[Gone with the Wind] Miss Margot

Not many people knew about Scarlett's struggles, and in fact, the whole of Atlanta was in a frenzy with Suellen's production.

A large number of people are pouring into Atlanta. Even if the Peachtree block has not yet started to move, just before and after the contract is signed, the land price and housing price are sky-high.

No matter how traditional a woman is, if she knows from lawyers and accountants that she has quadrupled her family property without doing anything, she will be too happy to sleep.

The wives of these southern upper-class families also vary in their specific expressions of this.Those traditional wives have said that big money should be in the hands of men, as long as the living expenses are paid to them on time.Most of these wives are elderly people, and some of them don't even know anything about banking business. Even though the discussion is serious behind the scenes, they still carry the old etiquette and customs, and they all show that they don't value money very much.

That's right, the wives in the southern plantation families have to help their husbands manage the entire plantation, but in formal occasions, when people mention managing the manor, they will only think that it is the work of men, and women only need to dress up and sit It's enough to please men there.No matter how well the manor is managed, it is also the credit of the men. It is because they manage it well and they hire very capable supervisors, and it has little to do with women.

Just like what Ellen told Scarlett in the past, in such a situation, no matter how much a woman puts in, no matter how much work a woman puts in, she must praise her husband for his good vision and proper work assignment. In short, absolutely not Women's credit.

Therefore, most wives who are old or have been married for many years can maintain the elegance of the past on the surface: this kind of thing, just leave it to the men.

But the young lady couldn't hold back.These wives are divided into two extremes. One is that the husband survived the war. The men in these families may feel that they owed their wives during the war, and some of them uphold the tradition of southern men loving their wives and families, so they all Expenses for wives are not prohibited, so that in one short week these wives spend more money than they have spent in the whole of the past year.

At the other extreme are families who have lost their husbands and lost their children, and even though they have moved to Atlanta, to the Peachtree neighborhood, they still live in fear.So even if there is a large amount of income on the books, they are very disturbed. Those with better psychological quality will harass those lawyers and accountants every day, and those with poor psychological quality will be caught by speculators.

Those who can become speculators in this era must be white, and they are handsome and talkative. They are all likable young men. They approach these ladies in various ways, and miss the good old days with them. In order to gain the trust of these wives, and then let these wives sign various documents.

Ritter was the first to discover this matter. Originally, he should have enjoyed a vacation and be with his newborn child, but now, Ritter has to appear in front of the public again and again, reminding everyone to be careful of the methods of those speculators.

But even so, it is still heard from time to time that someone was fooled.

Scarlett was most annoyed by this.

"Those fools, are their brains full of water?" The vocabulary was learned from Margot. "The past is gone and it won't come back! The money in their hands is their last guarantee! They still have money." Throwing it into the hands of those who have just met for a short time! It is unbelievable..."

In Scarlett's eyes, this is the residual poison of the old southern era, because of the various constraints on women in that era, which made women into puppets who could not think for themselves.

While the people around were still nostalgic for that old era and thought it was all beautiful, Scarlett had already begun to shake his head at the old era, and began to stride forward.

Suellen has reservations about Scarlett's statement: "Everyone knows what this war means. There are not only these kinds of deception. There may be more where we can't see it. In the In my opinion, maybe not only women, but also men have fallen into this trap, so it is not necessarily known."

"It's just that the men haven't seen the money yet and haven't started to move, so even though they contacted these people and got these documents, they chose to keep silent for the time being and didn't sign right away." Karin finally concluded, "We Action should be taken immediately to avoid greater losses."

Margo smiled and said, "Karin, Rhett will hate you. He just had a cute little princess, but you are going to flood him with work and consume a lot of his time. Rhett will hate you."

"Then let him hate me. Don't forget, I have three nephews, but only one niece, Meilan!"

Well, Rhett really started whining when he saw those documents.

My God, by the time he finishes all this work, his little princess will not recognize her dear Papa.

In this regard, Norma, the black mother of Rose Manor, said: "Although many people talk about Mr. Butler's status as a speculator, I still want to say that Mr. Butler is a gentleman! There is no doubt! It is him I worked as a speculator during the war, and I also resold grain, but that was all during the war, wasn’t it? War is always the opposite of order—Mrs. Clark said this, I hope I didn’t remember Wrong—that's not Mr. Butler's fault. Mr. Butler's a gentleman, he's as generous as any decent gentleman in Atlanta, and he's got a decent job. He's a rich gentleman, of course, Still in love with his newborn daughter! Oh, what a lovely little princess! Inherited her father's black hair and mother's blue eyes!  …”

Norma and other black women from Rose Manor also put on red taffeta petticoats to celebrate the birth of Miss Butler, and then the black men who originally served the Kennedy family also began to celebrate the birth of the little princess.

They were arguably the last wave to bless Suellen and Rhett's marriage.

There is no way, who made them turn out to be servants of the Kennedy family.
