Chapter 52: The Drunken Boudoir

Mrs. Hill introduced me to my cousin, Mrs. Madan. Soon after her husband's death, Jacqueline and her maidservant came from Savannah to live in Atlanta.

Two pieces of information: one, Madame Martin's name is Jacqueline; Second, there is no child yet, otherwise there would be no "with a maidservant".

Mrs. Martin has a pointed chin, but the lines of her face are very soft, and her complexion is white and delicate. The bridge of the nose is straight, and the tip of the nose is round and small. The pupils are pure, pale green, without a hint of variegation. The tail of the eyelashes is slightly raised, adding a touch of playfulness to this serene face.

The thick chestnut hair was combed back and pulled back with a black hairnet.

She wore a black taffeta tight top and a wide skirt with wrist-length sleeves, and there was no lace or decoration on her body except for the onyx brooch necessary for mourning clothes at the neckline.

The buttons of the blouse were buttoned down to the throat, and above the black collar was a white, rounded, slender neck.

Guan Zhuofan's gaze drifted over the full and sleek curves outlined by the tight top on Mrs. Ma Dan's chest, and his mouth was dry: This woman, have I seen it anywhere? Or, in which book, in which movie?

The faint restlessness in the body before suddenly became very strong.

Mrs. Ma Dan stood up, tall and tall, not much shorter than Guan Zhuofan.

She stretched out her hand with a smile, Guan Zhuofan held it, through the gloves, she could feel the slender and soft fingers of the beauty, Guan Zhuofan lowered her head and kissed it gently.

Was it the etiquette of the time to kiss a widow? I don't know, whatever.

Mrs. Mardan spoke: "Your Excellency, from Savannah to Atlanta. Every lady and lady is talking about you. ”

The sound is soft and pleasant.

Guan Zhuofan: "Mrs. Ma Dan. I'm so sorry. Such an unpleasant topic was offered to the ladies of the South. ”

Madame Mardan pursed her lips and smiled: "Your Excellency Duke, we are not men. In the eyes of the ladies, you and Robert? General Lee, like that, was a real knight. ”

Guan Zhuofan bowed slightly: "I am very honored." ”

Madame Martin continued: "In fact, even the men of the South regard you as a hero, but they admit that this hero is not so pleasant to them. ”

The soft tones are like the breeze blowing through the fields of flowers in the evening. Guan Zhuofan was slightly drunk, well, I really like it.

Beside them, the Hills exchanged a subtle glance knowingly.

After a staggered round, Willy? Hill announced that the prom was about to begin.

At that time, the prom in the southern part of the United States was basically a program: the first dance was the Virginia dance, which was a "group dance" to warm up the audience. Then comes the waltz, where the main part of the dance begins.

This was followed by polka, Scottish and polan. As with the waltz, each dance genre begins. All open with a Virginian dance.

Virginia Dance needs a lead dancer, and this lead dancer is naturally the most distinguished guest on the field, Duke Guan Yixuan. The lead dancer also needs a dance partner, so who will Duke Guan Yixuan choose as a dance partner?

The ladies of Atlanta all looked at Kwan Zhuofan with shy and eager eyes.

The answer soon came out: Mrs. Madan.

The hall was filled with whispers.

The ladies are naturally disappointed, but that's not the most important thing. And most importantly: Jacqueline? How can Ma Dan do such a thing before he is in a hot mourning? Doesn't Duke Guan know this rule of the United States? Mrs. Ma Dan naturally couldn't accept this invitation, so where would Commander-in-Chief Guan's face go?

In fact, Guan Zhuofan knew this rule, but he was not worried at all. For he also knew that a widow who had not been mourned was not supposed to be present in such a public social setting. Since people are here, the rules are cloudy, and they naturally know what to expect.

Sure enough, Willie? Hill was stunned for a moment, and then his face was full of joy, saying that his wife and sister were very honored to be the dance partner of His Excellency the Duke.

And Mrs. Martin kept that faint and touching smile all the time, and did not express any objection.

So, the men in a row and the women in a row, standing facing each other, the first one, the men's side is Guan Zhuofan, and the women's side is Mrs. Ma Dan.

