Shen Cha didn't wait too long when Ying Ba pulled Ying Si over.
Ying Si entered the room, first subconsciously looked at Mei Lin, and then saluted Shen Cha.
"No courtesy." Shen Cha waved his hand and pointed to the cushion in front of the table, "Sit down, Xiao Lin will sit down too."
"Thank you, boss/general!" Ying Si and Mei Lin looked at each other and sat side by side in front of Shen Cha.
"Xiaosi, Xiaoba has told you the reason why I came to you, right?" Shen Cha looked at Yingsi, "I don't have anything else to ask you, just one question. You have to answer me truthfully. Do you like it?" Xiaolin or Xiaozhu, who do you want to marry?"
"Boss, I want to go to Meilin, not Meizhu."
"Are you sure?" Seeing Ying Si nodding solemnly, Shen Cha asked again, "Very good, then, tell me, what are your hesitations and worries now? It's because Xiao Lin pays too much attention to Xiao Zhu, right? ?”
"Yes!" Ying Si noticed that Merlin's gaze was like a nail on his body for an instant, but this matter had been suppressed in his heart for a long time. In front of his boss, he still had to speak out. "I can understand their deep love as sisters. They have lived together since childhood and have never been separated. If they are separated suddenly, they will definitely not adapt. But when people grow up, they will always separate, and the sisters will also marry separately. People also have to adapt to their own lives. You can't say that if you marry someone else, you must marry someone else, and the two sisters still have to live together, right?"
"Why not?" Merlin looked at Ying Si, "I am just a little sister. If I don't take care of her, who will take care of her? We don't have parents. I am her father and her mother. I am responsible for everything about her. , Xiaozhu and I have already reached a consensus on this point, and it is useless for anyone to object. Fourth brother, I will leave my words here. Xiaozhu will always be the first in my heart, and no one can replace it, including the fourth brother. Brother, you are included."
"Then we have nothing to talk about, so let's leave it like that. I haven't said anything since today, Xiao Lin, so you can take care of yourself." Ying Si stood up and saluted Shen Cha, "Boss, I have resigned."
"Come back! Did I let you go? Sit down!" Shen Cha pointed at the cushion and motioned for Ying Si to sit back. She looked at the angry Merlin and then at the livid Ying Si, and sighed softly, "Yes. You don't know how to talk properly, right? Is it interesting to release Qi? Can Qi release solve the problem? It's hard for you to make things happy for yourself during the Chinese New Year, right?" Seeing both of them lowering their heads and not speaking, Shen Shen Cha continued, "Since you two like each other, there is no problem that cannot be solved. If you say those angry words, you will miss a good marriage. When you two are old, you can reminisce about your youth. Don't you regret these past events?" She looked at Merlin, "You have an idea, and I have to correct you."
"General, please speak." Merlin sat upright, glanced at Shen Cha secretly, and quickly lowered his head.
"Xiaozhu is your sister, and you have the responsibility to take care of her, but this care does not mean taking over her life as you said. She is a person with sound limbs and a flexible mind, a completely independent person. I'm not your vassal, understand?" Shen Cha picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Ying Si and Mei Lin each, "Even my parents would not tie Xiaozhu to their bodies like you, and tie them very tightly. "
"I...I don't worry about her, I..."
"There is nothing to worry about. In my eyes, in the eyes of the Duke, Xiaozhu is as good as you. You are my indispensable helpers. Even if you get married, you will still be with me. The people around me are still the same as now, fighting with me on the battlefield and fighting side by side with me. These will not change, do you understand?"
"Understood!" Merlin nodded. At this time, she felt a little regretful that her tone just now was too harsh.
"If you really understood, you wouldn't have said that just now!" Shen Cha raised an eyebrow, "After you get married, the only thing that will change is that you each have your own small family, a husband who loves you, and a lively and cute husband. "Child." Shen Cha smiled at Merlin, "Think about it, wouldn't such a life be better than now?"
"My subordinates all understand what the general said, but..." Merlin scratched his head, "I'm just used to it, and there's no way I can change it for a while."
"You must change if you can, and if you can't, you must change. Otherwise, you will suffer a big loss." Shen Cha picked up the teacup and took a sip, "You just said that you made an agreement with Xiaozhu that the two of you will be together forever. , you are responsible for everything about her, right?" Seeing Mei Lin nod slightly, Shen Cha sighed, "Do you think Xiaozhu really made this agreement with you? Everyone has his own life, even if Sisters, you should also keep a certain distance and don't interfere too much in other people's lives." Seeing what Mei Zhu wanted to say, she waved her hand and continued, "Xiao Lin, calm down and think about it carefully. You can find the person you like and can stay with for the rest of your life, and Xiaozhu will meet him in the future. When she meets that person and marries that person, the focus of her life will no longer be you. If you continue to be like this Controlling her life will make her resentful, and the sisterhood you have had for so many years will no longer exist. How will you deal with yourself then? Will you feel that the whole sky is falling? Since the situation hasn’t gotten that bad yet, stop now, it’s good for you and Xiaozhu.”
"She... really dislikes me and thinks I will become a burden?" Merlin was a little sad. She felt aggrieved. After so many years of hard work, she could only get such an ending.
"Although I don't want to break your heart, I have to tell you that it will definitely happen." Shen Cha sighed, "This kind of thing is not without precedent. You should still remember that there were two maids beside my mother. They are just a pair of sisters. Unlike you and Xiaozhu, the younger sister has always taken care of her elder sister and tried her best. But what happened? It’s not that the sisterhood was broken. The elder sister left Jiaping Pass City cruelly and lived her own life. , my sister was heartbroken and ended her life with a piece of white silk. Xiao Lin, do you also want to end up like this?" She looked at Mei Zhu seriously, "You are a smart person, some words are unnecessary I've said it repeatedly, you can figure it out yourself, right?"
"I understand, general, I will think about it carefully." Mei Zhu took a deep breath, "Actually, I also found that Xiaozhu gradually started to alienate me, and I felt very sad. I don't know What should I do? That's why I unleashed the evil fire in my heart on Fourth Brother." She looked at Ying Si and said sheepishly, "Fourth Brother, I'm sorry."
"That's okay, as long as you can figure it out." Ying Si smiled at Merlin, "Boss is right, even if they are biological sisters, they should keep a certain distance. If they are tied too tightly, they will easily become People are disgusted. I know you can't change it for a while. We can take it slow. You will find that after you distance yourself, the relationship between you sisters will be better than it is now. "
"Xiao Si is very experienced in this area. He has two sisters!" Shen Cha added some tea to Mei Lin's teacup. "If you have any questions you can ask him or Xiao Qi or Xiao Ba." Ask, you can also complain to them, don’t keep it to yourself, it’s not good for you.”
"Thank you, General. I will take care of you."
"I don't want to delay you all going out to play. The temple fair will be over in two hours. Go and relax!" Shen Cha turned around and took a purse from the shelf at the back, opened it, took a look, tightened the mouth of the bag, and put The purse was handed into Ying Si's hand. "go quickly!"
"This...boss, isn't it good?"
"There's nothing wrong with it." Shen Cha smiled, "I didn't have time to give you the red envelope yesterday, so I'll treat this as a red envelope!" She looked at Mei Lin, "Don't forget the serious errands, remember to tell Xiao Wu. Also, call Xiaozhu over, I have something to tell her."
"yes!"
