Chapter 188.
When the smoke in front of him eventually transformed into a line of text over time, the first thing that appeared was the Holy Spirit Demonic Body’s proficiency.
[Holy Spirit Demon Body lv.7 (Purify +10, Dispel +10, Might +10):1/120000]
Since it had already been qualitatively changed, the current Holy Spirit Demonic Body, did not have any new qualitative changes, it was merely a stacking of attributes.
But in Zhou An’s opinion, this stacking of attributes was indeed a bit fierce.
“So balanced?” Zhou An was slightly stunned.
Most of the previous boosts were one-sided attribute boosts, and even if they were multifaceted, they did not directly boost three attributes like this time.
This time, the three attributes of Purification, Dispersion, and Might were all increased by 2 points.
And a balanced boost represented a more comprehensive power.
Purification was stronger, able to remove more negative effects.
And dispersion was also stronger.
Whether it was good or bad, as long as it was part of a temporary increase in buffs, then the Holy Spirit Demonic Body was able to dispel all of them, and the range was also increased.
As for the power, there was even less to say.
A ten meter tall huge shadow that brought a terrifying bonus, that was a full ten times.
“I’m weirdly strong.” Zhou An was very pushy, especially when he saw these attributes.
Inside his body, the Air Body Villain also saw a huge change.
All of its legs grew out.
Nowadays, the Air Body Villain was complete.
However, it was still not reached from the Innate Realm.
Zhou An closed his eyes and carefully sensed for a moment.
Inside his body, the locations of the air body villain’s limbs and head had each given birth to an endpoint, and all of these endpoints were pointing to the center.
“That is to say, when all the endpoints point to one place, that is when I reach the Innate, this Innate Realm of mine, how is it different from other people’s Innate Realms?” Zhou An pondered in his mind.
Everyone else had reached the Innate Realm immediately after transforming into an air body villain, but there was an extra step on his side.
Zhou An could not figure out the reason for this, and the book given by the Emperor did not mention it either.
It was reasonable to say that the power or lack thereof of the Innate Realm was actually related to the purity of a first-rate expert’s period.
The higher the purity of the air, the stronger the innate realm would be.
The equivalent of the first-class realm was the foundation of the innate realm.
Zhou An’s air purity had reached ten times, and after stepping into the innate, it would reach a terrifying level.
But …… at the moment, it seems that his innate realm is even more eccentric.
“It’s not a big problem, I still have a skill.” Zhou An secretly said.
Since there was an extra step, let’s take it as it comes.
Zhou An didn’t feel uncomfortable because he still had another skill that was about to start qualitatively changing.
It was just time to take advantage of this wave of qualitative transformation to see what changes would occur to the Air Body Villain.
Thinking about this, the smoke in front of Zhou An’s eyes had only just dissipated and once again re-coalesced.
After the smoke coalesced, the text appeared once again.
[Please choose a direction]
[Pen Opens Heaven’s Gate: Qi +4, Speed +4, Figurative +8]
[Read a Thousand Scrolls: Spirit +4, Understanding +4, Bounce +8]
This was the special qualitative change that came with Reading a Hundred Scrolls after reaching level 6.
Looking at these two skills, Zhou An stroked his chin.
The first skill was awesome, at least in name.
Especially the attribute of Figurative, just from the literal meaning, Zhou An could guess quite a bit.
“That is to say, if I choose this skill, I can utilize the pen to materialize a lot of things?” Zhou An thought.
To be honest, it was heartwarming.
But Zhou An still preferred the second one.
It wasn’t that the first one was bad, but the second one was more cost-effective.
After all, the attributes were stackable again, and with the extra rebound attribute, it was really fragrant.
Of course, Zhou An wanted to spit out, what kind of hook eight name was this.
Other people take the name, subguru beast evolution, can evolve into a super subguru beast.
You read a hundred scrolls to evolve, so you take a read a thousand scrolls, is it possible that the ability to make a name is even worse than me, Zhou An?
Of course, groaning aside, Zhou An still chose Read Thousand Scrolls.
When Zhou An finished choosing, the smoke in front of his eyes completely disappeared, turning into lines of information that were transmitted into Zhou An’s mind.
