[Gone with the Wind] Parallel Time and Space

Chapter7

"Yes, I object!" The man with a short mustache, a mouthful of white teeth and a Charleston accent was tall and straight. Standing at the end of the church, he slowly retracted his raised right hand, looking very calm down.In an instant, everyone turned their heads except the priest who was facing him.The priest was very annoyed, this was already the 11th time he had encountered a situation where there were people who objected after saying whether there was any objection.In the distribution of these eleven times, there were two times in the first 50 years, and nine times in the second half of life. There have been more and more in recent years, and the times are about to change.He was thinking about whether to omit this sentence on purpose the next time he presided over a wedding—he had to think about it every time he encountered it.In the end he decided to keep it, life needs fun.

Melanie covered her mouth in surprise, and she looked at Scarlett.Ashley frowned, he put Melanie's hand in the palm of his hand, and at the same time set his eyes on Scarlett.Charles looked embarrassed. He looked at his sister and parents, and then also focused on Scarlett. He tried to hold his fiancée's hand, but failed.

Scarlett looked at Rhett, and their eyes met in the air for a few seconds.She seemed to hear the voice of heaven, not only because the person who said it was Rhett Butler standing in the distance, but also because she had a slight hope of escaping this nonsensical marriage, and because... this is exciting, isn't it?It's like the plot in a novel, the heroine is about to get married, and the hero comes to snatch the marriage, or say he loves her at the wedding and asks her to go with him, and then they elope together.God... but for what it's worth, that didn't stop Scarlett from still deciding to taunt Rhett Butler hard when he said he loved her.At this moment she forgot that if this happened, her reputation would be ruined.

But Scarlett never understood him, Rhett Butler, as long as she knew him a little bit, she would understand that he would not give anyone this opportunity to mock herself.But this is understandable, after all, Scarlett doesn't even understand herself, or she has never tried to understand herself.

In fact, Ritter only learned the news yesterday, when he just returned to Atlanta from New Orleans, and met Mr. Kennedy at the train station. They chatted for a while, and Mr. Kennedy said that he was going to Ashley's wedding.Rhett didn't care, he didn't care about Ashley's wedding.One minute before Mr. Kennedy's train arrived at the station, he casually mentioned Hamilton's wedding, saying that he was going to marry a girl from Tara Manor.He praised the two couples as being well matched.

"Let me ask one more question, which lady from Tara Manor is he going to marry?" Rhett was a little flustered.

"Oh! You saw it at the barbecue at the Twelve Rubber Plantations. It's Mr. O'Hara's eldest daughter, Scarlett O'Hara." Mr. Kennedy was still smiling, and he waved to Rhett, carrying Say goodbye to him with a suitcase: "Then, goodbye."

Rhett Butler felt empty in his heart. He packed his luggage and returned to his residence. Along the way, he didn't look at the city with contemptuous and inquiring eyes—this was one of his usual pleasures.

That day he felt that the hotel waiter named Tom was particularly sloppy. "It's a miracle the hotel will hire you!"

The whiskey tasted particularly bitter to him. "That store should close down!"

He felt that the documents sent by his partner Walker were full of errors and omissions. "How did I cooperate with this idiot in the first place!"

After a bad day, he bought a train ticket for the night and went to the countryside, and finally caught up with the perfect time, so that...he didn't have time to think about anything.

Everyone looked at Rhett Butler with strange but curious eyes. "Which couple's marriage do you object to? Sir." the priest asked him.

"I object to Mr. Hamilton's marriage. Miss O'Hara should not marry Mr. Hamilton." His voice was loud and resounded through the church.Only he knows, and maybe God knows, and he has no idea.He didn't know what he was here for, and he didn't have any plans.For the first time since his expulsion, he lost his wits.If he had a brain, he shouldn't be here.But at the same time, he knew that he always did what he wanted.

"Then who are you? How dare you come here to act wild!" Gerald stood up first, and Ellen sat beside her husband with complicated emotions.

"Rhett Butler, Mr. O'Hara." Rhett bowed to Ellen sincerely, very sincerely.There were whispers in the crowd.Rhett heard "Charleston" and "firstborn" and "expulsion."

"I'm only here because I think Miss O'Hara's marriage is very inappropriate and should be taken seriously. . . . I mean, marriage . . . should be born of love." Oh!Rhett Butler, you idiot!Marriage born of love?What a joke!Are you eloquent and your ability to be sociable fed to the dogs?But he quickly forgave himself, after all, he had never had a history of disturbing other people's weddings.

"What do you mean? Mr. Butler, do you think I don't love Scarlett?" Charles said these words with his rare courage. As a traditional southern gentleman, he felt insulted.

"No, that's not what I want to say, Mr. Hamilton." Reiter replied that although he had seen this Mr. Hamilton, he had never put his appearance in his mind.Looking at it now, although he looks good, he is a little stupid, as stupid as he is now.

Gerald left the church pew and rushed up to Rhett with his short body. He only reached Rhett's chest. "You rascal, you slander my daughter's reputation like this...I...I want to fight you!"

"No, no, please don't. Mr. O'Hara." Rhett took it easy, no matter how stupid he had been before, he had to deal with this now. "If I offended you... I apologize, that was not my intention." Rhett bowed again to the crowd and Gerald to express his seemingly sincere apology.

"Come on, Mr. Butler, don't talk such nonsense. What are you doing here?" Scarlett said, the church was silent.The priest looked at the two with interest, and at the same time asked God for forgiveness.

"Discourage your marriage, Miss O'Hara." His tone sounded calm.

"Why, Mr. Butler?" Scarlett waited for him to say he loved her.And Rhett seemed to understand Scarlett's thoughts, he shook his head.

"I've always said the same thing, my dear Miss O'Hara." He wasn't married.

The scene fell silent for a while, no one spoke, and no one understood what the two were talking about.Scarlett stared at him with her big green eyes. After a long time, she said, "Then get out."

She pulled Charles towards him and kissed him.

This is a joke.Scarlett thought.

The author has something to say: I want to tell everyone that this chapter and the last chapter are written after careful consideration by me.I wonder if this chapter meets your expectations (?˙ー˙?)?Maybe it doesn't match, but it's actually due to the character of the character.There is very little that I can change.They all have souls.They will speak for themselves.It's a bit scary (●—●) When I wrote these two chapters, I changed it many times because I felt that this should not be Scarlett's style or what Rhett should say.The structure of this article is very small, so small that the focus is only on the hero and heroine, unlike the original work, which actually has a large structure.
