Continuation of "Gone with the Wind"

Chapter 54 Chinese Wisdom

"That's not bad." Scarlett tried her best to laugh at him to maintain her dignity, and the anger and sadness in her tone could only be heard by people with normal hearing in the room, "What else did he say for you to pass on, you together Say it, so I don’t have to think about it.”

Although Jack found that the situation was not as smooth as he had expected, and because of Scarlett's unique understanding, he was sailing towards the rapids and dangerous shoals all over the reefs, but it was he who provoked this, and he had the responsibility to take the helm.Even if he will be drowned by Mr. Rhett's saliva in the future, he must ensure that Miss Scarlett will not fall into the water.He thought about it quickly, and then said: "What's more, the things you can't get are the best, and the scenery in your memory is the most beautiful. There is a saying in China that sometimes you must have something in your life, and you can't force it at all times in your life." .What belongs to you is yours, what is not yours is not yours, and it is not yours, because no one will really cherish the things that are obtained out of possessiveness, which is the same as the upstarts like luxury." With Scarlett He had to find out a long time ago that he had to speak in reverse to achieve his goal.But he wouldn't say the same thing in front of Rhett if he killed him. Both of them were the most stubborn kind of people, but Rhett was at least better than Scarlett, because Scarlett could only coax him when he was persuaded.

Sure enough, Scarlett refused to listen to his heartfelt words, and said viciously that no matter what Rhett said, she would not give up, and Rhett would never want to get rid of her unless she died, no matter what.If he had the ability, he would tell her himself, don't use other people as a shield.Jack felt that the scene in front of him was very strange. A beautiful woman swears to him early in the morning, and her voice is deliberately lowered, as if the two are engaged in some kind of conspiracy.Fortunately, he can use this to make sure that Scarlett really loves Rhett, so that his efforts are not in vain.But whether this kind of love is out of possessiveness, he still has to make a final determination.It's really hard to be a matchmaker, and you have to learn to tear down the stage.

Thinking of this, he had to interrupt Scarlett aloud: "Okay, Miss Scarlett, please pause for a moment, this is not appropriate for me to say." "What's inappropriate, anyway, you I got in, and you still know so much, even if you want to stay out of it now. Besides, don’t you like meddling in your own business?” Having said that, Scarlett still slowly stopped talking, because she just said too much Yes, she needs to drink some more water.

Jack smiled wryly in his heart. Miss Scarlett had amazing insights, and she was right.But why she wants to be nosy, she definitely doesn't know this, because even she doesn't know when she got stuck here and can't extricate herself, this is knowing it but not knowing why.Even if you see through a person, you may not really understand him.By the way, that's it, no matter what the result is, at least it can make her think clearly.His eyes lit up, and he said to Scarlett: "Since you trust me so much, I would like to ask you a question." With Scarlett's permission, he summoned up his courage and said, "It's normal for you to want Mr. Ritter back." But have you ever wondered why the two of you have come to this point? Who is to blame, the war, him, or you?" After all, this is America, so there is no such thing as a "tragedy love under the feudal system" cliché plot, they're not feuds, and there won't be the familial pressures that Romeo and Juliet face.He searched the foreign countries he had seen, but found that none of them could match their love. Their love was too complicated, too full, too special, with the warmth and humor of arrogance and prejudice, and the freedom and joy of Jane Eyre. Independence, even the fierceness and violence of Wuthering Heights, but he definitely didn't want them to end up like Catherine and Heathcliff.

Scarlett's expression froze instantly, but this time she didn't stare at him again. In fact, Jack didn't know where she put her eyes. They seemed to be nowhere to be placed, and they seemed to be everywhere.Scarlett closed her eyes, and her long eyelashes covered the confusion in her eyes. When she opened them again, the confusion had disappeared, and her green eyes shone like emeralds soaked in the rain. The face was soft with the softened eyes, and it was also coated with a layer of warm luster by the sunlight outside.Jack was used to her usually strong and aggressive style, but this was the first time he had seen this kind of gentle look. He was stunned for a moment, and he didn't realize it until Scarlett started to speak.He pricked up his ears and listened carefully to her self-blame. "It's not his fault. It's all my fault. I'm too stupid to break his heart again and again before he leaves me." She talked about how Rhett helped her return to society in Atlanta during the war , how risked her life to send her back to Tara on the day the city fell, how to lend her money to encourage her to start her own business, how she even said that Rhett hugged her and comforted her when she was having nightmares. Yes, she also told Jack about the nightmare she had when she was sick, and didn't care about the sudden realization on his face and the deeper confusion afterwards.She just wanted to tell all of this. These words had been pressed in her heart for too long, and she never knew who to tell. Now that Jack wanted to listen, she just said it.Isn't he the best at comforting people, then he must be able to tell her what to do.

