"Why can't it be done? Isn't it just a few female slaves?" Scarlett asked in confusion.
Tang Ning thought to herself, indeed at first glance, this was just a matter of a few female slaves, and it was nothing to these manor owners. It was even normal for them to give away female slaves casually, but she had not received this kind of education since she was a child.
Therefore, he would not be able to give away slave girls like Isabel and especially Caroline who had given birth to his children.
And in fact, his relationship with Scarlett is not that deep. After all, they haven't been together for a long time. The reason why he is willing to marry her is that the little girl is really lovable, and secondly, and most importantly, Tangning
I feel that a girl like her who grew up in a southern manor should be able to accept her husband having a female slave, which is something that girls from other places certainly cannot do.
In fact, to be honest, after time travel, the marriage partner that I am relatively satisfied with is not Scarlett, but Nicole. But Nicole has made it clear that she will never get married, so she can only choose Scarlett.
Li, but I didn’t expect Scarlett to be different from the eldest lady of a southern manor I imagined, which made it difficult.
So Tangning frowned and asked, "Scarlett, why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
"Because I think this is a small thing, and it's too late to say it now. Tony, you can write such a wonderful love novel as "Gone with the Wind", so how can you not be able to do this little thing?" Scarlett explained.
After hearing this explanation, Tangning asked in her mind, is there any logical relationship between this? Besides, I didn't write "Gone with the Wind" either.
After thinking for a moment, Tangning asked in a deep voice, "Scarlett, what will happen if I can't agree to this?"
"Then I think we should not get married for the time being, because I will never give in on this matter!" Scarlett replied without hesitation.
"Why are you so insistent on this matter? Even Danina from England didn't tell Paul not to have contact with slave girls in the future. How could you, a girl who grew up in Georgia..."
Before Tangning could finish her words, Scarlett interrupted: "Why do girls who grow up in Georgia have to accept this kind of thing?"
In fact, Tangning also knew that what Scarlett said was right. Fidelity to each other was the most basic requirement of marriage, so she was the one who was wrong. However, she didn't want to change it, because besides the slave girl, she also had Nicole as her lover, and maybe in the future.
There will be other lovers, so it seems that he is indeed not worthy of Scarlett.
So Tangning could only sigh and said, "Scarlett, you are right, but unfortunately our ideas are not the same, so I think it is best for us not to get married for the time being."
Scarlett was immediately shocked when she heard Tangning say this: "Tony, are you serious?"
Tangning nodded and replied, "Of course I'm serious. I think maybe we didn't know each other well enough before, so it's better not to get married hastily!"
Looking at Tangning's leaving figure, Scarlett couldn't help but feel a little regretful, but when she thought about impure love and marriage, she really couldn't accept it, so she could only lament this relationship.
After returning to New Orleans, Tangning first sent someone to notify all the friends who had planned to come to watch the ceremony, and then locked himself in the manor and did not go out again. He was not that sad, but he felt that this was the only way to do it at this time.
In line with the identity...
During this period, Maxi and other friends naturally came over to visit and comfort them. Even Nicole came all the way back from Brazil. When she learned the reason for their breakup, Nicole couldn't help but be a little shocked: "I didn't expect Scarlett's thoughts to be so pure.
, but to be honest, it’s okay, otherwise if you really get married, Scarlett will definitely be very unhappy!”
"No, you should be comforting me right now. Why do you feel like you are speaking for Scarlett?" Tangning said displeased.
Nicole replied disapprovingly: "Because it was you who was wrong in this matter. Although it is true that whether in Louisiana or Georgia, it is normal for manor owners to have female slaves, it does not mean that this is right.
Not to mention that you not only have a female slave, but also a lover! Do you think you are worthy of Scarlett?"
Just when Tangning was about to refute, the butler suddenly came in and reported, "Master, Miss Clark is waiting for you in the reception room!"
The housekeeper nodded and replied: "That's right, it's Heidi - Miss Clark!"
This time, before Tangning could speak, Nicole couldn't help but exclaimed, "Tony, why did Heidi Clark come to find you?"
In fact, it's no wonder that Nicole is so surprised, because this Miss Heidi Clark is very famous throughout New Orleans, and she is famous for a very special reason, that is, she is very cold, although she is beautiful and talented.
, her family is also a veteran manor owner, but she almost never attends any drinking parties or dances, and she doesn't even show any pretense to the well-matched boys who take the initiative to pursue her. In short, she is a well-known cold beauty in the circle.
In fact, not to mention Scarlett, even Tangning himself was very surprised, so he shrugged and said, "I don't know. In my memory, I have almost never spoken to her."
But no matter what, since everyone was here, she couldn't just see them all, so Tang Ning came to the living room and saw the cold and charming Heidi greeting Tang Ning with a rare smile: "Mr. Tang Ning, I'm sorry, come here
It was very sudden, I don’t know if it disturbed you or not!”
Tangning waved her hand and said, "It's okay, Miss Clark, do you have anything to do with me?"
"Mr. Tangning, I really like your novel "Gone with the Wind", so I have some questions about this novel. Can I ask you?" Heidi asked.
When she heard that it was related to the novel, Tangning breathed a sigh of relief and casually replied, "Of course!"
"Mr. Tangning, I know that from the perspective of literary creation, you handled the ending of "Gone with the Wind" very well, but from a reader's perspective, I always feel that it is not perfect, so I would like to ask, do you still plan to write the second chapter?
Part two?"
PS: In fact, when I wrote about the marriage of two people in the last chapter, I felt very awkward. Firstly, there were not many plots about the relationship between the two, and the sudden marriage was a bit too abrupt. Secondly, I felt that under the background of the times, it should be
There should be girls who hold this view, including those among capitalists who support slavery, and those among slave owners who oppose slavery, so we simply use Scarlett to express it. In addition, don’t worry, the protagonist will also use Scarlett in the later stage.
She would take it back, but she would have to wait until her thoughts changed.
