With Song Chongjin's approval, He Changshou felt honored and quickly gestured for Song Chongjin to move his noble feet and proceed to the alley entrance.
As soon as he stepped out of the alley, Song Chongjin realized that the street outside had long been paved with yellow soil, sprinkled with water, and was exceptionally clean and tidy.
Both sides of the road were lined with people, and in the middle of the road, there was a small team with red silk sashes around their waists, beating gongs and drums. Behind them was a sedan chair also adorned with red silk, with eight brawny sedan chair carriers standing by.
Not far away, there were several energetic shop assistants holding high bamboo poles with long strings of firecrackers attached to them.
As soon as Song Chongjin appeared, it was like pouring a ladle of cold water into a pot of oil, causing an uproar.
In an instant, firecrackers rang out, and gongs and drums resounded.