"Look, I'm right, no one can live without memories, even you." Jack overcame his curiosity about that strange dream, and chose this angle to talk about his views on this matter .There was another sentence which he refrained from uttering, and so did Mr. Rhett.

"Well, well, you're the smartest," said Scarlett coaxing a child, absent-mindedly.She said these things just to confide, but now she wants to get comfort from him, but he actually said that, which really disappointed her.People who originally needed to be comforted now have to comfort others in turn, what is this called.

"Thank you for the compliment." Jack's thoughtful politeness always broke her down. "But I say, you can't blame you for this. Mr. Rhett should also bear a lot of responsibility." These words successfully evoked Si Belle's interest.

"There is a saying in China that the authorities are obsessed, but the bystanders are clear. To be honest, you are really slow, otherwise you would not have waited until the end to find out that you fell in love with him; but he is not very smart, otherwise how could you not see that you have already fallen in love with him?" Falling in love with him? You don't have to say it yourself when you love someone, don't you feel the love for each other?"

"You said it lightly. After you go through this kind of thing later, you will understand that it is not so easy." Scarlett disapproved, saying that he saw the problem too superficially. "This result has nothing to do with him, if I didn't hurt him. He won't go if it's too deep." In the end, Scarlett's tone lowered, but she didn't lack confidence.

"If love really hurts so much, surely there won't be so many people going forward to serve as its sacrifices. Love should bring people joy and happiness. If each other is in so much pain, it's better to let go." Jack is very serious He stared at her, but he was thinking of other things.

"I also thought about letting go, but I can't." Scarlett smiled miserably, "It's so easy for you to say, because you haven't loved him yet. I love him, and I won't give up on him. I can't lie to myself that I Don’t love him, and then find a new person. As you said, people should not lie to themselves, nor can they lie to themselves.”

"Even if he doesn't love you anymore, will you still love him?" Jack was about to tell the truth, but he still controlled himself and told a white lie.Luckily Rhett wasn't here.

"Yes." Scarlett looked at him hard and opened her heart completely.

"Well, you are great." Jack concluded. "No wonder people say that women's love is greater than men's. Great things last longer."

"Don't talk to me about it, I don't understand." Scarlett didn't care about his compliment, it meant nothing to her.

"Then let's change the subject." Jack raised his head and looked over the sofa at the sky outside. The sun had already risen very high. It seemed that Tara's people were about to wake up. Time was running out, so he had to speed up. "I still don't give up my opinion. There is a saying in China, you don't have to blame yourself too much if you can't clap your hands. To be honest, I think it would be better if you didn't meet at the beginning. If it wasn't for Mr. Ritter, You would not go step by step against the whole Southern society until you broke with it; if it hadn't been for Mr. Rhett, you wouldn't be what you are today; if it weren't for Mr. Rhett, you wouldn't have suffered Now these pains; if it wasn't for Mr. Rhett, you might go back, but now because of him, because you still love him, you can never go back." God, what did he say, it ain't What he wanted to say at the beginning, but he said it so smoothly, without even a pause.However, given Miss Scarlett's disobedient character, perhaps these words had unexpected effects.

"Shut up!" Scarlett couldn't tolerate others insulting her beloved, and she was completely irrational at this time, "If it wasn't for Rhett, I would have died in Atlanta; if it hadn't been for Rhett, I would have died. I won’t go to Charleston, and get back Tara’s property rights; if it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have such a good life now. What do you know, dare to say that about him?” Jack wanted to remind her that if he hadn’t stolen the ledger She didn't want to go back to Tara at all, but because he was at fault first, he also put up with Scarlett taking the credit for Rhett.

"I'm sorry to make you unhappy." Regardless of whether he was wrong or not, he must be the one who apologized when he had an argument with others, and Jack was used to this.Besides, this time it was indeed my fault, so there is nothing wrong with it.In any case, my goal has been achieved, and nothing else matters.

In order to make up for his mistakes, Jack offered to say: "Maybe you can say goodbye to Mr. Rhett. He is leaving today. He asked me to tell you yesterday that he is going north today."

"What? You didn't say it earlier, where is he?" Scarlett jumped up from the sofa in shock, but just in time to see Rhett coming out of the nursery and saying goodbye to Wade Ella, she was stunned.
