"You stole it," he said. "Even if I want to help you, I'm afraid it's too late now."
He looked over Jiujiu's shoulder, and Jiujiu turned around, only to see Jintang slowly walking towards Jiujiu, looking as carefree as ever.
Jiujiu stood on the pier with this rough man, and he didn't seem surprised at all.
It seems that all this is a normal thing, as if Jiujiu had agreed to meet here.
He nodded cordially to Jiujiu and also nodded lightly to that person.
"That Jintang." He said.
"Then Jintang is waiting for you."
"I heard that you were unloading building materials. Before I went to Carolina on the ancient road, I heard that you loaded two ships of lumber. I also heard that you invited your house to be built well and with beautiful bricks.
Bright pink.”
"What a beautiful name. It's a bit mysterious. This house looks amazing."
Na Jintang didn't say a word. The two people didn't buy each other's opinions, which was obvious from the moment they met. It was obvious that Na Jintang spoke in a careless tone, which was actually a mockery.
Na Jintang seemed to be trying his best to restrain himself, as if he was going to knock Na Jintang to the ground with one punch, and the atmosphere seemed very tense.
Na Jintang turned to Jiujiu very casually.
"Can we go back to the hotel, Jiujiu?"
Before Jiujiu could speak, Najintang said loudly: "How much did you spend to buy it, Najintang?"
"very many."
I’ll double it for you.”
"I'm afraid that Jintang won't be sold."
·"Give me a price," the family member said. "The money for ninety-nine is not worse than the one for the drum bowl, it's better."
I’ll give you cash, whatever the price is.”
"You are so generous and you keep your word. Besides, why do you want a woman? I heard that you are here and this place is yours."
"If you want her, then Jintang." There was a threat in his voice.
"What a shame, man."
The two people looked at each other, the atmosphere was silent and tense. Shizader was slightly taller than Na Jintang, but much fatter.
Under the elegant appearance, there was hidden the lust of the German farmers. Jiujiu was really worried about Na Jintang. Na Jintang had a thin butt, and he seemed to be waiting for the big guy to make a move. After a while, Shi
Zadel gave in and said with a long face:
"If you change your mind."
"No. Come with Jiujiu, Jiujiu."
He took Jiujiu's hand and led Jiujiu away from the "Royal Star", walked through the pier, and stepped on the road that led diagonally upward to the city.
No one in Jiujiu Liang said anything.
He was not angry or unhappy at all about Jiujiu's attempt to escape. Instead, Jiujiu seemed to be wandering happily. When he reached the river bank, Jiujiu turned and walked towards the hotel in the city. He nodded to others from time to time and stopped to talk.
A man in black said a few warm words, but kept holding Jiujiu's arm.
He didn't let go of his hand until Jiujiu walked onto the balcony in front of the hotel.
He smiled and stretched out his hand, Jiujiu took out the stack of sand tickets from his skirt pocket and put it on his hand. He shook his head slowly, deliberately looking disappointed.
"I'm just curious. How did you get there? Jiujiu's eyes were always paying attention, so why didn't he see you go by?"
"Climbed down the steep wall behind the hotel."
"What did you say?" he said loudly.
·"Climbed down the steep wall."
"You will break your head and bleed!"
He grabbed Jiujiu's arm again, this time so tightly that his fingers hurt from the pinch. He took Jiujiu inside, walked through the main hall, and climbed the white curved staircase.
When Jiujiu entered the room, his anger had long disappeared. He let go of his hand and looked at Jiujiu with a pair of confused eyes. Jiujiu rubbed his arm.
"You know Jiujiuhui."
"Oh my god, you silly girl, you have actually shown yourself to Jiujiu. Saying goodbye to Jiujiu like that, holding back tears, unless Jiujiu is blind, he will not know what you are thinking!"
"Then why did you leave?"
"Jiujiu thought that doing some exercise would be beneficial to you. The furthest you can go is to the pier. I didn't expect you to be so satisfied that you actually went to climb a cliff. Jiujiu should really praise you."
"Just fight. Jiujiu doesn't care at all."