Mrs. Ma Dan pulled open her skirt, curtsy to Guan Zhuofan, and then smiled. This smile was so bright that Guan Zhuofan's mind shook slightly, and she felt that her whole body was covered with a faint halo.

Guan Zhuofan put his hand on his chest and bowed back.

The band played a Virginia dance tune, which Kwan Zhuofan was familiar with in another time and space: "Dixie".

"Your Excellency, thank you for inviting me to be your dance partner."

"Madame, I am proud to have you as my companion."

"But, then, I'm in Atlanta...... It's going to be talked about. ”

"They're jealous of you. In my opinion, this is the most haode compliment for a woman. ”

"You are really good at talking, Lord Duke."

"You can call me Yixuan, ma'am."

……

"Yixuan...... My name is Jacqueline. ”

……

"You've waltzed so well, Yixuan."

"Xiexie, Jacqueline, I've been worried about stepping on your feet."

"You really know how to tell jokes and step on my feet, how can you? Oh, but, you're hugging me too tightly......"

"Sorry, I might be a little drunk."

"Drunk?"

"There is a saying in China: if you don't get drunk, everyone gets drunk."

"I don't understand."

"Your green eyes are full of wine."

Guan Zhuofan didn't say all the gossip, he was indeed a little drunk.

Alcohol is forbidden in the barracks, and the commander must lead by example, since leaving Washington, Guan Zhuofan has not touched a drop of alcohol. There was already a round of drinking before the dance, and between each dance, I drank a lot. Brandy, whiskey, champagne, red wine, white wine, tequila, and some other wines that he couldn't name, he drank a bunch of miscellaneous wines, and it was a bit of a head.

In the drunken eyes, I can see that she is even more beautiful, with a hundred flowers and a loss of face, and the desire in her body is rising, and she can hardly help herself.

Moreover, he is far from alone in having a taste for alcohol.

By this time of the war, supplies were in dire straits, and the wine cellars of most wealthy families in Atlanta were empty. Ciel, it's a skill to get so much wine for a long time! Many of the guests had long since faded out of their mouths, and there was such a good opportunity to naturally let themselves drink, so there were fewer and fewer people on the dance floor, and more and more people were stumbling on the sofas and chairs.

Willie? Hill saw that it was not a matter of not allowing any guest to be drunk in front of Commander-in-Chief Guan, and besides, Commander-in-Chief Guan himself was obviously a little vain, so he told his wife and sister to take Commander-in-Chief Guan upstairs to rest and sober up.

Jacqueline? Ma Dan took Guan Zhuofan's arm and walked upstairs.

TΓΊrin and Zhang Chenglin immediately followed. Guan Zhuofan smiled and waved his hand to them, signaling that they didn't have to follow, but neither of them seemed to see it, Guan Zhuofan had no choice but to let them go.

When they came to a room on the second floor, of course Tu and Zhang couldn't go in together, but Tu Lin still insisted on going in first and went around, and when he saw that there was nothing unusual, he retreated and stayed at the door with Zhang Chenglin.

The door was closed, and it was an embroidery room, covered with brocade veil, and the fragrance was permeating.

Well, it's Jacqueline's boudoir.

Jacqueline? Ma Dan helped Guan Zhuofan to sit on the bed, and at this time, someone knocked on the door.

Jacqueline went to open the door, and a pair of slender hands came in with a tray with a cup of tea on it. Guan Zhuofan didn't see the face of the person clearly, only saw the blonde hair, well, is it the maid of Jacqueline?

Jacqueline put the tray on the table, took the tea, and sat down next to Guan Zhuofan.

Guan Zhuofan took the tea, didn't drink it, casually put it on the bedside table, turned around, and hugged Jacqueline.

Can't wait any longer.

Jacqueline muttered softly, but did not dodge, hugging Guan Zhuofan's shoulder, the four lips glued together, and the tongue searched for the tongue.

It was a long, deep kiss, and before Jacqueline could barely catch her breath, Kwan let go of her slightly and began to unbutton her dress.

God, how many buttons does this black dress have?

Guan Zhuofan was anxious: If you don't do it yourself, I will tear your clothes.

Jacqueline chuckled, turned slightly, and unbuttoned her tight blouse one by one.
