Yongchang Town was within Anping County, and the Luo family's sideyard was about a ten-minute walk from the examination venue, offering both tranquility and convenience.
Yang Mengchen didn't let the four continue their studies. Instead, he took them to the construction site of Fairy Lake, to unwind and talk about tactics for dealing with the examination. The intention was, of course, to help them relax.
The next day, at the second segment of the morning hour, Yang Mengchen and his elder brother, along with his cousins, escorted Yang Chengyou and the others to the examination venue. According to regulations, candidates were to enter the venue at the fourth segment of the morning hour.
There were already many candidates waiting outside the venue, some brimming with confidence, some wearing a worried frown, and some jittery with nerves.
