Although his mother didn't say anything, but just kept on traveling and changing places, he knew in his heart that his mother was traveling towards a certain place with a purpose.
If he stayed here for so long, he was afraid that it would delay his mother's business. That was why when Academician Fang asked about this matter, he refused without a second thought.
It didn't matter to him whether he became a Tongsheng a day earlier or later. In his mind, the most important thing was his mother's affairs.
"You little fool. If you don't take the exam this time, you'll have to wait another year. This is the Tiancheng Palace, where the Tongshi and Xiangshi exams are held. You don't have to travel to several places to take the exams. It's so much easier. If we go to a remote place tomorrow, you'll have to go through so many rounds to take the exam, which is time-consuming and tiring."
"Mo'er, you don't have to worry about how long we'll be here. We've been traveling a lot, and the New Year will be here in two or three months. Mother doesn't plan to travel any further, and will spend the New Year in Tiancheng County. Now, mother wants to ask you, do you want to take the exam?"
"If we celebrate the New Year here, then Mo'er will go and give it a try." Little Mo'er said.
Bei Yutang rubbed Xiao Mo'er's head and said, "I'll tell Academician Fang tomorrow."
"good."
Tomorrow is the last day to apply for a place, and Xiao Moer has managed to catch up with the last registration. After confirming that he will take the Tongsheng exam, Xiao Moer continues to do his usual work: study when he should study, practice martial arts when he should practice martial arts, and rest when he should rest.
Dai Xiang sat down next to Bei Yutang and said, "Sister Mu, the young master is about to take the Tongsheng exam, why is he still practicing sword here?"
"It's called a balance between work and rest."
"Combine work and rest?!" Daixiang was confused, but since the lady thought it was right, it must be right.
The children's exam was to be held at the end of this month, with only ten days to go. On the day of the exam, Bei Yutang got up early, first checking that Xiao Moer had everything he brought, and then went to make breakfast.
Xiao Zimo calmly finished the breakfast prepared by Bei Yutang, and Bei Yutang led him by the hand to the children's examination venue. At dawn, he saw an endless stream of people on the street heading in the same direction.
Each family held a lighted lantern in their hands and walked slowly forward.
"Mom, I'm scared." A child about eight years old said to his mother beside him.
The mother angrily scolded him, "Hey kid, look at your little brother next to you. He's younger than you and he's not scared at all. You're older than him, so why are you scared?"
The eight-year-old child glanced sideways at Xiao Zimo and saw that the little brother was very calm. It didn't seem like he was going to take an exam, but rather to watch the fun.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Tongshi Institute, a large number of people had gathered, many of whom were accompanied by their families.
Bei Yutang searched the crowd and found Xiao Moer, who was studying at Hongshan Academy, and took him there.
Candidates must be recommended by a college or a scholar to be eligible to take the exam. When entering the examination room, they will also line up for inspection according to the academy.
"Your child is so young, and you let him take the exam?" After seeing Xiao Moer, a parent from the same academy looked at Bei Yutang in surprise.
In such an era, the examination process was not only cumbersome but also very expensive.
Many children from poor families who want to raise a scholar or juren have to rely on their own family or the entire clan to raise one.
