Southern Rose [Gone with the Wind]

Raising children is a troublesome thing, and life can be handed over to nannies and servants, but it is impossible for a mother to say that she can leave her alone, and she has to bother to educate her.Victor's temperament is very similar to Philip's. They are both typical heirs, calm and gentlemanly, which may be one of the reasons why Victor likes Philip.

He has not changed his name to Philip's "father", and he must feel sad in his heart.She thought that there was no need for her to get married, but for the sake of Victor and Cynthia, it was best to find a suitable man to marry.

well!so difficult!

In this era, it is difficult for a girl who lost her mother to find a suitable husband, and she will be picked on by others and not well-educated; it is difficult for a child without a father, regardless of gender, to find a suitable marriage partner, because it is difficult for a widow to keep property, Tyron The two younger brothers of the Te family have not yet had any dispute over family property, mainly because Stanley and Ryan are still young, unmarried, and have no family of their own.

Ryan doesn't care too much as long as he has money to spend on him. Stanley feels that he may die at any time, and has no idea about private property.The two younger sisters were brought up to be very virtuous, they are typical gentle ladies,

There are not many bad things in the Tarent family, which is also the decisive factor for her to think that Philip will be a good husband after learning about the dispositions of the younger brothers and sisters of the Tarent family.The wits with the Hastings relatives had used up all her patience, and she didn't want to get herself into trouble.

Children are lovely, enough to offset the troubles of raising children, and if you have money, you can minimize these troubles.

She is also a very witty sister-in-law. Her younger siblings don’t make trouble for her. She is also very generous in terms of money. She didn’t touch a penny of the annuity that Philip gave to his younger siblings and widowed mother. She also promised that the two girls would get a little more when they got married. Dowry, both girls take the same amount of dowry, try to level the bowl of water.

The old Mrs. Tarent doted on her young daughter, and her little sister Margaret would get a dowry from her mother when she got married in the future; Annabel might not get an extra dowry from her mother, and Josephine planned to give some more cash in private.When a girl gets married, she has more confidence when she has money in her hand.

The biggest problem with the two girls is that they are well-bred, and they don't quarrel all day like Scarlett and Sullen. Karin is very similar to the two Miss Talent, gentle and kind.

Thinking of this, she worried about Su Lun and Karin again. They didn't know what disease they had, and Rhett's letter had mentioned them all without explaining what disease it was.Since it was picked up from the poor whites, it was probably tuberculosis?They haven't eaten well in the past few years. Most of the girls will be a little anemic, and they don't have enough to eat. Isn't that malnutrition?It is also very simple to be cured. Eat enough food and improve the accommodation conditions, and most of them can still be cured.

She called Sheldon and asked him if he would go south.Rhett has joined the army, but his boat is still there, but who is in charge now, and it should be no problem to spend money to do things.

Sheldon has gained a lot of knowledge in the past few years, and her ability to handle affairs is also strong, so she is worried about handing it over to others.

"Madam, I can take a trip, but don't have too much hope. I heard from Mr. Butler that now regardless of the Southern Army and the Northern Army, black people will be arrested and enlisted in the army when they see them. If I don't come back for a long time, probably was taken away."

Josephine didn't think about this, she was stunned for a moment, and said anxiously: "Indeed... But you still have to go, be careful, and bring a few people with you. You can hire a few people to go with you. Go to Charleston first , look at Aunt Pauline and Aunt Eulalie, and take a letter to Aunt Eulalie."

Give the letter written by Eulalie's three children to Sheldon, "Ask Aunt Eulalie to get you a carriage and bring more food. It's more convenient to bring more canned meat."

Meatloaf and green beans in tin cans, potatoes in bags, lots of vegetable seeds of different kinds, food is scarce, most of Pauline's farm is deserted, but vegetables can still be grown, and some potatoes are cut into pieces for seeds , is better than nothing; Eulali's family can be planted in gardens and flower pots, but she really doesn't care whether it can be planted or not.

Send some money...mainly gold coins, the south can't use the paper money from the north, and the paper money in the south is already equivalent to waste paper, so gold coins are still reliable.

John is not here, and the proceeds from the island of the Bahamas are all sent to Boston for her disposal. Now it is not a question of how much money is spent, but a question of whether it can be sent in.Vegetable seeds have been delivered before, about once every six months, and Aunt Pauline proudly said that she has planted a lot of vegetables in her letter.Yu Lali didn't mention it in her letter, and it is estimated that the vegetable farming business is not very optimistic. If her family does not have black people who can grow vegetables, it will be really difficult.