Zhou An closed his eyes and began to absorb the information in his mind.
Only when he had absorbed all the information did he open his eyes.
“Good stuff, I knew it, when Goldfinger produces something, it will be a fine product.” Zhou An thought prettily.
Spirit This attribute needed no introduction, it could resist all kinds of attacks in the spirit.
The attribute of Understanding, could see through the opponent’s brokenness, and attacking the broken places would have a powerful bonus.
The enhancement of these two attributes brought about an even more powerful spiritual defense and bonus ability, which could be said to be the icing on the cake.
As for the ability to rebound, Zhou An could only say God of Gods.
This ability was rather like a feeling of using the other person’s strength to return the favor.
When someone else attacked you, you could return the other person’s attack, in its original form.
As long as it was within the range of rebound +8.
And what’s even more outrageous is that within that range, the rebound back is eight times the bonus.
This is equivalent to what.
To make an analogy, someone else punches over and you return a punch, but with the strength of eight punches.
Now, even if Zhou An didn’t use his sword, as long as someone else attacked him and he used the Read Thousand Scrolls, then the one who was injured would be the enemy instead.
As for why the Reading Thousand Scrolls had the attribute of rebound, it was actually quite understandable.
If you read a hundred times, you will see the meaning.
The rebound of Reading Thousand Scrolls was utilizing this attribute to instantly see through and learn from other people’s abilities, and coupled with the general bonus of being open, it ultimately reached this level.
“Well well well, nowadays, even if I don’t have a knife or pot, or even without a water knife, I can beat the opposite side of the street and call out to my father, the steel-backed beasts up belonging to is.” Zhou An thought.
“Well, then look at the changes in the air body villain.”
After feeling the changes in attributes, then next, was the Air Body Villain.
Zhou An closed his eyes and sank his consciousness into his body.
The next moment, he sensed the changes in the Air Body Villain.
Inside his body, two connecting lines had appeared at the location of the Air Body Villain’s legs, and these two connecting lines, to the location of his chest, connected to a point.
“The power of recovery and the power of the air has taken another qualitative leap.” Zhou An thought after feeling it.
Right now, he still had three skills that weren’t level six, and he estimated that he didn’t need three to reach level six, as long as he had two skills after level six, he would be able to reach the Realm of the Innate.
“Then what skill is next, Liver?” Zhou An stroked his chin.
Before his eyes, the latest proficiency panel appeared.
[Potentate’s Knife Technique lv.6 (Speed +8, Precision +8, Sharpness +8): 1/100000]
[Potentate’s Town Technique lv.6 (Strength +8, Destruction +8, Seal +8): 1/100000]
[Flying Dragon Body Technique lv.6 (Speed +8, Dodge +8, Flight +8): 1/100000]
[Cast Self Body lv. 6 (Hardness +8, Fusion +8, Defense +8): 1/100000]
[Read a Thousand Scrolls lv. 6 (Spirit +8, Understanding +8, Rebound +8): 1/100000]
[Imperial Water lv.5 (Wateriness +4, Water Control +4): 1/80,000]
[Healing Compulsion lv.6 (Healing +8, Toxicity +8, Poison Penetration +8): 3500/100000]
[Eye of Delusion lv.5 (Detection +4, Illusion Breaking +4):1/80,000]
Holy Spirit Magic Body lv.7 (Purify +10, Dispel +10, Might +10):52502/100000]
[Telling Truth lv.5 (Precision +4, Deduction +4):1/60,000]
Looking at the string of skills, Zhou An focused on the Imperial Water and the Eye of Delusion.
As for Trigramming, that could come with a boost, not much of a problem.
“Eye of Delusion Breaker it is.” Zhou An thought.
The skill, Imperial Water, although it could provide a boost in water, it ultimately had some limitations.
And although Eye of Delusion Breaker could not bring more combat anymore, the attributes of Detection and Illusion Breaker could play a decisive role.
Because of this skill, it was able to turn passive into active.
Thinking about this, Zhou An made up his mind to enhance the Eye of Delusion first.
As for the Holy Spirit Demonic Body, Zhou An planned to put it aside for now.
