Chapter 160 Accept the challenge!
He dared to compete with others in writing, which shows that he thinks 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 picking up the pen to putting it down, with hardly any pause in between, making it so difficult to even blink.
Because in the blink of an eye, he had finished it!
Xu Meng's calligraphy was so beautiful and beautiful, and 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 from seeing other people's reactions, she knew that Xu Meng's calligraphy was indeed very well written.
Then Lu Yan will definitely not win!
Just as she was thinking hard about stopping Lu Yan from going on stage, she heard someone say, "The prince is here!"
Lu Yan was dressed simply, with no extra decorations except for the jade pendant he carried with him. His hair was neatly combed, but his face still showed a sense of daze, 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.
And, it happened on such an occasion.
He had heard what 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 people.
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 come 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 tilted his head to look at her, and looked very well-behaved.
"Ah! How nice it would be to give me a little prince like this?"
This was what many of the noble ladies present were thinking. There was no way around it, as Lu Yan's looks combined all the advantages of Lu Jing and Shen Ruoyan.
When he was young, 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 gradually grew up, his appearance advantages gradually became apparent - his eyebrows were clear and his teeth were as white as pearls, which was unforgettable.
"Yan'er, Brother Xu wants to play a game with you. You can write a calligraphy like your brother later, okay?" Shen Ruoyan squatted down, not acting like a mistress at all. 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 looks like a child no matter how you look at him. I don’t know what has happened to him to deserve being 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 her opinion yet, but Lu Yan stood up and said, "Brother Xu, I want to compete with you."
Lu Yan was very small. Standing in front of Xu Meng, he had to look up with great difficulty to be able to see his appearance.
Hateful appearance.
At this moment, Lu Yan only had these four words in his mind.
Xu Meng offered his hand, and Shen Ruoyan showed a worried look. 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 felt the same way.
Lu Yan walked to the shorter 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's Mansion is so cute?"
"Yes, look at the way he holds the pen to write. Doesn't it look like my cat scratching at dogtail grass?"
Shen Ruoyan almost couldn't help laughing when listening 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 like Xu Meng.
He wrote seriously, was fully engaged, and looked exceptionally well-behaved.
So, the women watched Lu Yan writing carefully with starry eyes. The other men subconsciously looked at his writing, wanting to see what such a young child could write!
"Mom, I've finished writing."
After Lu Yan finished writing, he obediently stepped aside without making any noise or fuss, and he didn't seem to care about what others thought of his handwriting.
The only thing he cared about was Shen Ruoyan.
Noticing his gaze, Shen Ruoyan did not immediately order someone to pick up the words, but instead hugged Lu Yan and praised him, "Thank you for your hard work."
It's really hard to face all this at such a young age.
After pacifying Lu Yan, Shen Ruoyan had the words hung up and placed together with Xu Meng's words that had already been hung.
“No need to be polite, you can come forward and watch.”
As soon as Shen Ruoyan finished speaking, someone came over impatiently from behind, looked at the two words, and nodded continuously.
"Although the prince is young, and his handwriting is not as powerful as that of Master Xu, every stroke is round and smooth, with strong bones. Given time, he will become a great man!"
"A person's handwriting is like his character. This handwriting is a silent poem. The prince's handwriting is so natural and amazing! He is so young, but he can write like this. It really makes us feel inferior..."
Xu Meng was also watching in front, and he was almost mesmerized.
why?
In order to show his excellence, he deliberately added many difficult-to-imitate techniques when writing, but Lu Yan just wrote in a very disciplined manner, but the feeling he gave people as a whole was even more magical than his!
Yes, it is Shen Yun!
This kind of thing cannot be obtained by deliberate practice. Xu Meng is well aware of this, so he is even more clear - it seems that he has won, but in fact, he has already lost.
