[Gone With the Wind] Daughter Difficult

It is not surprising to meet Johann Strauss Jr. at the World Expo. After all, during the World Expo, he has a fixed time to come back to conduct performances.

After talking with Beau yesterday, Rhett had sent for Johann Strauss Jr. this morning before coming to the Expo, and he actually wanted to have Beau meet the great musician in a more formal way Home.

But at this moment, they have already met, so the step of being recommended by an intermediary trustee is saved.

Strauss looked at Xiao Bo who was full of surprises, and he took the initiative to walk towards them, and Reid led Xiao Bo to meet him quickly.

Rhett stretched out his hand to Strauss, "Mr. Strauss, hello." He took the initiative to imply that John Strauss and the others already knew each other's identity, "Your performance is very shocking, and I can't get enough of it. .”

"Thank you for your appreciation, Mr. Butler." Strauss touched Xiaobo's head, "Xiaobo, you came to see the World Expo, do you like my performance on stage?" Maybe it's because they always He was quiet in the music, so there were relatively few other interactions between the two. In the end, he didn't even leave his name. When he came back, he would occasionally miss this talented little boy who liked piano.

Xiao Bo nodded in admiration, and praised innocently: "Uncle John, your performance is really great, I have never heard such beautiful music."

A group of people came to the guest lounge. It was Rhett who booked the VIP room at sight, so there was no one else.

They can also speak freely.

Scarlett and Rhett brought Xiaobo to Vienna because of his amazing musical talent. The music teacher in the church told Melanie not to bury Xiaobo's talent, which made Melanie make up her mind Determined to let Xiaobo experience the artistic atmosphere of the music capital.

Before they came to Europe, Scarlett told Melanie that she hoped that this trip would broaden Xiaobo's horizons, and it would be great if she could get some guidance from famous teachers.

But that's all.

It's still too early to say how much they look forward to or even how ambitious they are for Xiaobo's future.

So when they really met top musicians, they were really at a loss.

Strauss discovered this when he talked with the Butler family.

In fact, he really intends to cultivate Xiaobo. Even though he is not a piano master, he has such resources. From his point of view, if Xiaobo can stay in Vienna, study and study music, he will definitely become a world-class musician in time. , the future will be limitless.

After all, the developing country on the other side of the Atlantic has no way to compare with the resources of Vienna. There are hundreds of years of music culture and heritage here. There is no place in the world whose music can surpass the level of Vienna. That's why Vienna is known as the music capital of the world.

But Strauss also knew that the Butlers were not Xiao Bo's parents, and Xiao Bo's family was still in the United States, and the boy was so young, his parents might not want him to leave his hometown and cross an ocean to study in Vienna.

Strauss was indeed sincere. He even gave Xiaobo a chance to choose - Xiaobo could stay or go back. He said that if Xiaobo didn't stay, he would introduce Xiaobo to Pianist friend: "I want you to know that I am really sincere. I know that you also want Xiaobo to have a good future. His future is in Vienna. You should think about it."

For such an important matter, Rhett and Scarlett would definitely not help the Wilkes family to decide. Rhett sent a telegram to Melanie and Ashley that night, telling them that Strauss provided Xiao Bo A precious opportunity.

In fact, after they disembarked, Rhett and Scarlett had contacted Melanie and Ashley and told them the story of Xiaobo on the boat. Now Xiaobo was appreciated by John Strauss Jr. This shows that Xiaobo's talent is probably higher than they imagined.

Scarlett advocated for Xiaobo to stay. Her idea was very simple. Xiaobo is so talented and has a bright future in the future, so Melanie will definitely support Xiaobo to stay and look for his future.

Reid couldn't help pouring cold water on him: "This is Europe. If we were on the same continent, it would be easy to meet as long as the train can go, but the ship crosses the most unpredictable sea. Even the current ship technology It's still safe, and Melanie and the others won't rest assured that Xiao Bo will stay here alone."

"We can send someone to stay and take care of him," Scarlett thought for a while and said, "What a great opportunity."

Of course Reid knew that this was a good opportunity: "Then have you asked Xiao Bo if he is willing?"

Bonnie's thinking at this time is still relatively divergent——

If the airplane is invented now, the time from the United States to Europe will be greatly shortened.

Bonnie thought silently.

But... the technology is too underdeveloped now, and the conditions for researching aircraft are not mature... What if the plane drops?

Scarlett asked directly: "Xiao Bo, you won't give up such a good opportunity, will you?"