Now that he was getting closer and closer to the Innate Realm, Zhou An planned to raise to the Innate Realm first.
“How do I raise it?” Zhou An pondered in his mind.
The enhancement of the Paranoia Breaking Eye was previously about observing other people, and then it changed to observing the details of various people.
Now in this situation, Zhou An estimated that observing details and demeanor was no longer enough.
Zhou An walked back and forth, thinking about how to enhance it.
Beside him, Black Jade’s eyes lit up slightly as she watched Zhou An.
She quietly came behind Zhou An, even throwing her chair to the side, and followed Zhou An’s example, walking in step with him.
This appearance, like a follower.
Nowadays, Black Jade was really smart as hell, wanting to learn everything and loving everything.
Zhou An naturally sensed what Black Jade was doing and glanced back.
He was already used to it, this woman with a sense of forbiddenness was always up to something new.
Since he was thinking about the Breaking Eye, Zhou An subconsciously utilized the Breaking Eye and glanced at Black Jade.
As a result, it was this glance that froze Zhou An.
[Eye of Delusion Breaking +1]
Good Guy!
Zhou An straight away called out Good Guy.
Just now, he had just used his Delusion Breaking Eye to observe the Black Jade, and it had gone up?
This skill was used for detection and counter-detection, but he didn’t expect that he would actually pull the wool over the black jade again.
As it turned out, it was actually right.
The origin of the black jade was too big, and it was actually quite normal for some special skills to be raised from the black jade.
“You’ve really become a walking experience bag.” Zhou An thought.
He could liver the Holy Spirit Demonic Body here in the Black Jade, fortune-telling could be counted in addition to himself and also the Black Jade, and now he had added a Delusion Breaking Eye.
The Black Jade now could provide Zhou An with experience in three skills.
“It’s even fiercer than Yuan Qingyi’s Dryad state.” Zhou An thought.
Of course, he quickly put these thoughts aside and stared at Black Jade with glowing eyes.
Black Jade was stared at by Zhou An and suddenly took two steps back, then clutched her chest and looked at Zhou An with a grudging gaze as she pitifully said.
“Brother don’t, sister is still small.”
Zhou An sniffed, his head full of black lines.
This guy, he was starting to learn again.
One day, he took Black Jade shopping, accidentally passing by the Department of Education, Black Jade listened to an ear.
As a result, this guy, Black Jade, would come up with one or two tiger and wolf words from time to time.
“Cut the crap, today you’re going to have to follow even if you don’t.” Zhou An gritted his teeth.
Black Jade’s face was full of confusion, his brain worked fast, and he quickly caught it, “Brother lighten up.”
Zhou An: “……”
Fortunately, Zhou An’s spirit, now at +8, barely resisted the scenario.
A woman of forbidden beauty saying such words, it was really hard to top.
“Cut the crap, hit me first.” Zhou An said.
He didn’t rush the Liver Breaking Eye, instead, he planned to try the rebound ability of the Thousand Scrolls to see where the limit was.
Black Jade was strong enough that Zhou An felt able to conduct the test.
Black Jade was blinded again and then began to think about the conversation in her head.
Soon, she caught it again!
Black Jade used Bagua to simulate a long whip and threw it hard, “Brother sit still, sister is coming.”
This look, in Zhou An’s opinion, was short of a pair of red-soled high heels.
The corners of Zhou An’s mouth twitched as he said, “If you keep messing up and learning, I won’t take you out to play.”
Once these words came out, Black Jade immediately became good.
This was her lifeblood, held to death by Zhou An.
Black Jade obediently stomped her feet.
Soon, underneath Black Jade’s feet, a pale white eight trigrams appeared.
Black Jade looked at Zhou An with a curious gaze, meaning how strong it was going to be.
Zhou An stroked his chin and said, “Maximum strength, wait, can’t do it here.”
Saying that, he took Black Jade’s hand and came to the courtyard, directly performing the Flying Dragon Body Technique, transforming into a stream of light and rushing up to the sky.
This place was still within the boundaries of the Maple Forest Prefecture, so it wouldn’t be good if something big happened.
Going all the way out from Maple Forest State, Zhou An brought Black Jade and arrived at a wilderness.
Only just as he stood, Zhou An spoke.