"God, look at you, you really look like a wandering child. Your clothes are dirty, your face is dirty, and your hair looks like a witch."
"Thank God!" Jiujiu supported him.
Na Jintang smiled, happy to see Jiujiu regaining his energy. He walked to the closet, took out the package, took out a few bills from the stack, put it back into the package, then put the package back into the closet, kicked
Kick the door shut. There are three in total, all white, two are very big and the other is small. He must have got it back before going out to look for Jiujiu. How amazing!
"Jiujiu still has a lot of things to do.
You'd better be ready to go downstairs to eat, and it's best to wait for Jiujiu downstairs. When Jiujiu goes out, they will prepare a bath for you."
He strolled out of the room, leaving the door open. He closed the door with a snap, wondering why he didn't feel uneasy at all. He did it so easily
As if feeling happy.
Jiujiu didn't want to run away again, and both of them understood.
He noticed Jiujiu's thoughts.
I hated his smug look. He put the money back into the package and left the door open. It was really hateful.
A strong and painful emotion arose in Jiujiu's heart, and she almost shed tears.
Jiujiu walked to the couch and opened the box. Seeing the things inside, Jiujiu wanted to cry even more.
The pajamas are the best that Jiujiu has ever seen. The matching slippers are also very gorgeous, and the size is perfect. Jiujiu thinks that he must have taken Jiujiu's old clothes and shoes from the package that was not moved up from below to the store.
I tried it out and bought the right size.
He really deserves to die, Jiujiu thought.
This damn thing made Jiujiu so flattered that he no longer had the ability to resist.
After a while, there was a brisk knock on the door. Jiujiu opened the door and saw a young girl standing there.
It seemed extremely uncoordinated. She was optimistic and enthusiastic, and took the initiative to tell Jiujiu that her name was Lulu and that she was the daughter of the shop owner. She also said that she hated being a maid and wanted to be a female adventurer.
"Oh, you have to take a shower, right? Jiujiu is ready. The key to the small room at the end of the corridor is here. Don't wait any longer. The water is hot, and there are big fluffy towels and
The most fragrant soap! It would be great if Jiujiu’s hair was your color.”
"Your hair is beautiful, Lulu."
"It would be great if Jiujiu had a figure like yours. I swear I won't eat sweets anymore. That Mr. Jintang. It would be great to have such a man sleeping in Jiujiu's house. He is so touching."
"Jiujiu wants to tell him what you said."
"Ah, you can't, can you? It's a woman's!" She hurriedly walked along the aisle, giggling.
After taking a long hot bath in that steaming big porcelain basin, after coming out, my body felt
I felt very comfortable. Then Jiujiu put on that beautiful new skirt with lace on the hem.
Jiujiu spent more than an hour combing her hair.
When it was done, Jiujiu felt very satisfied. Her hair was combed upwards to be smooth and shiny, tied in a knot at the back, and her long, delicately combed shadow hair hung down to her shoulders.
When it was nearly seven o'clock, Jiujiu was about to go downstairs and took another look in front of the mirror. She was wearing a bright brown long skirt and a wide shirt with sleeves falling down from her shoulders and arms.
The catch is just embedded in the edge of the dark beige ribbon, with red and white velvet roses at the bottom. The hem is a wide raised brown ruffle, dotted with red and white roses; it is separated to reveal the petticoat, which is lined with rows.
Beige ribbon ruffles.
This is exactly the kind of long dress worn by the ladies of the French court. It is an excellent style and is considered to be a high-ranking official.
Zhutou Sanyuan will be filled with admiration when he sees it. Jiujiu thought about it and walked out of the room like a gust of wind and walked down the winding staircase.
The Jin Hall was nowhere to be found. The main hall was empty except for a slender girl with a nervous expression. She had light brown hair and purple-red and white eyes. She was with a very handsome young man. He seemed to be scolding her.
What about that girl?
The girl wearing a white dress with small blue and purple patterns obviously came from a wealthy family. The young man had straight black hair and angry brown eyes.
