Scarlett jumped downstairs, her upper body was a light green velvet double-breasted riding jacket, and a wide skirt of the same color was tied underneath, but the size was adjusted to the right size by the skilled maid, and the lace was hanging on the At Scarlett’s ankles, it seemed as if unknown little white wildflowers in spring were swaying at her feet.When the skirt fluttered, she could still be seen wearing a pair of light brown lambskin boots, which Gerald had specially tanned for his daughter in the spring.

She picked up her little horsewhip from the coffee table at the corner of the stairs, swiped it a few times in the air, and turned her head to smile at Xiao Mimi with a particularly airy look: “Nurse, look, I’m so energetic now.” !”

“Oh, my little darling, please slow down,” Xiao Mimi was used to the heavy chest on her chest, and she went downstairs smoothly with the regular shaking rhythm of the H-cup, holding a black felt hat in her hand. With a dark green ostrich feather.

The feather was neither too big and exaggerated to go to the ball, nor too small to be invisible, and the riding cap matched the dress just right, and the whole outfit set off Scarlett’s green eyes. .

Xiao Mimi felt that if such a Scarlett could not make Ashley fall in love, then she would have nothing to do.Does Ashley have feelings for Scarlett?There must be feelings, but it is indeed not as deep as the motherly tolerance and tenderness that Melanie gave.

Xiao Mimi, a man who has not been weaned, is also hehe, but when she thinks about Fu Xiaoyang’s disapproval from Mrs. Fu, she has separated from her for three years, and Xiao Mimi feels uncomfortable.

Suddenly, the characteristic sneer and mocking expression on Reinhardt’s face broke into her consciousness, and Xiao Mimi immediately set up a strict defense against the fragile past, forcing herself to suppress the feeling of frustration and powerlessness, she secretly sighed.

Now that she is determined not to be manipulated by others, whether it is in the Jinjiang system or the real reality, she has lost the qualification to be weak.

The most important thing right now is to complete the task.

“Run around Tara Manor, and then come back along the boulevard, Mammy wants to see your most beautiful posture on the horse.” Xiao Mimi fastened Scarlett’s hat, and the sideways fixing method made Scarlett’s face She became more and more delicate, and the hairpins decorated with pearls were arranged like a crescent moon, which was very elegant. Xiao Mimi put the remaining pearl hairpins into her apron and said, “My little darling, so you can still catch up to eat when you come back.” lunch.”

Mama Hei has always disapproved of Scarlett going out for horse races, she would rather keep her at home to learn the rules, but how can Scarlett be locked up?Mama Hei was uncharacteristically today, but Scarlett hesitated.

“Are you going to complain to Ellen’s mother, Mammy?” Scarlett said with a sullen face, a little nervous, but Gerald went to the cotton field to oversee the work early in the morning, and no one could help her at the moment : “In that case, I won’t go.”

Xiao Mimi pampered the young heroine’s face, and smiled: “My little darling, the nanny is on your side.”

While sprinkling alfalfa leaves into the sandwich for seasoning, Xiao Mimi kept looking out the window to pay attention to the movement.Soon there were two figures walking side by side on the boulevard. The man was tall and thin, with blond hair fluttering like a mischievous magic in the breeze; the girl was like a cheerful bird, as light as the miracle of Tara Manor .

In terms of appearance alone, Scarlett and Ashley really couldn’t be more suitable.

The two turned their heads to face each other from time to time on the horse, and talked and laughed Yanyan. Ashley is the best young man in the neighborhood, which is very important to Scarlett.Moreover, he has a gentle manner, rich knowledge, and humorous and elegant conversation. Scarlett has always lacked such a polite gentleman in her life circle since she was a child. There are only Gerald’s wild Irish style, or a typical southern manor owner. He is comfortable and lazy, playing cards or drinking all day long.

But she may not understand Gerald’s rough heart and gentleness, the kind of spirit that uprightly shoulders the burden of the family; and even though Ashley has read so many books, he doesn’t understand what responsibility and responsibility are.

Fortunately, Scarlett inherited all her father’s skills, so this time, Ashley will be Scarlett’s canary.

At this time, the door was knocked, Xiao Mimi opened the door herself, Scarlett grabbed her hand and said happily: “Nurse, who is it? It’s Ashley from the Wilkes family. He just came back from Europe. Come over to our house to deliver the party invitations.”

Xiao Mimi was actually a black slave. Even though she had a detached status in the O’Hara family, according to the southern law, she was still nothing when she went out.Ashley just smiled politely, watching Xiao Mimi salute to him, but he didn’t say a word, until Alan appeared at the stairs, he took off his hat and said hello to the hostess: “Good day, Mrs. O’Hara .”

The two chatted politely, Xiao Mimi pouted, and went to change Scarlett’s clothes on her own.

“Nurse, did you know in advance that Ashley was coming today?” Scarlett asked when going upstairs. She was very shrewd at such a young age. Two younger girls at the stairs took advantage of Ellen’s busy schedule. Seeing the guests, Mimi Xiao drove her back to the room, so Scarlett continued to ask: “I just rode back to the boulevard, so I met him by such a coincidence, he is so handsome.”

Xiao Mimi forced a smile in her heart, he is good-looking, but he is not your mr.right, and then she said nonchalantly: “Of course I don’t know, it’s probably just a coincidence.”

Scarlett reluctantly believed it, and casually dropped the whip, and asked Mimi Xiao to untie her skirt.Ashley is Scarlett’s business, Xiao Mimi is responsible for matching them, what kind of person Ashley is is not what Xiao Mimi should care about.