“Go all out.”
There was no one here, so it was naturally possible to test it.
Black Jade nodded, and the pale white Eight Trigrams appeared once again.
She listened to Zhou An very well and did whatever Zhou An said.
Although she was sometimes very skinny, she never dropped the ball when it came to business.
When the pale white bagua appeared, Black Jade struck.
The pale white eight trigrams enveloped Zhou An.
This was the first time Zhou An had come into contact with Tong Tian Arithmetic.
Although he had seen Black Jade use it before, it was ultimately not directed at him.
When he felt it intuitively this time, Zhou An realized that Tong Tian Arithmetic was really too amazing.
Zhou An could feel that when he was in the Eight Trigrams, every step seemed to be calculated by Black Jade.
Especially since Zhou An possessed the skill of fortune telling, he was able to feel that mysterious touch.
Zhou An subconsciously moved.
Then, everything in the Eight Trigrams changed.
Everything around him began to become oppressive with a terrifying rhythm.
Zhou An felt as if he had become an enemy in the bagua.
In this piece of bagua, it was as if Zhou An was the enemy of the world.
“So strong, Black Jade.” Zhou An thought.
Thinking about it, Zhou An ran the air in his body and cast the skill of Reading a Thousand Scrolls.
The first thing that appeared was the brokenness of the Black Jade’s body, and immediately after, an extremely mysterious feeling appeared in Zhou An’s mind.
This feeling was as if Black Jade’s eight trigrams were gradually becoming clearer in his own eyes.
Zhou An stretched out his hand, and the air in his body ran wildly.
The next moment, the eight trigrams changed.
The feeling of being the enemy of the world disappeared, and in its place, Zhou An became the master of the bagua.
The one who was the enemy of the world became Black Jade.
Black Jade was filled with confusion, as if he couldn’t figure out why this was happening.
Zhou An naturally did not attack and directly dispersed the Eight Trigrams.
He now, had a general understanding of his Thousand Scrolls of Reading.
Black Jade’s strength was probably around the peak of Innate.
When he ran his Thousand Reading Scrolls, he would be able to laugh off even the attacks from the peak of the Innate.
It was estimated that even if it was the Tongling Realm, it would be able to bounce back quite a bit.
This kind of strength was already beyond Zhou An’s expectations.
As for Black Jade’s strength, Zhou An actually knew that it could not be measured in terms of an ordinary Peak Innate.
This was because Black Jade would also know four of the Eight Absolute Techniques in addition to the Tongtian Arithmetic.
Of course, Zhou An was using it for testing this time and didn’t let Black Jade continue to perform it.
He now had to seize the time to continue the liver proficiency.
Enhancing his strength was the top priority.
Thinking about this, Zhou An grabbed Black Jade’s hand and once again flew towards the Maple Forest State.
—————–
It didn’t take much time to return home from the wilderness, and when Zhou An returned, he took Black Jade out in order to reward him.
In the morning, it was the time for breakfast.
The streets today, compared to the usual, were a little different.
In the previous Maple Forest State, although it was bustling, that hustle and bustle was mostly with a bit of life.
Let’s say the vendors’ shouting, the rising and falling bargains, the hurried passersby, and the flamboyant craftsmen in the green house next door.
All of them revealed the hustle and bustle of Maplewood State.
But today is different.
Every house, decorated with lights and colors.
Red-colored lanterns hung high, a feeling of fire and bustle.
Even the vendors hawking on both sides of the street had a hot and bustling feeling, with a different kind of joy on their faces.
During this recent period of time, Zhou An rarely went out as he had been indulging in Liver Proficiency.
Even when he did go out, it was always to eat something random.
Today’s trip, on the contrary, gave Zhou An a refreshing feeling.
“It’s so lively ……,” Zhou An lamented when he saw this scene.
Next to him, Black Jade was full of excitement, looking around.
She hadn’t been out shopping for a long time, and now that the streets had changed drastically, it also aroused her curiosity.
A blank sheet of paper-like person was naturally curious.
Black Jade cast her gaze on Zhou An with a curious inquisitive undertone.
Without Black Jade speaking, Zhou An knew exactly what Black Jade meant.
