Chapter 7: Pan Tao
Meng Jun watched nervously for a while, and finally agreed to eat with peace of mind.
After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms. When it was almost nine o'clock, Meng Xuan came back and heard from the housekeeper that Meng Zhe was looking for her, so he went to the study.
The old housekeeper went to the kitchen to find a servant to get a cup of juice and a cup of tea, and was about to knock on the door when the door opened first, Meng Xuan's eyes were red and he almost knocked over the tea tray.
The old butler was surprised: "Miss, what's the matter?" ”
Meng Xuan said in a nasal voice, "Housekeeper, I don't sleep at home at night", and then ran downstairs, and after a while, he heard the sound of the door opening and closing.
The old housekeeper turned around, stabilized the tea tray, and walked into the study, Meng Zhe was looking at the plan at the desk, and raised his head when he heard the sound.
The old butler put the tea tray on the table and asked, "Why did the young lady go out crying?" ”
Meng Zhe closed his eyes, rubbed his temples and said, "She said that I was partial to the fourth child and didn't care about her." ”
The brother and sister actually quarreled over this, and the housekeeper secretly laughed, but still said: "Da Shao, work is work, don't be tired." ”
Meng Zhe nodded, paused and asked, "Do I have it?" ”
The old housekeeper said: "Miss was sent to the Zhou family soon after she was born, but the four young people grew up with you, no wonder." ”
Meng Zhe was noncommittal, took a sip of tea and said, "You go to sleep, I'll sleep after reading here." ”
The old butler said, "That's good." He took the juice and withdrew.
Meng Zhe lowered his head, picked up the pen and annotated on the text, a line was not finished, there was no ink, and the inkwell on the table was also dry, so he bent down and opened the drawer to find new ink.
flipped through it casually, and a photo popped up, which made his eyes move.
The photo shows a handsome young man wearing a bachelor's uniform, wearing a square hat and holding a scroll in one hand, and what attracts his attention is a three-year-old boy below, holding the boy's legs, and his little face is tender.
Ten years have passed, and it really seems to have passed in a flash.
Meng Liangren had a fight with Xu Shangwen and broke off contact, and no one hooked him to fool around like in the previous life, and he was tired of it.
Although he always fell asleep listening to lectures, he still stayed in the classroom and never skipped class.
Cong Rong is as diligent as ever, and there is a female classmate named Lu Xiaoxiao who comes to discuss topics at every turn, and asks him to help with duty or something.
It's really obvious what the little girl is thinking.
Meng Liangren has seen a lot of beauties, although this Lu Xiaoxiao is not as good as a young model star who can dress up, but she also has clear eyebrows, a very bookish atmosphere but does not look like a nerd, and her demeanor is also quite delicate.
After being woken up by the class bell again, he sat up straight and stretched, and asked Cong Rong: "Do you have a girlfriend?" ”
Cong Rong was stunned and said, "...... What the? ”
Meng Liangren flipped through the textbook with one hand and said, "Do you like that Lu Xiaoxiao?" ”
Cong Rong was young and his face was tender, and he said embarrassedly: "Let's just exchange ...... about learning"
The interest on Meng Liangren's face made him unable to explain it at all.
Cong Rong choked, and after a while, he said, "If the young master doesn't like me talking to her, I'll stay away from her." ”
Meng Liangren also choked: "...... I didn't say anything. ”
So he turned his head to look out the window and yawned, Cong Rong lowered his head and continued to organize his notes.
When the class bell rang, the teacher walked into the classroom and began to lecture, Meng Si Young Master's eyelids fell again, and when he was about to step into Duke Zhou's house, a loud "Hello teacher" called him back to reality.
At this time, the eyes of all the students in the class turned to the benevolent brother at the door, who was not shy at all, walked through the passage between the seats with a shoulder bag, walked to the seat behind Meng Liangren, put the bag and sat up, and put himself in a comfortable position to prepare for sleep.
The sleeping positions of the two people are about the same, but unfortunately this class is the head teacher's, she really couldn't help it, patted the table and said, "Meng Liangren, Pan Tao!" Get me out and get out of the penalty station. ”
Even if the family is rich and powerful, it doesn't matter whether the grades are good or bad, they can't let these two people spoil the atmosphere in the class.
Meng Liangren raised his head and looked at the head teacher's angry face. He glanced back at Pan Tao on the back table, and the goods were still lying on his stomach.
He was in his twenties, and the head teacher naturally couldn't shame him for such a thing, so after thinking about it, he still stood up, raised his feet and walked to the back door of the classroom, slapped Pan Tao with his hand, and pulled him out.
The two stood outside the classroom, Pan Tao rubbed his eyes, opened his mouth and said, "What's the matter, I'm trapped to death, I'll talk about it when I wake up." ”
Meng Liangren looked at him, obviously he was not a few years old, why was this guy more than half a head taller than himself?
Before he could speak, Pan Tao woke up first, punched him on the shoulder, and grinned: "I saw Xu Shangwen when I came, good guy, one circle on one side, locked in a cage is a national treasure!" Why did he have such a big hand? ”
Meng Liangren couldn't help but smile, this is really a living treasure.
