A Dream in Red Mansions
Author: Cao Xueqin
When Nu Wa tried to make up the sky by refining stones, an unused stone was abandoned at the foot of Gengqingfeng. This stone has spiritual power, big and small, and comes and goes freely. Because I was not selected to fill the sky, I often felt sad and blamed myself. Monks, monks and Taoist priests saw his cuteness and took him to "a prosperous country, a journey of poetry and ceremony, a land of prosperous flowers and willows, a country of wealth and tenderness." I don't know how long it took. When the empty Taoist passed by, he saw his experience carved on a stone, so he copied it from beginning to end and gave it to Cao Xueqin to read, add, delete and divide chapters. Here are the things carved on the stone. There is a gourd temple outside Nagato in Gusu. Zhen Yinshi, a town official, lives next to the temple. Jia Yucun, a poor Confucian scholar who lives in a temple, gave him money to catch the exam. On the night of Lantern Festival, Zhen's daughter was abducted; Soon because of the Hulu Temple fire; The Zhen family was burned down again. Zhen took his wife to his father-in-law, was looked down upon, and became a monk with a lame Taoist.
Jinshi in the county magistrate was dismissed for being greedy for money, and later went to Lin Daiyu, the daughter of salt policy tutor Lin. Workers returning from Beijing. Jia Yucun asked Yue's family for help: Lin's mother-in-law wanted to take Daiyu to her side because she lost her mother. Lin asked to send Daiyu back to Beijing. Jia Yucun is connected with the Guo Rong family. With the help of Lin Ruhai's brother-in-law, Jia Zheng, he was appointed as Yingtianfu in Jinling.
When Daiyu entered the mansion, in addition to Jia Mu, she also met her great aunt, that is, Mrs. Xing, the wife of Jia She, and her second aunt, that is, Mrs. Wang, the wife of Jia Zheng, the niece of Mrs. Wang, the wife of Jia Lian, the son of Jia She, and Jia Baoyu, who was born in Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun and Baoyu. Baodai and Baodai felt deja vu at first sight, but Baoyu broke his psychic jade because he saw his beautiful cousin Daiyu, which caused an unhappiness.
Jia Yucun was on trial in Yingtianfu, and Lian Win was kidnapped. The buyer is Aunt Xue's son, Mrs. Wang's sister, and Xue Pan from Imperial Merchants' House. Although Xue Pan killed the original buyer for Lian Win, Jia Yucun decided the case at will and let Xue Pan go. Xue Pan and his mother and sister Xue Baochai also live in Guo Rongfu.
Plum blossoms are in full bloom in Ningguo Mansion, and Jia Zhen's wife, You Shi, invited Jia Mu and others to enjoy the plum blossoms. Jia Baoyu took a nap, lived in Jia Zhen's daughter-in-law Qin Keqing's bedroom, fell asleep, watched the album Twelve Women in Jinling, listened to the song A Dream of Red Mansions, and had sex with the fairy Ke Qing. After waking up, wet dream was discovered by the maid and they had sex.
Wang Gou, a descendant of Beijing officials, has been reduced to farming in the countryside. Because my ancestors used to live with Mrs. Wang and Xifeng's family, I asked my mother-in-law granny Liu to go to Guo Rongfu to find Mrs. Wang for a windfall. Wang Xifeng accepted it and gave twenty taels of silver.
Xue Baochai once received a monk's golden lock and has been wearing it ever since. Daiyu was jealous of the idea of a good marriage and often secretly laughed at Baochai and warned Baoyu.
Jia Zhen's father, Jia Jing, abandoned his official position and left home to seek immortality. On his birthday, Jia Zhen held a banquet at home to celebrate. Because of Lin Ruhai's illness, Jia Lian took Daiyu to Gusu, and his brother Jia Rui molested Xifeng, who teased him and died.
After Qin Keqing died, Jia Zhen lived a luxurious life. Not only did he choose the best things, but he also spent two thousand dollars to donate a dragon to his son as a funeral set. On the way to the funeral, Feng coveted 3,200 pieces of silver, separated her lover, and made a young man and woman commit suicide in anger.
