[Gone with the Wind] Miss Margot

Fortunately, at this time, a new guest came and rescued Charles.

Yes, sugar and tea are always welcome.Now, in the south, these two things must rely on heroic smugglers to get them.Therefore, the price has been rising all the way. It is obviously the same thing, but now it has sold for more than five times the price.

It stands to reason that such things should not appear at the charity fair, but they happened to appear at the charity fair.Although the number is not very large, it is undoubtedly the most popular item at the bazaar.At least the charity bazaar has only started so far, and the sugar is almost sold out. As for rose tea, after listening to Karin's explanation, the men took out their wallets one after another, planning to buy a pack for their wives, lovers, and daughters go back.

So, when the ball started, the stall on Magsuellen's side was already empty, and the mother and daughter were all three sitting and talking.On the side of their stall, several stalls also benefited.The guests were all attracted by Margasuelen's stall, and the number of people going to Scarlett's stall naturally decreased. At least the needlework at Scarlett's and Melanie's stalls, such as lace, were not at all. Not many people bought it.

This made Scarlet very jealous.

Even if she rationally told Scarlet that it was because sugar and tea were more popular than lace, she still couldn't accept it emotionally.

Scarlett just can't stand being more popular than her, even if it's her sister.

And this jealousy, driven by the next series of events, quickly reached a climax.

Rhett Butler, as a smuggler and a speculator, although out of his deep love for the south, he often attends some social gatherings such as dances and receptions, but he will never forget his partner.Just like now, after entering the venue, the first time I came to the booth of Margot and Suellen.

Rhett Butler immediately caught Scarlett's attention.

In many ways, the two men are similar.Scarlett was the glamorous woman, and Rhett was the glamorous man.It's a pity that Scarlet's charm is too superficial, and Rhett, although he is in his prime, is not a young man anymore.At least, he was different from those young men present.

He's past the age of being attracted to those packaged ladies.

Rhett Butler walked directly to Margot and Suellen's booth, but the first person to talk to him was not Margot or Suellen, but Ellen.

This is also southern etiquette.

Very different from European etiquette.

In Europe, as long as women are married, they can mess around. It is not uncommon for a woman to raise a mistress behind her husband's back, or for both husband and wife to raise a mistress.In the United States, the requirements for women's morality are obviously much higher.At least, cheating after marriage will definitely be rejected by the upper class collectively, even if you become a widow and then remarry, if you marry a new lover during the mourning period, you will be cast aside by people.

So, when this happens, it's the mother who speaks up to the man, and then it's the daughter's turn, even if the daughter is married.

Rhett was also very aware of such etiquette, he exchanged a few words with Ellen sincerely, and praised Ellen for everything she had done for the South.

Although Rhett looked down on the defeated South, he also hated what those politicians did.However, he still has great respect for these women who continue to sacrifice for the South.

Just when Rhett finished greeting Ellen and was about to say a few words to Margot and Suellen, the donation began.

This kind of thing is very common in cities in the south.Prom, then donation.

Those manor families are better.They often don't have the time to hold dances in order to raise more supplies, let alone donate.But in cities, this situation is very common.It is this kind of frequent donations, as well as soaring prices and bonds, paper and pens that eventually turned into a pile of waste paper, which made most families in the south impoverished after the war, so that some people could not even keep their own houses. Not to mention the manor.

Margot didn't like this kind of donation very much. Unlike Scarlett, Scarlett only cared about her jewelry, but Margot hated this kind of behavior that was destined to be fruitless.So, when she came today, except for the wedding ring on her hand, other jewelry was very simple.And Suellen, who was reminded by Margot, did not wear very expensive jewelry.

The sisters all chose gold chains unanimously, and they were still gold chains without any jewels.

Seeing Scarlet take off the jewelry painfully, Suellen was very happy. She felt that she should drink an extra glass of milk to celebrate in the evening.
