The two looked at each other and smiled, and Meng Lianyi's heart was warm.

Although Meng Lianyi didn't do these things for Mo Xiuran to be grateful to himself, but seeing that Mo Xiuran kept all his kindness to him in his heart, he still felt that his hard work was not in vain, and everything was seen by others.

Three days later.

Today is the day when the prefect officially holds a poetry meeting.

Meng Lianyi got up early in the morning and changed Mo Xiuran into a decent dress, which was worn on him in dark green, making him green and straight.

This made Meng Lianyi a little emotional, in a few years, this child will most likely grow into a handsome teenager.

"Talk to your peers more at the poetry meeting, it would be better if you could get to know a few more people, and you can go out and learn from them in the future."

Meng Lianyi saw that he was about to go out, and he was still a little uneasy, although he was calm in nature, unlike children of the same age.

However, most of the candidates who could go to the poetry meeting were older than him, and Meng Lianyi was a little worried that he didn't know if he could talk to them.

"Aunt Meng, don't worry, I will behave well and strive to leave a good impression in front of the prefect."

He went over this time to make the prefect remember him, and he also wanted to take a look at the writing of the other candidates.

With his words, Meng Lianyi was relieved, so he let him leave.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Bai Jing, who had been waiting for a long time.

"It's been a long wait, let's go."

The two planned to go early, after all, the prefect's mansion was quite far away from them, and they had to go there early to avoid being late.

Bai Jing specially rented a carriage, and the two of them rushed over in a carriage.

When I arrived at the prefect's mansion, it was bright and there were already many people gathered at the door.

After giving their names, they were invited into the house.

The prefect set up a stage in the backyard, on which the singers were playing the piano and music, and the invited people sat under the stage, admiring the wind and moon while talking together.

Because not long after the list came out, most people were discussing this matter, but the most curious thing was the eight-year-old head.

Because of this, after learning that Mo Xiuran had come, everyone's eyes instantly focused on Mo Xiuran's body.

Several candidates gathered around, glanced at Mo Xiuran, and said in a dissatisfied tone, "A little fart kid who doesn't have any hair is also worthy of being the head of the case, what a joke!" ”

"As soon as I saw his triumphant look, it was annoying, he was not very old, but he was not small, and he still had to learn a lesson."

These people have been working hard for several years, and they are finally on the list, and they all know the hardships in their hearts.

But now that they learned that Mo Xiuran became the top of the list at the age of eight, and it was the first year to take the government exam, they couldn't help but feel jealous of him.

This kind of so-called genius is the easiest to provoke hatred.

Several people exchanged a look, and they had an idea in an instant.

One of them walked over to Mo Xiuran and said with bad intentions: "Little brother, it looks like you are coming to the poetry meeting for the first time, I will toast you first, and we will be friends in the future." ”

As he spoke, the man picked up a wine glass from the plate held by the maid next to him, poured a full glass of wine and handed it to Mo Xiuran.

Mo Xiuran frowned slightly, this person looked like he was deliberately making things difficult for himself.

He was too young, and he had never drunk alcohol before, and his first reaction when he saw the glass of wine in front of him was to refuse.

"This senior, I know that you have good intentions to welcome me, so you invited me to drink, but I am still young and really can't drink, so let's toast you with tea instead of wine."

Mo Xiuran deliberately misinterpreted the other party's intention as welcoming himself, and proposed to replace wine with tea.

If the other party still insists on letting him drink at this time, it is clear that he wants to embarrass himself.

At this time, the backyard was already overcrowded, and most of the people who came were candidates and prefects.

The man didn't have the courage to deliberately make things difficult in front of so many people.

Seeing that Mo Xiuran had already said this, it could be regarded as giving him a birthmark, so he could only go down the steps.

"Little brother is too polite, I'm just joking with you, you're still young, how can I let you drink."

He smiled awkwardly, using laughter to hide the embarrassment of his plan failure.

Mo Xiuran took a cup of tea from the side and drank it all.

"Since I've already drunk it, shouldn't my seniors also drink a drink?"

However, although he had already retreated, Mo Xiuran did not forget that this person deliberately wanted to make things difficult for him, so after he finished drinking tea, he continued to speak.

The man was stunned, he didn't expect Mo Xiuran to suddenly speak at this time, which made him in a dilemma for a while.

After all, it was he who took the initiative to say that he wanted to toast, and now the other party is replacing wine with tea, but it is impossible for him to use tea to get away with tea at this time, after all, Mo Xiuran is young, but he is not young.

Sure enough, everyone's eyes were focused on him alone.

Now he has no way out, if he doesn't even drink a glass of wine, he will inevitably be compared to an eight-year-old child.

Thinking of this, he had to grit his teeth and drink all the wine in his cup.

This time, not only did he fail to embarrass Mo Xiuran, but he lost face and became a joke in everyone's eyes, which made him hate Mo Xiuran even more.

It's just that in front of everyone, no matter how much he wants to embarrass Mo Xiuran, he can't find a chance, so he can only hide this breath in his heart first.

At this time, the prefect suddenly walked towards Mo Xiuran and stopped in front of Mo Xiuran.

When he came over just now, he happened to hear what Mo Xiuran said, which made him extremely surprised.

After all, Mo Xiuran was too young, he originally thought that Mo Xiuran would refuse directly without leaving any affection, but he didn't expect that Mo Xiuran gave the other party affection at the same time, but he made the other party lose face to the extreme.

"What the young man said just now is good, although this kid is very young, he is not lost to you in words and deeds, so you had better not rely on the young age of others to find ways to deliberately embarrass others."

What he meant by this was that the few people who wanted to make things difficult for Mo Xiuran just now all changed their faces in an instant, and they were glad that they didn't make a head bird.

After the prefect praised Mo Xiuran, he suddenly knew that the prefect must have valued the child in front of him.

Therefore, even some people were a little dissatisfied with letting a child like Mo Xiuran get the position of the head of the case, but seeing that the prefect took a fancy to Mo Xiuran, they didn't dare to say it again.

A few people who were about to make things difficult for Mo Xiuran just now, saw the current situation, and they also dealt with it with haha.
