The contestants couldn't help but feel a little anxious when they saw the two people start writing. The reaction of those around them was even stronger, simply because one of them was a child of four or five years old.
"Look, that kid has started writing. I don't know what he wrote. I wonder if he just scribbled it down randomly."
"What can a four or five-year-old kid write?"
"Brother, you can't say that. Maybe he is a child prodigy." A handsome and gentle man said with a smile, a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
"Haha, a child prodigy? Do you think child prodigies are as common as cabbages and can be found everywhere? A child prodigy has appeared in the capital, which is rare in a hundred years. It is difficult for others to surpass him. It's not that I look down on that kid, no matter how talented he is, compared with the one in the capital, tsk tsk." The man shook his head, obviously very pessimistic about Xiao Moer.
"Speaking of that child prodigy in the capital, he's truly amazing. It's said he could recite the Thousand Character Classic and the Hundred Family Names at the age of three. By the time he was five, he could recite the "Speech" and the Five Classics and the Four Books backwards. By the age of six, he could compose poetry and couplets. By the age of eight, he was already a student. Now, at ten, he's already a scholar. He's truly incredible."
"This is probably the youngest scholar since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"That's right. Speaking of that person, the current emperor has even summoned him to his presence and praised him highly."
Bei Yutang naturally heard the discussions of the people around him, but he didn't take it to heart. Xiao Mo'er didn't need to be compared with others, as long as he was fine.
After a few breaths, Xiao Moer put down his pen, and Qin Yuxuan on the side also put down his pen.
The presiding servant saw that the two had finished and said to the crowd with a smile, "Now two of you have come up with the second line."
After half an incense stick, everyone stopped what they were doing, whether they had started writing or not. The servants hung up their second couplets one by one. Many people shook their heads after seeing them, expressing their disagreement.
Shopkeeper Fu and his team deliberately put the couplets by Xiao Mo'er and Qin Yuxuan at the end, simply because they were the fastest to finish, making everyone present most curious, so they were naturally the last to be released.
"Okay, now let's see how our last two couplets turn out."
Everyone who had been talking below just now shut up and focused their eyes on Xiao Moer and Qin Yuxuan.
Qin Yuxuan was a little curious about what kind of couplet the little guy would make.
He looked at him with his dark eyes, but found that the little guy was unusually calm, without a trace of timidity or panic.
This kid has some of his mother's charm.
"Now let's take a look at the couplet of the youngest contestant, Mu Zimo." Shopkeeper Fu winked at the servant, and the servant hung up Xiao Mo'er's couplet from the second floor.
Then a pair of calligraphy with quite a bit of elegance appeared in front of everyone.
"Oh, I didn't expect that the handwriting of this child has formed its own style. With time and practice, he will become a great artist." An old man who is well-versed in calligraphy and painting stroked his gray beard and admired.
"It's so rare to be able to write in your own style at such a young age."
Everyone was amazed by Xiao Mo'er's handwriting. It wasn't that his handwriting surpassed everyone else's. In fact, there were many people who wrote better than him, but his advantage was his age.
It is truly amazing and stunning that he has achieved such an achievement at such a young age.
