Continuation of "Gone with the Wind"

Chapter 130 Eight Guards of Tara

After all, the robbery incident some time ago left me with lingering fears, but no matter what, Scarlett became more determined, Rhett could show up at any time, and Scarlett simply closed her eyes and went to sleep after getting on the train.The train sounded "Che-Che-Che-Che" all the way, but Scarlett seemed to be too tired, until the train arrived at the station, Scarlett was woken up by the conductor.

Carrying the luggage, Scarlett decided to go to see Bell as the first stop.After all, I have to help Bell change to a decent job. This is the only way Paul can accept Bell in the future.

But no matter how Scarlett searched, she couldn't find the house Bell rented, and of course Bell disappeared.Scarlett let out a long sigh of relief, where did Bell go?Is it possible to pick up customers in broad daylight?That's not Belle's personality.But for the sake of living, Scarlett really didn't want to think about it.

At this moment, a man wearing a black top hat passed by. Scarlett couldn't help kissing him and asked, "Sir, I want to ask Bell? Do you know Bell Watling?" Scruples, after all, Bell's career is really not something that can be taken out.

The man accepted Scarlett's inquiry very gentlemanly, but when Scarlett asked about Bell's situation, he still couldn't help frowning. Some inquiries were a little suspicious, as if Scarlett shouldn't have asked this question.However, the man cleared his throat, and seemed to have made up his mind to ask back: "You look so elegant, are you Bell's friend?"

Scarlett nodded. Although she didn't want others to know about this relationship, she was indeed a good friend of Bell, and now that Bell was gone, Scarlett was still a little worried.

"Don't you know that Bell is now the owner of the biggest clothing store on our street in Atlanta? God, she has finally reformed. This can be regarded as God gave her the right revelation." The man seems to have a little pity, " However, she always brings us different feelings and surprises."

Of course, Scarlett understood what the man meant by the feeling, but now she only wanted to know about Bell, but the man said just now, what is the biggest clothing store? Could it be that Bell went to open a clothing store?Scarlett quickly raised her most beautiful green eyes, and asked with a smile: "So you mean Bell opened a clothing store?"

The man looked at Scarlett suspiciously, and really couldn't understand that such an elegant person was Bell's friend, but all kinds of rare things happen these days: "Yes, it's at No. [-] South Street, where Bell's clothes are. shop."

Scarlett looked at the man suddenly showing a lewd look, and couldn't help but want to kick him, but she was alone and in this remote place, so it's better not to take risks, "Thank you." She said, quickly Turning around, she trotted towards South Street. She didn't want to be misunderstood by that person as having the same profession as Bell. Scarlett suddenly felt that she was still very selfish.

Scarlett was really surprised, how could Bell have the money to open a clothing store, and it was the largest clothing store in Atlanta?This really confuses her, but she really made a mistake just now, she should go back to Peachtree Street to ask the housekeeper, ask Uncle Henry, what is going on, and she won't be in such a mess.Scarlett felt a little tired holding the luggage, but it was hard to find a servant here, so she had to find a car and drive herself to Bell's clothing store.

Bell, who was greeting the guests, did not see Scarlett walking in.Instead, Scarlett pretended to be a customer and looked around Bell's store. She saw that the clothing store was quite luxuriously decorated, and the clothes it sold were all very tasteful.Scarlett murmured in her heart, why is Bell so rich?Did she suddenly become rich?Scarlett regretted not asking Bell about the last time she came to Atlanta. Of course, her mistakes were all because of Rhett, who disturbed her emotions.Scarlett couldn't help but think of Rhett again, it was Rhett again.

Scarlett's gaze stayed on a purple tunic dress, which was the best flannel, with a white lace neckline. My God, Scarlett's gaze was instantly lit up. This dress It looks ordinary, but there is a positive force everywhere.Scarlett put down the luggage in her hand, and couldn't help rubbing the dress.

After Bell waited for the customers at hand to leave, she still found Scarlett. She was very happy to see Scarlett, and she was even more happy that Scarlett came to her clothing store.

"Scarlett, is it really you?" Bell walked over gently, because she found that Scarlett was attracted by that dress.

Scarlett woke up all of a sudden, and when she heard Bell's voice, she quickly turned her head and smiled, "Bell, you are so amazing now, you have opened such a big clothing store, and the clothes here are still so beautiful, are you Have you made a fortune?" Scarlett couldn't hide her inner joy and asked.

