Grasp the farming script in the famous book

Walking into the hall holding Rhett's arm, Roland was a little absent-minded.

She and the people around her have the problem of not being able to fit into the class they came from.

She is a player with values ​​outside the plane; while he was exiled by his native family because of his "black history".

They are indeed alike, both have bad reputations and don't care too much - which makes them very clear about each other's situations.

But she was still curious, just now Ruide said that he would return to this system, earn his reputation back in a small way, and then make a big mockery of it back.

——What exactly does he want to do?

Indoors, the atmosphere of the wedding is still very good, the band is playing music with all their heart, and the hot food is delivered——

It is said that in order to cater to the tastes of most people, Wei Yingdi chose a French chef, and the champagne and Bordeaux wine shipped from France all the way to the table were mixed.

Such a wedding is indeed luxurious, but it is not "New Orleans".

Roland looked around the hall, and she immediately met a pair of worried gray eyes - Wei Xili hadn't seen her for a long time, and her eyes were full of concern and anxiety.

But as soon as their eyes met, Ashley immediately lowered his eyes and turned to look at his wife sitting beside him.

At this moment, Melanie saw Roland and Rhett together, and a small face as big as a palm was filled with smiles, almost overflowing.

Roland stuck out his tongue playfully at her, expressing that everything was going well.

Melanie understood, and immediately made a gesture to remind her to "seize the opportunity".Ashley watched his wife interact with Roland with a pale face, expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking.

On the other hand, Rhett raised Tirolan's arm calmly, as if to warn her: concentrate on watching the show and don't get distracted.

He led her to Mrs. Merryweather, let Roland go in front of this person, and went forward to salute Mrs. Merryweather.

"Ma'am, I remember discussing with you my enlistment in the last phase of the war. I suppose you must have asked the relevant people and been able to clear me up?"

Roland also remembered: at the last wedding—the wedding of Suellen and Frank, people had questioned whether it was true that Rhett had joined the army.

Rhett said at the time that he was participating in neither the infantry nor the cavalry, but the artillery, and he directly slapped the little volunteer from the Merriwether family in the face.

At that time, Mrs. Merriwether did say that she had a channel to inquire about, but there was no further information.

At this moment Mrs. Merriweather was sent to the army, stayed for a moment, and immediately said aloud: "Yes, I wrote to several friends who served in the artillery, and none of them had heard of you. "

Mrs. Merriwether, who had always been hostile and sharp to Rhett, refused to be ambiguous.Her voice was very loud, and many of the wedding guests around turned around immediately.

"Oh, yes, ma'am, it's a pity."

Rhett said with a smile, "Don't you know Colonel Carleton, the former artillery commander of the Southern Army?"

Mrs. Merriwether: "Of course I do. He married one of my cousins."

Rhett turned around: "Look, that's Colonel Carlton."

Mrs. Merryweather:  …

She opened her eyes and stayed where she was. The "recognized" she just said should not be "recognized" in the usual sense.

Roland almost didn't laugh out loud.

"Come on, let me introduce you."

Rhett immediately walked a few steps towards Colonel Carton, whispered a few words in the colonel's ear, and indeed invited Colonel Carton to the ladies and wives.

This is indeed Carlton, the artillery commander of the Confederate Army in the final stage of the war.He confirmed his identity and his kinship with Mrs. Merryweather.

And he also very sincerely confirmed Brad's service.

"Red is a very fine character, a born artilleryman, a brave soldier, and a gentleman without complaint1..."

Roland was on the side, listening to Colonel Carleton's affirmation of Rhett, he was also a little surprised - at the last moment of the war, the knight holding up the spear and going to fight the windmill, did he really behave like this?

When Colonel Carton spoke, Rhett looked like a shy young man, with his head bowed, his energetic black eyes lowered, and an air of extreme modesty, as if Colonel Carton's words were only flattering words. .

Colonel Carleton talked about the past, and more and more people gathered here.Everyone recalls the last period of the war with regret.

But I can't say much—the groom naturally invited many high-ranking officials and speculators from the north to the south at today's wedding.Everyone's position is different, it's useless to say more.

When Mrs. Elsing heard this, she pulled Rhett's arm excitedly: "Why didn't you say it earlier, why didn't you say it earlier?"

Roland really wanted to say something for Rhett: He said it a long time ago.

Rhett smiled gently, but that smile gradually disappeared.

"After all... After all, we still tasted the taste of failure..."

His expression almost made all the southerners in the room weep.

Indeed, even if he joined the army at the last moment of the war, it would not be possible to reverse the outcome of the defeat-since the war still ended in failure, what's the point of declaring that he did join the army?

Mrs. Elsing burst into tears, and Mrs. Merriweather wiped her eyes with her handkerchief.

