Be the C heroine in a famous book [Quick Transmigration]

=========================

The bazaar was very grand, and the ladies brought almost all the candles and candlesticks in Atlanta, decorated them with various flowers, and the dance hall was filled with the fragrance of flowers.

Placed at the forefront is a portrait of Confederate President Davis, to whom most of the flowers are dedicated.

But there are still some flowers on the heads of the ladies.

Everyone listened to the band playing and sang "Beautiful Blue Flag" together. Everyone sang goosebumps, full of enthusiasm, and sang for the south and victory.

Scarlett was still in mourning, and under the opposition of Aunt Pitty, she tried her best to win the opportunity to participate in the bazaar.

She and Melanie were in charge of a booth, listening to the long-lost music, almost dancing with excitement.

But she noticed that in the ballroom, there was a group of half-grown children standing in front of two booths, singing together, which was so weird.

"Who are they, Melanie? Did Mrs. Merry send them here?" Scarlett asked in a low voice.

Melanie had just finished singing, and like everyone else in the hall, there were still tears of excitement in her eyes, and her heart was still stuck in the pride of the South.

Hearing Scarlett's question at this time, she stared blankly at the children not far away, her eyes immediately softened, with a trace of excitement that hadn't dissipated in time: "Yes, that's from the Association of Heroes and Orphans. Boys, isn't Mr. Butler generous enough to have organized this society to feed and clothe them?"

Mr. Butler?Scarlett froze for a moment, and asked, "Su Lun's husband, Butler?"

"Yes, my dear, he is still your brother-in-law. You are all lovely people." Melanie looked at her with gentle and encouraging eyes as she spoke. Scarlett immediately averted her most unbearable eyes.

"Let's go and see, maybe the children need something? They're lovely, aren't they?" Melanie said, taking her hand.

Scarlett was very resistant in her heart, but she held her against her will and walked in front of the children together.

Melanie received a warm welcome from the moment she was among the children, for she was one of the most caring persons, gentle and kind, and everyone liked her very much.

Scarlett got impatient as the children chattered to Melanie.

She had never liked children, and Wade, whom she had with Chavez, was raised by Melanie and Aunt Pitty, and she often forgot that she had a child.

At this time, there was another commotion in the crowd, everyone looked towards the door, the children cheered and walked over there, and Scarlett also looked over.

It was the Butlers, who were shaking hands and talking to the crowd, looking very popular.

Mr. Butler seems to be different. He used to look like a pirate, strong and a bit savage, not in line with Scarlett's aesthetics at all. She only likes elegant gentlemen like Ashley.

But seeing him this time, he changed a lot.

At this moment, he was wearing a red military uniform, which was ironed very neatly. There was a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were serious, and he looked like a real gentleman.

On his arm was a petite woman, who looked plump but had a good complexion, her skin was rosy and fair, and Scarlett felt a little jealous.

Of course, what made her most jealous was the blue silk dress on her body, which shone under the light. Compared with the black widow dress she was wearing, she wanted to vomit blood.

What made her even more depressed was that the woman she was jealous of was Su Lun, her sister who had been mistreated since she was a child, an idiot who could only study, but now she became famous.

Su Lun quickly saw Scarlett, and by seeing her indignant expression, she knew what she was thinking.

Scarlett is most concerned about dressing and the prom now, and she must have taken a fancy to her skirt.

At this moment, both Melanie and Scarlett came to her side, and Melanie kissed her on the cheek with a soft voice: "Honey, are you okay?"

"It's not bad, but the child is a bit lively and doesn't sleep well at night." Su Lun smiled softly, and touched her belly hidden under the wide skirt.

"Honey, you look so beautiful." Melanie was caught by her gentle smile, and then envied, "I really envy you, you will have a child to accompany you soon."

Su Lun's eyes flickered, and he realized that Melanie really wanted a child so much, no wonder she would die in the original book to conceive a child.

Even though the doctor had said that she was not suitable for another pregnancy, Melanie still got pregnant again and put her own life on the line. Su Lun couldn't understand her behavior.

