"Your Majesty! The test questions for this imperial examination have not yet been set, please show them to Your Majesty!" In the imperial palace of the Northern Han Dynasty, Lord Liu, the chief examiner of the imperial examination, was asking the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, a middle-aged and majestic man.

After hearing Lord Liu's inquiry, the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty touched his beard, and at this time, a young man dressed in black came behind him and gently patted him several times.

The appearance of the young man was extremely abrupt, as if he appeared here out of thin air, but the emperor and many of the maids and eunuchs in the hall also did not seem to see his appearance.

With the young man's beat, the emperor's body trembled slightly, and after a few breaths, he said to Lord Liu, who was under the head: "In my opinion, if the candidates are asked to write some rotten and old-fashioned vulgar essays in this imperial examination, I am afraid that the selected talents will also be mediocre, and the test question this time is 'fate', Liu Aiqing, what do you think?"

When Lord Liu heard what the emperor said, he left and bowed down, flatteringly said: "Your Majesty Shengming! This is a very good question! Your Majesty will go and prepare!"

On the day of the imperial examination, Cheng Yun sat on a bookcase, and after the chief examiner and the invigilators reviewed it several times in turn, they sent him a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

"Candidates, in this national examination, there is only one word in the question, 'fate'! The time to do the question is three hours!" The examiner sat on the main seat and loudly announced the test questions to the candidates below.

"Round!?" Cheng Yun grinned when he heard the test questions of this imperial examination.

"Yun Wuji, that kid, did a good job. Cheng Yun muttered to himself, but after three breaths, he showed a confused look again.

"Who is it? I can't remember. Cheng Yun showed a puzzled look.

"That's it, that's it. Finish the test questions first. After thinking about it to no avail, Cheng Yun spread out the paper, pressed the paper with a white jade paperweight, and then began to grind the ink.

Cheng Yun picked up the pen and first wrote a big "circle" on the paper, and then next to the round word. A large circle was drawn.

"Well, this round painting is good! The painting is round! The painting is full!" Seeing the circle on the rice paper, Cheng Yun nodded to himself, seemingly very satisfied with his masterpiece.

Cheng Yun touched his head, and he began to think about whether what the examiner said was "edge" or "circle".

"That's it! It's all the same!" Cheng Yun gritted his teeth, and he didn't care about the difference between the two, and began to do the question.

"The circle is flawless" Cheng Yun quickly recorded his thoughts and thoughts on the circle on the paper, while the other scholars raised their pens and frowned, what they learned on weekdays was the content of self-cultivation and governing the country and the world. The reason raised by the examiner today is that they don't know how to write for a while.

"Nonsense!" an invigilator was silent when he saw the other candidates at the cloud table on the road. Cheng Yun was the only one who was like a god, and he couldn't help but walk over and take a few more looks.

When he saw the huge circle drawn on Cheng Yun's test strip, the invigilator was almost stunned by Cheng Yun, he had been invigilating for decades and had never seen a single candidate. I actually misheard the question of the test.

"This time the examination is fate! not round!" At the time of the imperial examination, it was extremely important, although the invigilator was angry, but he did not want to ruin Cheng Yun's future because of this, he reminded Cheng Yun softly.

"Thank you, sir!" Isn't it 'circle'?" Cheng Yun heard the invigilator's reminder, and he also replied softly.

"You are clearly the circle of the sky and the circle of the place, not the fate of fate!" the invigilator's voice was slightly amplified, he was annoyed that Cheng Yun had not yet understood what he meant.

Cheng Yun seemed to suddenly realize that he wrote the word "yuan" on the paper.

"What the adults said, but this fate?!" Cheng Yun raised his head and asked the invigilator.

"It's precisely because of this, it's still early, it's not too late for you to write another article! If you hand in this round article, I'm afraid that you will not only lose your name to Sun Shan, but also become a laughing stock!" The invigilator nodded slightly, and he instructed Cheng Yun to quickly write another article.

"My lord, according to what I saw in the later life, this edge and the circle are the same, and what the late born wrote is no different from what the adult said!" Cheng Yun smiled indifferently and held the paper in his hand high.

"Lord examiner, the late student has completed the test questions!" Cheng Yun stood up and said to the chief examiner with a piece of paper full of words.

When the examiner saw Cheng Yun like this, he didn't say much, and instructed another invigilator to take Cheng Yun's test questions.

"Alas!" The invigilator beside Cheng Yun sighed slightly, he wanted to help Cheng Yun but didn't want Cheng Yun to be unappreciative, so he directly handed in the exam paper.

"Thank you for your support!" Cheng Yun bowed to the invigilator who reminded him loudly as he left

"Only those who are perfect can be called fate, if there is a deficiency in fate, it is like a white bi with slight flaws, and it cannot be called fate. ”

"The circle, the full of fate, the front and back are connected, the end is one after the other, and the square is the circle!"

"For those who are watching, the edge is the circle, and the circle is also the edge!"

"All things have a fate, the cause of the beginning of the cause, the consequence is the end! the cause of the origin, the end of the fate, the beginning and the fall, the front and back of the consummation, the party is the fate of the consummation, so the fate is no different from the round. ”

"Hurry up and find that candidate!" The examiner casually opened Cheng Yun's exam paper, in his opinion, this year's test questions are very strange, and he praised Emperor Shengming in the palace is just perfunctory, he, like this year's candidates, feels that this exam question is very strange.

opened Cheng Yun's examination paper, the examiner was shocked by the content, the candidate's writing, the words are incisive, the edge and the circle are two things that are not connected, under the description of the candidate's article, there is such a wonderful connection. The round big black circle on the exam paper, the examiner originally thought it was a huge failure, but at this time, it seemed like the finishing touch!

