[Gone with the Wind] Parallel Time and Space

Chapter 4 Sixteen

Scarlett was not pretty, but she had two features on her face, one was her mother's softness, which came from a seaside aristocrat of French descent; the other was her father's roughness, which came from a flashy Irishman, both The features are incongruously mixed together, but the pointed chin and square gums on this face are very noticeable. Her pale green eyes are pure without a trace of brown, with jet-black eyelashes and curled eyes. The corners of her raised eyes are full of charm, above which are two thick black eyebrows slanting there, drawing a very clear oblique line on her magnolia-like white skin.But when it comes to her, the boys of Clinton County put smiles on their faces.

oh!Scarlett O'Hara is a beautiful lady from a high-class family. Her every move and smile can drive me crazy.Among them, the two youngest sons of the Hamilton family are the most.

Stewart and Brent couldn't tell when Scarlett had started—the playmate they had played with since childhood had changed, she stopped climbing trees with them, she stopped playing pirate games with them, she stopped playing with them They race.Of course, they've grown up too, and they don't play that kind of child's game anymore, but the point is that they and Scarlett are no longer brothers.

At a banquet held by Tarleton's family, the two brothers suddenly discovered the beauty of Scarlett. The 16-year-old Scarlett was extremely beautiful.She smiled at them, the two dimples that came out when she smiled, and how sweet they were, those delicate green eyes so charming they swooned.So from that day on, the two brothers have been pursuing Scarlett. They always invite Scarlett to dance together.

They were now huddled around Scarlett, trying to convince her to let them do all the music for tomorrow's Wilkes ball.

"Of course no problem." Scarlett smiled sweetly, and when the two brothers were happy, they added "If no one invites me." The two brothers were annoyed for a while.

"Don't talk about this, let's talk about the fact that you were just expelled from the University of Georgia. This is the fourth university in two years. You have prevented Tom and Boyd from continuing to complete their studies." Scarlett corrected body.

"Well, he could go to Judge Parmaley's over there in Fayetteville to study law," said Brent casually.

"Besides, Scarlett, don't tell me you care about this? Didn't you also drop out of Fayetteville Girls' School last year?" Stuart was on the other side of Scarlett, stretching his neck in front of Scarlett .

Scarlett frowned, "That's different, they fired Mr. Green." She began to miss the teacher who had the same eye color as hers.

Scarlett kept the two brothers for dinner, sent them away, and went back to the room. After washing up, she sat in front of the dressing table. The girl in the mirror had a better face, and smiled at herself in the mirror, very satisfied appearance.She opened the drawer, and there were many letters in the drawer, most of which came from one owner—Melanie.

Melanie is Ashley's cousin. Like Scarlett, she is also a student of Fayetteville Girls' School. She is a short, kind, kind and fraternal woman.Her small body has a big heart and soft kindness.She loves reading as much as Ashley, but she won't say things that Scarlett can't understand like Ashley in front of Scarlett.

She took out the bottom copy, which was also the earliest one.

Dear Scarlett,

Zhan Xinjia.I'm writing to you right now from Aunt Pitty in Atlanta and will not be going back to school, same for me at home.I've been hesitant to write to you, but I'm really worried about you, and I've missed you terribly since being separated from Fayetteville schools.I don't know what's going on, okay?Are Mr. and Mrs. O'Hara blaming you for dropping out?If so, I would write to them and explain it to you, dear, I'm proud of you.Also, I want you to understand that I'm on your side.If you want to tell me anything in your heart, I will always be by your side, dear.

you sincerely

Melanie

This is the first letter Melanie wrote to her. It is not long, but after Scarlett’s reply, each letter gets longer and longer, talking about trivia and interesting things, although Melanie most of the time Everything she said was not to Scarlett's taste, but Scarlett would write back.Not just out of politeness, but more importantly, at that time, only Melanie stood by her side.

In a recent letter, Melanie told Scarlett about her engagement and her upcoming visit to Twelve Rubber Plantations.In addition, she also mentioned Rhett Butler.

"Honey, there's one more thing I think you need to know. Rhett Butler will also be going to Twelve Rubber Plantations that day."

Scarlett stroked the beautiful handwriting on the parchment, Rhett Butler?She stood up and walked to the window, suddenly felt so hot that she panicked and opened the window.It was pitch dark outside, and only the lights in the house could barely illuminate things—the bushes, the trees in the yard, the fence, etc.Suddenly, there seemed to be a figure behind the tree, and the shadow of that person was reflected on the bushes behind the tree.If you take a closer look, it doesn't look like a human shadow.Scarlett shook her head, trying to get the thoughts out of her mind.She thought it might be Rhett Butler.This is impossible, but why is it impossible?Maybe his conscience found out, and he knew that it was his fault to leave me without a word?He feels guilty?To be on the safe side, she left the window, worked and rested normally, and pretended to be proud.

oh!I am so stupid.

Early the next morning, Scarlett was urged to get up by the black mother, and she insisted on forcing Scarlett to eat something to prevent her lady from eating non-stop at the banquet, and they spent two hours dressing up , and then set out with Karin and Sue Ellen to Twelve Rubber Plantations with their father Gerald.Mother Ellen went to the Slatterys, and those dirty white folks called her away at dinner last night.

Scarlett got out of the carriage, greeted all the ladies and ladies, then left behind the younger sisters and went in first. Ashley walked towards him, and he gave Scarlett a decent gentlemanly smile. He looked very Happy.

"Scarlett, you're here."

Scarlett returned a friendly smile and said, "Yes, Ashley, how have you been lately?"

"It's great, it's the same as usual."

Scarlett remembered Ashley's study tour in Europe, which he had been there for about two years.One evening a year ago, when she had just dropped out of Fayetteville Girls, Scarlett was sitting on the front steps thinking of Mrs. Green.Suddenly she heard the sound of the horse's footsteps, her heart trembled, she stood up, staggered and almost fell, when she stood upright, she followed the sound of the horse's hooves, only to find that it was Ashley.He was on the horse, coming against the light, and the golden light sprinkled on his blond hair and on his shoulders.When he reached her, Ashley dismounted, took off his panama hat, bowed to Scarlett, and said, "You've grown up, Scarlett." Yes, I'm sixteen.That's like Rhett Butler.To be honest, Scarlett had hoped that meeting Rhett again would be as tender as this.However, the reality is not the case.

"Ah, Miss O'Hara, nice to meet you." Rhett Butler had his characteristic unscrupulous smile.It seems like everyone is a joke.