After Lin Ruhai's death, Daiyu had to live in Fu Rong. A feeling of desolation hung over her, and she often secretly shed tears, and her illness became more and more serious.
Yuan Chun, Jia Zheng's eldest daughter, was made a princess, and the emperor allowed the mothering. In order to welcome this grand ceremony, Guo Rongfu built an extremely luxurious Grand View Garden, and also purchased actresses, nuns, Taoist priests, and Miaoyu, who was born in a famous family and entered Guo Rongfu due to illness. On the night of Lantern Festival, Yuan Chun went back to her mother's house for a while and asked Baoyu and other sisters to present poems. Daiyu wanted to show off her talent, but she was ordered to write only one song. Chen Jiao, the xiren, said that he would leave Baoyu. Baoyu was deeply sorry and begged Allen not to go. Aaron took the opportunity to persuade Baoyu to study and "get down to business." Baoyu and Daiyu are young and affectionate. Because of Xue Baochai or other trivial matters. The two often quarrel, and their feelings get deeper and deeper in constant quarrels.
Baochai sang opera on her birthday, and Xiao Dan looks like Daiyu. Shi Xiangyun, the granddaughter of Grandmother Jia's family, quickly said that Baoyu was afraid of Daiyu's anger and stopped her, which made both of them angry with Baoyu. Yuan Chun is worried that the Grand View Garden will be idle. So Baoyu and his sisters moved in. Baoyu went into the garden and hung out with these girls all day; The book was so full of gas that he stole books such as The West Chamber into the garden and Baoyu and Daiyu enjoyed them together. This is a classic era.
Jia Huan, the son of Jia Zheng's aunt Zhao and Baoyu's brother, was jealous of Baoyu. When he copied the scriptures, he accidentally dropped a candle and burned Baoyu. Mrs. Wang cursed Aunt Zhao. Aunt Zhao hated Xi-feng, so she asked Ma Daopo to cast her magic, which nearly killed Xi-feng and Baoyu. Monks and lame Taoist priests rubbed psychic jade and saved them. Daiyu's personality was melancholy, and the flowers fell in the late spring, so she was buried. Her name was Hua Zhong, and she wrote Flower Burial. Baoyu's maid Wen Qing dropped the fan, so Baoyu told him. Aroma advised her, she retorted, she was sarcastic, and Baoyu was so angry that he wanted to drive her away. Qingwen enjoys the cool in the evening. Baoyu told her to tear the fan to make her laugh. On one occasion, Shi Xiangyun advised Baoyu to talk about his career, and Baoyu grabbed the white, saying that Daiyu never said such a fucking thing; Daiyu happened to pass by, and I was very happy to hear it. Jin Chuaner, Lady Wang's maid, teased Baoyu and was driven out of the well by Lady Wang and died. Jia Huan told Jia Zheng. Baoyu also made friends with Jiang Yuhan, a favorite actor of Zhongshun Wang Ye, which made Wang Ye send someone to look for him. Jia Zheng was furious and beat Jia Baoyu to pieces. Mrs. Wang asked xiren to tell her. Decided that Xiren would be Baoyu's concubine in the future.
There was nothing to do in the Grand View Garden, so Tan Chun advocated the establishment of a poetry club. Singing Bai Haitang for the first time, Baochai won the championship; The second time I wrote chrysanthemum poems, Lin Daiyu overwhelmed everyone.
Granny Liu entered the mansion, and when the old lady found out, she settled down. Diners who hold a banquet in the Grand View Garden and make fun of their daughters; This sophisticated old woman is also willing to play this role. Grandmother Jia took Granny Liu to visit the Grand View Garden. In Longcui Temple, Miaoyu entertained Daiyu and Baochai for tea, and Baoyu also showed his face.
To celebrate Xifeng's birthday, everyone has held a banquet since the time of Grandmother Jia. Xifeng drank too much and wanted to go home and rest. I ran into Jia Lian seducing the servant girl. Xifeng is crying. Forced the maid to hang herself, and the grandmother forced Jia Lian to make amends to Xi 'an.
