[Gone with the Wind] Back to the beginning

It was nearly noon when Scarlett woke up the next day.She was ashamed and annoyed to find that she was naked and wrapped in the quilt, with hickey marks all over her body - and the culprit had obviously washed and dressed, and was now staying in the room in good spirits.Rhett Butler came to her with a smile, well dressed, and said, "Did you sleep well, dear?" He sat down on the edge of the bed comfortably, and put a glass of water to her lips.

Scarlett was stopped by him before she could finish her sentence "Get out". After swallowing a few mouthfuls of cool water, she felt that her whole body regained her strength. Mrs. Butler pushed her newlywed husband away angrily and shouted, "Get out!"

Rhett raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure you don't need help wearing tights for a while?"

Scarlett grabbed the pillow and threw it at the man.

In the end, Mammy came to help solve the problem.Scarlett had no temper for Rhett letting her sleep this far!It's so embarrassing, everyone can think about last night...but Mammy takes it for granted.When Scarlett went downstairs to have lunch, she met Sue Ellen. The other party winked and winked. We all understand that Scarlett just wanted to pinch Rhett's waist!

And she did—at the dinner table, when Rhett chatted with Gerald politely and wittily, Scarlett mercilessly grabbed the man's waist.Rhett snorted.

"What's wrong?" asked the nervous Gerald with concern.

Rhett seemed very calm: "It's nothing serious, it might have been twisted somewhere last night."

... Scarlett didn't want to face Su Ailun's even more weird eyes!

Gerald blushed and changed the subject with a laugh.Scarlett gave Rhett a hard look, scratching the plate with the knife, and wished she could immediately take him back to the room and clean up without his parents' back.At this time, Scarlett didn't think about who would really suffer after "carrying her back to the room".

Just look at the captain's fresh look and smile on the corner of his mouth the next day.

————————————————_

On the third day of their wedding, Scarlett and Rhett set off for New Orleans for their honeymoon.The location was proposed by Rhett, and Scarlett readily agreed.In her previous life, it was arguably the place where she and Rhett spent the best time.It's just that now that she knows David's existence, Scarlett can't help but feel a little awkward even if she knows that the boy can't be her threat—when she asks Rhett whether she should see David, Rhett looked taken aback, then bent down and kissed her forehead.

"My dear, you don't have to force it." He said softly, "If you want, you can stay with me for an afternoon. I wrote to David before and told David that I found him a godmother."

Scarlett thought about it, the other party was Rhett's godson, and it was impossible not to see him forever, so she pouted and agreed: "Okay, then I'll go and see him." Then she immediately demanded: "You can't force me like him!"

"I'm glad you're willing to see him." Rhett kissed her eyes again, and his voice softened a lot, "Honey, I'm really glad to see you are willing to compromise for me."

His breath blew against her ears, scarlett's face burned, and she pushed him away as if nothing had happened.

"Then you have to buy me a lot of presents." The little girl said arrogantly, "I want beautiful clothes and hats, and..."

Rhett looked at his beloved wife with a smile, lowered his head suddenly, kissed her lips amid Scarlett's exclamation, and at the same time hugged her on his knees and stroked her hair over and over again.

"I'm willing to give you anything, honey." He whispered in her ear after the long kiss.

------------------

Honeymoon life in New Orleans couldn't be sweeter.

It's a land of eccentricity and glamour, a seaside city that's more prosperous and more chaotic than inland Atlanta, where newlyweds with a lot of cash can indulge.Rhett took Scarlett to see all the happiest places in New Orleans, and all the people who met carefree, fun-seeking men and women.They're rich, they're partying, and they're not all sad like the residents of Atlanta.Everyone has luxurious houses, fashionable carriages and horses, and they are all willing to make friends with the beautiful Butler couple.They gave her a dance, invited her to dinner, saw a show, went for a drive, and Scarlett had a great time.Here she seemed to be the little girl who knew no pain before the war and could dance all night long.In front of these people, she could release her nature to the fullest, and Rhett smiled and looked at no discomfort, but encouraged her and said, "I knew you would like this place."

"Why don't you like it?" Scarlett was vigilant, and she became suspicious when the other party smiled.

Rhett immediately cheered.

"You don't have to hide yourself from this stuff." He said lazily, his sharp black eyes fixed on Scarlett's face. "We'll have a lot of fun here. But when we get back to Atlanta," he said strangely She smiled softly, "Honey, you are the only one who is lucky enough to make you completely at ease."