There are few people who have played with him since he was a child, except for Xu Shangwen is Pan Tao, Xu Shangwen's family is a red-eyed pug, whoever is rich and powerful will lick his feet, when he is down, only Pan Tao, who was thrown to the United States by the old man in the family, secretly found someone to take care of him, and found him a place to live, and finally did not go to sleep in the park.
Meng Liangdao: "Why haven't you come to school these days?" ”
Pan Tao lamented: "Last week, I beat up the Zhou family boy, and I was happy, but I actually told my parents, my father locked me up at home in anger, and I didn't give my mobile phone, I only came out today, and I found out that you were discharged from the hospital." ”
Meng Liangren thought about it, the Zhou family was the maiden family of Meng Zhe Meng Xuan's biological mother, he hadn't met a few times, after Meng's father died, Meng Zhe took Meng Xuan back to the Zhou family every year for the New Year, but he wouldn't take him.
Now that I think about it, I should also bring Meng Xu.
Meng Liangren's heart jumped, and Pan Tao poked him and said, "Hey, you haven't said it yet, why did Xu Shangwen offend you?" ”
He replied: "It's nothing, it's not pleasing to the eye, don't look for him if it's okay in the future." ”
Pan Tao let out an "oh", looked at him, and said, "Is it for that Tang Lan in the third class?" She is quite dishonest, there is no need to tear her face for this kind of woman. ”
Meng Liangren remembered that Tang Lan was also present that day, and he was hugging Xu Shangwen, but he was angry, and he didn't bother to pay attention to these people.
Pan Tao stretched his waist and said, "Ouch, I haven't slept yet, I'm hungry, go, brother will take you to eat well." ”
Meng Liangren didn't refuse, thought about it, but still took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Cong Rong: "I'll eat out at noon, don't wait for me." ”
The Pan family started as a hotel and some entertainment venues, and now the main real estate and brokerage company, although it is not a family like Ye and Zhou, but Pan's father has both talent and connections, and is a business talent, so Pan's business has been able to compete with Meng Yezhou to this day.
There is also a big brother on Pan Tao, whose character is as first-class as Meng Zhe, so Pan's father is not worried about no successor, but he just grabs his younger son at every turn to discipline him.
Because he started as a catering, Pan's father also made good meals, and even with Pan Tao, he also had a tricky taste.
Meng Liangren was taken by him to a small tavern, and when he entered the door, the furnishings were very simple, the tables and chairs were some years old, but they were very clean, and the shelves against the wall were full of old wine bottles.
He found a window seat and sat down, and Pan Tao ordered in front of the counter: "Come here for half a catty of boiled fish, stir-fried meat, and rice." ”
Meng Liangren asked, "Is this your shop?" ”
Pan Tao shook his head again and again: "How is it possible, the master here is a head taller than my father." ”
After a while, the dishes were served, not as delicate as in a big restaurant, but very fragrant and sufficient.
Meng Liangren tasted it and said, "It's not bad." ”
Pan Tao said proudly about the old history of this shop, the chopsticks in his hand were not slower than Meng Liangren, the two young men who were still smoking strips, ate three catties of boiled fish in one meal, and the proprietress smiled when she saw it: "Slow down, don't choke." ”
When the two of them couldn't walk anymore, Pan Tao leaned back on the chair and said, "This family still makes dim sum, let's take some back?" ”
Meng Liangren also leaned back in his chair and said, "Okay." ”
The dim sum was packed in a small wooden box, Meng Liangren took it home, thought about it, put it in the refrigerator, and planned to keep it for supper.
The housekeeper asked him, "Does the young master still have dinner?" ”
Meng Liangren shook his head and said, "No need. So saying, he went upstairs.
After a while, Meng Xuan came back from shopping, and Ye Chan was by his side.
The housekeeper went to pour tea and said, "Miss Ye stays for dinner?" ”
Meng Xuan smiled: "Sister Ye Chan is sleeping in our house today. ”
The butler nodded, "Okay." ”
Ye Chan sat on the sofa, glanced at the old housekeeper and said, "Don't bother, right?" ”
Meng Xuan smiled: "What are you bothering about, it's almost a family." Then he said to the butler, "I have been walking all afternoon, and I am a little hungry." ”
The housekeeper said, "There are cakes bought for the little master in the refrigerator, so let's eat two of them." ”
Meng Xuan said: "Okay, I'll go get it myself." ”
Saying that, she came to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator door, the first floor was a small cake for Meng Jun, and the second floor was a wooden box, she was curious, so she took it out and opened it, and a smell of pastries wafted out.
When she got to the living room, Ye Chan was looking at the furnishings on the carved shelves of the partition, and Meng Xuan gestured to her with the box in her hand: "This snack is quite good, can you eat some?" ”
Ye Chan's eyes swept over the scratched old box lid, and said with a smile: "If you don't eat it, I still have to pay attention to my figure." ”
Meng Xuan was polite, thinking that it was just right not to eat.
In the evening, Meng Liangren went downstairs to forage for food, and the refrigerator rummaged through the upper and lower floors, but he didn't see it.