If she did nothing and Melanie got pregnant according to the original plot, and the war happened when she gave birth, who would care about her?She thought about withdrawing her from Atlanta early, but not to mention that it was difficult to operate, and the situation was unknown when she went to other places.

"System, give her three years of infertility." Su Lun originally thought that five years would be better, after all, the economic conditions were better then.But seeing that she was going crazy thinking about the child, maybe three years, when the war was over and her life was not in danger.

At this time, Scarlett kissed her on the face like Melanie, but she didn't seem to care too much.Su Lun chatted with her for a few words, and they chatted to death. They never had anything in common.

"Mrs. Butler, why don't you go to the side and take a rest?" Rhett reminded with a smile after watching them greet them just now.

"Where is your booth? I'll take a look later." Su Lun asked.

Melanie pointed out the booth to her, and Su Lun memorized the location, and took Rhett's arm to sit beside her.

At this time, there was a noise on the stage, and the leader of the militia ordered all the self-defense members to line up, and then they performed an ordinary drill, which won everyone's applause.

Su Lun watched Reid standing in the line and acting awkwardly, and he was afraid to look directly.Rhett seemed to catch her gaze and blinked, a little playfully.

At this time, Su Lun saw that some ladies looked strange, their faces were white and red, and they looked at Melanie, and saw that she seemed to be saying something angrily.

Su Lun looked at the militia, and then at the wives. They all had relatives in the militia, so it should be Melanie who expressed her dissatisfaction with the militia?

Melanie is indeed qualified to do this. Her brother died in battle, and her husband is fighting desperately on the battlefield. Of course, she will be dissatisfied with the militiamen who are greedy for life and afraid of death.

Yes, don't look at Rhett joining the army as if he had a convulsion, but the militia generally don't need to go to the battlefield, it is a relatively wretched way to join the army.

Joining the army, plus raising the orphans of martyrs, his reputation has improved a lot, and there is no risk, which is in line with his personality of an opportunist.

Although I don't know why he started to build his own reputation, the fact is that Reid has become a prominent figure in Atlanta, rich and famous.

"What are you looking at?" Reid came back at some point. He was standing behind her chair with his hands on the back of the chair. He was dressed in a red military uniform and looked a little flirtatious.

"I'm watching your performance, isn't it so heroic?" Su Lun's praise was exaggerated, and he didn't care about it at first sight.

Rhett laughed lightly, and said with a hint of self-mockery: "Forget it, Mrs. Barrett, it's just a child's trick, so don't come and make fun of me."

It can be seen that Reid doesn't care much about the militia. After all, he studied at West Point Military Academy and has seen real officers. Of course, he doesn't like these soldiers and generals.

It's just that unlike his alumni who charged on the battlefield, he lacks the spirit of self-dedication, and he has not awakened this spirit now, and is somewhat selfish.

"Let's go, kind wife, go and see what good things are there, donate some money appropriately, don't save for me." Reid said as he bent down, put his arms on her shoulders, and gently lifted her up .

Su Lun took his arm, looked around the booth, and found that the items on it were very single, and most of them were brought to the south by Rhett.

It is no wonder that the Northern Army has blocked the maritime trade lines of the South, and the South has not seen foreign goods for a long time.

Coupled with the fact that a large number of black slaves escaped, productivity declined, and the south continued to support the war, supplies were gradually scarce, and many families were struggling.

This time, the bazaar was something that everyone tried their best to scrape together, and the buyers were very supportive. As long as it was passable, they would pay for it, and the money would be used to support the army and the hospital.

"Honey, how is your business today?" Su Lun walked to the booth of the martyrs' orphans, picked up a handkerchief, and at a glance, she knew that it was embroidered by a child's family. She asked the price and bought it. down.

"It's not bad, Mrs. Butler, including yours, we sold it for fifty dollars today." The eldest child Nia replied immediately.

"So much? You are really capable. I will come back later and hope you can earn more." Su Lun said with a smile.

She was always gentle with children, not unlike Mrs. Wilkes in that.

Rhett looked at Su Lun and could already imagine how much she must love their children. This is exciting news, isn't it?So he laughed too.

Su Lun walked all the way through the stalls, buying more than a dozen things one after another.Rhett put them all in the woven basket he bought and carried them in his hand.

