"Alright, don't be angry, miss. It doesn't matter who you marry, as long as he is in love with you, the right person, and his character is decent. For women, love comes only after marriage. ”

"Oh, Dad, that's all the same old idea."

"But it's a good idea! Fooling around, falling in love and getting married, this set is all done by slaves, American Yankees and the like! The most satisfying marriage is one in which the parents are in charge. Because how can a fool like you tell the difference between a good guy and a bad guy? Well, let's take a look at the Welks. How can they be passed down from generation to generation and prosper? The reason is to marry their kind, to marry their cousins, who have always been favored by their family. ”

"Ahh Scarlett exclaimed, her father's words made her deeply feel that facts are facts after all, and this situation was inevitable, and she couldn't help but feel sad again. Her father saw her head bowed and staggering.

"You're not crying, are you?" He asked, clumsily touching her chin, trying to hold up her face, and he felt distressed, and he couldn't help but feel sad.

"Yes." She twisted away, screaming desperately.

"You're lying, but I'm smug. I'm glad you still have self-esteem, girl. And I'm going to see you have self-esteem at tomorrow's banquet. You are infatuated with other people, and they don't take you to heart at all except for treating you as a friend. I don't want the county people to gossip about you and make fun of you because of that. ”

"He's got me in his heart," Scarlett thought, in agony, "oh, I think so much about it." I know he has me in his heart. I can see that. If time permits, I know I can get him to speak, as long as the Welkes don't keep thinking they have to marry their cousins. ”

He threw the reins to a black child standing in front of the road and walked up the steps. He had long forgotten about Scarlett's sadness, and only wanted to play a trick on his own personal valet. Scarlett followed him slowly up the steps, her steps heavy. She thought that her marriage to Ashley must not be more awkward than the relationship between her parents. She often wondered how a noisy and slow-witted person like her father could marry a woman like her mother, because these two people were very different from each other in terms of origin, upbringing, and personality.

Before a girl gets married, the most important thing is to be cute, gentle, beautiful and know how to dress up, but after getting married, she has to take care of a family of about 100 people, including whites and blacks. They are all trained in this area.

Ellen, like any well-educated young lady, has this premarital preparation education. Besides, she also has a black mother, and the black mother has a set of methods to deal with the laziest black slaves. She quickly put Gerald's home in order and dignity, and gave Tara Manor a beauty she had never seen before.

She knows that her childhood sweetheart's partner will always become a lover in the future, and the first duty of a girl is to marry. She secretly said that this child was just too energetic, and it was too late to teach her the skills and demeanor to charm men.

Therefore, Ellen and Black Mother did their best to teach her, and when she grew up a little, although she did not grow much in other aspects, she was actually able to understand it at all.

Together, they taught her everything a lady should know, but she only learned the grace of appearance. As for the inner beauty that this gesture is supposed to burst out, she has never learned it, and she doesn't understand the need to learn it. It's enough to have an appearance, because having a lady's appearance is very popular, and that's exactly what she wants. Gerald boasted that she was a beautiful woman in all five counties, but this was somewhat true, for almost all the boys in the neighborhood had proposed to her, and many had come from as far away as Atlanta and Savannah to propose to her.

Thanks to the teachings of her mother and mother, by the age of sixteen she was charming and charming, but her demeanor was frivolous, and she was willful, stubborn, and vain in her bones. She inherited the excitability of her Irish father, without the selfless and tolerant nature of her mother, and at most had a thin appearance. Ellen didn't see her disguise at all, because Scarlett always put on a well-behaved appearance in front of her mother, concealing her deviant behavior, restraining her temper, and acting in a gentle manner, because whenever her mother looked at her with reproachful eyes, she would cry with shame.

However, the black mother has no illusions about her, and the black mother always pays attention to her true nature. The black mother has better eyes than the mother, and Scarlett can't think of anything in this life that can be hidden from the black mother.

Scarlett was elated and lively, and the two loving teachers were not worried. These are the very personalities that women in the South are proud of. They were just worried that Gerald had passed on that stubborn and impatient personality to her. Sometimes they are afraid that these bad qualities of hers will not be hidden from the day when she finds Ruyi Langjun. I didn't think that Scarlett was going to get married, and she was going to marry Ashley, if the qualities of demure, docile, and unassertive could attract men, then she would rather pretend to be like this. But why men like this, she doesn't know. All she knew worked. She is not interested in the reasons for this, because she is not good at studying human psychology, and she can't even figure out her own mental activities. All she knew was that if she did this, or said it like that, the man would answer her like that. It's like a mathematical formula, it's not that hard. Because math was the easiest subject for Scarlett to learn in school.

If she doesn't know much about the psychology of men, then she knows even less about the psychology of women, because she is even less interested in women.

She never had a girlfriend, and she never felt any shortcomings because of this. For her, all women, including her two younger sisters, are her natural enemies when chasing the same prey, the man.

All women except her mother are her enemies.

Mother is different, Scarlett sees her as a divine person who no other mortal can compare. Scarlett used to confuse her mother with the Virgin Mary as a child, and now that she's older, she still sees no reason to change her mind. For her, Ellen is the backer, and only God and motherhood can make people feel so reassured. She knew that her mother was a remarkable woman who had embodied justice, loyalty, love, and wisdom.

Scarlett wanted to be like her mother. But what makes it difficult for her is that to be fair, loyal, gentle and selfless, she will miss out on a lot of the joys of life, and she will miss out on a lot of lovers. Life is too short to miss out on these funs. When she marries Ashley one day, she will be old, and when she has free time one day, she will be ready to follow her mother's example. By then, though...... At dinner that day, in the absence of her mother, Scarlett presided over the opening of the meal, but the terrible news of Ashley and Melanie's engagement churned in her heart. She eagerly awaited her mother's return from Slattery's house, for she felt lost and lonely without her by her side. The Slattery family was always sick, so why did they call her out when she needed her so badly?