Because of the order of drinking, Daiyu quoted a few verses from The West Chamber. Baochai noticed and forgave her, and their relationship improved. Dai Wang admitted that Baochai was a good person, and he was too worried. Dai Yu wrote "Autumn Window Storm" to express her sadness. Jia She took a fancy to Jia's maid Yuanyang and asked Mrs. Xing to find Jia. Yuanyang refused, and the old lady refused, so she reprimanded Mrs. Xing. The relationship between Jia Mu and Jia She is even worse. At a banquet, Xue Pan molested Liu, who was good at singing and dancing and generous, and was afraid of retaliation, and fled to other places. Xue Pan lost face and went out to do business. His concubine Xiang Ling (Lian Ying) went to the Grand View Garden to study poetry. Several girls from relatives came to the Grand View Garden to make poems and quizzes, which was an unprecedented excitement and joy. Xiren went home because her mother was ill. Qingwen caught a cold at night and burned herself very hot. Baoyu celebrated his uncle's birthday, and Grandmother Jia gave him a sparrow gold robe made of peacock hair by a Russian tailor. He accidentally burned a hole. When I come back at night, the tailors in the street are afraid to mend it. Qingwen was seriously ill and made up for it overnight. At the end of the year, the Ningguo government paid the rent first, and the number of things sent was amazing, but Jia Zhen was still too little. Because of hard work during the Chinese New Year, Xi-feng miscarried and couldn't manage her family, so Tan Chun, Baochai, Li Wan and others cooperated with the director. Tanchun was born to Aunt Zhao, and Aunt Zhao's brother died. Tanchun didn't give much money as usual, and mother and daughter had a big fight. Tanchun has also implemented some reforms in the park, appointing special personnel to manage various places, which not only handed over some property, but also gave some benefits to the managers.
In order to test Baoyu's sincerity to Daiyu, Daiyu's maid, Zijuan, assumed that Daiyu would return to Gusu, but Baoyu believed it and was insane. As a result, Daiyu understood Baoyu's psychology better, and everyone thought that their marriage was happy. Daiyu wanted to recognize Aunt Xue as a godmother, and they reached the most harmonious period.
Guo Rong Mansion is full of contradictions. Jia Huan met rosacea at Baoyu's place and asked for some. Baoyu's maid Fang Guan gave Jia Huan some jasmine powder. Aunt Zhao went to Baoyu to make a scene. Fang Guan also gave her foster mother some rose dew to lure her nephew to steal poria cream. Several things made a mess, almost breaking the balance between servants. Baoyu was celebrating his birthday when Jia Jing Tundan died. Your country has a busy funeral. Please ask my mother and sister You Erjie and You Sanjie for help. Jia Lian sees the second sister is beautiful, wants to be a mistress, and lives outside. Second sister and Jia Zhen are not innocent, Jia Zhen wants to make waves, and Jia Lian wants to play with Third Sister for Jia Zhen's sake. You Sanjie was awed and cursed Jane and Lian, saying that she had a lover who hit Xue Pan. Jia She told Jia Lian to go out on business, and also told Jia Lian, Lu Yu and Xue Pan to go out on business. Xue Pan met a robber and was saved by Liu. They became brothers, Jia Lian was Liu's matchmaker, and Liu agreed. After arriving in Beijing, Liu Xian gave Third Sister's mother a dowry. Baoyu became suspicious while chatting with you. He went to ask for a gift to end his marriage. You Sanjie committed suicide and Liu became a monk. Xifeng knew that Jia Lian had stolen the marriage and pretended to be virtuous. Take second sister into the house. Please ask Jia Mu and others to agree. Jia Lian came back and gave him a concubine. Xifeng used my aunt's hand to force Second Sister You to swallow gold and commit suicide. The maid silly elder sister carried it to a sachet embroidered with erotic palace pictures in the garden, and Mrs. Wang was furious. Egged on by some maids, Chaojian Grand View Garden was timid and allowed to be driven away. Tanchun was angry and took it out on the servant girl; At this time, Xichun broke off contact with her brother and sister-in-law. Qingwen was driven out by Mrs. Wang and died with regret; Jia Baoyu was helpless and wrote Lotus as a sacrifice to her. After Xue Pan married his wife Xia Jingui, she greedily married Baochan, a servant girl, and Jingui agreed to get rid of Xiangling. Inspired by summer. Xue gave Xiangling a good beating, but Aunt Xue wouldn't let her. Xia and her mother-in-law quarreled. Xue Pan can't be at home. Had to go out.
