Southern Rose [Gone with the Wind]

Butler, a prisoner, lives well. He has a single cell, wears a clean white shirt and suit, and has sleek hair. He can also order takeaway, play cards with the guards, and deliberately lose money to them. The treatment is quite good.

The guard was also very considerate, as long as he stuffed enough money, he let the young lady in.

Rhett had a playful smile on his face, "Others would think I have many younger sisters." Scarlett came in pretending to be his "sister".

Josephine smiled slightly, "I don't need to explain to others who I am to you."

"Ah—" Rhett nodded clearly, "Indeed, you don't need to explain at all. No one can refuse you with your beautiful face. Then, dear wife, you are finally here."

He looked at Josephine from top to bottom with a wild, naked look: Scarlett wore a dark green velvet dress today to match her emerald eyes. and Josephine in a turquoise satin dress with a silver-gray fur collar around her shoulders.The wide skirt perfectly sets off her slender waist. It is impossible to imagine that she is already the mother of three children.

She is young, beautiful, slender, graceful, and very rich, and she has a calm and indifferent atmosphere in any situation, so she always looks high and untouchable.

He thought about what kind of body should be under the gorgeous skirt, it must be charming, perfect and alluring.He imagined that one day he could hold her, kiss her, and spend a wonderful life with her——

"I thought you felt that you would not live long."

Rhett smiled. "Maybe, maybe. I'm so glad you're here, Josephine."

"So, you should have something to tell me?"

He laughed again, "My God! It's so fun to talk to you! You never go around the bush, and you don't look like a southern lady at all." Southern ladies were taught never to ask directly, and Josephine just didn't learn this. one move.

"Is it Scarlett? She's going round and round to ask you to borrow money, and you'd rather lose it to your guard than lend it to her?"

"That can't be helped. I can issue an IOU if I lose money, but Scarlett asked me to borrow cash. Ma'am, look at where I am now, where can I find 300 yuan for her?"

"I gave you 5000 yuan worth of gold! If she gets the money, she doesn't need to borrow money from you!" Josephine raised her voice slightly.

Rhett finally showed shame at this moment, "Sorry, the person I found was unreliable, I took the money and ran away, and I haven't had time to go to Tara since then."

"Excuse! You have traveled to New York several times, why can't you make a trip to Tara." She made a sudden understanding expression, "You did it on purpose, do you just want to see Scarlett wronging herself for money and begging?" you?"

Rhett was taken aback, "No, I never have such an idea."

He frowned and thought for a while, "I should be able to leave the prison soon, and I will return the gold to you." Seeing Josephine's mocking expression, he quickly added, "plus interest. As for Miss Scarlett, I'm sorry, this is my fault, and I will also give her a compensation so that she will not be embarrassed by the 300 yuan tax."

The dog man knows what is good and what is bad.

"Give her $5000."

"No problem." Rhett agreed.

"You don't want my help, do you? You have to figure it out, I won't do anything for you." The magic weapon to win in love is never to do things for the other party, but to ask the other party to do things for you; when the other party pays more and more for you The more you have, the more you will be unable to extricate yourself, because you pay too much and don't get the reward you deserve, and you are absolutely unwilling.

"No." He smiled good-naturedly, "I have told Jeff to do something for me, and I won't bother you. Mrs. Talent, Josephine..."

"Why do you never call me 'Mrs. Wolfe'?"

Rhett gave that meaningful smile again, "'Mrs. Wolfe'? Do you really think you're Mrs. Wolfe already?"

Josephine asked in surprise, "What are you talking about?"

"You'll know. You never actually married Mr. Wolfe, you've always been 'Mrs. Tellent.' You'll still be Philip Tellent when Mr. Stanley Tellent gets it over with." Special widow."

Josephine quickly recalled what harm the Tarent family could do to her, but after much deliberation, she couldn't figure it out, so her expression was unusually perplexed.

Rhett Butler smiled very proudly, "Dear Josephine, Mr. Wolf may never show up, and you are still a widow..."

He was immediately slapped across the face.

"It was you!" Josephine suddenly realized, "It was you who injured Thomas on the pier! Did you kill him?!"

Rhett touched the left side of his cheek, "I did it, he's dead, you should give up."

He grabbed her raised hand again, "No. Josephine, I admire your character, admire your beauty, and long for your body, but you can't always say that and slap me. I am a man, and a man has self-respect."

Josephine spat at him, "Bah! Your pride is nothing! Who told you to kill him?!"

"I'm a speculator. When I see an opportunity, I will take advantage of it. Only after he dies can I have the opportunity to marry you. Josephine, mylove, I want to marry you, and I have been thinking about it for several years."

Josephine sneered, "You're daydreaming!"

"Sweet dreams are timeless," he said jokingly.

