Chapter 431
"It doesn't matter how you got the position. What matters is what you do after you get the position and what your purpose is. For us, the way up is very narrow. We are a little proud. If we have to lose it, we have to lose it. If my brother gets the position, he will be able to contribute to the future. People have nothing to be ashamed of when they open up a road to heaven and can do some good things that benefit the country and the people."

Lin Siran thinks that being a person should not be too pedantic, pride and self-esteem are very important, but one must be clear about what one really wants, and one cannot lose righteousness for the sake of trivial matters.

Yan Shichu nodded: "You're right, but if my sister wants to pave the way for me, I don't want to see the hard work and hardships that my sister has to put in. I just want you to be safe and happy, obviously you are also a girl , others can be carefree and rely on the protection of father and brother, but my sister has to work so hard? I don't want you to work hard!"

Lin Siran tilted her head and said with a smile, "I'm not afraid of hard work!"

"But I'm afraid." Yan Shichu said, "I try my best to work hard. What I want is for the one I love to relax a little bit. I hope that the one who carries the burden is me, not you, Ranran ... Please don't force yourself, hide when you feel hard, and give up if you can't handle things, there is nothing, it is worth your hard work, your life is very precious!"

Lin Siran sniffed, turned her head away, and said, "Brother, don't say such things that make people want to cry, I finally decided to be strong, try to make myself stronger, and live a decent life without relying on others One point, if you hide when you feel hard and give up when you feel difficult, won’t it be miserable in the future when no one can rely on you?”

Yan Shichu held her hand and said: "No, there must be someone you can rely on, we Ranran... will definitely meet someone who can protect you for a lifetime, you are worth it!"

What Lin Siran thinks is that the only person who can protect her life without worries is herself, except for her close relatives.

But she doesn't want to put all the weight on her loved ones, she has to move forward independently, and one day, she will become someone else's reliance.

"I haven't given you a gift yet, have I?" Yan Shichu asked.

Lin Sizan said: "Accompanying me to offer incense and pray for blessings today is a gift. To be able to spend my birthday with my brother, there is no gift like it."

"Although I said so, there should be a gift!" Yan Shichu took out a small seal from his sleeve, "I carved this by myself. Although jade is not expensive enough, it looks good to me."

Lin Siran took it with a smile. The exquisite seal is really hard to put down. The upper part is the head of a little rabbit, and she happens to be a rabbit, and the four words "Scorching Sun Like Ran" are engraved on the bottom.

Lin Siran asked: "Why is it the scorching sun?"

"Because you are the scorching sun in my heart." Yan Shichu said softly.

Lin Sizan carefully put the seal in her purse, and said, "Then I will be the scorching sun of my brother's life, illuminating you, no matter where you are."

Yan Shichu caressed her hair, feeling that her smile at this moment was extremely precious.

"Young Master Yan...what a coincidence!"

The two were talking when they heard someone shouting behind them.

Lin Sizan subconsciously turned her head and saw Lu Jinnian being pushed by A Mo.

Lin Siran frowned, seeing Lu Jinnian smiling at her.

"Young master Lu, you also come to offer incense? That's really a coincidence." Yan Shichu also greeted with a smile.

"The county magistrate is dressed like this, I almost didn't recognize him." Lu Jinnian actually recognized Lin Siran at a glance.

Lin Siran was a little shy, and said, "It's more convenient to come out with my brother."

Lu Jinnian nodded slightly, and asked, "Is the arm injury healed?"

"Well, it's much better." Lin Siran nodded, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

"That's good. It seems that the medicine is still effective." Lu Jinnian nodded happily.

Lin Siran said: "Thank you, young master, if it wasn't for your help, it might not be so fast, and I have never had the chance to thank you in person."

"You don't have to be so polite with me." Lu Jinnian didn't want Lin Bian to be so alienated.

"Should I be polite..." Lin Siran lowered her head slightly and stuck out her tongue.

Lu Jinnian felt that this kind of Lin Siran was playful and cute, which was very different from the past, but it moved his heart even more.

He just looked at Lin Siran and smiled without taking his eyes off her.

Yan Shichu coughed twice, feeling that the atmosphere made him look a little redundant.

"Master Lu, how are you doing recently?" Yan Shichu asked pleasantly.

Lu Jinnian nodded and said, "Thank you Mr. Yan for your concern, I'm fine."

"Today is my sister's birthday, so I accompany her to offer incense." Yan Shichu said intentionally.

Lu Jinnian wasn't surprised at all. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that this seemed inappropriate, so he quickly expressed surprise, "Really? It turned out to be the County Lord's birthday. I didn't know it, and I didn't prepare any gifts..."

A Mo frowned, not understanding that this was Lu Jinnian's routine, and instead asked, "My lord, aren't you here to give the county magistrate a birthday present?"

"Ahem..." Lu Jinnian was in great embarrassment. He was just trying to cover up, but he didn't know that there was an idiot named A Mo beside him, so he couldn't help but glared at A Mo.

"Ah? Shouldn't I say it? So the young master didn't make an appointment with the county master?" A Mo scratched his head, expressing that he didn't know anything, "The county master, I'm sorry, I don't know anything, I ...Well, my young master asks you and Mr. Yan to take care of it first, and I will find some water to drink."

After saying that, A Mo hurriedly fled the scene to avoid being scolded by Lu Jinnian.

Lu Jinnian sighed, Team Pig finally left.

Lin Siran's face was already red to the neck.

Yan Shichu had a hard time holding back his laughter, but he tried to remain calm and asked, "What gift did Mr. Lu prepare for my sister?"

Lu Jinnian simply stopped pretending and took out a small box from his cuff.

"It's not an expensive gift, it's just a token of affection, and please don't dislike it, the county magistrate." As Lu Jinnian said, he looked at Lin Siran expectantly, worried that she would not like it.

Lin Sizan looked at Yan Shichu, a little embarrassed to answer.

Yan Shichu simply took it for her.

"Can I watch?" Yan Shichu looked at Lu Jinnian.

With a suspicious blush on Lu Jinnian's face, he nodded, "Of course, it's nothing to be ashamed of."

Yan Shichu opened the brocade box, and inside was a small mirror, not a bronze mirror, but a glazed mirror from the Western Regions, transparent and clear, able to illuminate people very clearly, much better than the bronze mirror.

This kind of thing is a rare item, and even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it. With Lu Jinnian's status, you may be able to find such a good item.

However, Lin Siran saw the other side of the mirror, which was a portrait of a beautiful woman. She was painted vividly, with an expression of joy and anger, which made her come alive.

Lin Siran blushed slightly, and he didn't draw this small portrait of her, how could he draw such a likeness?

Yan Shichu seemed to have noticed the subtle change in Lin Siran's expression, turned to the mirror, and then smiled.

Lu Jinnian blushed even more, as if he wanted to bury his head in his knees, he didn't dare to look at Yan Shichu, let alone Lin Siran.

He was thinking of quietly showing it to Lin Siki, but who knew that Yan Shichu would really open it and read it?
