Rebirth in America: Great Slave Owner: Chapter 44 black freedmen

Hearing Isabel say this, Reiner was stunned, staring at Isabel in disbelief, and asked her in a trembling voice, "Isa, why did you say that? Do you have any reason to blame him? in hand?"

"No, I just like being with my master! Mr. Reiner, please don't harass me again!" Isabel said coldly.

Seeing Isabelle's statement, Tangning was very satisfied, so she smiled and asked Reiner, "Mr. Reiner, what else do you want to say now?"

"Well, since this is your decision, Isa, I respect it, but if one day you regret it, I will be waiting for you at any time!" After that, Reiner turned around and left.

After returning to the room, Tangning asked Isabel coldly, "Isa, explain to me, what's going on?"

"Master is like this. When I went to the street to buy flowers last week, I met Mr. Reiner!" Speaking of which, Isabel added: "Master, it was Mr. Reiner who told me first!"

"I know, keep talking!" Tangning said indifferently.

Isabelle said timidly: "Liner, Mr. Reiner asked my name and said that he liked me, and then I told him that I had a master, but he didn't listen, and I couldn't do anything about him, so I started to hide. following him."

To be honest, Tangning really didn't expect that there would be a young American who fell in love with a slave girl, and even went after the slave girl's owner and demanded her freedom, but this incident happened in front of her, and in her heart. Still very unhappy, could it be that he has been a slave owner for a long time, so his thinking has been assimilated?

Seeing Isabelle still waiting in front of her, Tangning waved her hand and said, "Go back first!" Then she began to think about her own thoughts.

But Isabelle obviously misunderstood what Tangning meant, she knelt down with a plop, and cried, "Master, I really have never done anything wrong to you, and I never thought of leaving your side, I beg you. Don't want Isa, okay?"

Tangning just wanted to laugh and cry when I said I didn't want you anymore, but after thinking about it, she asked Isabel, "Isa, if one day slavery is abolished, what are you going to do?"

"Master, what does it mean that slavery has been abolished?" Isabel asked inexplicably.

Tangning thought for a while, then explained, "Uh, all the owners of the manor are not allowed to buy black slaves. All black slaves have become free people."

The "free people" Tangning referred to were black free people. Although they weren't black slaves, they were discriminated against. They didn't even have the right to vote. Other rights were equivalent to "three-fifths of white people". There are not many people, about two or three thousand people in New Orleans, but there are still many slave owners who are trying to turn them into black slaves... (In fact, even if it is published The Emancipation Proclamation, but blacks didn't have the right to vote until 1895...)

To Tangning's surprise, after thinking carefully for a while, Isabelle shook her head and replied, "No, I don't want to become a free citizen, I just want to be my master's slave!"

"Why don't you want to? It's great to be a free citizen, how free!" Tangning asked in confusion.

Isabelle explained: "But the free people I know are not living a good life. Why should I give up such a good life now?"

Then he said: "Actually, I understand what master you and Mr. Reiner mean by freedom. If I met a master like Mr. Carter, I would definitely choose to be a free man, and I would never let it go. Mr. Reiner took me away with such a great opportunity today! But I met you, the master, you are the best master I know for female slaves, and I also like life here very much, so no matter what, I I will never leave you, Master, and I believe Caroline thinks so too!"

Regardless of whether Isabel's words were sincere or flattering, they made Tangning feel very comfortable, so she smiled and patted her little hand, "I understand what you mean, you go upstairs first, I want to go out to do some errands, Come back to reward you later!"

Naturally, what Tangning wanted to do was to pay back the money for Uncle Hule, and at the same time told them that they would not be able to lend him a shilling if they encountered this guy in the future, but also wanted to help her control him immediately.

Although it was a loss in terms of money, fortunately, the reputation was preserved. In New Orleans, an upper-class society where acquaintances are the mainstay, reputation and reputation are more precious than gold.

When we arrived at Jonathan's Manor, it was almost time for dinner, so Jonathan didn't say anything to let Tangning go, but insisted on keeping him for dinner. To be honest, this was the first time Tangning came here after Jonathan's Manor was built~www. mtlnovel.com~ After taking a bite of the grilled lamb chops with spices, Tangning nodded and praised, "The last time I ate such delicious grilled lamb chops was in Milan!"

Jonathan said in surprise, "Tony, you are really amazing, my chef is from Milan!" After that, he sent someone to call the chef and chatted with Tangning about Milan, but the problem was that Tangning was there. It was Milan in 2018, so I just dealt with it vaguely.

After the chef went down, Jonathan asked Tangning, "Tony, I have a few friends coming over in a few days, will we go deer hunting together?"

Deer hunting was originally a traditional leisure method for the British aristocracy, but due to the reduction of royal power, industrialization and years of hunting, deer hunting in the UK has become difficult...

However, this game has been learned by the Americans who still regard the United Kingdom as a lighthouse at this stage. After all, the territory of the United States is very large, especially in the south because there is not much industrialization, so the environmental protection is very good. Money people come here to hunt deer, and it is said that there are even bear hunters... (In fact, deer hunting is still legal in some states in the United States, and there are even deer hunting festivals.)

Tangning was still very interested in this event, so she replied, "If I don't have anything urgent, I'll definitely go!"

"That's great, I'll introduce you to some good friends just in time!"

PS: Thanks to book friends "Loki the Avenger" and "I Can't Help" for their support! In addition, I looked at the results of "Cao Cao Crossing Wu Dalang". To be honest, I was a little surprised. In fact, I watched it as early as when it was updated on Zhihu, but it gave me the feeling that the first few chapters were very interesting, and the later chapters were too ridiculous, but Unexpectedly, there are still many friends who like this way!