Roland almost stretched out his hand to give Rhett his thumb: actor, you can do it.

The two wives immediately invited Mrs. Meade, and together, the three of them pulled Rhett to tell him about his experience at the end of the war from the beginning to the end.

After Bai Ruide finished speaking, he also sincerely thanked Mrs. Meade: "Dr. Meade wrote an article in the newspaper saying that I was a warmonger and a speculator..."

Mrs. Meade shook her head with red eyes, and said, "No, you ain't—"

Unexpectedly, Ruide went on to say: "I am indeed that kind of person."

Ladies: ...

"Dr. Meade is right. I realized it. I realized that I had never made any contribution to the South before I joined the army..."

Roland was silent when he heard the words.

Rhett is still different from her—people are social animals, and it is impossible for Rhett to completely break free from the influence of environment and class. In the final analysis, he still has a heart that belongs to the South, so he will leave everything behind at that moment and enlist in the army .

But as long as Ruide expresses his position and shows that he belongs to the South, the rest of the matter will be easy.

The ladies all regarded him as one of their own, a man who was both noble and capable.

Mrs. Merriwether proclaimed enthusiastically: "We want men like you, with a heart for the Southern states, and intelligence, courage, eloquence . . . and good looks!"

"Come on, come and do something for the poor people in the South!"

"Mr. Bai, we need you to do those—"

"Red, you can do this..."

What they asked for Brad's help was nothing more than to restore the voting rights of southerners, to re-assess the taxation of property rights, and so on.

Rhett listened and nodded quite seriously.

Roland couldn't help being amazed: Indeed, it took only 10 minutes for Rhett to immediately return to the old class he belonged to, and won people's respect for him extremely quickly.

But judging by his current appearance, does he intend to continue to be a "good boy" in this class?

Before she could think about it, Ruide suddenly took her to his side, took her arm gently, and said softly to the ladies: "Everyone, Mrs. Han is my...friend."

The ladies were all startled, and then looked at each other knowingly.

Bachelors and widows...everyone knows this.

The others were fine, and Mrs. Merriwether was the first to show disdain.She turned her head to look for the members of the Han family, and shouted: "Baidie, Han Baidie..."

As soon as she remembered that Baidie hadn't come this time, Mrs. Merriweather called out again: "Merry, Mrs. Wei..."

Even though remarriage of widows is extremely common now, those wives and wives who don't have this need still unconsciously want to "judgment" Roland.

It seems that Rhett and Roland already have something now.

Roland thought amusedly: If there was really something between the two of them, they wouldn't care about this kind of look even more; unlike now, they still have to be wronged in their hearts.

"So, when you stop commenting on Mrs. Han at will, can I come back to serve you?"

The faces in front of her were flushed instantly, and the eyeballs were about to fall out.

Dare to feel that Ruide laid the groundwork so much in front, just to stand out for Roland, and I don't mind that they always make irresponsible remarks about Roland and her business.

Rhett laughed, stretched out his arms to wrap Roland around, turned and left.

A waiter at the wedding scene had already picked up Wade and sent him to Roland.

This was also arranged by Ruide early in the morning. He had long been calculating the time to turn his back on him, and once he turned his back on him, he would leave no room and take Roland away.

It's just that now he's holding Roland in one arm and little Wade in the other, just like a family of three.

Roland didn't expect this result either.

She even looked back curiously to see how the ladies reacted.

Bai Ruide's move was also very damaging. He deliberately returned to the original class first, forcing this class to accept him, and when people realized that they wanted him and tried their best to please him, he turned his face and refused to recognize anyone.

Roland suddenly felt that these ladies would never forget Ruide's two faces.

But Rhett leaned into her ear: "Don't be afraid, Scarlett. In the future, when you want to make fun of them, I have other tricks - I will guarantee that you will see them being coaxed with flushed faces and tears in their eyes, and then we will grow up together again." Change face..."

Roland: ...It can be seen that you are not a good person.

The three of them walked out together, and Roland looked back occasionally, realizing that Melanie must have witnessed the whole thing, and she stretched out her hands to cover her mouth to hide the indescribably happy smile on her face.

Melanie really wanted Roland to be happy, but she was ashamed to let the ladies see her so proud.

And Ashley, who was sitting next to Melanie, was sullen, as if he was the unhappiest person in the world.

After leaving the wedding scene, Roland planned to call a taxi and go back to his small restaurant first.

But Ruide still held her arm and got into a simple light carriage.Roland confirmed that this was not the covered carriage that Bell Vautrin used to ride in, so he took a ride with peace of mind.

"Go to 'Tommy's Kitchen'."

Ruide directly reported the address to the coachman.