Usually when Black Jade encountered a problem that he could not solve, he would come over and ask Zhou An.
Zhou An smiled, stroked Black Jade’s head, pointed to a home with lights and colors, and said, “It’s the New Year.”
“What is the New Year ……?” Black Jade asked in confusion.
Zhou An retracted his hand, looked at the bustle around him, and lamented, “New Year’s Eve is the most important day of the year, a big festival that combines getting rid of the old and bringing in the new, worshipping the gods and ancestors, praying for blessings to ward off evil spirits, and reunion of family and friends.”
Speaking of which, so much time had passed since he came to this world.
Zhou An couldn’t help but lament that this thing called time was really like running water, passing away without even a deliberate reminder.
After hearing this, Black Jade nodded her head as if she understood.
She tilted her face full of forbidden beauty, looked at the emotion in Zhou An’s eyes, had an idea in her heart, opened her mouth, and asked, “Zhou An …… want to celebrate the New Year?”
Zhou An froze slightly and turned his head to look at Black Jade in surprise.
He was truly surprised that Black Jade would suddenly say this sentence.
“Then does Black Jade want to celebrate the New Year?” Zhou An laughed.
Black Jade placed her finger at her white chin as if she was thinking.
After a while, Black Jade’s small eyes became determined.
“Black Jade …… spends New Year’s Eve with Zhou An!”
Seeing this, Zhou An laughed, stroked Black Jade’s head, looked at the surrounding bustle and laughed, “Good, take a break and have a good New Year.”
After saying that, Zhou An didn’t rush back and took Black Jade to stroll around the streets.
The day before the New Year was called New Year’s Eve.
This was similar in the Great Chu Kingdom.
There were many customs for the New Year in the Da Chu Kingdom, such as lion dances, floating colors, dragon dances, god tours, and temple fairs.
There were also flower streets, lanterns, gongs and drums, standard flags, fireworks, prayers, and guandan spring.
Of course, in Zhou An’s opinion, these were the lively events on the streets.
The real bustle was at home.
Putting up New Year’s reds, observing the New Year’s Eve, and eating New Year’s dinner.
This was what Zhou An wanted to do.
As for stringing together New Year’s greetings.
To be honest, even in Zhou An’s previous life, he had never done it.
Fatherless and motherless, and with no relatives, he brought with him the aura of a traveler.
Every New Year’s Eve, he was all by himself watching the Spring Festival Gala.
Of course, coming here was different.
At least now, there was Black Jade to accompany himself through.
Zhou An held Black Jade and began to stroll through the streets.
Having bought chickens, ducks, fish and meat, he planned to organize a good meal.
Of course, Zhou An also bought Spring Festival couplets and other things to go back and post them at home.
Shopping along the way.
The people on this street also recognized Zhou An, after all, Zhou An often came to the street to eat and was not cheap.
In the midst of a happy new year wish, Black Jade also arched her hand in a similar manner.
By the time Zhou An brought Black Jade home, Black Jade was holding Zhou An with one hand and holding a sugar gourd in the other, licking it gently like a kitten.
“Alright, stop eating and help me see if the spring couplets are crooked.”
After Zhou An put the things away, he pulled Black Jade to the door.
He was ready to put up the Spring Festival couplets.
Why don’t we just say that the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce knows what it’s doing?
The mansion was big and the location was clean, and there weren’t many people around.
Zhou An stepped on the stool and slowly moved the spring scrolls, while asking Black Jade if they were crooked.
The black jade licked the sugar gourd, eyes swaying left and right, hmmm ah ah answer.
When Zhou An finished posting down to take a look, almost didn’t gasp.
The Spring Festival couplets were pasted askew, and it was obvious that Black Jade’s command was out of order.
Black Jade, who was licking the sugar gourd, was swept by Zhou An’s gaze and couldn’t help but shrink his neck in a pitiful manner.
“You post it!” Zhou An threw the spring scroll over.
Black Jade received it in her hands and looked at it curiously.
With the new gadgets, the sugar gourds didn’t smell good anymore, and Black Jade even planned to directly stuff Zhou An’s mouth.
Fortunately, Zhou An reacted quickly and caught it with his hand.
