MTL - Rebirth in America: Great Slave Owner-Chapter 43 Douglas' invitation

PS: I felt that the ending of the last chapter was not very good, so I revised it, and those who have seen it can re-read it.

"Tony, I finally figured out why your uncle Jules borrowed money everywhere!" That day, Maxi came over and said to Tangning mysteriously.

"Oh? Why?" Tangning asked curiously.

Maxey explained, "A friend of mine came to New Orleans in the same boat as your Uncle Jules, and he knew a little about your Uncle Jules in Paris, according to him. In Paris all day long in the Mont Heights, not only did he squander his family property, but he also owed a lot of money, so he ran to New Orleans to hide his debts, but he didn't expect that he would cheat money everywhere when he got here, and now I don't know what to do. Where did you go!” (Mont Heights is a famous bar street in Paris, and the famous Moulin Rouge is here. At that time, many painters, novelists and poets were here.)

After hearing this explanation, Tangning couldn't help but help her forehead, thinking what the **** is this? Now let alone the thousand pounds I lent him, even if he manages other people's money, I have to pay it back. In my name, really bad luck!

So Tangning immediately filled out a check and handed it to Maxy, but Maxy refused to accept it, and said with a displeased expression, "Tony, what do you mean? I'm here to tell you about this, so that you won't be kept in the dark, if I receive this check, I'm here to take care of you and ask for money!"

Tangning quickly explained, "I know Paul, you definitely don't mean that, but after all, Yule is going to borrow money from you in my name, otherwise you know who he is? How can you lend him money? It has already run away, which means that you will not be able to get the three hundred pounds back in a short time, so I will put it on first, and then I will take care of him to come back when I find him!"

But even so, Maxi still refused to accept it. Just when the two were arguing, the butler came in to report: "Master, there is a telegram from New York!"

Maxi took this opportunity to escape and said, "Okay, Tony, hurry up and read the telegram. I have something else to do, so I'll go first!" After speaking, he left without looking back.

Tangning looked at his back and shook her head helplessly. Then she took the telegram from the butler and opened it to see that it was from Morgan in New York. He said that he met Steven at a reception a few days ago- -Douglas, when chatting, he talked about his analysis of the presidential campaign situation that he had told him. I didn't expect Douglas to recognize his analysis very much, and when he invited Downing to come to Springfield through Morgan Want to meet him.

Downing was not surprised that Morgan knew Douglas, because there was a rumor that "the Democrats belonged to the Morgan family and the Republicans belonged to the Rockefellers." Of course, this was after the Civil War, but before that, the Morgan family belonged to the Democrats. Important members, so it is very normal for JP Morgan to have the opportunity to meet or get to know Steven Douglas, the Democratic presidential candidate.

But Tangning was a little surprised that Douglas could recognize her own analysis and wanted to see her. It wasn't because he wasn't confident in her own analysis, because that was what happened later. It was just a surprise that Douglas could take him seriously if he was a nobody. , Should I go and visit him?

Just as Tangning was thinking about whether to go to Springfield, she suddenly heard a quarrel coming from the door. She walked over to see that it was the housekeeper who was blocking a young man who was full of literary and artistic aura. Tangning asked the housekeeper, "Rob, what's going on?"

Steward Rob bowed slightly and replied, "Master, this Mr. Reiner has made a very unreasonable request, and I'm asking him to leave!"

"Unreasonable request? What request?" Tangning asked curiously.

Rob hesitated for a while, and just as he was about to speak, Reiner on the side hurriedly said, "I want to marry Isabel!"

Hearing Reiner's words, Tangning couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and even doubted her ears, "What did you say?!"

"Mr. Tangning, I said I want to marry Isabelle!" Reiner replied sternly.

"Don't you know that Isabelle is my slave girl?" Tangning asked in confusion.

Reiner nodded and replied, "I know, I knew it when I first met Isabelle!"

"Then how can you make such an unreasonable request!" Tangning asked while suppressing her anger.

"Because the United States is a civilized society, a civilized society should not have the identity of a female slave. If Isabel is Mr. Downing's wife, then I will definitely not disturb Isabel and will apologize for my behavior; This kind of identity does not conform to the teachings, you have no right to restrain her, you should give her normal marriage rights and freedom!" Reiner explained righteously~www.novelbuddy.com~ Hearing this, Tangning was a little speechless, considering Reiner His accent, so he asked tentatively, "Mr. Reiner, where are you from?"

"New York!" Reiner replied.

Tangning took a deep breath and said, "Since you don't understand our New Orleans or even the entire southern rules, I don't blame you this time, but you have to remember that it is legal to own slaves in the South. Isabelle and the entire manor are more than 300 people. Black slaves, they are all my slaves, and I have the right to decide everything about them!"

"I know that it is legal to keep slaves in your south, but this kind of law will not last long, because what you do is against humanity, so Mr. Downing, you must return Isabel's freedom!" Reiner said "righteously" insist.

"Okay, since you keep asking me to set Isabel free, I'll let her choose whether to follow you or stay at the manor!" After speaking, Tangning ordered the housekeeper to call Isabel over.

Seeing Reiner, Isabel was taken aback, and when she heard Tangning's words, she was even more shocked, and quickly explained to Tangning, "Master, don't get me wrong, I have never promised this Mr. Reiner anything, and since I knew him I've been avoiding him ever since..."

"Just say whether to follow him or stay in the manor!" Tangning interrupted her impatiently.

Isabel replied without hesitation: "Of course I'll stay at the manor and by your side!"
