Southern Rose [Gone with the Wind]

A "big bargain" like Alaska is also unexpected. Russia is eager to get rid of it, but looking at the world, only the United States can win it. Canada is a Commonwealth country. Russia does not want Britain to get a piece of land next to Russian territory. Other European countries are too far away and difficult to manage. Only the United States is the most suitable because of its unique advantages.

However, if you can't buy Alaska, you can still think of other ways.Alaska is larger than all the current states in the United States, and it contains rich mineral resources, but no one knows it now.After the U.S. government bought Alaska, she can definitely buy the mining rights of the entire territory of Alaska at a very cheap price, which is an unexpected wealth!

She is not going to tell anyone about this lucrative way of making money, at least not for now.

Thomas was eager to get married and urged his staff to prepare for the wedding ahead of schedule. The wedding date was a week earlier than the first day of February originally scheduled.

During this period, the old Mrs. Tarent came to visit, sadly recalling her perfect eldest son Philip, lamenting Philip's misfortune, poor little Cynthia no longer remembers his father's appearance.

Josephine was perfunctory to old Mrs. Tarent.

"I can't stop you from getting married, you're still young." Old Mrs. Tarent said hypocritically: "It's really too much for you to be alone at such a young age. It's just that I want to take Cynthia back to live for a few years , after all, she is a descendant of the Tarent family."

Josephine looked at old Mrs. Tarent displeasedly: What?Is this going to be busy fighting for custody? "I will arrange it, you don't have to worry about it."

"You have to keep Cynthia's property." The old Mrs. Tarent said as gently as possible, a little cautiously.

"Don't worry, I won't take away the child's property. Didn't I leave it to Stanley to take care of it? Stanley came over last week, and I have discussed the American industry with him."

The old Mrs. Talent had nothing to say. Stanley came last week specifically for the property of the Talent family, and it was Josephine who proposed it on her own initiative.A trust fund was set up for Cynthia, and more than half of the property left by Philip was allocated into the trust fund. Stanley and Ryan were the guardians of Cynthia's property, and they distributed ten points of dividends every year, earning more.An annuity was added to Annabelle and Margaret, $500 a year, and the dowry was also increased.

The old Mrs. Talent is not shrewd, and she is not difficult to get along with. The Talents did not embarrass their mother and daughter for property, so she is willing to give up some property appropriately. And so on, it's hard for the Talents to make irresponsible remarks.

After all, without a husband, without that blood relationship, all that is left is money.

Josephine promised Cynthia to live in Boston for three to six months a year, and old Mrs. Tarent returned with satisfaction.In fact, it is impossible for the ex-mother-in-law to prevent the widowed daughter-in-law from remarrying, so it is about money and granddaughter.Cynthia is the only third generation of the Tarent family and the child left by Philip. The old Mrs. Tarent is afraid that Josephine will take her granddaughter to Europe and not come back for more than ten years.

The honeymoon can't bring the children, and the children can't stay in New York, and there are no adults around, so I discussed with Stanley that the children will go back to Boston for a short stay, but they didn't say how long they will stay in Europe.Josephine’s plan was to go to Europe to meet her parents, older brother and sister-in-law first. The civil war would end this year. She didn’t remember clearly, but it seemed that it was the first half of the year, and her sister-in-law was about to give birth, and her parents would return to the United States by then.

She wrote a letter to her father two months ago to tell her father that Aunt Ellen had passed away. John was heartbroken. He suffered a serious illness and gradually recovered after the New Year. In addition, she notified her parents too late, and they had no time to return to New York. attend a wedding.Emile wrote again, saying that it was not good for her to marry without both her parents and the man's father.

Josephine wrote a reply letter, coaxing her mother sweetly, saying that it doesn't matter if she doesn't want the title, the most important thing is that Thomas really loves her, and after waiting for her for five years, it can be regarded as a deep affection.She actually forgot to tell her mother that Thomas was engaged twice, but both fiancées unfortunately passed away before they got married.

Hey!Maybe Emile would think that they could "fight poison with fire".

The wedding was very simple, only a few dozen people attended the wedding, most of them were neighbors nearby.

The wedding was held at the hotel and a Catholic priest was invited to preside over the wedding.The wedding reception was also held at the hotel, but the newlyweds did not attend their own reception.

The rich are self-willed, the guests murmured that the bride is extremely beautiful, even a woman who has been married for the third time, she is still coveted; the groom is too mysterious, it is said that he is a prince from a certain European country, rich as hell , personable.

Josephine thinks it's okay, as long as she doesn't bother her as a bride, it doesn't matter how many times she gets married.

Thomas, on the other hand, was in high spirits all day and couldn't be happier.

Money does bring more happiness.

He booked the entire hotel, and the guest rooms were vacated a few days ago to accommodate individual guests. The guests don't have to rush home in the middle of the night, and can stay in the hotel.

Both Victor and Cynthia attended the wedding, and Cynthia, the little flower girl, walked in front of her mother, picking rose petals from the little flower basket and scattering them on the carpet.She was wearing a pink skirt, her face was round and pink, she was a cute little angel.Victor is a handsome young man in a suit with a serious expression on his face.

The guests all thought that although the bride is already the mother of two children, she still looks like a young girl; the groom is happy to be a father, and having two such lovely children at his fingertips, it would be great to have his own children in the future .

The newlyweds dined in their room, Thomas went downstairs for a smoke, and Josephine went to see the children and arranged for them to go to bed early.

Cynthia seemed to have just realized, and asked cryingly: "Is it because I can't sleep with you anymore?"

"You've grown up, you can't always sleep with your mother." Josephine patted her daughter's little head.

"I don't want it!" The little man shook his head resolutely, "I want to be with my mother, every day."

"Okay. Now, go to sleep."

"I want my mother to kiss me."

Josephine kissed the top of the little figure's head, then her forehead again, "Go to sleep, my darling."

In the middle of the night, someone knocked on the door, "Josephine! Josephine!"

It's Ryan Talent.

Of course, the Tarent family would not come to her wedding. Josephine had agreed with Stanley that she would personally send the children to Boston before the honeymoon.Stanley was also very understanding and sent Ryan to inspect the railway line, and he would not return for a month.

Why did Ryan suddenly run back?

Josephine was very surprised. Just as she was about to get up, Thomas held her down and said, "Go to sleep, I'll take care of this kind of thing."

She was having a headache, "What is he doing?" The upper class people always talk about posture, but now Ryan has left his demeanor and posture out of the blue.

Thomas lit the kerosene lamp and smiled at her, "What? He can't get you, and he's resentful."

"He won't challenge you to a duel?"

"Am I afraid of a duel?" He said contemptuously, "This is our men's business, don't worry."

The author has something to say: the author will not start a new book until he has finished all the articles that have already been VIP, and he will publish "Little Miss Borgia" at the end of September or early October.
