He dared to compete with others in writing, but that did not mean he thought too highly of himself.
As soon as Xu Meng made a move, people who knew the business could see that he was indeed something!
He wrote with great ease, from the moment he picked up the pen to the moment he put it down, with hardly any pause in between. It was so deceptive that one couldn't even blink.
Because in the blink of an eye, he had finished it!
Xu Meng's calligraphy was so beautiful and graceful that it looked like clouds and smoke on paper, attracting many people to watch.
Old Madam Lu, who was sitting upstairs, also saw it. She didn't understand it, but seeing the reactions of others, she knew that Xu Meng's calligraphy was indeed very well written.
Then Lu Yan will definitely not win!
Just as she was contemplating and preparing to stop Lu Yan from going on stage, she heard someone say, "The prince is here!"
Lu Yan was dressed simply, with no unnecessary adornments except for the jade pendant he carried with him. His hair was neatly combed, but his face still had a dazed look, as if he had just woken up.
"Oh, this prince is so elegant, with red lips and white teeth, just like a little girl."
"Look at how confused the child looks. I'm afraid he was pulled out of bed directly."
"Xu Meng is really going too far. Why doesn't he go after Qin Shaobei? Why does he go after this kid?"
From the moment Lu Yan appeared, the voices of many people had already reached Xu Meng's ears.
He tightened his grip on the pen, but still put it down in a casual manner, "Xu has finished it. Please give me some advice, young master!"
Lu Yan stood in the middle of the crowd, still a little nervous.
This was the first time he faced so many strangers since he became mute.
Moreover, it happened on such an occasion.
He had heard everything that Old Lady Lu had said just now. Lu Yan knew very well that his great-grandmother was worried that he would bring shame to the Marquisate, so she hid him and didn't want him to come out to see others.
But his mother once said that although he was a mute, he should not belittle himself.
He is a living person, and the eldest son of the Marquis's Mansion. One day, he will definitely appear in front of everyone.
But Lu Yan didn't expect that this day would come so soon.
"Yan'er, come here quickly." Shen Ruoyan waved to Lu Yan, and everyone saw that the young master, who had a calm face just now, suddenly ran to Shen Ruoyan's side, slightly raised his head to look at her, and looked very well-behaved.
"Ah! How nice it would be to give me a young prince like this?"
This was what many of the noble ladies present were thinking. There was no other way, as Lu Yan's appearance combined all the advantages of Lu Jing and Shen Ruoyan.
When he was little, he hadn't grown up much, so I didn't notice it much. I just thought that the child was fair, tender and cute, and didn't look like a boy.
But now, as Lu Yan grows up, his appearance advantages are gradually highlighted - his eyebrows are clear and his teeth are like pearls, which is unforgettable.
"Yan'er, this Brother Xu wants to play a game with you. Later, you can write a calligraphy like your brother, okay?" Shen Ruoyan squatted down, without any posture of being the mistress of the house. Instead, she gently touched Lu Yan's head like a common mother.
"Just think of it as the teacher checking your homework, okay?"
If everyone didn't feel deeply about the identity of Lu Yan's child when Xu Meng was shouting here just now, then now, seeing Shen Ruoyan's attitude towards Lu Yan, everyone couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
The eldest son of the Marquis of Changning is just a child no matter how you look at him. I don’t know what has happened to him that he has to be bullied like this by Xu Meng!
"Madam Lu, the prince is so young, how can he compare? This Xu Meng is just taking the opportunity to show off, just ignore him!"
The one who spoke was a young lady. Xu Meng glared at her immediately, but the young lady was no less angry. If the people next to her hadn't held her back, she would have rolled up her sleeves and hit him!
Xu Meng snorted, "Mrs. Lu, you won't go back on your word, will you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Ruoyan hadn't expressed his opinion yet, but Lu Yan stood up and said, "Brother Xu, I want to compete with you."
Lu Yan was very small, and when he stood in front of Xu Meng, he had to look up with great difficulty to see his appearance.
Hateful appearance.
At this moment, Lu Yan had only these four words in his mind.
Xu Meng gave way, and Shen Ruoyan showed a worried expression. In the eyes of others, she was a good mother who was worried about her child.
Although their identities and statuses are different, at this moment, their feelings for their children are the same.
Many of the noble ladies present sympathized with her.
Lu Yan walked to the lower table, looked at the pen and paper on it, slowly smoothed out the paper, and then picked up the pen.
He was not tall, and this table was specially made for him by Shen Ruoyan, which was just right for him to use for writing.
"Oh my god, why didn't I know before that the prince of Changning Marquis Mansion is so cute?"
"Yeah, look at the way he writes with the pen. Doesn't it look like my cat scratching at dogtail grass?"
Shen Ruoyan almost couldn't help laughing as she listened to the discussion of the noble ladies next to her. Lu Yan was still a child after all. Even if the table was specially made for him, he couldn't write as smoothly as Xu Meng.
He wrote seriously, was fully engaged, and looked particularly well-behaved.
So, the women watched Lu Yan write with their eyes wide open. The other men subconsciously looked at his writing, wanting to see what such a young child could write!
"Mom, I've finished writing."
