On this day, Maxi suddenly came to Tangning's house with a very capable-looking black slave. This surprised Tangning because Maxi usually never takes black slaves out with him. Why did he suddenly change his temper today?
Perhaps sensing Tangning's doubts, Maxi took the initiative and said, "Tony, do you still remember when I took Perry away from you last time, I said I would bring you two beauties from London as compensation?
"
"Of course I remember, I thought you forgot!" Tang Ning teased.
Maxi pretended to be unhappy and replied: "How could I forget what I promised you?"
But then the conversation changed and he said: "But to my surprise, there is no place to buy female slaves in London, so I plan to compensate you Rex!" As he said that, Maxi patted the shoulder of the black slave next to him.
.
"I'm not interested in men!" Tangning shrugged.
"Who said you are interested in men? Rex is the most powerful boxer I have bought recently. Isn't the underground arena about to open soon? Now the price of a boxer like Rex is higher than that of a mixed-race female slave.
It’s more, so you won’t suffer any loss!” Maxi explained.
The "underground arena" that Maxi refers to is a "sport" that many slave owners like, or simply gambling. The rules and functions are similar to the arena in ancient Rome. It can be seen that this kind of bloody and exciting
Things have always been liked by rich people since ancient times.
And what is more beyond everyone’s imagination is that black slaves also like to be gladiators. Although being a gladiator is life-threatening, their daily living conditions are very good and they don’t have to work. After all, they can earn a lot of money for their masters after winning a victory.
It was a small amount of money, and many of the black slaves who were gladiators were themselves warriors in the tribe before they came here. For them, the gladiatorial field was also a battlefield, and this was where they should appear.
To be honest, Tangning wasn't too interested in this kind of thing, but since Maxi had already sent it, she couldn't refuse it, otherwise it would seem like she wasn't satisfied with her friend's "return gift", so she nodded and accepted it.
Then curiously asked: "By the way, can Danina accept the female black slaves you raise?"
Maxi shook her head and replied: "She can't accept it, but she hinted to me that as long as I keep these female slaves in other places so that she can't see them, then she can pretend not to know!"
"If you put it that way, Perry should be doing pretty well now!" Tangning said casually.
But Maxi unexpectedly said to him: "I don't know how Perry is doing now, because I gave her to Custer before going to London!"
Although Tangning was speechless for this answer, she also knew that this was a normal thing among slave owners. Just like when he gave Perry to Maxi, Maxi could naturally give Perry to others.
....
After sending Maxi away, Tangning planned to go see Nicole, but on the way he was surprised to see Morgan, and it was obvious that he came from Jonathan's manor.
Morgan was also a little embarrassed about this, so he reluctantly greeted him: "Hey, Tony, what a coincidence!"
"Yes, what a coincidence. John, why didn't you send me a telegram in advance when you came to New Orleans so that I could pick you up?" Tangning complained.
Morgan explained: "Jonathan had something urgent to do with me, so I came to him as soon as I arrived. I originally wanted to find you tonight, but I didn't expect to meet you here!"
Then he changed the subject and asked: "Tony, are you going out to do something?"
Tangning could tell that Morgan was embarrassed at the moment and wanted to end the conversation, so she echoed, "Well, I want to go to Murphy Manor!"
Morgan took advantage of the situation and said: "That's just right. I'm going to see if I can buy cheap coffee like last time. Let's see you tonight!"
Tangning knew that what Morgan said last time was that his first pot of gold came from the cheap Brazilian coffee he bought in New Orleans, but he also knew that Morgan was an excuse, so he agreed to what he said.
Looking at Morgan's somewhat embarrassed back, Tangning complained in her heart, "I can't tell you, Morgan, also like this tone. It seems that Jonathan's manor has been very successful, attracting many wealthy people from the north. (Jonathan's Manor
I really dare not write it in detail, otherwise I will definitely be blocked, but it does exist in reality, even a few years ago...)
But this time Tangning really wanted to go to Nicole and have something serious to discuss. As soon as they met, he asked Nicole with a serious face: "Nicole, are you really going to Brazil to open a manor?"
Nicole nodded and replied: "Yes, since you told me that there will be a war between the north and the south sooner or later, I have investigated for a long time and feel that what you said is very reasonable, so I plan to leave myself some time like you did.
It was a retreat, but I still liked this kind of plantation life, so I chose Brazil as my retreat.
Of course, this does not mean that I will give up New Orleans and just open another plantation in Brazil. If there is a war, I will go to Brazil; if it does not happen, I will just open another plantation. Anyway, now I want to
There is no room left in New Orleans to open an estate."
Hearing what Nicole said, Tangning immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "So that's it, I thought you were going to Brazil now and I would never see you again!"
Nicole said unappreciatively: "After you and Scarlett get married, I guess you won't always come to see me even if I don't leave!"
"Don't worry, I don't think Scarlett is that kind of stingy woman!" Tangning comforted her.
"I believe she would be very generous to your female slaves, but not necessarily to me!" Nicole retorted.
Although Tang Ning admitted in her heart that Nicole was right, she still argued on the surface: "As long as she knows that you don't want to marry me, she won't be worried!"
Then he changed the topic and said: "By the way, who are you going to send to the plantation in Brazil? After all, you can't stay there permanently!"
"Captain Supervisor Jody, I will personally go over and take charge during the picking!" At this point, Nicole came over, kissed Tangning, and then said softly: "As for this, I'll leave it to you!"
"Then I have to be responsible for picking at five estates at the same time?" Tangning said with a frown.
"What, do you think it's hard? How about I pay you now?" After saying that, Nicole stretched out her hand and grabbed Tangning's tie, and gently brought them to the bed...
PS: I have been really busy these days. Not only am I facing an audit by the Discipline Inspection Commission at work, but I also have a lot of things to do at home, so I have been updating once for the past two days, and I will try to resume two updates starting tomorrow.