Baoyu was old, and Jia Zheng forced him to go to school and get married during the Spring Festival. Baochai was entangled in family affairs, and the Grand View Garden became deserted. Daiyu thought that there was nothing to ask for in life, and she was haunted by nightmares and seriously ill. Xi-feng flattered the old lady and offered to marry Baochai to Baoyu. Baoyu saw Qingwen bird golden hair and missed the dead. Daiyu was too ill to eat when the maid told her about Baoyu's marriage. Later, I heard that the discussion failed and I got well.
Xue Pan was drinking outside, killed the bartender and went to prison. Jingui and Baochan tried to seduce Xue Pan's cousin, but otherwise they were quiet. /kloc-Begonia blooms in October, and everyone thinks it is a happy event, so buy wine to celebrate. At night, Baoyu's psychic jade disappeared and people became demented. It never rains but it pours. Yuan Chun died at this time. The grandmother decided to marry Baochai for Baoyu, fearing that Baoyu would not agree, and told him to marry Daiyu, keeping it from Daiyu. Daiyu learned the truth from the silly elder sister, lost her dream and authenticity, vomited blood and burned poems because of her weak body; When Baoyu got married, she died alone. In this way, her love with Jia Baoyu was brutally killed by Jia Mu, Wang Xifeng and others. On the night of the bridal chamber, Baoyu was frightened when he saw Baochai, and people were even more confused, so sad that he almost died. As mentioned many times later, Baoyu has been thinking about Daiyu.
After Tanchun's long marriage, the Grand View Garden became even more desolate. Xifeng was cursed by heaven on a moonlit night, and you were seriously ill. Everyone moved out of the garden and asked Taoist priests to exorcise demons in the garden. Xue Pan's case is going to be severely punished, and Xia Jingui makes a scene because Xiangling caught her flirting with Xue Pan. She tried to poison Xiangling, but she died by mistake.
The actions of Rong Ning Palace annoyed the emperor. Finally, I was robbed; Ge went to Erzhai, and Jia She and Jia Zhen were arrested. Due to unexpected troubles, Feng is critically ill. Thanks to the help of powerful people, Fu Rong's official position was restored and succeeded by Jia Zheng. Just after Xue Baochai's first birthday after marriage, she held a banquet to celebrate, but the dinner was gloomy. Soon, Jia died of illness; Yuanyang committed suicide for fear of revenge. Xifeng couldn't preside over the funeral, and everyone resented it. She couldn't hold on. She died. A group of robbers robbed the Guo Rong Building, and Miaoyu was raped and robbed, and was finally killed by the robbers. Cherish spring who sees through the world of mortals, became a monk at an early age.
Baoyu once again fell asleep and saw Yuanyang, You Sanjie, Qin Keqing and other unlucky women and Daiyu. After waking up, he was even more disheartened. The lame monk sent back the psychic jade to Baoyu to abandon the dust. Baoyu finally became a monk after taking the exam; Although he won the prize, he has pulled back from the brink and left.
Jia Yucun was dismissed for breaking the law and met Zhenzhen, who had become an immortal, at Juefan Ferry. Zhen analyzed and explained all this, thus summarizing the novel. (Reprinted)

Gone with the Wind
Author: Margaret Mitchell
186 1 April, the north-south relationship in the United States has been very tense. People in Georgia are talking about the inevitable war. However, Scarlett, who is 16 years old, has no interest in this. In addition to dancing and outing, there are those admirers who surround her. She was surprised when she heard that Ashley Wilkes would announce her engagement to Melanie at the picnic the next day. She has always liked Ashley's gentlemanly manner and thinks that she is much better than Melanie in all aspects. With her charm, she is sure to persuade Ashley to elope with her.
