"Tony, I heard that you met Scarlett in London?" Nicole suddenly asked softly.
Tangning was stunned for a moment, but then she came to her senses and asked, "Who did you listen to?"
Nicole waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about this! Just tell me if you met her?"
Tangning shook her head and replied, "No, actually I met her sister Kelly, but Kelly told me that Scarlett wanted to see me, but I didn't agree!"
"Why don't you see her?" Nicole asked in confusion.
"Because" Tangning was about to answer when suddenly the maid knocked on the door and came in, reporting to Nicole: "Master, Mr. Barnett is here!"
When she heard the name, Nicole frowned. Just when Tangning was about to ask, Nicole seemed to suddenly think of something, so she stood up with a smile and said to Tangning, "Come on, come with me to meet a friend!"
As he spoke, he pulled Tang Ning up, held his arm very affectionately, and walked towards the reception room. As soon as he entered the reception room, he saw a tall and handsome man standing up and greeting Nicole warmly: "
Nicole”
But before she finished speaking, she saw Tangning on Nicole's arm. Just as she was about to ask, Nicole took the initiative to introduce: "Mr. Barnett, this is Tony, my best friend in New Orleans - Tangning.
Sir, both Gone with the Wind and the bicycle are his works."
Then he turned to Tangning and said, "Tony, this is Jeremy - Mr. Barnett, my neighbor, he is a very good man!"
Barnett was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and greeted Tangning with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Tangning, I'm glad to have the opportunity to meet you. I like your work "Gone with the Wind" very much, but I
I prefer "Downing Heights" written by your wife."
Tangning also reacted at this time. It seemed that Mr. Barnett was interested in Nicole, but this was normal. After all, most men would think twice about such a beautiful and wealthy single neighbor.
Nicole was obviously using herself as a shield. Of course, this was what she had to do. In addition, Barnett reacted quickly. After learning about Nicole's intentions, he immediately used the fact that he was married.
Click to counterattack.
He is indeed a good opponent, but unfortunately, it seems that he doesn't know Nicole well enough. He doesn't know that she actually doesn't want to get married at all, otherwise he might marry her.
So he smiled and replied: "Thank you for your support. I will stay with Nicole during this period. Mr. Barnett is welcome to come over and discuss it at any time!"
After chatting for a few more words, Barnett realized that he had not taken advantage, so he changed the topic and asked Nicole: "Nicole, is Luo Kai at the manor now? I want to rent him for a few days!"
Nicole replied without hesitation: "Of course!"
After Barnett left, Tangning teased: "Nicole, should you introduce Mr. Barnett to me in detail?"
Nicole replied disapprovingly: "How much detail do you need? Didn't you understand just now? And isn't it normal for men to chase me? Especially when they don't know you!"
Tangning thought for a moment, then shrugged and said, "It's indeed normal. It seems that I really need to stay here for a while to declare my sovereignty!"
"I hope you can stay longer, but can Heidi agree?" Nicole raised her eyebrows and asked.
"Heidi is very generous. As long as I can go home every night, it doesn't matter which room I sleep in." Tangning replied proudly.
But then he changed the subject and said: "By the way, it seems that Luo Kai is really popular!"
Nicole nodded and replied: "Of course, there are many manor owners who come to rent Luo Kai. But Barnett's situation is very special, because he is actually the original owner of Luo Kai!"
"Ah, it turns out that he is Luo Kai's original owner. Let me tell you, how could anyone be willing to sell such a good breeding black slave!" Tangning suddenly realized.
"So you have to be aware of the danger and stay with me more, otherwise I might be taken to bed by another man someday. Do you understand?" Nicole raised Tangning's chin and said provocatively.
Of course, this was because Tangning was sitting on the sofa at this time. Otherwise, even if Nicole was 1.7 meters tall, she would not be able to do such an action. Faced with Nicole's provocation, Tangning pulled her into her arms.
, and then launched a counterattack.
After some passion, Tangning asked Nicole in Sage Time: "Dear, is it really easy to build a manor in Brazil now?"
"Of course, why, you changed your mind and plan to build a manor here?" Nicole asked in surprise.
Tangning shook her head and replied, "I asked for Brian. I thought he would be interested in this matter, because the last time I met him, he said he was bored to death."
When she heard that Tangning asked for Brian, Nicole was very disappointed: "Brian? Don't the Clarks like to open factories?"
Tangning explained: "The Clark family is indeed the manor owner who likes to open factories, but first of all they are still the manor owner, and judging from the current situation, the probability of them returning to New Orleans to open a factory is very low, so they might as well come to Brazil.
We’re building a manor to grow cotton!”
Although Tang Ning was well-intentioned, Brian responded by telegraphing that he did not want to go to Brazil to build a manor for the time being because he was not as familiar with New Orleans after all, so he still wanted to wait and see how the battle unfolded. If the Confederate Army won, then everything would be natural.
Everything has been restored to its original state; even if the Northern Army wins, they will not seize the manor and land, so they still want to return to their hometown of New Orleans for development.
Tangning was helpless about this. After all, you couldn't tell them that after the defeat, New Orleans would be under military control by the Northern Army. You could not do whatever you wanted! This situation would not get better until 1971.
But it is really inconvenient to say this at this time, and no one would believe it even if he said it, because in fact, he has already mentioned it implicitly in "Gone with the Wind", but isn't it still useless?
PS: I was shocked to hear that Mr. Ni Kuang passed away. Although I don’t agree with his political views at all, his "Wesley Series" and "Yuan Zhenxia Series" were indeed my favorite works in high school. At that time, I really felt that my imagination was very big.
(such as "Hair", "Toy"), particularly scary (such as "Mansion", "Original Shape"), very attractive (such as "Dream", "Map"), of course, now it seems that what he wrote actually counts
It’s not science fiction, not even soft science fiction, but it’s really an unforgettable memory of youth and one of the inspirations for writing.
