Mei Chiu corrected the parents,saying that in accordance with the established practice among scholars,those who had passed of the examination were called "Old schoolmates" even if they were only 10 years old,but those who had not passed were called "Little schoolmates" even if they were more than 80 years old.Therefore,an "old schoolmate" usually did not defer to a "little schoolmate" when they met even if the latter was older.As he listened,Chou Chin turned red with embarrassment.
