"
?Is there anything you want to tell me?"
"Master, I, I seem to be pregnant!" Caroline replied with a happy face.
"What?! You, are you pregnant?" Tangning couldn't help but exclaimed.
Caroline nodded and replied: "Yes!" But then she seemed to think of something and asked in a trembling voice: "Master, don't you want this child?"
Tangning replied without hesitation: "What nonsense are you talking about? This is my child, of course I want it!"
Caroline then breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good!"
In fact, Tang Ning understood why Caroline thought so, because some slave owners did not want children born by themselves and female slaves. Naturally, Tang Ning would not have this kind of thinking. What he was thinking about just now was actually another issue, that of black people.
Genes are too powerful. Regardless of whether the black man is a man or a woman, the offspring will basically have strong black characteristics.
Let me give you a typical example that you may not be familiar with, that is, Alexandre Dumas’s father, Dumas Sr., was born to a white father and a female black slave, so he was nicknamed “Nigger”. However, he was not discriminated against in France at the time, and was even
He fought in Egypt with Napoleon and served as commander of an army.
Although Alexandre Dumas was born to the elder Dumas and a white woman, he still has strong black characteristics. If you don’t believe it, look at his photos. It was not until his son Dumas Jr. (the author of "La Traviata") that he regained his white characteristics.
, which shows how powerful black genes are. (Alexander Dumas’s grandfather’s situation was similar to that of Tangning, he was also a white plantation owner and a female slave...)
Although Caroline is of mixed race, which is equivalent to the stage of Alexandre Dumas, her and Tangning's children will probably be at the stage of Alexandre Dumas. Only when he has another child will they be purely white, so this makes Tangning
A little confused, he is not racist, he just doesn't like his child to be black...
But when this child grows up, you can see if he has writing talent. If so, dad has many good ideas to provide you. See if you can also cultivate a "Alexander Dumas". Anyway, your dad and I
It is not suitable to write novels in this era, and your background is destined to prevent you from inheriting the family business.
After getting rid of these random thoughts, Tangning ordered the housekeeper to find two maids to serve Caroline to ensure that her first child would come into this world healthily. At the same time, she also sent someone to urge Sheffield to find her as soon as possible.
Caroline and Isabel's mother were brought here from Africa.
Caroline was very happy about Tang Ning's attention, which also made another slave girl Isabel very envious. She secretly encouraged herself to try to conceive a baby for her master as soon as possible.
Somehow, Nicole actually knew about this. After having a passionate relationship with Tangning, she jealously teased him, "I can't tell, but you quite like that slave girl of yours!"
Tangning nodded and replied: "Of course, although Caroline is just a slave girl, she is still my woman. Although the children she gives birth to cannot inherit the family business, they are still my children after all!"
Then he added: "But don't worry, she is definitely not as important as you in my heart!"
"But I'm definitely not as important as Scarlett, right?" Nicole teased, still jealous.
Tangning was helpless and the general said: "If you are willing to marry me, then I will marry you now!"
Nicole stared at Tangning for a long time, and then said angrily, "You said that because you knew I wouldn't marry you!"
Tangning proudly spread her hands and said, "So it's not my fault, right?"
"Seriously, do you really plan to marry Scarlett?" Nicole changed the subject.
Tangning hesitated for a moment, then said, "To be honest, I'm not sure yet, but she is indeed a good candidate!"
"Why don't you marry a British noblewoman like your good friend Maxi?" Nicole asked curiously.
Tangning thought for a while and then replied: "Because I think girls from southern families are more likely to accept their husbands owning female slaves!"
"Well, it's true. Although the British nobles also have lovers, they may not be able to accept slave girls living together!" Nicole agreed.
"So only southern girls are the most suitable for me!" Tang Ning said, spreading her hands.
"By the way, has Nicole finished the New York painting you painted yesterday?" Nicole suddenly asked again.
"How can oil painting be so fast? It will take more than half a month to finish it!" Tang Ning replied casually.
"Then let me ask you, is this New York Nicole particularly tall?" Nicole asked seriously.
Tangning nodded and replied: "Well, even taller than me!" (Nicole Kidman's official height is 180...)
At this time, Nicole said something that shocked Tangning: "That's right, let me tell you why the face of Nicole from New York looked so familiar when I saw it yesterday. It turns out you painted Catherine of Virginia!"
"You, you are saying that this Catherine looks similar to the girl I drew?"
"There is no resemblance, they are almost exactly the same!"