But at the party the next day, Scarlett never found a chance to talk to Ashley alone, because Ashley had been with Melanie. Out of a revenge, Scarlett easily attracted Melanie's brother Charles to her side. A few words fascinated this inexperienced and shy young man. After the party, the men argued fiercely about the current situation. Gerald had a particularly heated argument with a stranger named Rhett Butler. Leite believes that the south has no industrial resources, and it will definitely lose when it fights; On the other hand, Gerald and his friends thought that the Yankees could surrender without a fight, and only fight one or two wars and then surrender.
In the afternoon, Scarlett finally seized an opportunity to talk to Ashley about her thoughts, but Ashley politely refused. Scarlett felt "abandoned" by Ashley. She slapped Ashley in the face in a rage.
When the news of the war came, the dance that night was cancelled. Scarlett suddenly decided to marry Charles, because it would save her face and stimulate Ashley and her suitors. In this way, the wayward Scarlett became Charles' wife two weeks later.
Two months later, Charles died in the front, and Scarlett suddenly became a widow. To make matters worse, she found herself pregnant. A few months later, her son Wade was born.
The widow's life is unbearable for Scarlett, who is lively by nature. At this time, Ashley also came to the front. His wife Melanie wrote from Atlanta and invited her to stay at Charles' menstruation's house for a while. Scarlett left Tarot Manor with Wade and came to Atlanta.
The change of environment made Scarlett feel a little better. Thankfully, her late husband Charles left her a property and several shops in the city.
As the war became more and more tense, women in Atlanta were mobilized to take care of the wounded and sick brought back from the front in the local hospital and sew munitions for the Confederate army. However, as Scarlett has just lost her wife, she can't attend the dance and party for the soldiers who are going to war.
On one occasion, the hospital held a fund-raising dance. Being short of hands, Scarlett was called to help. At the ball, Scarlett saw Leiter who had quarreled with her father at Tarot Manor again. Now, Wright has become a famous businessman in Atlanta. He stole the northern blockade and provided materials for the southern army. Every time he comes back from the north, he will also bring their favorite fashions and fabrics to the upper-class women in Atlanta. So Leite is very popular with ladies. At the beginning of the dance, Rhett invited Scarlett to be his partner. Scarlett finally couldn't resist the temptation and walked into the dance floor in mourning.
With the deterioration of the war situation, the rules and regulations in life gradually fade in people's minds. Scarlett returned to her original appearance, frequently participated in various entertainment activities, and flirted and joked with the officers. However, she still can't forget Ashley.
For a time, Wright became a guest of many families in Atlanta. However, because he always laughed at and satirized the Confederacy, he soon became annoying. Only Melanie agreed with Wright's analysis of the war, because her husband Ashley also believed in the letter that the Confederacy could not win the war at all.
1963 In July, the Confederate army under the command of General Robert Lee was defeated in the northern state of Pennsylvania. Many boys who grew up with Scarlett were killed in that fierce battle. On Christmas Eve, Ashley came back from the front and stayed at home for a few days. When they were alone, Scarlett told Ashley the real reason why she married Charles and admitted that she still loved him. However, after the ordeal of the war, Ashley has lost his past passion. At the beginning of the following year, Melanie received a notice from the front that Ashley was missing. Later, through Wright's northern relations, it was obvious that Ashley was not dead. After being injured and captured, he was imprisoned in the Rock Island concentration camp in the north.
In the summer of' 64, Union troops approached Atlanta, the capital of the Confederacy. The city was surrounded, and Charles's aunt and many families in the city fled Atlanta. But because Melanie was going to have a baby, Scarlett had to stay by her side. Meanwhile, Leite called home and asked Scarlett to be his mistress, but Scarlett refused.
At the end of August, the sound of siege artillery suddenly fell silent. Legend has it that the Confederate army has decided to give up the city. Just then, Melanie's son was born. Atlanta was in chaos at this time, and there were no doctors at all. In a helpless situation, Scarlett delivered the baby herself and saved Melanie's mother and son's life. That night, the last Confederate troops withdrew from Atlanta, and the Union troops would soon enter the city. In despair, Scarlett had to turn to the ureter for help. Wright managed to send her, Melanie and her son out of town in a stolen broken carriage and arrived at Tarot Manor at night.
