Lin Xuan of the Red Chamber

"Hong Ying, is that all? Is that all you want to say?"

Shen Yuan's eyes were fixed on Hongying closely, those eyes were extraordinarily sharp, as if they were about to shoot into Hongying's heart.

Hong Ying knelt on the ground powerlessly, she really didn't understand what her brother was thinking, she didn't think she did anything wrong, she just wanted to use her own strength and her own way to protect her brother, to protect him. The Shen family, to make up for the disaster they caused.

If she really wanted to say that she was wrong, maybe the only thing she did wrong was that she should not have sneaked out with her maid during the Lantern Festival that night, thus harming the Shen family and herself.

Seeing Hongying's aggrieved look, Shen Yuan sighed almost inaudibly, and suddenly felt a pain in his heart, his sister still didn't understand.

Hong Ying never knew that when Shen Yuan learned that she was married to Lin Ruhai as a concubine, she locked herself in the ancestral hall and knelt for a whole day and night, even if Shen's mother came to persuade him in person after she found out, he would not move.

Shen Yuan has always been a rational person who knows how to balance, but that time, he lost his former calmness. He knelt in the ancestral hall for a whole day and night, just to punish himself.In his opinion, since no one in the Shen family is qualified to punish him, then he will punish himself.

And he punished himself because he punished him for failing to give his sister enough trust over the years.

Not just believing that he will not betray his sister, but believing that he has the ability to solve everything, that he will not be defeated by anything, that he never needs his sister to do anything, all he needs is her complete trust , no matter what happens, the trust that he can solve it, complete, absolute trust...

"Red Sakura" Shen Yuan stood up and called softly.

"Brother" Hongying raised her head, the tears in her eyes kept rolling, even Hongying herself didn't understand why she cried so much today, obviously she was the one who laughed the most before.

"Red Ying, get up." Shen Yuan's voice was unhurried, he slowly stretched out his hand, and helped Hong Ying stand up. Although his legs became a little numb due to kneeling for a long time, they still kept pace with her. The past is stable and strong.

"Hong Ying, you are my only sister, what my brother wants to see most is that you can be happy." Shen Yuan gently stroked Hong Ying's face, helping her wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and her voice softened.

"Brother, I know, I've always known that to you, my happiness is far more important than your future, but Hong Ying can't be so selfish..." Hong Ying was a little moved, her brother never They are all rigorous people, and they never show their inner feelings to the outside, so even though Shen Yuan loves her all the time, she rarely sees Shen Yuan so gentle.

"The Lin family is an aristocratic Gusu family with four generations of lords. They have countless close friends and extensive contacts. Although the governor has great power, there is nothing he can do about the Lin family. Compared with the requirements of the governor, it is undoubtedly much better to marry into the Lin family. Brother, I have always been sober, I did not make this decision on the spur of the moment, but after careful consideration." Hong Ying's eyes were calm, her tone was serious, that's right, marrying into the Lin family was the result of her careful thinking, two evils mutually Whichever is less, she thinks this is already the best choice for her.

"No, Hong Ying, you don't only have these two choices, you actually have another choice, but you ignored it." Shen Yuan put his hands on Hong Ying's shoulders, stared into Hong Ying's eyes, and said seriously.

Shen Yuan and Hongying grew up together. He knows Hongying's character better than anyone else. As long as Hongying thinks it is right, she will do it no matter what the consequences are, because she thinks she What she did was right, her character has always been so stubborn and stubborn, and even if you are forcing her, she still can't understand the things she can't figure out, so Shen Yuan can only talk to her in another way. communicate.

"There is another choice, what choice?" Hong Ying looked at Shen Yuan blankly. She thought about it for so long, but she didn't see that she had other choices.

"That is to believe in me, to believe that your brother has the ability to solve everything without your sacrifice." Shen Yuan's eyes were as deep as a cold pool, and his voice was steady and quiet.

Shen Yuan knew that he had to let Hong Ying understand where she was wrong, otherwise, if something like two years ago happened, he wondered if her sister would repeat that wrong decision.

Shen Yuan has always liked this way of prompting and guiding, because it will not only make the other party feel that he has not been ignored, so that he will trust himself more, but also step by step, it is a very deceptive bewitchment, often unconsciously , you can make the other party lose every inch of land and get everything you want.

The folks have a very apt description of this practice, which is called boiling frogs in warm water.

As if all the aura burst out in an instant, Hong Ying finally understood why her brother was so angry, why he said that he didn't trust him, his brother was such a proud person, he must feel that he didn't trust his ability , I don't believe that he can solve all this, I don't believe that he can protect her well...

The regrets choked in her throat suddenly became so clear and real at this moment, and she finally understood why her brother was so sad and disappointed, because what he wanted was never anything else, but what he wanted as a family member. Give him all the trust...

However, things were not as Shen Yuan thought.He is thoughtful, planning everything ahead of time, and draws ten steps in advance after taking one step, but Hongying is not, she is a simple person, she doesn't think so much, she just wants to pass her own way. efforts to protect her family.

"Brother, it's my fault that I didn't give all my trust, but what about you, if you made a lot of efforts for that matter in private, why didn't you tell me, why?" Shen Yuan said these words to Hong Ying, so that Hong Ying clearly understands her mistake, but Hong Ying and Shen Yuan have different views. In her opinion, she is at fault for this matter, and Shen Yuan is also at fault.

Shen Yuan was stunned by Hong Ying's words, he moved his lips, but still didn't say anything, what should he say, whether to tell her because he wanted to protect her, and didn't want her sister to get involved in these complicated things , but what is the difference between his approach and Hongying's self-assessment.

"Brother, our starting point is good, we all want to protect our family members in our own way, but, brother, as you said, we have forgotten one thing, what we should pay for our relatives Absolute trust." Hong Ying sighed, yes, brother has always been like this, and he often takes care of everything by himself, hoping to protect his relatives under his wings and make them happy, but he never thought that his own It's the same as his heart, which made the mistake two years ago.

"Brother, what is a relative to you?" Without waiting for Shen Yuan to speak, Hongying went on to say: "Family should bear each other's burdens, face difficulties together, and never give up each other's existence no matter what the situation is. I will let you bear it by yourself, but face it together, my loved ones will not always shrink under your wings, let you face the wind and rain alone, he will stand up bravely and be with you."

Shen Yuan looked at Hong Ying with complicated eyes. This was the first time he felt that his sister might have really grown up. She had her own views and understanding, and her understanding was that she had never had Thought, but can not say is wrong.

"Brother, the past is over, let's not mention it anymore, you want me to have absolute trust in you, I can do it, but I also hope you will stop hiding everything from me, okay?" Hong Ying looked at Shen Yuan firmly, with a sincere tone.

Shen Yuan smiled slightly, touched Hongying's hair, nodded, and sighed softly in his heart, his sister is still as stubborn as ever.