Next, the operation was carried out by Black Jade, who was also very serious about sticking it on.
Although it was still a bit crooked, this spring scroll was barely acceptable.
After posting the spring scroll, Zhou An started washing the dishes.
Since it was going to be New Year’s Eve, he was also prepared to indulge for a while today.
Black Jade naturally did not have any spare time and was pulled into the kitchen by Zhou An.
“Washing vegetables, understand?” Zhou An asked.
Black Jade secretly retreated a step back and shook her head, “I …… stupid.”
Zhou An: “……”
Sure enough, after being brushed by the Holy Spirit Demon Body for so long, this guy was getting more and more refined.
“Wash as much as you can and eat as much as you can.” Zhou An said, “You can’t eat without washing.”
Just kidding, the New Year’s Eve should be busy for everyone to have a sense of atmosphere and participation.
As soon as Black Jade heard this, her eyes rolled slightly and she came to the kitchen side and followed Zhou An’s example and started washing the vegetables.
Next, everything went much smoother.
When the two were done with their work, the time had already come to the afternoon.
At noon, the two even had a bowl of Zhou An’s own cooked noodles.
“Prepare to fire.” Zhou An held a shovel in his hand, stopping Black Jade’s move to throw the firecrackers at the stove in the process.
He was ready to finish cooking, and still had all the chicken, duck, fish and meat.
Black Jade was stopped by Zhou An and could only pinch the firecracker with a bereaved look.
“That thing is set off at night, firecrackers get rid of the old year, know it?” Zhou An knocked on Black Jade’s head.
Black Jade held his head, with a look of understanding.
“Alright, cook and eat first.” Zhou An said.
Black Jade could only let out an oh and obediently stood aside.
Next, Zhou An smoothly made a table of dishes.
When he led Black Jade and sat on the table, Black Jade looked at the table full of dishes and looked at Zhou An again.
Zhou An bought a jar of wine and poured a glass for Black Jade.
Black Jade picked up the glass, took a shallow taste, and her eyes lit up.
“Come on, raise your glass.” Zhou An continued to teach.
Blackie watched Zhou An’s movements and lifted the wine glass in a model fashion, clinking it with Zhou An.
Zhou An smiled and said, “In fact, you and I are considered to be on the way, you …… forget it, don’t say it, it’s all in the wine!”
He originally wanted to say something in response, but now it seems that the black jade does not necessarily understand, so it is better to directly drink it all in one gulp.
The black jade looked at Zhou An and suddenly spoke in a small voice, “Happy New …… Year!”
Zhou An froze, then reacted and also said, “Happy New Year.”
This was one of the few times after Zhou An came here that he had an extremely comfortable meal.
Previously, when he had eaten with Yu Hang and Ye Frost, he had had this feeling, and now he added a Black Jade.
Other than that, it would be impossible to find a few comfortable meals.
This eating, ate for almost an hour.
After eating, Zhou An brought Black Jade along to wash the dishes.
Black Jade was originally unwilling, but she couldn’t run away from Zhou An’s grip, so she could only wash the dishes with a mournful face.
After doing everything.
The two began to observe the New Year’s Eve.
Since there weren’t many entertainment facilities in Da Chu Kingdom, Zhou An used another way to pass the time.
–Teaching Black Jade.
This was a daily routine in the past, but now it was used in a different way.
Black Jade also enjoyed the process of being taught.
Of course, there were some things that went wrong during the process.
For example, ……
“I’ve said it all, don’t ask me what a minotaur must die, that’s me talking nonsense, understand?”
“Minotaur ……”
“Shut up!”
“Oh …… and Pure Love Warrior ……”
“I don’t know anything!”
Time passed quickly in a sea of teaching.
Zhou An and Black Jade stood in the courtyard.
Black Jade held an incense in her hand and came to the firecrackers with an excited face.
She had been waiting for a long time.
Zhou An had not allowed her to play on the stovetop just now, so now was her chance.
Zhou An couldn’t help but laugh out loud as he looked at the tiptoeing Black Jade.
With the sparks on the incense touching the fuse, the firecrackers crackled.
New Year s Eve …… passed.