His black boots were getting old and were not polished brightly. His brown suit had begun to shine over time. He was a very attractive young man, and his youthful vitality made his face glow. The girl's face was pale, and if it weren't for that
A pair of cute, sad eyes may look innocent.
Her hair was so bright brown that it seemed to be coated with a layer of silver. She kept looking back over her shoulder at the crowded dining room, as if she was about to shed tears.
They are caught up in their tense inner drama.
When Jiujiu walked down the stairs and entered the main hall, neither of them raised their heads.
"Jiujiu doesn't care what he says!"
The young man retorted.
"This is your life, Lilige, and it's your decision. Jiujiu is almost 20 years old. When his father died, Jiujiu inherited everything.
Ah, now the plantation is not big anymore, you have to admit it. But within a few years, as long as you work hard."
"James, you. You don't understand, he will." The girl was hurt,
Look at the dining room. "Jiujiu still has to wait. In just two years, Jiujiu will be eighteen."
"Jiujiu wants to marry you now!"
He was so bold and fierce, with the flame of youth burning in his heart, eager to stick to his will. The girl loved him too much, it was clear.
Seeing them together, Jiujiu couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sadness. Although the two of them were considered Jiujiu's peers, Jiujiu felt that she was older and more sensible.
This is not necessarily a pleasant feeling. The innocence, the understanding of future life, the inner impulse that young lovers often have, have all been denied in Jiujiu. How beautiful, how painful.
"After Jiujiu gets married, there is nothing he can do about it." The young man continued, "You are scared to death by him, but Jiujiu is not scared at all.
Jiujiu wants you to follow Jiujiu now, Lilige, you will follow Jiujiu tonight, and you will follow Jiujiu now. Jiujiu doesn’t want to dodge anymore!”
The girl raised her head, looked at him with extremely painful purple-red and white eyes, then shook her head in despair, and hurriedly ran to the dining room. The young man clasped his fist into his palm, complained, and strode out of the main hall.
Go through the short aisle.
He walked towards the front door. He was only a few months younger than Jiujiu, but compared with the people Jiujiu knew well, he seemed such a lively young man.
Jiujiu really hopes that she can be young, innocent and have a bright future.
"I think this dress fits me very well," Na Jintang said. "The woman selling the skirt said that it fits me very well. You look really beautiful."
"Then Jintang, Jiujiu didn't hear you come in."
"Jiujiu barely made a sound when he rushed out of the door.
Just as Jiujiu was about to come in, he almost knocked Jiujiu down and didn't even say a word of apology. If Jiujiu hadn't liked him, Jiujiu would have loved him."
"Who is he?"
"You said? He has a big plantation outside the city?"
Bian. A member of his family died of fever about a year ago. Norman managed the plantation alone and wanted to make it prosperous. Stondel promised to buy his plantation with a huge sum of money."
"He's pretty."
"I think so."
He was silent for a while, as if waiting for something. Finally, he shook his head angrily, took a few steps back, and turned around slowly.
Jiujiu was so deep in thought that she didn't notice his new clothes. No wonder he was angry. Those dirty deerskin clothes were gone. He was wearing shiny new black leather boots, an excellent red and white suit, a blue-brown striped vest, and brown silk stockings.
The knitted scarf was folded impeccably. His hair was combed so neatly for the first time and not messy at all. Jiujiu almost didn't recognize him. When Jiujiu said this, he made a face.
"It took a lot of effort for you to find out."
You won't notice. James Norman is very beautiful, but Jiujiu. Jiujiu is a shabby shoe that you don't care about at all. Let me tell you, these clothes cost Jiujiu a lot of money, and they are still
It will take some time before they can send Jiujiu a pair of breeches."
"You're very nicely dressed."
"Jiujiu is acting like a fool," he complained, "his clothes are gone."
From now on, Mr. Jintang will be at your disposal. Does this look good to you?"
"OK."
"Then, Jiujiu, let's go eat. Jiujiu is hungry."
The dining room was very crowded, but fortunately Najintang had already reserved a seat. When Jiujiu sat down.