Rhett frowned. Scarlett's obviously leading question had no room for rejection at all.

Xiao Bo has been in a state of shock since he met Johann Strauss Jr., and he still hasn't recovered, let alone Strauss let him stay in Vienna.

This is something he never thought about.

Xiao Bo's wish is also very simple. Before he came, he was encouraged by Little Bonnie, and because he met Uncle John on the boat, which made him have a better understanding of music. But if he was allowed to stay, what would his mother do? manage?There is still a younger sister or younger brother in the mother's womb, he has to go back to help the mother take care of him, and if he leaves the United States to study in Vienna, won't he see little Bonnie for a long time?Thinking of this, Xiao Bo felt a little hesitant.

Looking at Scarlett's eagerly looking green eyes, Xiao Bo lowered his head shyly, unable to say anything that he didn't want to stay.

At this time, Bonnie finally came out from the high-tech shadow of the World Expo. Xiaobo's head was almost hanging down to his chest, and Bonnie guessed that he didn't want to stay at all.

Also, family and future are inherently a dilemma.

Many people would go out to make a fortune and return to their hometown after gaining fame and fortune, but Xiao Bo was indeed too young, not even ten years old.

Perhaps he should be allowed to grow up a bit before considering this issue.

"Don't you want to stay?" Bonnie shook Xiaobo's slender hand.

Under the offensive of Bonnie's baby voice, Xiao Bo shook his head slowly.

"Then don't stay here, let's go back," Bonnie said with a smile, "Then you can play the piano for me in the future."

Xiao Bo raised his head, looked at Bonnie with bright eyes, and nodded seriously.

Scarlet still felt that this opportunity should not be given up, and wanted to say something, but Rhett stopped him and said: "I think Melanie may think differently from you, she still hopes that Xiao Bo can stay by her side Compare your heart with your heart, if Bonnie is the one who has the piano talent, and the other party asks her to stay and study, would you like it? Maybe you can think this way, if Xiao Bo is our son, would you like him to stay by himself?"

"I..." Scarlett's first reaction was actually that she would definitely not let Bonnie stay alone. Their family is in the United States. Maybe they can move to Europe, but Melanie and Ashley They definitely wouldn't want to move to Europe, they probably wouldn't even want to leave the South.

Scarlett's thoughts were also turning back and forth, but in her heart, there was still a voice. Besides, it was a pity to give up such an opportunity.

"You're not Melanie, you don't know what she thinks," Reid said, "We're not Xiaobo's parents either, so don't instill our ideas in them."

"You don't know what she thinks." Scarlett said angrily.

Rhett nodded, "Of course I'm just making assumptions, honey, don't get angry over such a trivial matter, it's not good for your health."

Scarlett elbowed Rhett angrily.

They later received a telegram from Ashley, saying that they hoped they would bring Xiaobo back first before making a decision.

John Strauss was not surprised by their decision, and he also did what he promised before, writing a letter of recommendation to Xiao Bo, so that he can also get a good music education in the United States. Will bury his musical talent.

Strauss also proposed that if Xiaobo wanted to come to him in the future, he also left an address for Reid, so that he can be contacted in the future.

After the World Expo ended, the Reid family wandered around Europe again, and went to London before returning from England.

When they returned to the United States, it was already four months after their trip, and by this time, Melanie's stomach was already very big.

Because of her poor health, Dr. Meade did not advise her to get out of bed.

When Scarlett came back with Xiaobo, she visited Melanie by the way.

Melanie is in good spirits, especially after seeing Scarlett and Xiaobo, her whole face is radiant.

Xiao Bo was too tired, so he went to rest first after seeing Melanie.

Scarlett talked with Melanie in the room, telling what they had seen and heard in the World Expo in Europe this time, and of course the adventures of Little Bo.

Melanie's expression was slightly joyful, even when she heard Scarlett talking about Xiaobo's talent in person, she was not arrogant or impatient.

"Red said that you don't want Xiaobo to stay in Vienna. Do you really think so? But this will give him a good future."

"Don't be impatient, dear Scarlett," Melanie said softly, "I discussed it with Ashley, and of course we also hope that he will have a future, but he is still too young. I really can't bear to let him go across the ocean to such a far place."

Scarlett shut her mouth in embarrassment, always feeling that the raging flame in her heart was extinguished by the joint efforts of these people.

"Let's not talk about that first, let's talk about you and Captain Barrett, how are you doing?" Melanie asked with a smile.

Scarlett's cheeks turned red.