The sound of horseshoes sounded, and Wade climbed onto Roland, looking at the scenery of the city curiously, but Rhett also took it from Roland.

"Good boy, come on, don't make your mother work so hard, come to uncle."

Roland immediately felt that the burden on his body was lightened.

Reid really hugged Wade, and began to explain to him the cityscape of New Orleans, what happened in this city before, the fire that burned in the French Quarter...

Roland could finally breathe a sigh of relief and turn to think about her own affairs.

The restaurant has not reopened since the last attack.Firstly, it was because of Inspector Robial's warning, and secondly, Roland had no idea, should her small restaurant be reopened?

The original intention of opening this restaurant is to bring happiness to people (especially Mrs. Munro), but now even her personal safety is threatened-the last time she jumped on the table and fired a gun, Mrs. Munro and Wade Hiding in the wine cellar of the restaurant, he vaguely heard the gunshot through the door panel.

Although Mrs. Munro didn't say anything afterwards, and Wade even rushed to Roland's side to praise "Mom is brave", but whenever Roland recalled this incident, she would tremble with fear and feel that she was really too careless.

She cannot bring danger to those close to her for her own "career".

As she thought so, the buggy was already approaching the restaurant.Roland quickly raised his body and put his arms around Wade's shoulders: "Okay, thank you Uncle Bai, and say goodbye to Uncle."

She raised her eyes, only to realize that Rhett was looking at her helplessly: "Scarlett, don't keep driving me out, okay?"

The tone was helpless, but also a little hurt.

"You mean... Mrs. Munro?"

Roland asked stupidly, only then remembered what Rhett said.

He knew Tommy Munro and had seen Tommy's last 2 minutes in this world.

He had sent her to this little restaurant not just to give her a place in New Orleans to pass the time; he had done it for Mrs. Munro as well.

"I never dared to show my face before." Rhett said in a muffled voice.

In the past, Mrs. Munro had a heart disease and was unwilling to believe the fact that Tommy had died in battle. Even if Rhett went to see her at that time, it would only make things worse and irritate her.

Roland looked at Rhett at this moment, and found that he was completely different from the previous wedding scene.

This man lost the rebelliousness, arrogance and cynicism just now. Instead, he looked at Roland eagerly, showing a little apprehension and caution.

His eyes were begging Roland, as if for the first time in his life he needed someone to give him courage.

"Go!" Roland held out his hand to him, "She's much better already."

Seemingly for the first time in his life, Rhett took her hand seriously, put it on his lips and touched it to show respect.

Roland had a sudden thought: It's rare... She can also enjoy the treatment of Melly.

The three got out of the car together.In the small dining room, Mrs. Munro came out of her own room: "Scarlett, are you back so early?"

Immediately after she saw Rhett, she was a little surprised and turned to look at Roland.

Rhett took off his hat cautiously and held it tightly in his hands.

Roland could only take Wade and wink at Sister Nanni who had just come downstairs.

She took them upstairs and sat in Mrs. Munro's sitting room.Sister Nanni looked at Roland suspiciously, but the serious and dignified atmosphere in the room made Sister Nani guess something.

"Recognize Master Tommy?" Mammy asked softly.

"Comrades—"

Roland also answered with mouth movements.

After waiting for a long time, a mournful cry came from downstairs.

Sister Nanni stood up with a "whoosh", but Roland quickly grabbed her, shook her head in a low voice, and signaled that there was some way to go, and the client had to walk by himself.

Sister Nanni stared at her, doubtful, and finally sat down slowly.

In this way, they gathered in the small room upstairs, anxiously waiting for new movements from downstairs.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long before there was a soft "squeak" sound from the floor.

Sister Nannie opened the door with a snap—

"It's my wife!"

Indeed, it was Mrs. Munro who appeared at the door, her face stained with tears, her eyes red and swollen, but clear.

"Scarlett, I think... Maybe you need to go and see the guest downstairs."

Roland reacted for a moment, then stood up suddenly, and immediately rolled down the stairs.

The place where Rhett and Mrs. Munro talked should be in the dining room. At this moment, Rhett was sitting alone at a walnut dining table, with his head on his hands and his face covered.

Roland had never seen Rhett like this.

The hair on his forehead was disheveled, and he couldn't speak when he heard her voice, and he made a thick nasal sound when he inhaled.

She stretched out her hand and put it lightly on his shoulder.

He took a deep breath and spread his hands, letting her see his red face and teary eyes.Those big black eyes are full of the timid look of a child.

But for some reason, Roland felt that this face complemented the image of Rhett in her heart, and made her realize a complete Rhett for the first time.

She stepped forward and opened her arms to him, wrapping his large head covered with thick black bristly hair in her arms.

With a whimper, he also opened his arms and hugged her tightly, as if only in this way could he exist.
