Chen Jingchi's departure only caused an inconspicuous little flower to bloom in Lin Jianyue's heart, which instantly calmed down.

Lin Jianyue now has more things to do, just because New Year's Eve is coming!

Since the death of her father and mother, there has been nothing to be happy about on New Year's Eve for Lin Jianyue.Just because she was busier than anyone else on New Year's Eve in the Marquis.

Early in the morning, she would go to Mrs. Wen's side to wait for Mrs. Wen to get up, and then serve Mrs. Wen with food when she was hungry.

After finishing these tasks, she still had to go to Wang and Lin Lin's courtyard to greet them. Before she could take a breath, Lin Yuqing would come over and ask for new year's gifts.

At that time, she was completely satisfied that she was part of the Houfu family. She had prepared gifts for everyone early. The gifts were rich and exquisite, but she only received a few compliments, both salty and mild.

After that, she would have to focus on the kitchen to cook the New Year's Eve dinner, and even make some arrangements in the mansion herself. At noon, she would go to the East Palace to see the prince, and then she would accompany the prince into the palace to pay his respects to His Majesty and the Queen.

On many New Year's Eves, she could not have a hot meal until she came back from the palace in the afternoon. Therefore, Lin Jianyue had no expectations for New Year's Eve.

Even after the New Year's Eve dinner at the Houfu in the evening, she would be sent away by the Wang family in a worried manner, while their family stayed vigil and set off fireworks.

What she was doing at that time was just huddled in the courtyard, watching the fireworks in the sky all by herself.

But this year was different, because everything had changed since Lin Jianyue opened her eyes.

"Miss, hello! I wish you all the best in the coming year!" Li En and Chunli held the winter clothes and knelt in front of the bed with a smile.

Lin Jianyue stood up, took out two boxes from the bedside and handed them to the two of them, "I wish you all the best!"

Inside the box was a New Year's gift prepared by Lin Jianyue for the two of them. After Li En and Chunli thanked them, they began to help Lin Jianyue get up and wash up.

However, Chunli was impatient and couldn't help but secretly opened the box, but she gasped when she saw what was inside.

It was too expensive. The box was not big, but there were jewelry for them inside, and there were a lot of silver notes underneath the jewelry.

Chunli glanced at the banknote and happily stuffed the box into her sleeve.

"The two young masters are waiting in the main hall!" Li En said while dressing Lin Jianyue.

"Cousin is here?" Lin Jianyue was very surprised. She casually asked Li En to pull up her hair and then walked out of the house and came to the main hall. As expected, she saw two cousins ​​waiting there.

Everyone wears a lot of clothes in winter, but the two cousins ​​are so tall that they still look very elegant even in their quilted robes.

"Happy New Year's Eve, cousin!" Cheng Shi couldn't wait to come to his cousin, stuffed a box directly and handed it to his cousin.

But Cheng Yu was one step behind. He glanced at his younger brother who was fighting for it and felt a headache.

"This is a New Year's gift for my cousin. I wish my cousin all the best!" Cheng Yu also handed a box to his cousin.

Lin Jianyue held a box in one hand, with a smile that couldn't be concealed on her face.

"Open it quickly and take a look. I've been picking it up for a long time!" Cheng Shi couldn't help but urge.

Lin Jianyue opened the box in front of her two cousins, and found that the second cousin had given her gold embroidered earrings, which looked very unique.What her eldest cousin gave her was a white jade emerald wind step wave. The workmanship was even more exquisite and beautiful.

"Thank you two cousins, I like it very much!" Lin Jianyue raised her eyes, her eyes were smiling. She not only liked this gift, but also because it was carefully selected by the two cousins. This friendship is enough for Lin Jianyue to be happy.

"As long as you like it, I'm afraid you won't like it! Let's go and say hello to my grandfather!" Cheng Shi directly took his cousin's arm and walked happily, so that Lin Jianyue had to pick up his steps and follow.

Cheng Yu took a look and shook his head secretly. The second brother is still so reckless. His cousin comes from a girl's family and the second brother always forgets the difference between men and women. This may not be appropriate if his cousin gets married in the future.

The old fort master got up early, even though today is New Year's Eve, there are already many people in the old fort master's study, and they are all close subordinates who are reporting accounts to the old fort master.

Seeing the three people approaching, everyone hurriedly saluted. Even when facing Lin Jianyue, these people did not ignore them at all. Their respect for Lin Jianyue was no different from that of Cheng Shi and Cheng Yu.

The three of them waited obediently outside the study. Cheng Shi leaned into his cousin's ear and said, "Cousin, don't worry. It's like this every year. We have to wait for an hour. I told you to come later, but the eldest brother insisted on coming early." Come and say hello to grandpa!"

"As descendants, we should wait here, and it will just temper your temper!" Cheng Yu stood outside the study, his expression calm, without any sign of anxiety.

"It's okay, you should come to pay your respects to your grandfather!" Lin Jianyue also agreed.

However, just as a few people muttered a few words, the door of the study room opened, and those in charge said hello and left. But when they left, they looked at Lin Jianyue with something in their eyes. Share a smile.

"Huh? Why is it so early this year? It shouldn't be! Could it be that my grandfather feels sorry for me standing outside?" Cheng Shi muttered and walked towards the study.

Seeing how stupid his second brother was, Cheng Yu couldn't bear to expose him.My grandfather did feel sorry for him, but he definitely didn't feel sorry for his second brother.

As soon as the three of them entered the study, they knelt down and said in unison, "Grandpa, Happy New Year's Eve! My grandson wishes you well!"

The old castle owner was sitting behind the desk, his wrinkled face now filled with a loving smile. He quickly got up and personally helped his three grandchildren up.

"Okay!" the old fort master said, handing the red envelope he had prepared long ago to the three of them, "I wish you all the best!"

This was the first time Lin Jianyue received a red envelope on New Year's Eve since her parents passed away. The heavy red envelope was like Lin Jianyue's heart being filled.

"One of the happiest things this year is that Yueyue is back. In the coming year, as brothers, you must take good care of your sister and manage the family business!" the old castle master instructed.

"Grandson understands!"

"Yueyue, as for you, you don't need to think about anything, just be happy!" The old castle owner looked at his granddaughter, couldn't help it, and reached out to pat his granddaughter on the head.

"My granddaughter can do it!" Lin Jianyue said with a smile. Now that she has so many people who care about her, she will naturally be happy.

"Okay, I still have some things to deal with here. Let's go and greet your parents first! Come with me to have dinner with everyone at noon!" the old castle master waved his hand.

As soon as the three of them walked out of the study, before Lin Jianyue asked, Cheng Yu explained, "Every New Year's Eve, we have the New Year's Eve dinner together as a family, but at noon we have dinner with the house slaves in Chengjiabao! These people have been here for generations. We were all from Chengjiabao for generations, but now most of them are sent to different places by their grandfather to take charge of affairs. We only get together on New Year’s Eve!”

"So, that's it!" Lin Jianyue suddenly realized it, and suddenly became a little excited.