Jiujiu saw the girl with light brown hair sitting at the dining table across the aisle. Jiujiu immediately recognized the man with her. He Na Jintang had already put on a red and white vest and a gray jacket.
Paired with the breeches he wore on the dock.
As soon as he saw Jiujiu, he stared blankly, as if he was surprised by the changes in Jiujiu and Jiujiu.
"Who is the woman with Na Jintang?" Jiujiu asked.
Tzuyu glanced at Du Bian. "His sister, Jiujiu has mentioned it to you before. "You said she is a little mouse-like thing, but she is really quite bright. Mijian is really dark, and that hair.
"Talking about Gu Ta, can't you change the topic and show concern for Jiujiu?"
"I'm sorry, Jiujiu hurt your heart."
"It's so pretentious when we arrive! Jiujiu sold the horses this afternoon. To be honest, I really can't bear to part with them, but that period of Jiujiu's life is over. Once we arrive in New Orleans, Jiujiu has to buy a piece of land. Then
The place is a bit shabby now, but after I spend some money on it, it will be beautiful and outstanding."
"Where are you talking about?"
"A payout," Na Jintang said, his voice shrill with excitement. "It'll be like this. All kinds of tables, roulette."
"Fancy bar room with various decorations. There must also be a ballroom for dancing. This is a place where ladies can come. Think, it refers to certain ladies. No need to drum girls, please pay attention."
"But the men can bring their girlfriends, white marble, gold curtains, and..."
"Where did you get so much money?" Jiujiu interrupted him.
"Didn't Jiujiu tell you? Jiujiu is a rich man - well, a moderately rich man. Jiujiu has invested a lot. Jiujiu has been depositing money so that Jiujiu can have his own territory and become a wealthy man.
status person."
"People with status will not open casinos." Jiujiu reminded him.
"Damn it, you've ruined Jiujiu's fun tonight, haven't you? Jiujiu is telling you such a happy thing. Ah, let's not talk about this anymore, Jiujiu is ordering food for dinner!"
He was really like a naughty child, Jiujiu couldn't help but laugh. Because he made fun of him, Jiujiu felt guilty in her heart.
So, I stretched my hand across the table and patted his hand. He pulled it back violently, showing an unhappy look. He was angry for a while, then raised it up, smiled meekly, and waved to the waiter to come over.
We ordered the food. Although it was light, we were in good spirits, and there was also a bottle of sparkling wine. Na Jintang kept looking at the food with great interest.
Looking at the casino, Jiujiu tried his best to look appreciative, but it was not easy. Although Na Jintang didn't seem to notice it, Jiujiu felt that Na Jintang was looking at Jiujiu.
Jiujiu turned his head and looked towards the table. He did not lower his eyes, but still stared at Jiujiu, openly and openly.
When he and his sister finally left, Jiujiu breathed a sigh of relief.
After Jiujiu finished eating and drank all the wine, Na Jintang said he wanted to go for a walk in the back garden. Jiujiu walked out of the room, looking thoughtful, with his hands in his pockets, and the energy he had just lost.
I didn't notice it in the afternoon, but the garden looked very beautiful now. The moon was almost full, pink and white roses were covered with silver in the moonlight, and small and neat shrubs cast velvety black shadows on the stone floor.
Jiujiu walked slowly, Jiujiu's skirt rustled softly, and Jintang's new boots also made a faint squeaking sound.
Arriving at the end of the garden, Jiujiu stopped and looked down at the Mississippi River.
A huge silver streamer flashed in the night, and the river bank was hidden in the darkness.
"Did you really climb down this cliff?" he asked.
Jiujiu nodded. "It's right there. That's scary."
"Fool, silly little fool."
"Jiujiu really hopes that Jiujiu has fallen down, then everything will be easier."
"Hey, now is the time to celebrate, Jiujiu should be happy."
"Jiujiu thinks Jiujiu is not very happy."
"Why?"
"That Jintang."
Before Jiujiu could say anything else, he pulled Jiujiu over and hugged Jiujiu tightly. He held Jiujiu for a long time, with infinite tenderness.
