Chapter 571: A Coincidental Encounter
After that, Mrs. Meng walked out, although Meng Qingzhou felt that he was right, but he didn't dare to disobey her words, so he had to kneel honestly in the ancestral hall.
Seeing that a few hours had passed, Meng Qingzhou was still kneeling in the ancestral hall and refused to admit his mistake, seeing this, Meng Lin had to secretly take some food and come over to see Meng Qingzhou.
"Brother, you have been kneeling for so long, you must be hungry, I secretly brought this meal, my mother doesn't know, you can eat it quickly."
Although Meng Qingzhou has practiced martial arts since he was a child and his physical fitness is not bad, but in the end, it is his own brother, Meng Lin's heart is full of distress.
"I'm not hungry."
Knowing that Meng Lin was worried about herself, Meng Qingzhou squeezed out a smile and said, Mrs. Meng refused to agree to this family business, how could he eat.
Seeing that Meng Qingzhou was so stubborn, Meng Lin sighed, but even if Meng Qingzhou knelt down, it was not a way.
"Brother, if you are angry with your mother, your mother will definitely dislike Pan'er even more."
Knowing the woman's thoughts, Meng Lin persuaded, where did Meng Qingzhou not understand this truth, he just had nothing to do, he could only hope that he would kneel in the ancestral hall and let Mrs. Meng compromise.
"If my brother believes me, I have a way."
Hearing Meng Lin's words, Meng Qingzhou's eyes instantly lit up.
"Say it quickly."
Hearing this, Meng Lin whispered about her plan, Lin Paner is so kind, if Mrs. Meng comes into contact with her, she will definitely change her mind, so we might as well create a chance encounter for them.
Meng Qingzhou also felt that this plan was feasible, and the two discussed it again and thought of how to implement it.
"Brother, in that case, you better eat some."
Seeing Meng Lin's worried gaze, Meng Qingzhou barely ate a few bites, but if this matter was not resolved, he was really not in the mood.
The next day, through the subordinates, she learned that Meng Qingzhou knelt in the ancestral hall all night, and Mrs. Meng was also a little distressed, but Meng Qingzhou was not convinced, and she couldn't pull this face to let him get up.
She simply didn't go to the ancestral hall to see Meng Qingzhou, and at this moment, Master Meng and Meng Lin came over.
As soon as she entered the door, Meng Lin's tears flowed out of her swollen eyes, and she took Mrs. Meng's hand and said, her tone was full of pity.
"My brother has been kneeling in the ancestral hall all night, Lin'er saw that his face was pale, and he was afraid that he was about to fall, so Lin'er begged his mother to let him out."
Mrs. Meng didn't go to the ancestral hall because she was afraid that she would be soft-hearted, but Meng Lin described Meng Qingzhou's appearance at this time, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried in her eyes.
Seeing this, Lord Meng hurriedly pleaded for Meng Qingzhou next to him, and also handed Mrs. Meng a step, how could Mrs. Meng not be able to do it.
"Look at the way you look, Qingzhou is used to you, it's okay, I don't care, let you go."
This sentence is to agree to let Meng Qingzhou no longer kneel in the ancestral hall, Meng Daren felt sorry for his son, and hurried to the ancestral hall after getting this sentence.
At this time, Meng Lin also remembered the plan she had discussed with Meng Qingzhou yesterday, she wiped the tears on her face and then pulled Mrs. Meng's sleeve and said coquettishly.
"Mother, my daughter wants to ask you for something."
Seeing Meng Lin's appearance, Mrs. Meng asked her to talk.
"The daughter wants her mother to pick up a solitary book for her daughter, which the daughter bought for a lot of money."
"What do you have to buy these orphans for your daughter's family? Besides, you send a maid to fetch it. ”
Because of Meng Qingzhou's matter, Mrs. Meng was angry at this time, and she usually opposed Meng Lin reading those useless books, so her tone couldn't help but be a little heavier.
"That shopkeeper is a strange scholar, all the books that are sold must be picked up by himself or relatives and friends, otherwise they will not be sold, my daughter has a class today, mother, you can help me once."
Saying that, Meng Lin shook Mrs. Meng's hand, she looked at Mrs. Meng, her big eyes were full of pity, as if Mrs. Meng was about to cry if she didn't agree with her.
Looking at Meng Lin's appearance, Mrs. Meng still softened, although she was more strict on weekdays, she really loved Meng Lin.
"Just once."
Hearing Mrs. Meng's words, Meng Lin's face instantly blossomed, she cheered, and then leaned on Mrs. Meng's body.
"Mother treats me so well."
Hearing this, Mrs. Meng gently poked Meng Lin's forehead, and her face put on a serious look again, but her eyes were full of doting.
"Since you have a class, why don't you go down and prepare?"
Meng Lin hurriedly responded, and then she bowed and retreated, but instead of preparing for class, she went to Meng Qingzhou's study.
The plan has already begun, and Lin Paner naturally can't be absent.
Soon it was the time when Meng Lin said to pick up the book, and Mrs. Meng was also very interested in the scholar Meng Lin said, so she naturally arrived on time.
After arriving at the bookstore, Mrs. Meng saw the boss Meng Lin said, and someone happened to go to get the book.
"May I ask what is your relationship with Qing Dai?"
When he heard that it was her own sister, the scholar took out the book that the girl wanted, which shows that what Meng Lin said is true, and the scholar does have a bit of temper.
Because of the boredom in her heart these days, Mrs. Meng was not in a hurry to go back at this time, she looked at the layout of the bookstore and began to look inside.
Looking at the lone books on the shelves, Mrs. Meng's eyes also showed a little interest, these books are all good books.
At this moment, Mrs. Meng saw a lone book that she had been looking for before, and she hurriedly went to get it, and at this time, a person next to her had already taken the book down.
Looking at it from the side, Mrs. Meng saw the woman in front of her who was dressed plainly, but had a refined temperament.
And this woman didn't have those fat smells on her, but instead had a bookish smell, and she seemed to love books.
In fact, this woman is Lin Paner, but the two have never met, so they don't know each other's identities.
"Since Madame also likes this book, it is better to read it first."
Lin Paner handed the book in her hand to Mrs. Meng and said with a smile.
Seeing that this woman was polite, Mrs. Meng also had a good impression of her after taking the book, she casually flipped through it a few times and then asked.
"You've seen this book before?"
"No, I just saw the author mention this fragment from a travelogue, so I have an impression of this book, and I just saw it and wanted to read it."
There is a degree of advance and retreat, and she is a good girl who is not public, Mrs. Meng thought so, and she couldn't help but think of Meng Qingzhou.
I don't know which lady the woman in front of her is, Mrs. Meng thought that if Meng Qingzhou saw it, she would have a good impression and forget about Lin Pan'er, so she asked softly.
"What is the girl's name? Which lady is it? ”
