[Gone with the Wind] Parallel Time and Space

Chapter3 Expulsion

After dressing up well, Scarlett went to Tarleton Manor first in order to fulfill the lie she had just casually told to Mama Hei. She proposed to go to the Twelve Rubber Plantation almost as soon as she met Stuart and Brent.

"Hey, Scarlett, you already know? Haha, we've got to check it out." Stuart happily agreed, and Brent followed suit.Now it was Scarlett's turn to be puzzled.She didn't know what she was supposed to know.

However, Scarlett remembered when she arrived at Twelve Rubber Plantations. A few days ago, Ashley came to visit her home and mentioned that she was going to study in Europe today, and she would not be back until three years later.Scarlett didn't feel much about not seeing Ashley for three years, except that she was a little envious. She also wanted to go to Europe, and she had never been out of Georgia.It reminded her of Rhett, who was from Charleston, traveled a lot, and had returned from a study tour in Europe long before she met Scarlett.Besides that, he rides a horse well.Best ride.

Ashley Wilkes, with his golden hair, smiled through his cloudy gray eyes and ruffled Scarlett's hair. "You look so beautiful today, Scarlett."

Scarlett gave him a big smile back, she was happy, she was always happy when she heard compliments.But at the same time very anxious, she had spent the morning at Twelve Rubber Plantations, and now Ashley was finally leaving.I don't know if Brother Rhett has arrived.Ashley's younger sister Honey, India, father John, mother, friends, servants, etc. all stood at the gate of Twelve Rubber Plantations to see Ashley off.Scarlett was really anxious, and it seemed that they would never finish their goodbyes.

When the wheels of the carriage rolled up dust and Ashley was waving to relatives and friends in the carriage, the sun was shining brightly and hanging in the middle of the sky.

When Scarlett finally arrived at the agreed meeting place with Rhett, Sun only tilted his head slightly.But Scarlett didn't see Rhett.She looked around, expecting to find him, as usual, behind some tree trunk, in some grass, taking a nap.

Scarlett remembered that once she came late and didn't see him waiting for her in the usual place, her heart felt empty and she searched everywhere.Later, under an inconspicuous tree, he was found lazily leaning against the tree trunk, with his hat covering his face, his hands folded behind his head, and he was sleeping soundly.Little Scarlett immediately became angry, but started to cry.The crying woke Rhett up. He held her small body in his arms, wiped away her tears, patted her on the back, and asked her softly: "Baby, don't cry, tell me, What’s wrong with you?"

Little Scarlett buried her head on Rhett's chest and said, "I thought you were gone."

God knows Rhett Butler's heart is going to melt.

So this time, Scarlett looked around, carefully looking for almost every piece of grass and every tree nearby.But this time she was not so lucky.She can't find him.

Scarlett panicked.

But she suddenly heard the voices of clusters in the grass behind her, ah, he is behind me.Scarlett looked back, but was disappointed, it was Su Allen.

Ellen Robillard Since the death of her cousin Philip Robillard, she has closed her heart. To be honest, she knows that she is dead, and there is no trace of life in her body. .For a while she hated her father, Pauline, and Eulalie for driving away the people she loved, and she even thought about becoming a nun at the convent in Charleston.After marrying Gerald O'Hara, she cast herself in the role of an angel.Everyone in the county knows what a capable person Mrs. O'Hara is. She is always calm and calm.She also bore five children, two boys died and three girls survived.Although as a mother, she should love each of her children equally, but to be honest, she probably loves her eldest daughter - Scarlett O'Hara more, because she has the freshness that she lost in her body, she sees To his own shadow.When educating her children, how to teach them how to be a decent "lady" under the rules of this era, she is always worried.Scarlett is different from Karin and Su Allen, she can't tell, but she just can't bear to suppress her, especially her temperament.

Su Allen and Scarlett had a big fight, and Ellen really had a headache.The relationship between Scarlett and her two younger sisters is not very good. Mr. O'Hara thinks it's nothing, just a quarrel between children, but Ellen understands that this is the opposite of two personalities.In fact, Ellen didn't know it until his death. This is not only the opposition of two personalities, but also the opposition of two eras.Su Allen pointed out that Scarlett was indiscreet and met a strange man; Scarlett denied it.Ellen felt that if this was true, it would be serious indeed.It would ruin her reputation and ruin her life.She seriously warned Sue Ellen not to spread the word and decided to have a good talk with Scarlett.Ellen had that confidence that her older daughter would be on her lap and talk to her about it.She decided to sleep in Scarlett's room tonight, but she didn't see Scarlett in the room after a busy day's work.In fact, the whole of Tara was missing her.

Ellen never wanted to experience that night again.It was raining heavily that night, with lightning and thunder, and everyone in Tara Manor except Sue Ellen and Karin—they were all asked to stay in the room to find Scarlett.The sound of rain mixed with human voices, and the sound of rain covered human voices.They searched for a long time, and finally, Ellen was able to hug little Scarlett.She was drenched all over, her little face was pale, and when she saw Ellen, she called softly: "Mom."

Ellen hurriedly agreed: "Hey, I'm here, baby."

"Don't scold me, Mom. Don't be disappointed in me, Mom."

Ellen hugged her baby tightly: "No, honey, I'm proud to have you, baby. I have to have you, baby."

At that moment, Ellen felt that she was alive again.Because she is distressed.for her children.Because she knew that there must be a man who touched her child's heart.She wasn't sure if it was love or what, but it must be unusual.Ellen also clearly understood that Scarlett was afraid that she would disappoint her.Her daughter respects her and loves her.It comforted her.In the second half of life, there were always other colors, other colors than Philip's.

Ellen has never been able to find out who the man was. She had guessed whether it was Ashley Wilkes, because Ashley left on the same day, and Scarlett also went to see him off.But one afternoon two months later, Ellen found the answer.

She rarely had free time that afternoon, so she sat drinking afternoon tea in the garden of Tara Manor, with Mammy sitting next to her.They chatted, as usual.The only one who can understand her since she was a child is Mama Hei.They talked a lot, about her sister Eulalie.Black mothers learned of a major event in Charleston through their black information network.

"Two months ago, Rhett Butler, the eldest son of the Butler family, was kicked out of the family. His father crossed his name from the Bible," Mammy said.

This news was not a secret for a long time, so it was not surprising that Scarlett heard about it. A few days later, Scarlett cleverly asked Mama Hei about it, but she was rejected because it was not something a girl should hear.

This information is just information to Ellen, but not to Scarlett.

Ellen got it.
