[Gone with the Wind] Miss Margot

On the evening of the third day, a carriage drove into the Tara Manor. Gerald disliked the speculator Rhett Butler very much, and even took out a shot|gun, trying to drive Rhett Butler away.

However, Margo stopped him.

"Papa, let Mr. Butler come in. He's bringing medicine for me. The boys in the county need medicine. It's for the South."

Gerald was holding the shotgun, panting heavily, and finally stomped his feet heavily and left.

Now at this time, the four characters for the south are a universal signboard, and as long as there is a relationship with these four characters, everything will go smoothly-in the homes of high-class people in the south.

With his cynical smile on his face, Rhett said, "Miss Margo O'Hara, it seems that there is something wrong with your family."

There is an appreciation that no one understands in the smile.

Marge smiled and said, "There is no way. After my eldest sister asked to get married as soon as possible, my sister Suellen and I also hope to get married as soon as possible. The engagement period of the three of us is only two weeks. So, Dad feels a little embarrassed. Of course, you know, war, there's no way around that."

Rhett's deep gaze fell on Margot's face, and he said meaningfully: "If you need it, just ask."

Margot said: "Of course. Actually, I do need your help. I have some oil paintings, and I hope you can sell them for me. I hope you can store the money in the Bank of England for me. Maybe I will use it after the war. arrive."

"You are very welcome."

Margot smiled and said: "Because you don't have to be too polite. You are a speculator, aren't you? However, the Bank of England account may not be opened until after I get married, so there may be a delay. You don't Do you mind? Painting, you can take it away today."

Rhett said, "You're such a special lady. I wonder if I'll have the honor of walking with you?"

Margot laughed: "Aren't you going to come in and sit down? I don't think you've had your supper yet?"

Rhett said: "Given my performance at Twelve Oaks Manor, I'm afraid your father will not be happy to entertain me. Just like before."

Margot said: "Don't worry, my family is very happy to entertain you. As for my father, in fact, as long as you are willing, it is too simple to subdue my father. My father can write and count, but he is cunning. , he is absolutely inferior to you, a speculator."

"Are you mocking me?"

"No, that's a compliment. If you weren't brave enough, you certainly wouldn't break the blockade; and if you weren't cunning, you wouldn't be able to cross the blockade again and again, exchanging our cotton for guns and ammunition, for medicine. , and replace it with various items that are urgently needed in the south. Obviously, you are not only very brave, but also cunning enough, so you have been very successful. I also hope that you will continue to be successful, so that I can safely put all kinds of items The matter is entrusted to you."

"You're very different from the girls in the South."

"Oh, yes. And you, too, are not like the gentlemen of the South."

Rhett raised his eyebrows, smiled, and followed Marge into the room.

There is always a cynical smile on his face, the corners of his mouth are always taunted, and his tone is always full of sarcasm. If you don't know him well enough, you will never find out that his heart is the same as every southerner. The land is full of love.

Walking into the living room, Rhett discovered that there were not only the O'Hara family in the room, but also the fiances of the three girls, Charles Hamilton, George Clark, and Frank Kennedy.

Among them, the ecstasy of getting married is evident on Charles Hamilton's face, while Scarlett, who is sitting next to him, obviously does not have his heart on him.This Miss Scarlett O'Hara had been displaying his femininity for apparently unknown reasons, and apparently with success.Because the eyes of Mr. Kennedy always fell on him involuntarily, Miss Suellen, who was sitting next to him, looked annoyed.

And this Miss Scarlett O'Hara was obviously not satisfied, for there was another gentleman who was blind to his charms.It's a pity that in the eyes of this gentleman, the books in his hands are obviously more interesting than this coquettish young lady.

Rhett shrugged.

Yes, in his eyes, although Scarlett is a woman from high society, but he just used the word coquettish | coquettish | on Scarlett, instead of a more euphemistic and elegant style. |Love.

Seeing Rhett coming in, several men in the room got up to say hello to Rhett.However, it was obvious that Gerald, Charles, and Frank were not happy about his arrival, and they even showed obvious rejection on their faces.But George, although he was the last to get up, came up first to shake hands with Rhett: "Ah, Mr. Butler, where were we talking last time? I finally got to know you and consider you my friend , but when you left, you didn't say anything to me."

Rhett said: "I'm sorry, there is something wrong. Besides, I think most families in the south don't like guests like me."

George said: "What are you talking about! At least, in my heart, you are my friend. My wife and I, I mean, Margot who will soon be my wife are very happy to entertain you in my manor. you."

Scarlet put all her strength on George, but the other party ignored her at all.When Margo was around, she walked around Margo. When Margo was not there, she either talked to Karin, the little sister, or picked up the book directly.

At this moment, seeing that George was so enthusiastic about Rhett, he couldn't help saying: "Speculators."

Coincidentally, these words were heard clearly by Ellen who came in from behind.

Ellen said: "Scarlett, it is precisely because of a warrior like Mr. Rhett Butler that our cotton can pass through the blockade and get back the various items we need." Then he said to Rhett, " Mr. Butler, you are welcome."

"It's great to see you in good health."

Rhett knew he wasn't welcome in most Southern families.But he couldn't find the pretended politeness on Ellen's face.Obviously, the other party sincerely welcomes him.

Ellen accepted Rhett's hand kiss and said, "Mr. Rhett Butler, thank you very much. Not only did you agree to my daughter's request, you sent enough medicines, and you also specially brought us the latest White satin needed."

Suellen, who had been annoyed for a day when she heard about the white satin, immediately looked better.

Obviously, even though Suellen didn't care on the surface, as a girl, she still wanted to have her own wedding dress.

Scarlett heard that she was very jealous: "Mom, since I already have white satin, it shouldn't be a problem to make me a new one, right?"

Suellen immediately glared at her sister.

Unexpectedly, Ellen resolutely rejected the eldest daughter: "Scarlett, there are only two pieces of white satin, just enough for Margot and Suellen. Didn't I already say that? My wedding dress can be given to you." .”

"But……"

Suellen interrupted immediately: "Mother's wedding dress can only be passed on to the eldest daughter. Who made me and Margot sisters? Scarlett, this is the honor of the eldest daughter!"

If it had been agreed that Margot would wear her mother's old white satin wedding dress, Suellen would not be uncomfortable in the green dress Margot had given her.But when Rhett didn't come, Scarlett was the only one in the family who could wear a white satin wedding dress. Not to mention, after Rhett brought the white satin, Scarlett even wanted to grab one.

Of course Suellen was not happy.

Gerald originally wanted to say something, but when Suellen said this, he could only shut his mouth angrily.

Rhett smiled as if he hadn't heard the two daughters of the O'Hara family confronting each other, but turned to Ellen gently: "Mrs. It's not too late."

Ellen laughed and said, "Ah, Scarlett's wedding was on the last day of April, while Margot and Suellen held their wedding on May [-]nd at the same time. Fortunately, Margot trained two very skilled black men Slave out."

Rhett said: "Miss Margot is really a capable girl."