But Xiao Mimi is a person born in modern society, she is very concerned about Ashley’s attitude of deliberately turning a blind eye when Scarlett talked to her just now, even if he has no expression, he will be better than that pretentious and superior smile Well done.

In the book, Melanie and Black Mama are the two people Rhett Butler respects the most, even if they are still there, the hero and heroine will not go to the final open ending that makes readers feel sorry.

Ashley, on the other hand, prided himself on his identity in the tide of the times. Even after the war, he still missed that dandy way of life. The lumber factory that Scarlett gave him was also a mess.If Scarlett hadn’t dragged him and Melanie’s small family desperately, they would have been abandoned by the tide of the times long ago.

So it is useless for a man to look at his appearance. In terms of Ashley’s professionalism, he is not as good as a professional wolf dog.

Allen obviously had a good impression of Ashley Wilkes, so he readily accepted the other party’s invitation and sent him out.There are no particularly strict rules in the south, and everyone is a very familiar neighbor, so although Scarlett and her two younger sisters are not of social age, it is no problem for their three little girls to participate in such family gatherings .

The Wilkes family only invited three families, and the girls were almost overjoyed when they heard the news.

As soon as Ashley left, Scarlett boldly pestered Allen to ask questions. She didn’t like reading, and she didn’t have the feelings of a poet. She turned over and over in her mind the words that could describe Ashley, only the word “prince”.

His daughter is 14 years old, and Alan is also so overwhelmed and excited when he thinks of his past, but what is left to him in his life is only endless thoughts and nostalgia.Gerald is not bad, after all, the two have been together for many years, but Gerald is not the person in her heart, but that person will not come back, he left himself and went to heaven.

“Yes, Scarlett, you and your sisters are going.” Alan said gently but sternly: “But you can’t dance, you can’t hang out, and you must follow me every step of the way. I want to see how well you behave. What’s the matter. If you can’t satisfy me, you have to stay at home until you are 16 years old and can officially go to the ball.”

Scarlett complained loudly, and turned her head to pester Xiao Mimi again, but Xiao Mimi had no say in such matters, she was now a black slave.Scarlett has become a widow and can dance in black mourning clothes, but if her skin is black, it is really hopeless in this era.

Xiao Mimi was a little disappointed to hear what Allen said. If Scarlett couldn’t move freely, how could she develop with Ashley?And the Wilkes family definitely hope that the cousins, Ashley and Melanie, will get closer. Fortunately, as long as Scarlett can meet him, the two will eventually be able to have fun. Scarlett is only 14 years old Well, there are still two years before Ashley and Melanie get engaged, there are plenty of opportunities, and this child’s ability to act is one of the best.

On the day of the party, Mimi Xiao and Allen, mother and daughter, were sitting in the carriage together, while Gerald was riding a horse.But Mimi Xiao couldn’t go into the Wilkes’ hall, she had to sit in the stable with the coachman and wait.

Because she was really bored, she only had the sandwiches in the basket for dinner, Xiao Mimi took out the needlework in the straw bag before the sun set, and started to do it in a very boring way.It’s really good, although there are no unnatural skills in this world, but if Mama Hei’s unique skill of cooking and sewing clothes can be brought back to the real world, Xiao Mimi thinks that she can earn more money by working as a part-time job than being a reporter.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the sound of horseshoes “De De”. At this point, all the guests have arrived and the activity has already started. It is impolite to be late.Xiao Mimi raised her eyes to see who it was, but she didn’t know who it was. She was shocked when she saw it, and directly stuck the needle into her flesh.

She screamed in pain, attracting the attention of the visitor.

“This nanny, you are so rude to yourself!” The visitor had a moustache, was tall and handsome, and spoke foolishly, but Xiao Mimi didn’t see the slightest malice in his eyes, let alone she had seen it early in the morning. I was too shocked to know the identity of the other party, which caused the wrong hand to be injured. I only heard the other party say: “Don’t pull out the needle first, there is medicine in my saddle.”

What a gentleman, Xiao Mimi stared at the figure of Rhett Butler, as if she didn’t even feel the sharp pain in her fingers.

Scarlett was supposed to meet Rhett two years later when she confessed her love to Ashley. Has history changed?Come on, Xiao Mimi has never even been out of the house, but Scarlett hasn’t seen Rhett, it doesn’t mean that Rhett hasn’t been active around here.Although he is notorious, he is a businessman who is very good at making money. The situation in the north and the south is already quite tense. It is not unreasonable for him to try his luck here.

He even let himself run into it.

Xiao Mimi tentatively said to him: “Dear sir, you shouldn’t be late because of me, the inside has already started.”

“I’m not sure that the other party is willing to see me?” Rhett was not sure that a black nanny would understand, he seemed to be talking to himself, and threw the medicine bottle to Mimi Xiao: “I want to persuade Mr. Wilkes to deliver When it comes to cotton, I use my warehouse, and now the tension between the north and the south, the warehouse on the main road may be requisitioned at any time, not as flexible and reliable as mine.”

Xiao Mimi resolutely and wisely did not answer the conversation, pretending not to understand, but she did not dare to pull out the needle in the flesh.

“I’ll do it.” Rhett stepped forward.

Su Lun looked down from the window and saw a strange white man holding down Mama Hei. She couldn’t see what the two were doing, but Mama Hei had a painful expression on her face. She hurriedly called her sister Scarlett, just Showing her this ominous scene, Scarlett was so angry that she almost jumped up, and regardless of Alan’s coming back soon, she grabbed her skirt and ran outside.

Watching her sister run out angrily, Su Lun didn’t follow, but snickered behind her.

Xiao Mimi was applying the medicine when she heard Scarlett’s angry and coquettish cry: “What are you doing to Mammy?!”
