Chapter 572: Compromise
Seeing that the lady in front of her suddenly asked her name, Lin Paner couldn't help but feel a little surprised in her heart.
It stands to reason that they just chatted a few words, and they shouldn't have asked their names yet.
Thinking about her, she glanced up and down at Mrs. Meng, she saw that Mrs. Meng was gorgeously dressed and her headdress was exquisite, she must be either rich or expensive, so she should just be curious.
Even so, Lin Paner felt that there was no need to hide her name, so she said generously.
"My surname is Lin Pan'er, and I am the niece of the Lin family."
Hearing the name Lin Pan'er, the smile on Mrs. Meng's face disappeared instantly, and she glanced up and down at Lin Pan'er, her expression full of weirdness.
"Since you like this book, take it, I don't need you to let me."
Handing the book to Lin Paner, Mrs. Meng took the maid to finish the book and left, and Lin Paner looked at the book in her hand, full of doubts.
The woman had spoken to her with a hint of kindness, why did her attitude change so quickly after hearing her name?
She really couldn't figure it out, so she didn't think about it anymore, she flipped through the book in her hand, and was soon attracted by the story in the book.
What is recorded in the travelogue is indeed true, and the stories included in this book are even more bizarre, since it is a good book, Lin Paner completely left what happened just now.
She picked up the book and went to the scholar.
"Miss, but you want to buy this one-of-a-kind book?"
Hearing this, Lin Paner nodded slightly, and the scholar asked her a few questions, and only after confirming that she was a book lover did he agree to sell the book to her.
After receiving the money, seeing that Lin Paner still didn't leave, the scholar couldn't help but have a little temper.
"Since the book was sold to you, what are you doing here?"
Listening to her words, Lin Paner's face had a touch of crimson, and she explained her intention, it turned out that she was also here to get the book for Lin Paner.
The scholar handed over another solitary book to Lin Pan'er and drove her away, but the scholar really didn't understand why Meng Lin wanted to buy two identical solitary books and let the two of them pick them up.
After returning home, Mrs. Meng figured out the key to this, if Lin Paner didn't have classes in the afternoon, Meng Lin naturally didn't have classes either, which meant that she was deceived.
Seeing that someone came to call her, Meng Lin knew that Mrs. Meng must have seen Lin Pan'er, but this also meant that her plan was seen through by Mrs. Meng.
"Mother, what are you looking for me?"
Looking at Mrs. Meng, Meng Lin lowered her head slightly, she tightened her fingers, and her expression was a little worried.
She was not afraid that she would be scolded by Mrs. Meng, but that Lin Paner would leave a bad impression on Mrs. Meng, after all, Lin Paner was also kept in the dark about this plan.
"You are now bold and dare to deceive your mother."
Seeing that Mrs. Meng only reprimanded herself for lying to her and did not talk about Lin Paner, Meng Lin knew that Mrs. Meng had a good impression of Lin Paner.
Thinking of this, her eyes instantly brightened a little, she sat beside Mrs. Meng, and then raised her head and asked.
"Mother, what do you think of Lin Pan'er?"
This is to admit that she planned this matter, and Mrs. Meng hurriedly reprimanded her, but she couldn't say anything about Lin Paner.
After all, she wanted to introduce her to Meng Qingzhou at the beginning, so that he thought about Lin Paner, but she didn't expect that the woman was Lin Paner.
Fortunately, she didn't say what she was thinking, but asked her family history first, otherwise she would have died of shame.
Seeing that Mrs. Meng didn't answer her words, Meng Lin knew that there was a play, so she hurriedly showed her attitude.
"Mother, Pan'er must have seen her, you should know that she is indeed a good girl, I plan this today to tell you, not only does my brother like her, I also want her to be my sister-in-law."
Meng Lin has always had a very high eye for people, coupled with her impression of Lin Paner today, Mrs. Meng is no longer as resistant to Lin Paner as she was before.
Meng Qingzhou's love for Lin Paner is known to her, and she didn't agree before because she thought that Lin Paner was a seductive vixen, but now it seems that she was wrong.
It's just that although this Lin Paner is different from what she imagined, her life experience is there after all, which makes her very entangled.
Seeing Mrs. Meng's contemplative appearance, Lin Paner knew that Mrs. Meng was hesitant, and her heart was full of joy, but she deliberately pretended to talk back to Mrs. Meng on her face.
"Even if my mother doesn't like it, I will support my brother."
Seeing Meng Lin's insistent appearance, Mrs. Meng hesitated for a while and decided to go to Master Meng to discuss it, but she still pretended to be stern on her face.
"Today, you are unfilial to design your mother, do you know that you are wrong?"
"My daughter knows her mistakes, but my daughter doesn't regret it."
Lowering her head, Meng Lin lowered her eyebrows and said pleasantly, but she still showed her attitude, she knew that the more this was the case, Mrs. Meng would accept Lin Pan'er for the sake of her brother and sister.
"Since you know your mistake, go to the bedroom and think about the past."
Saying that, Mrs. Meng threw the lone book in her hand to Meng Lin, and then walked out with the maid.
Looking at Mrs. Meng's figure, a smile appeared on Meng Lin's face, she knew that this thing had finally been done.
After all, Lin Paner is such a good person, Mrs. Meng will definitely like it when she sees it, but she doesn't have to think about it.
Handing over the lone book in his hand to the maid on the side, Meng Lin tiptoed behind Mrs. Meng.
Mrs. Meng had long known that Meng Lin was following behind her, but she turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it at all.
She is now going to discuss this matter with Master Meng, so that Meng Lin can see it, so that even if she disagrees in the end, let them know that she is not alone.
When she arrived at Lord Meng's study, Mrs. Meng told her about the matter, and her description of Lin Paner was very pertinent, without mixing her own personal feelings.
This alone can be seen why Master Meng has been an official for so many years and has never even married a concubine.
"According to Madame's opinion, can this Lin Paner marry or not?"
"Since Lin'er and Qingzhou both like it, presumably her character is good, but her family background is really indescribable."
Master Meng naturally heard about Lin Paner's family background, but he didn't care much about it, he thought about it and continued.
"Although Lin Paner's family background is not good, she has been fostered under the knees of Princess Changning since she was a child, and now she is the county lord, naturally no one dares to chew the root of her tongue, and besides, the imperial examination is coming soon, and Mrs. should not force Qingzhou too much."
Hearing this, Mrs. Meng let out a long sigh, she hesitated for a while and had already made a decision in her heart, and then she opened the window and said to Meng Lin who was squatting in front of the window.
"You go back and tell your brother that if he can win the imperial examination in one fell swoop, his mother will no longer interfere in his marriage."