"I thought you loved Scarlett, you seduced her, otherwise how could she think you loved her?"

Ryan didn't speak for a while.

His dark pirate-like face carried the cynicism of a mature man, his thick mustache was carefully trimmed, and he looked as handsome as ever. He seemed to have suffered nothing. She thought he would be whipped.

"Scarlett... Indeed, I admit, I love her a little bit, I mean, I regard her as your sister."

Josephine sneered.

"Originally, I thought, if I can't get you, then it would be nice if I can get Scarlett. If she is willing to be my mistress—"

This time Josephine didn't slap him, but stomped on the back of his foot.

"You fart!" she said in crude slang for low-class people, but it didn't feel vulgar at all. "You are humiliating her, she should slap you severely! You are only worthy of the gallows!"

Rhett laughed, the slight pain in the back of his foot not affecting him at all.

Josephine got even angrier, "You bloody speculator!"

"Yes, I'm a speculator, you're right. I won't marry Scarlett because it can't influence me to marry you."

Josephine glared at him angrily, and was about to yell at him for how much he ate and wanted to eat, but he heard him say it quickly: "I have millions of dollars, and as long as you promise to marry me, the money will be all yours. "

Josephine was stunned: If there are millions of dollars in this era, it must be the gold reserves of the Confederacy.This amount of property is so huge that it can be called an astronomical figure, so she couldn't help being tempted.

She was shaken, "Thomas... is he really dead?"

"Totally dead."

"you swear."

"I swear."

"Your money is mine, and my money is mine."

"Of course." A victorious smile appeared on Rhett's face, "So, did you agree to my marriage proposal?"

"I won't think about it until I see the money." Josephine's right hand broke free from his palm, "You first think about how to get out of prison, and then think about how to hand over the money to me safely. I would consider marrying you."

On this day, Scarlett did not return to Tara until nightfall.

She was so tired, she had never felt so tired.But fortunately, she met Josephine, so her trip to Atlanta was not considered a failure.

Mama Hei warmly welcomes Miss Cousin to Tara, and directs Prissy, a little maid who knows nothing, to tidy up the room.The room in the house was originally the master bedroom of the master and the hostess, but now Mr. O'Hara lives in it; the three ladies each have a room, but when Su Lun and Karin are sick, Karin's bed is moved to Su Lun's room After that, Karin never moved back.

Melanie and Ashley now live in Karin's former room.

Mother Hei arranged the original guest room for Miss Biao. The room was very simple, with only a single bed, a desk, no curtains on the bed, and the mattress was not soft enough. It was really miserable.

Mrs. Jenkins was very disgusted, but she also understood that this was the best bedding Tara could come up with now, and Scarlett's bed was nothing more than that.

Josephine brought a whole carriage of food from Savannah, and the servants were all busy happily unloading, even the weak Karin helped.Although Su Lun is not willing to do physical labor, if it is the food specially given to her, she is willing to move her noble little arms and legs.

Tara doesn’t have a cook now, so she usually eats very simple food, and she can’t pay attention to it; Mrs. Jenkins is a housekeeper, and she basically doesn’t know how to cook; In the kitchen to cook, Prissy, who can hardly do anything, will help.

Josephine also brought some new clothes suitable for young gentlemen to Scarlett's son and Melanie's son. The two boys were both thin and weak, obviously malnourished. Josephine was both surprised and sad to see , and immediately said that she should cook some more food. Neither she nor Scarlett had dinner yet.

Ashley Wilkes, a thin young man whose gentlemanly demeanor had not been forgotten by the war, thanked Josephine politely and thanked Scarlett again for taking the family in.Twelve Oaks burned down, and his father and sister now lived in the surviving servants' house. He wanted to go home, but Scarlett insisted they stay, and Melanie was unwilling to leave Tara.

Josephine quickly understood that Scarlett didn't want them to leave because she wanted to see Ashley anytime; He didn't know that Scarlett loved or had loved Ashley until he died; as for whether Ashley loved Scarlett or not, he probably loved him, but he knew too well that Scarlett would not be a good wife and a good wife. mother, so she never considered marrying Scarlett.

As a result, now Ashley is biting the bullet and staying in Tara, trembling all day long, worried that his wife will understand Scarlett's love for him.

Josephine looked down on people like Ashley, but she was not as good as a scumbag like Rhett. Scarlett didn't have a good eye for men.

The author has something to say: Is Thomas really dead?

Who hurt/killed Thomas?

Why did Rhett say that Josephine was still "Mrs. Tarrant"?

Neither person is necessarily telling the truth.

Rhett sucks.

In the original book, Scarlett decided to go to see Rhett in prison. In fact, she thought that Rhett would be hanged or hanged soon after getting married. She would become a widow, and she could happily inherit Rhett’s million-dollar fortune. Tara and her own financial difficulties.