When Su Lun walked to the booth of Melanie and Scarlett, the volunteers carried a basket to accept donations, and everyone gave generously, and soon it was their turn.

Rhett puts the pocket watch in the basket, Suellen puts the gemstone earrings in, and notices that Melanie and Scarlett have taken off their wedding rings.

This is an impressive scene in the original book.Scarlett was completely dressed in black, and only her wedding ring could be donated. She almost forgot about Charles, so she donated the ring.

Scarlett herself felt nothing, but Melanie was deeply moved.She has always been self-oriented and only thinks of the best of others.I felt that Scarlett was very brave, so I followed her example and donated the wedding ring.

So at this moment, Melanie looked at the basket going away reluctantly, as if it took her soul away with it.

Because she loves Ashley deeply and cherishes their wedding token very much.

It was also a wedding ring, but for Scarlett, that ring was just a dispensable thing, she wished she had never been married.

At this time, Su Lun heard Rhett whisper: "It's a woman worthy of respect, isn't it?"

She looked at him sideways, and found that his eyes were very focused on Melanie, with a bit of reverence, and her heart moved.

So she said, "Melanie is a wonderful person, she's a classy person."

After she finished speaking, she carefully looked at Reid's expression, saw him smile, and agreed: "She is a rare classy person, I will go buy things back, wait for me."

Then, Su Lun watched Rhett go to the volunteers and exchanged the two rings with gold coins.

He quickly returned to her side, and once again greeted her with care, as if the incident just now hadn't happened.

Su Lun didn't know why, and became depressed.

Rhett really admired Melanie, she thought.

However, Melanie is a woman worthy of respect, and most women are inferior to her. It is normal for Rhett to look at her differently.

Doesn't she even like Melanie very much?She put aside the boring association just now and returned to the ball.

The charity bazaar will soon enter the second stage. Dr. Meade continues the tradition and holds a ball auction. Every man who invites a dancer has to bid, and the one with the highest bid will get the chance to dance.

Compared with last year, everyone has accepted this violation of church rules, and everyone shouted prices in an endless stream, and the atmosphere was enthusiastic.

This was Scarlett's first time participating in this kind of dance, and she suddenly became excited.But she soon realized that no one would ask her to dance, she was dressed in black and as dark as a crow.

Who asks a widow to dance?So many unmarried young girls, they can't take care of them.

Scarlett jumped up involuntarily when the waltz music sounded.Fortunately, there was a long curtain in front of her, and no one noticed her restless behavior.

Because she was pregnant, Su Lun hadn't danced for a long time. She looked at the happy crowd with envy.

When Rhett saw it, he said, "Mrs. Butler, why don't we dance down?"

Su Lun looked at him in shock. Is this man stupid?Pregnant women can't dance this kind of strenuous dance, and they will have a miscarriage.

She immediately denied: "No, I can't dance."

Rhett raised his eyebrows, and said, "How about I dance for you?"

What's the meaning?Su Lun looked at him suspiciously. He smiled smugly, and stepped back to the edge of the dance floor alone, making sure that she could see him. Then he stood still, stretched out his hand, and danced to the music as if there was a person in his arms.

It was so silly that Su Lun couldn't bear to look directly at it.

The person next to them looked at them strangely, but he smiled at her while dancing as if he didn't see it.

Su Lun really wanted to tell him to stop, but he didn't know why, so he forced himself to watch it.

At this time, the first dance was over, everyone looked at them jokingly, and some even applauded.

"How is it? Did you dance well?" Rhett came to her side, smiling triumphantly, showing his big white teeth.

"You did this suddenly, and everyone is looking at us." Su Lun blushed, his eyes wandered, and he didn't dare to look at other people's eyes.

"They are envious of us. They envy me for having such a beautiful wife, and they envy you for having such a handsome husband." Rhett didn't care, and stroked his beard.

"Well, I can't say no to you, but don't jump anymore, or they will go crazy with envy." Su Lun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and simply took his words to fight back.

The two bickered for a while, and Su Lun didn't realize that he was unknowingly happy, and he was no longer disappointed because he couldn't dance.
