It was only after five in the morning when Scarlett woke up. It was very bright, but she could still see through the thin gauze curtain that today would be a bright day. She lifted the quilt and put on slippers and came to the window, standing quietly There, I took a deep breath of the morning air, filled with floral and earthy scents.

She opened her eyes, listening to the crowing of the sparrow, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, no matter what, there was a tough battle to be fought today.

She stayed for a while before going downstairs to have breakfast. Ellen was up, neatly dressed and the silver cutlery was laid out. Gerald was reading a booklet. She walked over and glanced at it. It's about league news.

"Good morning, Mom and Dad." Scarlett kissed her parents one by one, and the latter responded with an intimate smile.

"Is my little one impatient to go to the dance?" O'Hara put down the booklet in her hand and asked with a smile.

"Yes, Dad, the barbecue at Mr. Wilkes' house is delicious." Scarlett said with her eyes bent. She likes the old gentleman not only because he is Ashley's father, but also It was the kind of demeanor in him, which combined the straightforward and refined demeanor of a man, which Gerald did not have.

"I thought you'd like balls better." Gerald winked at his daughter, whose older daughter had the most beautiful little feet in the world, and who moved as if she had woven her own dance steps from an early age. .

"That's what I like too." Scarlett said with a smile while sitting in her seat, and Ellen asked her grandmother to wake up Su Lun and Karin, and let the girls clean up after breakfast.

Scarlett didn't eat much, she ate very slowly on purpose so that her grandma couldn't tell her, because she didn't want to actually burp herself at the party.

"Come on, my Miss Scarlett, let me tighten your waist a little bit, you will be the most beautiful girl in the whole town." Grandma said cheerfully and proudly, her Miss Scarlett has the thinnest waist Her waist, her pretty face and lively personality will make her the most attractive girl at the ball, and all these, the old grandmother feels as if she is complimenting her, of course, Miss Scarlett is the one who takes care of her elders big.

"Okay, Mom." Scarlett agreed. She hugged the pillar, took a deep breath, and asked her grandmother to tie her waist. It really hurt, she thought with some complaints, but she still kept silent endured.

Half an hour later, Mr. O'Hara began to rush his daughters, but Ellen did not go. Jonas was indeed a good overseer. After driving him out, the manor was busy, and Bi Ellen was better suited to take over these chores than Mr. O'Hara.

"Scarlett, are you alright?" Gerald's voice came from the window, Scarlett responded, put on her shoes and went straight down, a bit in a hurry, but not too embarrassed, Sue Lun and Karin had already prepared, and the former also took Scarlett's place, where you can see the window, and their family has always agreed that it is Scarlett's place, but this time Scarlett didn't say anything , she was sitting opposite Karin, with expectations and panic in her heart.

"Drive!" The coachman yelled, waving his whip, and the carriage began to walk up the path towards Twelve Oaks Village.On the way they met the Tarleton family, the twins and their brothers were riding horses, Mrs. Tarleton was driving the carriage herself, and in the car sat her four daughters, all of whom had red hair, but compared to the twins' flamboyant red hair It seems more restrained.

"Hello, girls!" Although Mrs. Tarleton is the mother of eight children, she still has a lot of vitality. She doesn't put on airs like ordinary adults, and she is as unrestrained as the horses she loves. Even Scarlett is very supportive. I like her, but Mrs. Tarleton preferred Su Lun and Karin because she didn't like the flamboyance of Scarlett, but now, Scarlett's warm and lively character is the most popular with Mrs. Tarleton. Loved it, she seemed to see her former self in this green-eyed girl, a girl like the wind.

"Hello, Mrs. Tarleton!" The girls all responded. Compared with Su Lun and Karin's gentle and delicate, Scarlett smiled brighter, and her green eyes were as beautiful as crescent moons.

"What a beautiful little girl!" Tarleton praised without hesitation. Although she said this to the three sisters, Stuart and Brent knew that their mother was praising Scarlett, and the two brothers squeezed each other Eyes, feel happy, as if they are the ones being praised.

Mrs. Tarleton drove the car over and drove alongside Scarlett and their carriage on the road. To be honest, it was a bit dangerous, but she was the first-class expert in these towns, so no one thought it was wrong OK.

"I heard that there is an important event to be announced today." Mrs. Tarleton chatted while driving the car.

"Is it a marriage between the eldest Wilkes and the Hamilton girl?" asked O'Hara.

"That's right." Mrs. Tarleton smiled, and Brent, who was riding a horse, made a face. "Mom, your news is too outdated. We already knew about it."

"Hey, boys, while you're wandering around looking for news and gossip, your old mother is working hard on the ranch!" Mrs. Tarleton raised her horsewhip and raised her eyebrows. Brent hurriedly revealed A smile fell silent, and the red-haired lady looked away satisfied and continued her words.

"Actually, I don't agree with this kind of marriage model. It's not raising horses. People should marry different people. Intermarriage between families just makes the children weaker and weaker. Look at Wilkes The girl from the family and the brothers and sisters from the Hamilton family, well, Charles is not bad, but his face is still a little paler than ordinary people, and his sister Melanie has no character, but her health is too bad." Tarleton The lady made the call quickly, she was a cheerful lady who said what was on her mind and didn't mind meddling, and the O'Haras liked her.

"Both of their families need fresh blood!" Mrs. Tarleton said with the final word.

"I heard that apart from Melanie and Ashley, Honey is also engaged to the boy from the Hamilton family." O'Hara said with a smile.

"I don't know that yet, but to be honest, I don't think these two are compatible." Mrs. Tarleton frowned.