The sight along the way made Scarlett panic. Many familiar manors were burned to ruins, and only some broken walls stood there. After a bumpy day, they finally came to Tarot Manor. Unexpectedly, the white buildings in Tarot are still intact. But only my father Gerald and a slave housekeeper came out to meet them; Scarlett's two sisters were seriously ill in bed, and her mother passed away yesterday. Old Gerald could hardly recognize his daughter.
The burden of the whole family suddenly fell on the widow Scarlett, who was only 19 years old. Besides themselves and their children, the whole family includes my father, two sisters, Melanie and her newborn, and the only three slaves on the manor. They always need to maintain the livelihood of 10 people. Then she remembered the stories she heard from her father when she was a child, Irish fathers who started their own businesses.
The first problem before us is to find something to eat. So Scarlett carried a basket to dig in the field every day and picked it up in the ruins. Both her sisters are Miss Jiao, so I can't count on them. Even the three slaves emphasized that they never did housework or farm work. The bitter life tempered Scarlett, but it also made her heartless, and her family was afraid of her. Since then, Scarlett has a strong desire to restore the elegance of Tarot Manor: the dining table is full of silver tableware, bright glasses and rich food, a good horse is tied to the stable, a luxury carriage is placed in the garage, and groups of slaves are picking cotton in the fields of Tarot. ...
One day, a northern soldier rode to the manor. Scarlett shot him with a pistol and took a horse and some money from the soldier's pocket. This solved her urgent need.
On Christmas Eve, Frank Kennedy, my sister Suellen's fiance, came to the manor with a Confederate grain collection team. Scarlett certainly won't give them hard-won food in vain.
1in April, 965, the confederate army surrendered and the war finally ended. Many southerners cry for their failure. In Scarlett's mind, the more important question is how to keep Tarot Manor.
After the war, some soldiers passed by Tarot Manor every day and returned to their hometown. One day, Scarlett found a young man in a coma at the door and rescued him. With everyone's concern, this young man named Will gradually recovered. Will was homeless, so he settled in Tarot and slowly took on many management affairs of the manor.
Ashley finally came back alive. He was ragged and haggard, and his original temperament was gone. The following spring, the new government ordered Tarot Manor to pay a new additional tax within a time limit, otherwise it would auction the manor to offset the tax. It turned out that Jonas, the housekeeper who was driven away from Tarot Manor for dereliction of duty a few years ago, became the head of the newly established Slave Liberation Committee. Now, he tried to embezzle Tarot Manor, so he came up with the idea of compulsory payment of additional tax. Scarlett and Will are at a loss, hoping that Ashley can do something for them, but Ashley's cowardice disappoints them.
In despair, Scarlett suddenly remembered Leite. If Ratken takes out money to keep Tarot Manor, Scarlett is willing to marry him or be his mistress. The next day, Scarlett came to Atlanta to look for Wright, and then she learned that Wright was imprisoned on suspicion of embezzling large sums of money from the Confederacy. Frustrated, Scarlett accidentally met her sister Sue Ellen's fiance Frank. He is now the owner of a shop and has a sum of money in his hand. Scarlett suddenly had a plan, lied that Sue Ellen was married, and then easily put Frank in her arms. Two weeks later, they got married Tarot Manor has been saved! But it was soon discovered that Frank had no business sense and turned a deaf ear to other people's suggestions, so his business was very bad. At this time, Leite was released through various personal relationships. He lent Scarlett a sum of money, and Scarlett bought a closed wood processing factory behind Frank's back and started her own business. It is unprecedented for a woman to earn money by doing business like a man in Atlanta. This incident caused a great sensation.
Scarlett is pregnant. She wanted to earn more money before production for a rainy day, so she bought the second timber factory. During this time, Scarlett drove herself to and from the timber factory every day, and she didn't have any friends except Wright. One day, Leite advised her to be careful on the road, suggesting that if she was attacked by a black man, the Klan would retaliate for her. At that time, the Atlanta military government, which implemented the "Reconstruction Act", was planning how to eliminate the Ku Klan and all suspected southerners.
