Mr. Loo said this phrase to encourage Wang Youheng and Wu Lang to relax, asserting that the Tongsheng exam is not difficult to pass. Being a sharp-minded person who had passed the Imperial Scholar examination himself, Mr. Loo found it easy, but Wang Youheng and Wu Lang dared not take it so lightly.
After a long conversation, Mr. Loo gave Wang Youheng another instruction, asking him to write a few essays during the New Year and present them for review after the holiday. Wang Youheng happily agreed.
It was not until the moon was high in the sky that Wang Youheng stood up to take his leave.
Everyone escorted him out, naturally including Lian Manman as well.
"Youheng, it won't be until next year that we can meet again," Lian Manman said. She realized that Wang Youheng was returning to Jinyang County Town early, and she would not be able to send him off, meaning it would be next year when he returned.
