"Tony, actually I came here today for one more thing, that is, I have a friend who wants to ask you for a favor." Morgan said seriously.
Tangning replied without hesitation: "No problem, your friend is my friend, but can I ask what the matter is?"
Morgan looked unnatural as he replied: "Let's wait until he comes to tell you tomorrow. But don't worry, as long as you help him with this favor, he will definitely give you a very generous reward."
The more Morgan didn't say anything, the more curious Tangning became, because he felt that Morgan must know about this matter, but why didn't he tell him? And he also deliberately stated that he would be paid generously. It seemed that this matter was not
Small!
On the second day, Morgan introduced to Tangning a skinny guy who looked like he was overdrinking: "Tony, this is the friend Jonathan I told you about yesterday. Jonathan - Monk, okay, let's talk.
, I have something to do and I’ll leave first!” After saying that, Morgan left in a hurry.
"Mr. Monk, how can I help you?" Tangning asked straight to the point.
Jonathan was obviously not in a hurry, waving his hands and saying: "We are all friends, Tony, just call me Jonathan!"
"Okay, Jonathan!" Tangning replied casually.
"Tony, I heard from John that you not only have female black slaves in your family, but you also have Japanese female slaves?" Jonathan asked.
Although she didn't know why Jonathan asked this, Tangning still nodded and replied, "That's right!"
"Also, I heard that you ordered Brazilian female slaves from slave traders?" Jonathan asked again.
Hearing the questions that Jonathan kept asking the slave girl, Tangning had a hunch in her heart, so she continued to nod her head and said, "That's right, but she hasn't been sent to me yet!"
"Can those slave traders get Russian female slaves?" Jonathan asked again.
Tangning shook her head and replied, "I don't know about this. I have to go back and ask him!"
At this time, Jonathan sighed and said: "Tony, to be honest, I really envy you. In the South, you can keep female slaves freely, unlike in New York, where you have to be secretive even if you find a lover!"
Then he finally got to the point: "Tony, let me tell you the truth, I actually want to build a manor in New Orleans and buy female slaves from various countries like you, and enjoy it!
But I am a northerner after all, and there will definitely be a lot of inconveniences in the south. Moreover, I cannot stay in the south for a long time. I can only go there when I am on vacation. Besides, I don’t know those slave traders. So I hope
Tony, can you help me buy a manor in New Orleans and introduce me to the slave traders?"
Jonathan's explanation confirmed Tang Ning's suspicion. No wonder he kept asking the female slaves. He must have thoughts in this regard, but this is normal. Don't look at those northern capitalists who are opposed to slavery. They consider it from the perspective of making money;
From the perspective of enjoyment, they must also support slavery, especially female slaves. After all, we are all men, and no one has some dark thoughts in this regard, especially when they are rich, such thoughts will be amplified.
But Tangning still asked cautiously: "Just help you find a ready-made manor and introduce slave traders?"
Jonathan thought for a moment, and then replied: "That's roughly it, but most southerners probably won't welcome northerners like me, so there may be some minor troubles in the manor occasionally. I hope you can help Tony then, but I'm sure
I won’t bother you often because I will send my people to be stationed there specifically.”
Tangning understood Jonathan's concerns very well, because the conflict between the north and the south was really great now, and it could be seen from nicknames such as "Gee Yang", so she nodded and agreed, but at this time he did not
I know that Jonathan's manor will be so perverted...
Seeing Tangning nodding, Jonathan was very excited: "Tony, thank you so much. Don't worry, your lighting business will be taken care of by me. I will bring you at least twenty customers. By the way, when will you return to New Orleans?"
I will go with you!"
Tangning thought for a moment, and then replied: "Well, I have to go to Atlanta and Richmond first, and then I can go back to New Orleans. But I will go back in a month at the latest, and I will send a telegram to the housekeeper now.
I’ll find a suitable manor for you and let you know when I get to New Orleans!”
Tangning admitted that she went to Richmond just to see if this Miss Catherine looked exactly like Nicole Kidman, or if it was really Nicole Kidman who had traveled through time.
Although Tangning knew Catherine's name, he couldn't just visit her rashly. Fortunately, he was well prepared for it. First, he used Carter's handwritten letter to find an old friend of his in Richmond.
Because when she was in New York, Tangning had already sent a telegram in his name to his old friend Claude Wahlberg with Carter's authorization, so when Tangning came to the door with Carter's autographed letter, she was
received a warm reception.
"This guy Carter, I told him a long time ago not to be so cruel to the black slaves. Even the cattle and horses you raise cannot be used like that, otherwise how could he be stabbed like this!" Wahlberg sighed with emotion.
After echoing a few words, Tangning cut to the chase, took out the portrait of Nicole Kidman and asked Wahlberg: "Uncle Claude, do you know this girl?"
Wahlberg only took one look and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Isn't this Catherine? Who painted this painting? It's really like it!"
Tangning thought that this was what I painted, but she couldn't admit it on the surface, so she replied vaguely: "I got this from a friend. I heard that Miss Catherine is in Richmond?"
Wahlberg nodded first: "Yes, she is Jeff Heard's youngest daughter, Katherine Heard!" But then the conversation changed and he added: "But you can't see her for the time being.
!”
Hearing what Wahlberg said, Tangning felt nervous and quickly asked, "Why?"
"Because it is said that she went to London and will not be able to come back until half a year!" Wahlberg explained.
After learning this answer, Tangning thought to herself that it seemed that she had no fate with the "Nicole Kidman" of 1858...
So I left Richmond the next day and rushed to Atlanta. Coincidentally, as soon as I left the port, I met Scarlett. But the strange thing was that Scarlett acted as if she didn't recognize him, talking to the female companion next to her.
While joking, he walked past him very naturally...
