239
Ke Hanxue touched her nose with a guilty conscience, and then brought up other topics.

A few days later, the poetry contest came as scheduled.

After exhibiting poems and paintings in the study, "Wuming Study" has become famous, and now "Wuming Study" is holding a poetry competition, which has attracted many celebrities and scholars from the town, and even some students from Linzhen have heard of it.

On the day when the poetry competition was held, the study room was full of students who came to participate, and most of the students here came for those awards.

This time, Ke Hanxue and the brothers and sisters of the Xiang family really bleed a lot, and the three prizes alone cost thousands of taels of silver.

Although it hurts a bit, Ke Hanxue knows that if there is no effort, there will be no reward. Looking at the students in the yard, she has a hunch that the study will soon reward them.

Because the hour hadn't arrived yet, and the host hadn't been seen yet, the students in the yard whispered to each other.

"I don't know who is the boss behind this 'Unknown Study'? It's so generous. I heard that the winner of the competition will get an ancient inkstone. I asked. It is said that this ancient inkstone was used by the emperor in the previous dynasty. If you take it outside If you sell it, you can sell it for at least a thousand taels of silver."

"No, I also heard that there is more than one award!"

"Of course, there are three rankings!" One of the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy said proudly, "I also got inside information, and I heard that the owner of the 'Wuming Study' invited a gentleman from the 'Zhongyi' private school in the county Come and comment on poetry for us!"

"'Zhongyi private school?'" Everyone was surprised again.

"I heard that the gentleman in this 'Zhongyi' private school was once a top scholar, and was an official in the court for a few years, and then I don't know why he resigned and returned to the county to become a teacher."

"Yes, I heard that this number one scholar is so talented that he can become a poem with every step."

"..."

"..."

There was a lot of discussion outside the courtyard, and Ke Hanxue and Xiang Qiuxin, who had returned to the inner courtyard, were also extremely nervous. Today's poetry competition is about the life and death of the study, how can they not be nervous?
"Miss, Miss Xueer~~" Chunxiang happily ran in.

"Chunxiang, what's the matter?" Ke Hanxue grabbed Chunde and asked anxiously.

Chunxiang vividly relayed the situation outside to the two of them. Ke Hanxue and Xiang Qiuxin were very excited after hearing this. It seems that the momentum is big enough, and it will be up to Xiang Leping next.

"Chunxiang, go check again!" Xiang Qiuxin ordered.

"Yes, Miss!" Chunxiang hurried out again.

Xiang Leping looked at the time and saw that it was almost the same, so he stepped onto the pre-set stage and made a motion of silence to the people in the audience.

After the students in the audience quieted down, Xiang Leping said: "Hello, students, next time Xiang Leping..."

"Xiang Leping? Is it Xiang Leping, the son of the richest man in Xiangsang Town?"

Just as Xiang Leping opened his mouth, the bottom boiled again.

"It's no wonder that the study is so generous, so it is backed by the Xiang family!" Another said.

"..."

"..."

"Everyone, everyone, please be quiet, be quiet!" Xiang Leping shouted.

After a long while, the following quieted down again, Xiang Leping cleared his throat, and continued: "Everyone, please allow someone Xiang to represent the owner of the study to thank all the students for coming to the 'Unknown Study'. Before the start, let someone Xiang explain the rules of the game to everyone, so as not to cause controversy after the game."

Xiang Leping paused, and then explained the rules of the competition. After everyone had no objections, he invited the gentleman from the "Zhongyi" private school in the county town, and gave a brief introduction, causing the audience to be in an uproar again.

After getting the desired effect, Xiang Leping smiled with satisfaction, and asked the teacher from the "Zhongyi" private school to light the incense on the stage, and the competition officially started.

The competition was the time for one stick of incense. After one stick of incense, three students stood out from among hundreds of people.

The prize was presented to the three students by the teacher of the "Zhongyi" private school, and he said a few words of encouragement to them. The three students were so excited that they couldn't speak, and nodded to him.

After awarding the awards, Xiang Leping said to everyone in the audience: "The poems written by the three award-winning students today will be framed in the poetry and painting exhibition room of our study. Interested students are welcome to come and visit. I also hope to see more works of students in this exhibition room in the future..."

Seeing the dejected students who did not win the prize, Xiang Leping whispered to the teacher from the "Zhongyi" private school, and the teacher from the "Zhongyi" private school stood in the middle of the stage again and asked the students in the audience: "Everyone, Do you know what the real intention of the owner of the 'Unnamed Study' for holding this poetry competition?"

Mr. Private School paused, and saw that everyone in the audience stretched their ears, and then continued: "The real intention of the owner of 'Wu Ming Study' is to provide a platform for students to learn from each other and communicate with each other. I found my own deficiencies and corrected them during the exchange of ideas and exchanges, and I also hope to be able to gather with you again in the 'Unknown Study Room' on this day next year."

"Could it be that 'Wu Ming Study' will hold a poetry competition next year?" The pot exploded again.

"Mr. Zhong from the "Zhongyi" private school will come next year?" Some students who came for the "Zhongyi" private school thought that they could have a close contact with this legendary champion next year, and they couldn't control their excitement. .

"..."

Xiang Leping smiled and nodded to Mr. Private School, and then shouted to the people below: "That's right! Every year in the future, 'Wuming Study' will hold a poetry competition. All students are welcome to participate. This year's This is the end of the poetry competition, Xiang hereby wishes all the students to achieve their wishes and achieve fame as soon as possible."

Seeing this, Chunxiang also knew that today's poetry competition was a success, so she turned around and hurried to the inner courtyard.

Ke Hanxue and Xiang Qiuxin paced back and forth in the courtyard of the inner courtyard uneasily, and when they saw Chunxiang coming back, the two stepped forward together, one grabbed her arm on one side, and asked anxiously: "How is it? Didn't mess it up?"

Chunxiang frowned, and the two of them raised their hearts and asked, "Did you smash it?"

"No!" Chunxiang winked and smiled.

"Really?"

"Well, miss Xue'er, miss, it's a pity that you didn't see the game, you don't know how tense the atmosphere was just now..."

As Chunxiang spoke, she told the two about the game in the front yard just now.

After listening, Ke Hanxue smiled. In fact, all of this was her idea. She just didn't expect that Xiang Leping could control the atmosphere of the venue so well.

"Great, Xue'er, the poetry competition is over, and all the students in the town know about our study, and we will be busy in the future." Xiang Qiuxin happily hugged Ke Hanxue and called out.