Shelton set off, and wrote a letter two weeks later, still a rogue-like young man delivered the letter to Percy at the New York pier, and then Percy sent the letter to Boston.

Pauline and Eulalie's family is safe and sound for the time being, and the main battlefield is not in Charleston.

Mama Hei was still guarding the old house in Savannah, keeping the house in check, but she had no money, so she had to sell the remaining silverware.This was allowed by Charles the last time he went back, but Mama Hei still felt that she was sorry for his wife, and she would be sad when she came back.

Mother Hei's mentality of thinking about her master is also gone.

Emile didn't care about those extraneous things at all.She has experienced from being rich to declining, and from France to the United States since she was a child, and she is very open to things outside her body.This is also because the Robillard family is not really at the end of the road, at least they still have income from the small island of the Bahamas, so they don't care too much if they still have money.

Josephine thought that if Emile was placed in a place like Tara Manor, she might also become a key figure like Ellen.

Emile was lucky. Her growing environment was not very good, but she never lived a life without enough food and clothing.She was born a noble lady and became a rich lady after marriage. If she really wants her to be a "good host" like Aunt Ellen, it's not impossible for her to do it, but why bother?

Annabelle and Margaret often come here. The two young girls love their little niece the most, and they will miss them very much if they don't see each other every day.They reached the age of a private girls' school a few years ago, but because the old Mrs. Tarent was reluctant to let her daughters leave home, now they hired tutors to teach them some knowledge, mainly literature and art, mathematics, physics and chemistry at all, a little bit knowledge of geography.

Miss North wants to learn music, and she needs to be able to play a few piano pieces, so that she can show off her talents when guests come to the house, and families like the Tarent family are no exception; It's better to take a break, or you will be considered too fit or too immodest.

It's not easy being a girl. You can't be "too healthy", but you can't be unhealthy either. You will be talked about behind your back at every turn. It's too clumsy not to dance, and it's too unreserved to dance all night.Boys don't have these scruples, they can jump whenever they want.

The family calls Annabelle's pet name "Anna". Anna is almost 18 years old and is looking for a suitable husband, but because her father and elder brother have passed away, it is difficult to find a suitable candidate.

These upper-class families in Boston intermarry, and there are still many candidates, but if you have three handsome and lovely older brothers, it is not easy to find a husband who can be comparable to your older brothers.The family background is acceptable, but the appearance may not be worthy; the family background and appearance are acceptable, but the age is inappropriate, either too young or too old.

Stanley has also talked to Anna several times in recent months about her marriage, saying that although Anna’s husband can be over 30 years old, it’s better not to be too old. Men who are too old are probably not very interesting. There is a possibility of early death.

Anna herself didn't have any favorite candidates. Josephine asked her if she liked any young master, and she said flatly, "No."

"Is there a boy or a man who likes you? You're Miss Talent. I don't believe that anyone likes you."

Margaret—Maggie smiled furtively, "Yes, yes, who is it? Let me think about it."

Anna glanced at her, "No, don't tell Josephine those shadowless things."

Maggie smiled and said, "He has visited several times, why haven't you agreed to go out with him?"

Josephine looked at Anna carefully: The children of the Tarent family are all good-looking, handsome men and beautiful women, Anna and Maggie are the most virtuous wives and mothers in this era with gentle looks, plus the family background of the Tarent family, originally It should be easy to find a suitable husband.

The marriage of two girls is a major event in the family. If the marriage is not good, it will be very bad, and there will be countless troubles in the future. Philip mentioned the marriage of the two younger sisters several times before his death. He is the eldest brother, of course he has to choose for the younger sisters. A suitable husband also mentioned a few names, but she didn't take it to heart at the time, so no matter how hard she recalls now, she can't remember those names.

It was supposed to be old Mrs. Tarent's concern about their marriage now, but she didn't seem to be very concerned, or at least not very concerned about Anna.

Stanley, the second brother, secretly observed a few candidates, and gave the information to Josephine, asking her to check these candidates.Josephine didn't want to take trouble at first, but Stanley said very seriously that if the younger sisters marry an inappropriate husband, there will be too many troubles in the future. Brother and sister-in-law should try to avoid this situation as much as possible.

She thought about it for a while when Charles thought Hastings was not suitable to be her husband, but he praised Philip a lot. She thought that a serious and responsible brother should really think about it.

You have to consider Anna's opinion. Marriage in this era already needs to consider "love", not just marrying and having children for the sake of family status and family succession.
