[Gone with the Wind] Parallel Time and Space

Chapter31History

Rhett Butler deeply understands that for his wife, Scarlett O'Hara, there is no one in the world who knows, understands and agrees with her better than himself.But even he, Rhett Butler, sometimes disagrees with his wife, such as her obsession with Tara.He didn't understand why a selfish person like Scarlett—the word was a neutral word in his eyes—would rather put down her dignity and beg others than lose Tara.

"You can go to Aunt Pitty's house, half of the house is yours." He said this, but was scolded by Scarlett. "My God, are you a fool? That's Tara, it's our home, and I'm never gonna lose it while I'm alive! Never!"

Ultimately, Rhett blamed the Irish personality for this.And this woman of Irish descent has been living in Tara since they got married and finished their honeymoon-she didn't want to let go of her management job at Tara. "If someone would take Tara's job from me, I'd be happy to pass it on to someone else, because it's too heavy for me to breathe," she told him .

But when Rhett suggested that Scarlett entrust Will with full management of Tara's affairs, Scarlett flatly refused: "No, no..." And the excuse she gave that she was worried that Will could not manage well even made her I understand that I can't explain it.

As a husband who is willing to accommodate his wife, he has to let her stay in Tara, and he can't live in Tara, he can only come back often, because besides some business things, Atlanta has a house of their own that is being built , and Scarlett promised to move to Atlanta when the house was built.

Speaking of this house, the two of them have no ambiguity about building the house, but they have a lot of differences in the decoration style of the house.Rhett hoped to build a house with white and gray walls and iron railings like the local French buildings or a colonial house with six white columns.But Scarlett, she wanted the "latest style", and her little head had been reluctant to give up the idea since seeing a mock-up of a Swiss chalet house in the "Harhus Weekly".What kind of house is this?

On the roof, which is divided into two sections with different slopes, there is a railing on it, and there is a minaret at each end, which is covered with colorful wooden shingles.The windows on the steeple are inlaid with red and blue glass, there are zigzag railings on the cloister, and there are wooden cloud-shaped flower decorations hanging down from the edge of the cloister roof.And inside the house, you have to use red paper to paste the walls, use red velvet to make the door curtains, there are a lot of high-end walnut furniture, and you need gorgeous thick carpets...

In short, according to Scarlett, it was a house that could make people turn green with envy.

"Do you know what a house is for, baby." Rhett didn't intend to make this a question, because immediately after, he said to her, "Why don't we live our own lives?"

When Scarlett came to Atlanta to look at her house again, her heart was extremely complicated. It was a house that did not meet her expectations, but it was obvious that she liked it very much, especially when everyone was praising her. when the house.For the old nobles in Atlanta, it is necessary to pay attention to the lives of their old neighbors while maintaining their own lives, and to express their opinions and express concern when necessary.

When people walk into the house without knowing anything, but find out through some small details how rich the hostess of the house—Scarlett O’Hara—is, they will not feel offended, and Scarlett’s purpose is also Reached.

Since then, the Butlers have settled in Atlanta.

But Scarlett, as Mr. O'Hara's eldest daughter, is still Tara's mistress, and the final decision-making power for Tara's major affairs is still in her hands-this makes Su Allen very angry, but she can bear it , because Mr. Kennedy, her fiancé can marry her in at the end of the year, and people will call her "Mrs. Kennedy".Thinking of this, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep.In her eyes, apart from being a little older, Mr. Kennedy is much more decent than Mr. Butler, and he is also more of a gentleman.It would be a disgrace to the O'Hara family for her sister to marry a hooligan like Butler.

But she waited until the end of the year and unexpectedly learned that the wedding would need to be postponed. Mr. Kennedy wrote a letter saying that the lumber factory was about to close down, and he lost a lot of money. This was because her good sister Scarlett also set up a lumber factory.

Yes, Mrs. Butler owns a lumber mill.

"What? Scarlett opened a lumber factory?"

"A woman?"

"It's just... too indecent! To show your face like that..."

"Why doesn't Mr. Butler discipline him? It's a shame!"

"Don't forget, Mr. Butler is not a respectable man."

"But he .

"But if Captain Butler hadn't funded her, where would she have the money to set up a factory? Anyway, it's really...unbearable."

All the old-age women in Atlanta talked about Scarlett, and the men, who were very disdainful at first, couldn't help cursing after discovering that she had robbed them of countless orders.

As for Mr. Butler, he did not express his position to the outside world, but only said, "I am an uneducated person, and it is my honor to have a capable wife."

"Look, Rhett, Sue Ellen actually sent me a letter, and she accused me of stealing her fiancé's business! How ridiculous, the old man can't do business at all, and before the lumber mill started, I felt deeply that I could compare He did a better job, and it turns out that I did a better job as well, better than most of those men. And they just gossip behind their backs." Scarlett sat in front of the dressing table, Rhett Behind her, comb in hand.She looked into Rhett's eyes in the mirror, expecting him to say something to encourage her.

Scarlett knew that whenever she felt uncomfortable, she would speak it out and tell Rhett that he would always be able to relieve herself and find a reasonable reason for her immoral behavior.

Rhett did exactly that. "Scarlett, I know you well. Once you taste the sweetness of power, or more precisely, the recognition of your own abilities, you can't stop. Of course, I'm not advising you, on the contrary, I don't think you're doing a bad job as a business."

Scarlett smiled at the compliment.

"What you are going out to see now is a rejuvenating Atlanta. The influx of northerners and its revived industry represent a new society. And the new life of a society does not mean that the corresponding civilization can be born. Civilization It takes time, and you and I, we adapt to this society but can't cater to the old civilization, and the new civilization - the civilization that suits us is in the window period. There are only two consequences, compromise with them or they compromise with us .”

"I don't quite understand, Rhett." Scarlett turned around and grabbed Rhett's hand. "But I won't give in to them. Sometimes I really hate them because I'm not like them and they deal with what they've lost in a way that I can't and never want to. I hate They, hating these smiling, light-footed strangers, these proud fools, who take pride in what they've lost, as if they were proud of what they lost."

"The truth is, I'll never have their respect, I'll never fit in with them, I'll never... be an anomaly, I hate them, they hate me. It's me and nothing else that bores them .”

Scarlett's green eyes misted, and tears spilled from them. "Mother will disappoint me, Rhett. I violated my morals."

Rhett brushed away the tears with his hand, and under his palm was her wife's flushed cheek. "Don't cry, Scarlett, be brave, I will always be with you. Besides, words such as morality, justice, and truth have been the most erratic things since ancient times. We regard many false things as truth, and it has a Name, guess what?"

"What?" Scarlett's voice was still crying, and the men who were robbed of her business would never have thought that she had such a side.

"We call it history." 1

Rhett smiled when he saw her burst into tears. "For God's sake, when can you be serious. But this is... interesting."

"I'm serious, baby. But one thing, stop using convicts to do your work for you, we're still living in the old culture, still surrounded by them."

He bent down and kissed her forehead.
