[Gone with the Wind] Miss Margot

again,

The big new house built by the Clark family was full of guests.

The building area of ​​this house is nearly 10 square meters, not much smaller than the White House, and it is less than a [-]-minute walk from the newly built state government building.The new house is divided into the main building and two auxiliary buildings. The main building is undoubtedly the living area of ​​the owner, and the auxiliary building in the east is a social place, where various celebrations and dances are held.

In a simple sentence, even if celebrities from all over Georgia are here, the annex building will not be crowded.

Of course, because of the influence of Britain on the United States, whether it is the main building or the auxiliary building, the basement is the room of the male servants, and the attic is the room of the unmarried maids.As for the married male servants and female servants, they are concentrated in the west annex building.

Today is the housewarming banquet of the Clark family. Not only the old citizens of Atlanta, but also the new citizens, as well as the Yankees, including the few black doctors in the hospital, also came.Whether black or white, all dressed decently.However, their identities can be seen at a glance from their words and deeds.

This was the deepest feeling of the black people present.

It has to be said that people's growth environment has a profound impact on everyone's ideology.The profession of doctor, whether it is placed in the south or the north, whether it is before or after the war, is a decent profession, but in the eyes of those white people in the north, black people, especially black women, are doctors. night tales!

They refused to accept the existence of black doctors.

Especially those Yankee wives who regarded Molly as the black maid of the Clark family, and when Molly ignored them, they shouted in dissatisfaction: "Oh my God! You nigger! Carefully I told Mrs. Clarke to whip you!"

Coincidentally, at this time Margot came down the stairs.With sharp eyes, Margot saw Molly at a glance, and also saw this conflict in her eyes.

Margot nodded to the guests who greeted her, but she walked straight to Molly without slowing down, and before the Yankee lady showed her a flattering smile to say hello to her, she gave Molly a Embrace:

"Oh, dear Molly, I'm so glad you're here!"

Molly was still on edge.

She was a black woman, with thick lips, dark skin, and wide hips, telling everyone that she was a full-blooded black.

Black people like her, in the past, were just female slaves in southern plantation families, never had the opportunity to formally receive an invitation letter, and never had the opportunity to appear as a guest in the living room of an upper-class white family .

But this time, Molly received an invitation letter written by Margot himself.

Although Molly kept cheering herself up in her heart, saying that she was a decent person now, and she also held the invitation letter sent to the hospital by her Miss Margot herself, but she still felt guilty in her heart.

If she hadn't met several other surgeons at the door just now who were also holding invitation letters, she might still be circling outside the door right now.

But all courage was lost upon entering this splendid hall.

Molly hid in a corner with several other blacks and their husbands.Especially when they saw those arrogant Yankees, they were still worried in their hearts, for fear of being found in trouble.

Pretending not to hear the Yankee lady's request took all the courage Molly had had since entering the ballroom.Before Margot came over, Molly was already mentally prepared to be made things difficult by the other party.

Molly never expected that Margot would come and give her a hug.

The Yankee lady was dumbfounded: "Mrs. Clark, what are you talking about? She, isn't she a black slave?"

Margot seemed to have noticed the other party just now, and said in a slightly surprised tone: "Madam, haven't the black slaves been liberated? Mrs. Molly Rossi is not an ordinary black, she is my guests."

The other party was obviously stunned by Margot's words: "Your guest? How come? I mean, she is so familiar with you, isn't she your servant?"

Margot smiled and said, "Servant? Ah~ before I got married, indeed. At that time, Molly was the best tailor in Tara Manor. There is no doubt that even my wedding dress was made by Molly. However, Molly's talent in suturing surgery is far better than her talent in sewing! In the era when a large number of wounded people poured into Atlanta and there were not enough doctors in Atlanta, Molly's suturing skills saved many lives! Molly , what is the secret of surgical suturing?"

"It's texture! Just like fabrics have patterns, human skin and muscles have their own textures. Matching the textures when sewing can effectively reduce bleeding."

When it comes to her professional field, Molly is not afraid at once, and she speaks out her experience aloud.

Margot said: "Look, let me just say that Molly's skills in suturing are real."

Led by Melanie, Ashley, Scarlett and others, the southerners applauded first.

That's right, although they hadn't suffered such serious injuries, some people from their families, relatives and friends' families had indeed been admitted to the Atlanta Hospital, and indeed many people had their lives saved by the hands of black doctors.

As a doctor, Molly deserves such applause.

Soon, the music started.As hosts, George and Margot are going to lead the dance, but since the second dance song, the southern gentlemen headed by George have invited Molly and other black female guests, so that even Margot didn’t dance a few dances today. , On the contrary, these black women who came to the door as guests, except for the first dance, every dance left did not fail.

Of course, their husbands were not so lucky.Except for a dance with their own wife, they had to stand on the edge of the dance floor most of the time.

This is the new rule in the South. White men can invite black women who are also guests to dance at the ball, but black men who are also guests cannot invite white women, because it would be an offense to those noble ladies.

But even that slapped the Yankees and Yankee wives hard in the face.

In view of Marge's identity and the money and power behind her, even the wife who was slapped just now didn't dare to show dissatisfaction, let alone the wife's husband didn't even give his wife an extra look. Talk to Margo.

The author has something to say: the second update.

Take a break and go back to the third one.
