"What's going on today? We haven't had any customers for so many days. How come so many people came today?" Ke Hanxue asked happily.

"Xue'er, it was my elder brother who went to find his former classmates and told them that there is a study here, and they came to cheer them on."

"Then I really have to thank you brother." Ke Hanxue said happily.

Xiang Qiuxin hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Xue'er, I heard that Mr. Ge has left Xiangsang Town, did he say when he will come back?"

"Maybe a year or so."

"It's been so long, will he really come back then?" Xiang Qiuxin asked contradictoryly. She neither wanted Ge Yunzhang to abandon Xue'er, but also hoped that Ge Yunzhang would not come back, because if he didn't come back, her brother would have a chance.

Ke Hanxue frowned, and said sadly, "Who knows?"

Seeing that Ke Hanxue was in a low mood, Xiang Qiuxin hurriedly persuaded again: "Mr. Ge is so kind to you, he will definitely come back, and when he comes back, you can get married."

Ke Hanxue smiled uninterestedly, wondering where Ge Yunzhang should go this time?

This dynasty has no telephone and no internet, which is really disturbing.

"Xue'er, you haven't been to my house for several days, should you go to my house for lunch?" Xiang Qiuxin asked, holding Ke Hanxue's hand.

"No, my father and my brother-in-law are waiting for me at the 'Fulin Restaurant'." According to the shopkeeper, Ge Yunzhang had confessed before leaving that he would prepare meals for the three of them at noon every day and let them eat at the restaurant at noon.

Ke Hanxue knew that this was caused by Ge Yunzhang's narrow-mindedness. He must have known that he often went to Xiang's house for dinner, so he specially arranged it like this.

Although Ke Hanxue sneered at his narrow-mindedness, she was still delighted by his nervousness towards herself.

"Alright then." Xiang Qiuxin didn't dare to force her, but her brother was about to be disappointed again...

Although Xiang Leping's classmates patronized the study, his classmates were limited after all. A few days later, the study returned to its original depression, which made Ke Hanxue and Xiang Qiuxin very distressed. Xiang Qiuxin didn't even have the intention to paint. .

Ke Hanxue thought hard for several days, and finally came up with a good solution. After discussing with Xiang Qiuxin, Xiang Qiuxin agreed.

Xiang Qiuxin went home and told his brother about Ke Hanxue's idea, and Xiang Leping also applauded.

Because Xiang Leping is a man, he is responsible for many things.

According to Ke Hanxue, Xiang Leping wrote about a hundred so-called "propaganda leaflets" on silk, and then asked people to take them to several private schools in the town and wait for the students inside to distribute them to them as soon as they were in class.

The effect of this "leaflet" was obvious. The next day after the leaflet was sent out, customers came one after another, almost making Xiang Qiuxin's brother and sister happy.

But Ke Hanxue knows that these guests are only temporary. These people are curious about this novel "leaflet" and will come to find out. After satisfying their curiosity, they may not come. , because the things here are the same as those in the other study rooms.

These days, Ke Hanxue has also figured out the psychology of these scholars. They are all superstitious. If they feel that the pens and inks they bought in this study are easy to use and have inspiration for writing poems and paintings, then they will never switch to I went to the second study.

After some careful thinking, Ke Hanxue searched out more than 30 or [-] poems that he still remembered in his mind, and after writing the poems, he asked Xiang Qiuxin to paint corresponding to the poems.

And Xiang Leping seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and he also made five or six paintings in one day.

Not to mention, the brothers and sisters of the Xiang family have good painting skills. Although they are not top painters, the works they draw are still good, not to mention the poems searched by Ke Hanxue. It is written by famous poets of all ages.

After the poems and paintings were completed, they asked someone to frame them and set aside a room to display these poems and paintings for people to watch.

A few days later, Ke Hanxue couldn't help feeling that the word-of-mouth communication effect was not inferior to the power of modern media at all when looking at the nearly bursting studio.

In just a few days, almost all the students in the town knew that there was an exhibition of the master's poems and paintings in such a little-known study.

"Miss Xue'er, Qiu Xin, I think our study must have a name." Xiang Leping looked at the guests in the courtyard and muttered.

Ke Hanxue nodded thoughtfully: "You have to choose a name."

At the beginning, she was only thinking of finding something to distract Xiang Qiuxin, so don't get overwhelmed, and she never thought of giving the study a name.

"Xue'er, what do you think is a good name for our study?" Xiang Qiuxin asked, she admired Ke Hanxue so much now, and she had to ask her opinion first about everything.

Xiang Leping also looked at her with bright eyes, she had already given him too many surprises.

Ke Hanxue frowned and thought for a while, and said: "Our study can be said to be unknown among the many studies, and it has no name. In my opinion, it might as well be called 'Unnamed Study', what do you think?"

"Wuming Study?" Xiang Leping pondered for a while, and then laughed brightly: "No name is also a supreme state, well, let's call it Wuming Study!"

"Qiu Xin, what do you think?" Ke Hanxue asked Xiang Qiuxin again.

"I also think this name is good." Xiang Qiuxin also smiled.

"Since everyone agrees, I'll have someone make a plaque later!" Xiang Leping said.

Ke Hanxue glanced at the guests visiting poetry and painting, pondered for a moment, and then said to the two of them: "Now we have a lot of guests in the study, but not many people are shopping. Let’s put some blood on it, first get the reputation of Wuming Study, and when the study has a reputation, it will be much easier to make money.”

"Miss Xue'er, what good idea do you have?" Xiang Leping looked at her expectantly.

"Mr. Xiang, Qiu Xin, do you think the reputation of our study will cause a sensation in the whole Xiangsang town by holding a poetry competition in our study?"

"Poetry competition?" The brothers and sisters of the Xiang family were all taken aback. This poetry competition is an elegant and extravagant party that only young masters and ladies from rich families in the county can have, and their small study can also hold it?
"That's right, if you want to make money, you need to invest first. We can set up some awards for this poetry competition to attract some students to come to the competition. We won't be afraid that no one in our study will know about it."

"Miss Xue'er, please tell us in detail." Xiang Leping said enthusiastically.

Ke Hanxue took a brush, wrote down her plan on a piece of white silk, and drew the plan into a simple frame, and explained it to the Xiang family brothers and sisters one by one, and the Xiang family brothers were dumbfounded.

"Miss Xue'er, you are so versatile!" Xiang Leping couldn't help sighing while looking at what Ke Hanxue had drawn.