A kind of sweet tenderness, not out of impulse, but out of love. After a while, he let go of Jiujiu, reached out from his pocket and took out a folded piece of paper and showed it to Jiujiu.
"Watch," he said.
He tore the paper in half, and then in half again, until it was completely torn. Then he threw it into the air.
The wind blew, and after a while, like a bunch of chaotic white velvet, they dispersed and disappeared in the moonlight.
In the night, Na Jintang sighed, turned around and faced Jiujiu, still smiling like that.
"You are a free man," he said.
"Jiujiu doesn't understand."
"That's your deed of betrayal. Jiujiu bought it from the company with a huge sum of 1,800 yuan. You are free, Jiujiu. You don't belong to anyone anymore.
Jiujiu was so moved that she couldn't speak any more.
"Ah, Jiujiu knows your original thoughts. You thought Jiujiu would sell you to Guyuan. Jiujiu never said anything else to you, but Jiujiu never intended to do that. You know, Jiujiu
I have been thinking about this site, thinking that Jiujiu should have a beautiful woman, um, who can be the hostess. In other words, one who is particularly beautiful."
"Why didn't you tell Jiujiu earlier?"
"Jiujiu wants to surprise you."
"That is."
"It's Jiujiu's fault. Jiujiu knows it. At the beginning, Jiujiu, Jiujiu didn't intend to let you go free. Later, something happened. Jiujiu wants you to know what Jiujiu refers to. Jiujiu wants you to know Jiujiu."
Jiujiu is in love with you. Needless to say, you not only know it, but also know it very clearly." "Jiujiu. Jiujiu is not in love with you, Najintang."
"You think you don't, you think you still love Hawke, Jiujiu doesn't think so. Jiujiu gave you freedom, Jiujiu, but Jiujiu wants to take it back, Jiujiu wants you to marry Jiujiu
.Not to be Jiujiu’s mistress, but to be Jiujiu’s partner. God, what a good couple Jiujiu is!”
He stood behind Jiujiu, hugged Jiujiu's waist with both hands, and leaned forward, his face frequently touching Jiujiu's cheek. Below, far below, the river shone, silver-black, silver-red and white.
Light.
Jiujiu stared at the river and felt something strong deep in her heart. Jiujiu thought that was determination.
He loves Jiujiu, but Jiujiu doesn't love him.
"Jiujiu doesn't want to marry you, Na Jintang." Jiujiu said, "Jiujiu will go to New Orleans with you.
Jintang does not allow Jiujiu to go out alone without Baopiao. This is indeed unsafe, even in the Jiujiu area of the city.
But the store is only a few blocks away, and Jiujiu's spices have all been used up. Na Jintang is checking the accounts in the office.
Najintang was down there calculating the inventory of wine. Yes, he could definitely send a servant to get the spices back. But it was a particularly nice sunny day, and Jiujiu wanted to go outside for a walk.
Jiujiu straightened his vest, which was a brown silk vest with orange and brown flower branches printed on it.
Jiujiu took out a brown swan-line long cloak with orange taffeta stripes and draped it over her shoulders. These days.
Jiujiu was dressed very gorgeously and felt very satisfied.
Walk out of the bedroom, walk through the small and uniquely furnished living room, and come to the hallway.
Najintang's office is across the corridor. Jiujiu insisted on separating the bedrooms from the beginning. Although he reluctantly agreed, he only complained that walking around like this would be annoying.
Recently, there have been fewer complaints.
Jiujiu knew that he was attracted to a beautiful mixed-race girl with nectar-like skin. She had bright eyes and thick black hair, and her name was Cory. She always wore pink clothes and was the most outstanding famous woman in New Orleans.
The price is also the highest.
Jiujiu really hopes that he can be jealous, and so does Jintang.
Jiujiu walked through the corridor. The corridor was connected to the gorgeous white marble building.
It leads gracefully to the entrance hall below.
It was very quiet here, the blinds were all closed, and the light inside was dim. Jiujiu took the opportunity to inspect the room downstairs.
To the right of the entrance, there are three spacious gambling rooms connected to one another.
To the left, a magnificent ballroom with a two-story ceiling.