Bell hurriedly pulled Scarlett over.When she was a prostitute before, she didn't dare to hold Scarlett's hand in public, but it's different now, she is now the owner of the biggest clothing store.

"Let me show you around. I'll give you whatever clothes you like." Bell said generously.

Scarlett squeezed out a smile, compared to visiting here, Scarlett actually wanted to solve the doubts in her heart.Bell can also see Scarlett's thoughts, but Bell hopes that Scarlett can abandon her previous views on herself and truly accept her current self.

After Bell led Scarlett around, Scarlett realized that the clothing store had two floors, and the clothes on the upper floor were even more gorgeous.Bell explained that the above is specially prepared for some noble ladies and wives. In fact, they are not here to buy clothes, but to show off.Scarlett understood Belle's words.

"Bell, how did you do it?" Scarlett still couldn't help asking.

Bell had already made plans and was ready to tell the whole story, but Scarlett interrupted Bell all of a sudden: "Is it Rhett?" Scarlett still thought that Rhett must have helped Bell. Could it be that he gave all the money to Bell?This really made Scarlett unacceptable. After all, if Rhett really did this, Scarlett would definitely not agree.Scarlett actually felt a little jealous, feeling sour in her heart.

Of course, Bell could guess that Scarlett would think of Rhett, so in order to dispel Scarlett’s doubts, Bell still took Scarlett to sit on the side of the guest seat, and said to Scarlett with a smile: “Scarlett, we are no longer friends. It’s been a year or two. But I can tell you clearly that Rhett didn’t help me here, he may or may not know about my opening of the store. But I think he should know.”

Scarlett suddenly felt that Rhett seemed to have many things that she didn't know. She was really not as understanding as Bell. She always thought that Bell could solve Rhett's inner distress, but she couldn't. Now it seems that Bell really is a nice guy.

"Then, Bell, can you tell me how you opened this clothing store?" When Scarlett had doubts in her heart, she wanted to clarify the matter.

Bell sighed, staring at Scarlett's beautiful green eyes and said: "Scarlett, you are still so tempered, you know that sometimes it's better not to ask anything. The same is true for Captain Butler, you love him , then you have to give him a certain amount of free space, and don’t push him too tightly. And you always look aggressive, so the more you watch him closely, the more you won’t be able to grasp it.”

Scarlett doesn't know this truth, but often she loves Ruite too much, and she is more afraid of losing.Maybe in the future, I really want to give Ritter a certain amount of space.

Bell saw that his words were useful to Scarlett, so he decided to dispel all Scarlett's doubts, "This store is Mr. Philip Robillard."

"What? It's Philip? My uncle?" Scarlett was shocked. How could her uncle be in contact with Bell?And that uncle, Scarlett really didn't want to comment on him. All this was beyond her expectations. Scarlett still wanted to ask something, but it looked like Bell didn't want to answer anything.

Scarlett held back the doubts in her heart and changed the subject: "Well then, Bell, no matter what, it's always good to have someone to help. Seeing your clothing store in full swing, I'm really happy for you. By the way , Paul is living a good life. You don’t have to worry about this, Rhett is still his guardian now, take everything slowly. I should go back, I’m a little tired today.” After Scarlett finished speaking, she stood up and said goodbye to Bell .

Bell grabbed Scarlett, quickly took the purple corset dress that Scarlett liked before, wrapped it up, and handed it to Scarlett: "You helped me a lot before, this is for you, I hope you like it."

Scarlett did not refuse.After bidding farewell to Bell, he returned to his home on Peachtree Street.There is still only a housekeeper in the family, but Uncle Henry and the others are nervously preparing for business. Scarlett suddenly misses Tara and wonders how Tara's cotton harvest is going.Remembering the white cotton, Scarlett decided to rush back to Tara the next day.

After resting all night, Scarlett appeared in Tara the next day in good spirits.When she set foot on Tara's land, Scarlett felt that she had found her home. Tara, this place will always be her home, and this place will always be her safe haven for healing.

Back at Tara, Scarlett found that the guards guarding Tara turned out to be guards with live ammunition, which surprised her a little.

When the children saw that it was Scarlett who came back, they hurriedly called for Scarlett to play with them. It was true that they hadn't seen Scarlett for a long time, but Scarlett wanted to see what Tara had become now.She told Will to prepare some weapons and be ready to fight those Yankee bandits at any time. Judging from this situation, Will should be ready.
