Chapter Forty-Eight: New Year's Countdown

Mingqiao came back in the evening, and then Lin Can had dinner with Mingqiao, Mingqiao saw that Lin Can had always been sad, and thought that she was still sad about leaving the Lin family, so he persuaded her: "Actually, it's okay for you to be like this, at least it looks normal to be sad, otherwise I will worry about your appearance in the afternoon, whether you cry or not, whether you laugh or not." Lin Can" ・・・・・・ "She thinks why everyone thinks that she is abnormal, but she still said: "It's not because of me, it's because of Bai Yanlou." Ming Qiao raised his eyebrows, and Lin Can continued: "There is something in Bai Yanlou, but I don't know whether to tell you or not. Ming Qiao said indifferently: "His affairs are too messy, it's okay if you don't tell me," and then she paused and said: "The New Year is coming, have you figured out how to live, do we still want to go out to get together?" Lin Can raised his eyebrows and said: "Don't go to the restaurant this year, just call all the people we know to Shuanglin Mansion and get together, you, me, Bai Yanlou." After a pause, she added, "Blue Mirror." He didn't care about Mingqiao's surprised expression and said: "Can Cao Yan come out on the New Year, if he can come out, he will also be called, and then, it's gone." Then laughed self-deprecatingly, Ming Qiao knew why she was laughing, because the New Year was very lively in the past, at least Deng Lin, Meng Meng, Lin Xiaolei, and those family members, but now there are only five of them. Ming Qiao smiled at her and finished eating, so he went back to his room to deal with any business left during the day. Lin Can finished eating and then went back to her room, she sighed a little that Ming Qiao was really a workaholic, and then after taking a hot bath, she also went to bed to read.

The next day, she went to work at the newspaper as usual, because the news didn't spread so fast, so many people still don't know about her and the Lin family, and they didn't cause her any trouble, and then more than a week passed like this, and it was almost time for the New Year, Lin Can also gave the newspaper a holiday, and then went back to Shuanglin Mansion, after going back, she read books at home every day, chatted with Mingqiao, and then planned New Year's activities, she had already asked Bai Ronglou and Blue Mirror, although Bai Ronglou was surprised by her decision, but still let Blue Mirror come over at that time。 And Cao Yan also asked Ming Qiao to invite, and he could also come when the time came. It's just that she still hasn't contacted Deng Lin, because she knows that he won't come back easily on the battlefield, and she plans to call him on New Year's Day to say that it's okay to have a good New Year. Time passed day by day, she and Ming Qiao bought some more festive couplets, red lanterns, and some fireworks and firecrackers to light on Chinese New Year's Eve, and Bai Ronglou They also said that when the time comes, they can bring some fine wine, or other gifts, and then at noon on the Chinese New Year's Eve, after Lin Xuan and Ming Qiao finished lunch, they have already begun to clean up those couplet lanterns into the house, and then go to the kitchen to see if the cooks of Shuanglin Mansion have prepared the ingredients for the dishes they want to eat at night, and Ming Qiao will also help, because she used to be a maid when she was in Lin Mansion, so she will learn to cook some food for Lin Xuan, and Lin Xuan will also help deliver dishes。

Until the afternoon, Bai Yanlou, Blue Mirror, Cao Yan and they all came, and then they would also say that Shuanglin Mansion was dressed very well, and then they went to the main courtyard hall to chat, Ming Qiao also came out of the back kitchen to chat with Cao Yan, Lin Can looked at them all together and still had some vague loss in her heart, but she didn't say anything, she still chatted with them as usual, and after the evening, they would clean up the hall, and then eat here at night, and wait until later, the kitchen will make their dishes, and then serve, there are some desserts, soups, meat dishes, vegetarian dishes, seafood and everything, and then they will chat and eat at the same time, They are not afraid of what to do if they eat late, because they don't need to go to bed early tonight, and they have to eat melon seeds and dessert together to wait for the arrival of twelve o'clock when they eat early, and the gifts, after they arrived here, have already given each other, Bai Ronglou gave Lin Can a red suit, which looks very much like a wedding dress, similar to the one she wore when she went to Lin's house to participate in her ancestral home ceremony that day, but it was more gorgeous, Lin Can didn't know that Bai Ronglou's intention to give her this set of clothes was just accepted, and the things that Blue Mirror gave her were more affordable, it was a city near Nanjing City that wanted to be introduced by a real newspaper, and Blue Mirror just made a middlemanCao Yan also conservatively gave her a set of jade jewelry, including headdresses, hand ornaments, neck ornaments, and waist ornaments, which are very exquisite, and Mingqiao had already sent them at noon before they came, and they sent a sales list of real newspapers under the management of Mingqiao this year, and some interesting books that were not easy to buy in some cities where Mingqiao went, although they were not very valuable, but they were very much worth Lin Can's heart, Lin Can sent Bai Yunlou to Bai Yunlou This year, she got some things similar to trade secrets when she did newspaper work interviews this year, and then gave Bai Ronglou, because she felt that Bai Ronglou would need this, the Bai family did not have the Meng family, the object of cooperation, you can see which one is suitable for cooperation with the Bai family through that table, and the one who gave Lan Jing and the one she gave her had the same effect, it was the right to report at any time of the real newspaper, if she had something to report, or the right of public opinion that needed one thing fell to her side, she could find the real newspaper to help, originally Lin Can wanted to give her the shares of the South Mirror City Branch, but she felt that Lan Jing and Bai Ronglou might not be able to be together for too long, then she was not her own person, and she had liked Deng Lin before, which made her very uncomfortable。 What was given to Cao Yan was a set of precious antique tea sets, although Cao Yan's family background was not as prominent as theirs, but because he had read a lot of books and had a sense of arrogance, Lin Can gave him a set of very fresh and natural tea sets. I also gave it to Ming Qiao at noon, one is her deed of sale, which was handed over to Lin Can since she was a child, and Lin Can has never had a chance to give it to her, now Ming Qiao is with Cao Yan, maybe when she will get married, of course Lin Can wants to give her an innocent background, and there is also a real newspaper share transfer book, five percent, Ming Qiao has not invested since the establishment of the newspaper, but she is an employee, and as a maid who Lin Can grew up with since childhood, she could not have worked in the newspaper established by Lin Can, but Lin Can gave her this opportunity, and gave her a salary every month, and now it is very good to give her shares。 Ming Qiao just hugged Lin Can, because she had made up her mind from before, no matter what happened to her in the future, she used to be Lin Can's maid, and she also gave her a good job. Then the others also had gifts for each other, and Lin Can didn't look at it carefully. They are still eating, Bai Yanlou sometimes gives Lanjing vegetables, Cao Yan will also give Ming Qiao vegetables, and there are two hours before the New Year's Eve.