In June, Scarlett rushed back to Tarot Manor to attend her father's funeral. After the funeral, the Scarlett family, including Ashley, Melanie and Will, moved to Atlanta and bought a shabby house to live in. Melanie quickly won the trust of women and became a respected figure. Although Ashley was entrusted by Scarlett to manage a lumber mill, it was badly run. 167
Scarlett gave birth to a daughter, and a few weeks later, she began to run between two lumber mills. At this time, the security situation in Atlanta is deteriorating. 1867 One night in March, Scarlett was attacked by a white man and a black man while driving home. Thanks to the protection of a black slave, she was not injured. That night, the Klan launched an attack, but they fell into a trap set by the army. In the crossfire, Frank was killed and Ashley was injured. Thanks to Wright's advice, other white people who participated in the Klan movement were saved. A few months later, despite the dissuasion and opposition of relatives and friends, Scarlett and Rhett got married. Their honeymoon was spent in New Orleans, and the new house designed by Scarlett herself was soon completed, which is the most luxurious residence in Atlanta. For Scarlett, at this time, she seems to have realized her ideal in Tarot Manor. Wright gave great satisfaction to any material requirements she put forward. She really has everything. Soon, their daughter Bonnie was born. Brett has done almost everything for Bonnie. Wright's efforts to change her image in the eyes of Atlanta residents are entirely aimed at establishing Bonnie's position in Atlanta in the future.
Scarlett is still attached to Ashley. One night, at the lumber mill, Scarlett and Ashley had a very speculative conversation. They recalled having a picnic together 10 years ago. Ashley admits that he and Brett are actually very similar, but they have chosen different directions on the road of life. Recalling the past suddenly made Scarlett feel a sense of fear, and she fell into Ashley's arms involuntarily. It was soon known to Wright and Melanie. A few days later, Rhett took Bonnie on a long trip. After he left, Scarlett immediately went to Melanie to tell her about her mistake. But Melanie stopped her, and she repeatedly stressed that only Scarlett was her closest relative.
Soon, Scarlett found herself pregnant again. At this time, she began to miss Leite and hoped that he would come back soon. On the day when Leite got home, Scarlett specially greeted him at the stairs. I wanted to tell him the news of pregnancy, but when I saw his sarcastic expression, Scarlett was out of breath. As a result, I slipped and fell down the stairs and broke my ribs. Wright was remorseful. In front of Melanie, he cried like a child and admitted his mistake.
Since then, Wright seems to have changed. He broke with his "old friends" in the military-controlled government in the past and joined the Democratic Party, preparing to oust the governor appointed by the federal government with a group of civil war veterans in Atlanta. 187 1 Christmas, the power of the state government finally returned to the hands of southerners.
The black mother suggested buying a pony for four-year-old Bonnie so that she wouldn't have to ride with Rhett again. I didn't expect Bonnie, who was active, to have an accident while riding the fence. After Bonnie died, Rhett drank all day and treated Scarlett like a passerby.
Melanie went against the doctor's advice and got pregnant again. After pregnancy, her health deteriorated rapidly. Before she died, she gave Scarlett the burden of taking care of Ashley. At this moment, Scarlett suddenly realized that Melanie, who has always been thin, is actually protecting her sword and shield.
With Melanie dead, Ashley seems to have lost her backbone. He is more afraid than Scarlett. Only then did Scarlett believe what Rhett had told her for years that Ashley was really not worthy of love. In fact, she didn't love Ashley in real life, so the two spiritual pillars in her life disappeared.
In the dense fog, Scarlett ran home in despair. In the fog, she seemed to relive a nightmare that had troubled her for many years. Finally, she saw the light of her house, and suddenly she felt that she saw hope, because there was still Leite in the world, and she really loved Leite!
However, all this is too late. Rhett has decided to leave home and Scarlett forever. At this moment, for Scarlett, all the light in life disappeared. She can only go back to Tarot Manor. She felt so tired that her brain could no longer bear the pressure. She said to herself, "Let's leave it till tomorrow ... Anyway, tomorrow is another day ..." (