This night, Zhou An had a very comfortable life, if Black Jade didn’t run over to mess up when he was lying in bed.
The entire night passed very quickly.
When the next morning came, Zhou An was disturbed by a knock on the door.
With his current realm, how could he not know who the person coming was.
It was just that Zhou An did not expect that the people who came were so united.
“Alright, get up!” Zhou An looked at the Black Jade beside him, hugging his arm, and moved his arm.
Black Jade opened her big bright eyes and got up on her own, standing aside obediently.
Only then did Zhou An bring Black Jade, to the outside of the courtyard and opened the door.
Outside the door, the people were indeed very full.
Lu Zhou Ling, Hou Si Zhou, Meng Jiang of the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, and a few of his subordinates from the Craftsmanship Supervisor.
These people are carrying a lot of gifts in their hands.
New Year’s Eve, naturally, there is no shortage of door to door New Year’s Eve.
Looking at this situation, these are the ones who came over to pay their respects and happened to meet.
“Lord Zhou, Happy New Year!”
“Lord Zhou, good luck!”
“Lord Zhou, all the best and prosperity!”
The New Year’s blessings came as expected.
Zhou An smiled and arched his hand, “Happy New Year everyone, please come in!”
The visitor is a guest, how could there be a reason to leave the door open?
Waiting for the state and other people are also smilingly walked in.
New Year’s Eve, is to hike a celebration, even the usually unsmiling Lu Zhou Ling, is also a smile on his face.
Zhou An received some.
Not long after, Meng Jiang and a few people from the Crafts Supervisor left.
They came to visit Zhou An here first, and there were a few more to go after the visit.
As for the Lu State Order and Hou Si Zhou, that was not necessary.
Because in Fenglin Prefecture, one couldn’t find any officials bigger than them.
Historically, only other people visited them.
Except for this year which was an exception because Zhou An came.
“Lord Zhou, shortly after the New Year, it will be His Majesty’s birthday, when Lord Zhou sees His Majesty then, please put in a good word for me.” Hou Sizhou joked.
On a birthday like this, many meritorious officials would go, especially those with outstanding achievements.
Including places like the Zhen Gui Si and the Yamen, there were also quite a few people who rushed there.
As for Zhou An, that was definitely the nail in the coffin, and Hou Si Zhou naturally understood that.
Lu Zhou Ling was not as pedantic as the others, and although he was a pretty serious person, there were no outsiders right now, saying similar things to Wait Si Zhou.
Although the two of them weren’t people with high expectations, but having sat in this position, it was natural that there was also a threshold.
In Maplewood Prefecture, it was only Zhou An who was worthy of them talking like this.
“Definitely definitely, and it’s possible that the two of you will be going as well.” Zhou An politely said.
The Lu State Order and Hou Si Zhou looked at each other and shook their heads.
“With all the things that have happened lately, it was all Lord Zhou who helped out, we shouldn’t have much of a chance, but it’s good that way, that kind of fame and fortune in the capital is not suitable for the two of us either.”
“What is the explanation for this?” Zhou An asked.
“Isn’t this the recent establishment of the Crown Prince, so going there will definitely inevitably lead to a lot of trouble, Lord Zhou should be more careful.” Hou Sizhou said.
Zhou An heard and understood.
In fact, the Third Prince had also said that.
He didn’t care, this trip, if he really wanted to go to the capital, he just happened to be able to meet Eunuch Wei, after all, Eunuch Wei was sort of covering him by name.
If Yu Hang would also go, then he could also have a reunion with his good brother.
Compared to the others who treated it solemnly, Zhou An instead treated it as a trip.
The few people chatted for a while longer.
Hou Sizhou clasped his fists and said, “Lord Zhou, we had a good chat today, but I have important matters to attend to, so I can’t stay long.”
Zhou An asked curiously, “What business does Lord Hou have that he can’t even have a clean year?”
At the moment, there were not so many matters, and Zhou An felt that Hou Sizhou could also be a little cleaner.
Hou Si Zhou sniffed, sighed, helplessly said, “Doing our line of work, and where is the clean time, it looks like the New Year is hot and lively, in fact, ah, the New Year is also the most likely to breed weirdness , e.g. …… year.”
