Continuation of "Gone with the Wind"

Chapter 88 Jack's departure

"Okay, please wait for me, please." After standing in front of the door for a while, Paul didn't intend to let her in from the beginning to the end. Scarlett also felt that she didn't need to go in. It's strange that he doesn't even do superficial work, at least he should give way out of politeness.But she quickly found a reason for him: a boy who had been alone in a closed space for so long, finally came out and saw an unexpected person, and it was understandable to be nervous for a while.Besides, the boys' rooms were quite dirty, and she could smell a strange smell at the door. If she really wanted to go in, she would probably faint from the smoke.

Scarlett was in trouble when she checked out. When the waiter went up to check the room, she screamed like a woman, and then ran down with a pale face and yelled at Paul, looking at what you did, why did you mess up on the wall? Draw, look at him, if Scarlett hadn't been there, Paul would definitely have been beaten.The boss didn't say anything, but the staff actively said that they wanted Scarlett to compensate for the loss of the wall, all in a rush to ask for credit from the boss.Scarlett didn't bother to care whether what they said was true or not, and she didn't bother to go up to check. She didn't even blame Paul for worrying about it, but said that no matter how much money she had, it would be on her account.Because Rhett paid a month's rent, and now only two weeks have passed, and she did not come to check out in person, the boss even suspected that Scarlett was here to cheat money, which really pissed her off. Said that since this is the case, I don't want the rest of the money, and save it to buy a bucket of new paint for this shabby place, so as not to look frustrated, no wonder no one wants to come.Although the owner of the shop is a profiteer who took advantage of the face, but when he heard a well-dressed lady say this, his face was somewhat uncomfortable.Scarlett didn't care about them, she turned around and pulled Paul up and left.She knows that this kind of hotel is not as formal as the National Hotel she stayed in New Orleans, since the boss is not worried about Weslow?Mr. Bird may come to trouble Paul because of his departure, so she doesn't have to worry about it.Informal things have their advantages, money can do it conveniently.

Disson's carriage was parked outside alone but very firmly. The coachman was feeding the horse water. The horse was really thirsty and didn't care about drinking.His condition is not as good as that of a horse. He only cares about giving the horse a drink, and he is so hot that he seems to have just been taken out of the water. I am afraid he will faint if he stays a little longer, but Scarlett believes that even if If he faints, he will also faint behind the horse, and the horse will take him back by itself.

The best servant is the one who talks the least, and whose eyes and ears are always turned toward his master.He didn't care about Scarlett bringing a child out of it. He just drove the car dully and left this kind of problem to the master.

Scarlett didn't tell the truth to Disson's questioning eyes, but simply said that the child was Rhett's distant relative, and he asked her to help take care of it for a while.Dison didn't seem to be completely convinced by these words, but he didn't ask any more questions out of politeness.

The carriage moved silently in the dull atmosphere because no one spoke, but the outside environment did not calm down. The noisy cicadas disturbed Scarlett's thoughts tirelessly, but she tried her best not to be too affected. Influenced by her, she wanted to take advantage of the time before returning to Disson's house to take care of the things that she had to do alone in the future.

First of all, Rhett seems to be really in danger this time, even if he is not sent to the gallows in the end, he may have to shed a layer of skin.Disson had already told himself that this was not an easy matter. His imposing commander could only temporarily save Ritter's life under the pressure of Shangfeng. I don't know what level of dignitaries Ritter offended. It wouldn't be President Grant who has made great military achievements but has no political achievements, right?Scarlett didn't want to worry about politics, so she just thought about it and put it aside. She was concerned about how she could get Rhett out.He personally vetoed her naive idea in prison. The power saved him last time, but this time he wanted to kill him, because the people in power have changed, even though they are essentially the same.Scarlett found it ironic, but of course she couldn't laugh.

Disson couldn't count on it. You could tell from his expression that there were only two words written on it, which was useless.I have to find an official with a higher position, at least at the level of a general.She didn't realize that she was confusing military rank with military rank, and she was only thinking about whom to call to get Rhett out, but she couldn't think of it.And she also knew that even if she thought about it, people might not be willing to see her, let alone let a dangerous person go.In the past, all things that were not in her favor or that she could not do could easily provoke her into a rage. Although her temper is not so irritable now because of Jack, it is only a change in degree, and she can't see things. The essence is still as stable as Mount Tai.So after scolding herself for being incompetent and Rhett being stupid in her heart, she even felt a burst of dissatisfaction with Disson who helped her in the crime against the wind.