"Hurry! It is very likely that he will be the top of this year's list in this life! This official has a few words to ask him!" The examiner's expression was slightly flustered, and he put away his contempt for Cheng Yun. For Cheng Yun who left, he had a vague admiration in his heart, and in all fairness, if he was allowed to take the test, nine times out of ten, he would not be able to write such an article.

Several soldiers in the examination room immediately left the examination room according to the instructions of the examiner, looking around for Cheng Yun's traces, but Cheng Yun had long since disappeared

"Hahaha, I actually disagreed with what he said. Fortunately, I'm smart and able to justify myself, and I make sense of the fate and the circle, otherwise I would definitely be named Sun Shan this time, hahaha, I really admire myself. Cheng Yun smiled slightly, and he walked into a restaurant.

As soon as you enter, you will be greeted by children. introduced him to the restaurant.

"Guest, what do you have to do with you. The fragrance of the small shop is a famous good wine in the capital! Would you like to have a pot?" The shopkeeper diligently led Cheng Yun to the elegant seat on the second floor, he saw that Cheng Yun's clothes were not gorgeous, but they were elegant and exquisite, coupled with Cheng Yun's inadvertent free and easy temperament, the shopkeeper decided that Cheng Yun was the son of a rich family.

"Bring me a pot, though. Use my gourd. Cheng Yun smiled slightly, took out a wine gourd, and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper took the gourd, and he weighed it, this gourd was smaller than the wine pot in the store, and the price of a gourd wine was sold for a pot of wine. Naturally, he was willing.

"Okay, guest officer, wait a minute! I'll come when I go!" The shopkeeper cleaned up the table and quickly went downstairs.

When Cheng Yun took out the wine gourd, somehow, there was always a voice telling him that he would not suffer a loss if he used this gourd to hold wine!

"The second floor just now asked me to use this gourd to fill him with wine, do you see, how much is appropriate for him?"

"Eight achievements are enough! Add some water to him! When he came in, I also saw that a rich kid like him drank not wine, but at this price!"

The shopkeeper took Cheng Yun's wine gourd to the wine cellar, poured the hotel's famous wine into the wine gourd, and when it was poured into sixty percent, the shopkeeper poured white water into it, covered the seal, and shook it several times.

"Wanli Piaoxiang, even if it is mixed with some water, it is also the same fragrance!" The shopkeeper smelled the aroma of wine wafting out of Wanli Piaoxiang, and he opened the wine gourd again.

"Huh, Fang Cai is obviously full, why is it only half of it?" The shopkeeper was surprised to see that the wine gourd that he had just filled with was only half of the wine.

"Could it be that this is a broken gourd?" The shopkeeper picked up the gourd and looked at it carefully for a long time, but this was obviously a good gourd of good quality, not a broken gourd as he thought.

The shopkeeper suppressed the doubts in his heart, and poured some wine into the wine gourd, which was about seventy percent, and he played with it and poured two percent of the water.

"There won't be less this time!" The shopkeeper looked into the gourd and confirmed that it was relieved to fill the gourd.

Just when he was about to seal the mouth of the gourd, the liquor in the gourd quickly decreased, and it returned to the state of fifty percent!

"There are ghosts! There are ghosts!" The shopkeeper threw down the wine gourd in surprise, and quickly found the shopkeeper, the liquid in the gourd slowly flowed out, and what flowed out was water.

"Is this serious?" After the shopkeeper heard what the shopkeeper said, he and the shopkeeper came to the wine cellar and picked up the gourd, and the wine in the gourd had all disappeared at this time.

After the shopkeeper poured ninety percent of the wine into the gourd, he poured some water into it, and after the water entered the gourd, the liquor in the wine gourd decreased rapidly.

"The owner! This must be haunted! I guess he's still an alcoholic!" the shopkeeper looked panicked and said to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was more knowledgeable than the shopkeeper, although he was afraid, but he did not panic, he turned the wine gourd upside down, and from the wine gourd flowed out of the water he had just mixed, and not a drop of wine flowed out.

"Boss, don't try it! Let's go and ask two Taoist priests to exorcise evil spirits, otherwise the haunted news of this shop will spread, and I'm afraid it will be closed!" The shopkeeper kept urging the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper waved his hand and motioned for the shopkeeper to retreat first.

After the shopkeeper left, the shopkeeper poured a lot of wine into it, but this time, he did not mix water, and poured vat after vat of wine into it, all of which were filled with wine gourds, and the shopkeeper did not stop until all the wine vats in the wine cellar were emptied.

"That son! maybe, it is the legendary immortal!" The shopkeeper looked at the strange gourd in his hand, and he hurried up to the second floor.

"Son, the guy in the store is not sensible, I delayed you, and I won't compensate you in the future!" The shopkeeper gave Cheng Yun a salute and respectfully handed the wine gourd to Cheng Yun.

"It's okay! It's okay if the wine is here!" Cheng Yun opened the wine gourd, poured the wine into his mouth, and breathed for dozens of breaths, before putting the wine gourd down.

The shopkeeper glanced at the wine gourd, and he clearly saw that the gourd, which had been empty just now, was filled with wine again, and he was sure of the guess in his heart.

"Childe, a lot, really an immortal in wine!" The shopkeeper showed a flattering look and complimented Cheng Yun again and again.

Cheng Yun smiled slightly, and drank several sips of wine one after another, as if he had really become the immortal of the wine in the thousand cups that the shopkeeper said. (To be continued......)