Knowing his intentions made Scarlet feel more at ease, although Rhett's fight was not a good idea-she smiled at herself, each according to his own ability!Rhett Butler wanted her to let her unruly nature go, and she was about to show him a lady -- but let's get back to Atlanta.Speaking of which, she never fulfilled her wish of being a lady in her previous life.Now that she is not so sharp and desperate, can she take a break and regain some of her early demeanor?Scarlett couldn't help being in a trance when she thought of this.

"Don't think about it, baby." Rhett interrupted her as if he could read her mind. "You just need to show yourself in front of the person you don't want to lose." His dark eyes With a half-smile, "After all, we are a match made in heaven, we share similar tastes."

"Get out of here." Scarlett was annoyed, she didn't have a pillow at hand, so she just rolled up a handkerchief and hit him, but the man took it and kissed him indifferently.The good prodigal son turned around and started a new life. If he insists on saying that he is like-minded, there is only Butler like him!

But who made her like him?Scarlett couldn't help laughing softly at last.

------------------

Compared with the new friends, Scarlett was more excited by the various clothes and jewelry Rhett bought her.Maybe she can't change her love of beauty and vanity in her life?Scarlett thought casually as she changed into the most fashionable dress.Big bustles are out. This is a dress that pulls back at both ends and folds over the back pad, with wreaths, bows, and lace.Scarlett glanced at the mirror with satisfaction, her waist was highlighted very exquisitely—ah, she is still a wonderful girl with a small seventeen-inch waist!Putting on a flat thin slanted hat, Scarlett flung her streamer feathers triumphantly. How lucky Rhett married her!

She bought clothes as much as she wanted, one set after another.All of them are high-end products made with exquisite workmanship, and they are simply too many to count!Shirts, petticoats, pajamas, fine linen still embroidered; satin slippers, three inches high at the heel, with glittering rhinestone buckles; a dozen silk stockings, none of which had muslin toes.Rhett wasn't at all laughing at her taste for high-end stuff and flashy tackiness, but went out of her way to help her choose—sometimes by keeping Scarlett from aesthetics that were too inappropriate, like a silly wig that got Mrs. anger.But Scarlett also had to admit that she was dressed up beautifully by Rhett, and the man was very willing to spend money for her to have fun and dress up.

They spent billions of dollars on presents for family and friends, and Scarlett couldn't help but want to show off her wealth, while Rhett just indulged in choosing what was right for everyone.Plain satin dress for Ellen, fine tobacco for Gerald, The Complete Works of Shakespeare for Merry and Ashley, moonstone necklace for Aunt Pete, coral bracelet for Sue Ellen, and Karin A Persian cat, a red taffeta dress for Mammy... you name it.But when Scarlett was very satisfied and perfect, Rhett reminded maliciously: "My dear, should we choose a suitable engagement gift for Miss Calvert and Mr. Wellburn?" ?”

Scarlett paused for a second before she realized that the man was secretly expressing her jealousy. She laughed aloud, "What's the matter! Tommy didn't start chasing Cathy either."

"Anyway, I'll see soon." Rhett insisted, and finally the two "planned ahead" to pick out a pair of crystal swan ornaments as a possible engagement gift, but the corners of Rhett's lips were always upturned when they left the store.

It's childish!Scarlett couldn't help secretly laughing while disgusted.

They also talked about the new home Atlanta was taking a break from.

"I want the house to be Tara's white color." Scarlett described the shape of the ideal new home, "That way I will feel at ease..." Sensing that the man seemed to be relieved, Scarlett immediately frowned, "Why, what do you think Is my aesthetic so unreliable?" She smiled sweetly: "I suddenly feel that a colorful castle-like house is not bad."

Rhett raised his hands: "Honey, please forgive me..." He made Scarlett laugh out loud and stopped objecting before putting forward his own opinion. He said, "How about a Creole house?" Seeing Scarlett's confused expression, the man coughed and added: "White plaster, wrought iron railings, old-fashioned elegance, with six columns."

"It sounds a bit like Twelve Oaks." Scarlett's memories were all on the column, and she immediately said quickly before the man showed the expression "It's so late, you still can't forget Ashley's home": " Creole is Creole, I'm fine!"

She added coquettishly: "I want beautiful lawns, fountains, sculptures, and a swing set!"

Rhett naturally readily agreed.

"It's rare that we agree." He said unhappy, obviously still worried about the "Ashley family". "So, my dear, what kind of furniture do you want?"

"Marble?" Scarlett racked her brains to find something that might match Rhett's aesthetics, only to find that Rhett smiled helplessly and reached out to pinch her nose.Rhett: "Instead of choosing marble for your furniture and asking for a bunch of brightly colored rugs and curtains to go with it, it's better to have it all yours!"

Scarlett: ...how did he know I wanted thick, bright wool rugs that I could walk and roll around barefoot?