The matter couldn't be resolved for a while, so she gave herself a headache for a while and then let it go.Seeing Paul who was uncomfortable and bowed his head in silence, she silently compared how similar he was to his mother Ellen and Bell.Since she admitted that Paul was her cousin, and that he was of the Robillard blood, he should also have the Robillard traits in appearance alone.The first thing that catches her eye is Paul's reddish hair, which seems to be smudged by splashing red wine on it. Distortion, like a photo that fell into a red ink bottle, was vulgar. She only thought that she had dyed it out. Now looking at Paul, she realized that her conclusion was not entirely correct.If Belle hadn't deliberately dyed it so exaggeratedly, she would have looked very demure.This kind of red did not arouse her disgust, but gave her a lively and enthusiastic feeling, reminding her of the carefree Tarleton brothers.Although it makes her sad to think about them now, especially when Karin goes to a convent for Brent, Will chooses Suellen for Karin, and even India, whom she never liked, becomes old because of Stuart. Virgo all arouses her sorrow.She should have discovered that the people around her, whether they are relatives, friends, enemies, or even people she doesn't know very well, all have rough fates. I have stumbled every time, I really don’t know how many people God will let suffer before he is willing to let his people go.War, death, ruins, reconstruction, the entire South collapsed, and it is still struggling to heal the wounds of war and strive to rise again. They are just a small microcosm of suffering.Although she is self-centered, it's not that she doesn't care about the south. When Meili was still alive, she and she discussed in Tara what the girls in the south should do without the support of men, but she was because of The dead husband worried that women like her would have a hard life and had to be an old maid, and Mei Li was concerned about what women would do if they had no children.Instead of thinking about the children, she has been thinking about how to charm more men, which makes her really ashamed now.She didn't think about how to be a good mother, and she didn't think about how to be a good wife at all. If she had thought about this earlier, Rhett would not have left, and naturally she would not have such a prisoner today. The dilemma before her made her nervous.Well, obviously thinking about Paul has involved himself and Rhett again, so don't waste time.

There was nothing like Belle about Paul except for his hair and eyes, which at first pleased her a little - she didn't know why she was happy - but soon felt wrong.Scarlett studied Paul's face carefully, trying to figure out what it was about him that made her feel wrong.

His eyes are brown, darker than Bell's eyes, not as black as his mother's, but they match his hair color very well, and he looks energetic—although he can't see it now with his head down.The tall and strong figure, the straight and firm nose, and the square jaw are all carved out of the same mold as my mother.The combination of these appearance features that should have made Scarlet feel friendly made her look a little awkward. Although this did not affect her admitting that Paul would definitely be a handsome man in the future, she just didn't know how to describe her feelings.

Unworthy, the word suddenly popped into Scarlett's mind.She suddenly realized, and found the reason why she felt awkward.She didn't have any views of the family, but they were originally two people who shouldn't meet, but they were arranged together by fate, and they even had children. In the end, they parted ways and the wrongdoer disappeared. Bell became that kind of woman. She felt sad that her children were suffering with them, and she couldn't help but feel a little more love for Paul, but she couldn't show her care for him in the way of a real mother.Maybe Jack could tell her what to do.Not only Paul, but also about Bell and Philip, doesn't he know everything?

Deep down in her heart, she still couldn't accept Bell's profession, and her dress was indeed bad enough to make her feel uncomfortable.Although she has been comparing the similarities between her mother and Paul, she is also conflicted in her heart. She doesn't know whether to be grateful that Paul looks like his mother Ellen or that he is not exactly like Ellen.She also knew that it was Philip who finally accepted this comparison?Robillard—since they were cousins, some resemblance was inevitable.

Scarlett didn't expect that Lanli would stand at the door of that big house against the sun.Her face was very anxious. Seeing Scarlett and Deason came back was like seeing a savior, and she ran towards them immediately. Scarlett had known her for so long and had never seen her lose her composure.Just as she was about to go up to her and ask her what happened, she saw an envelope in Lan Li's hand. She took it suspiciously, and was about to open it to see what was inside, but the movement of her hand stopped because of Lan Li's words. Stopped: "It's not good Scarlett, Jack and Kevin are gone."
