Jiujiang Group, shaking his head and looking at the three ancient characters written in ancient seal script, Zhang Mingtu let out a breath lightly, and his eyes couldn't help but look towards a small island not far from the river, or to be more precise, a group of small islands.
Rui Hai, who was also on the splint, saw the three ancient seal characters and a look of joy appeared on his face.
After a day and night of trekking, they arrived at their destination.
After years of wasting time, he can finally show his talents in Jiujiang County and realize his life ambitions.
Ruihai is quite looking forward to this core place in Jiangnan West Road.
When we got closer, we saw a group of officials standing at the gate, all dressed in flowers. A group of yamen runners stood on both sides of the road, some beating gongs and drums, while others were holding ceremonial instruments for the welcome and cheering.
When we got closer, we could see that there were no scattered small vendors on both sides of the road. Considering a commercial center like Jiujiang County, it seemed a bit desolate.
Next to the main road, the area that is not paved with bluestone slabs also looks quite neat, as if it is paved with pieces of yellow wooden boards. When you look closely, you will find that they are not wooden boards, but a thin layer of yellow soil.
The whole team looked standardized, orderly and lively.
Zhang Mingtu was in good condition. When Ruihai saw this scene, his face looked a little bad, but he still maintained his usual calmness.
After all, it was not his first day in the officialdom, and he had come into contact with a lot of things involving welcoming and seeing off guests. Although he did not do it much, he still understood the procedures and rules involved.
As for the back, Zhang Mingtu's mouth twitched as he saw a group of landlords holding umbrellas and cheering for him.
This is a fixed procedure in all places. Every time a senior official takes office, the various welcome ceremonies need to be lively to express the joy.
Then, during the grand wedding banquet that followed, they discussed some issues related to the distribution of interests.
Zhang Mingtu had not experienced these things, but his future brother was knowledgeable and understood these things quite well, and could even be said to be familiar with them.
Ruihai sighed and walked to the front. The leading officials and landlords took the initiative to step forward and wanted to have an intimate conversation with the newly appointed "honest official", but Rui directly ordered to cancel the relevant activities.
Originally, Ruihai should not be the one to deal with such matters. It should be handled by his personal servants or subordinates. But there is no way, Ruihai still does not have many people around him.
There were still many things for him to do, and no matter what these people would do in the future, they were still dressed up to welcome him, and they were still polite in terms of etiquette.
To reject these, Ruihai has to step forward.
Zhang Mingtu was just a nobody among the accompanying personnel.
Even in a strict sense, he is not a clear-cut accompanying person, and cannot even be an accompanying person.
After all, he still has a position in the Jinyiwei. The most basic rule of the Jinyiwei is that they are directly responsible to the imperial power and cannot have too close contacts with relevant officials at the local level.
However, after more than 800 years since the founding of the country, the relevant systems and regulations have long since collapsed and are no longer as rigorous and strict as they were at the beginning.
The wealthy and powerful families have placed a large number of people in the Jinyiwei, so the relevant regulations are no longer as strict as they were at the beginning.
However, being the General Flag of the Embroidered Uniform Guard was not a very important position, and no one paid attention to him among the general public.
Zhang Mingtu was happy and relaxed, walking around among the crowd.
If you accidentally find a strange man in yellow clothes not far away, the man will be wearing a yellow dress made of scraps of paper with red patterns on it.
At first glance, Zhang Mingtu thought it was a thousand-year-old zombie that had broken through the seal and escaped.
After a closer look, it was discovered that it was not a thousand-year-old zombie, but a person whose entire body, from feet to neck, even head, was covered with various runes, and Zhang Mingtu was no stranger to this person.
"Xue Cheng?"
Zhang Mingtu was stunned for a moment before he figured out who that person was. For a moment, he felt extremely ridiculous.
Xue Chengding was in that area, and his overall condition was not very good. His face looked a little timid, but the bright sky around him gave him a lot of comfort, making him more calm and composed.
Evil spirits are often strange and terrifying, and are extremely scary for people of lower realms.
But in broad daylight, when the sun is shining brightly, evil spirits will be much more restrained and will not be too rampant.
"Is this because the evil spirit has tortured him so badly?"
Xue Cheng's overall outfit was weird to the extreme. Not only was his entire body covered with various Taoist and Buddhist talismans, but his hair was also pinned with a jade-colored hairpin.
The hairpin has a very distinctive Taoist style, with a faint glow flowing inside. It should be engraved with runes such as talismans to ward off evil spirits.
She wore a string of Buddhist beads on her left hand, and each bead was lustrous and shiny, obviously having been blessed by a Buddhist master.
The pendants around her waist are even more outrageous. The two pendants are strung together. The one on the left is a jade plate engraved with the Heart Sutra of Buddhism, and the one on the right is a small jade gourd with a very Taoist style. There are also dense Taoist scriptures engraved on the top of the gourd.
Zhang Mingtu was not unfamiliar with this. It should be the Sutra of the Original Heavenly Venerable Saving Humans.
Judging from the pendant hanging on the chest and the bulge in the clothes, it is obvious that there are more preparations than these. Zhang Mingtu saw it and exclaimed in his heart, "Wow!"
It combines Buddhism and Taoism, oh, and also Confucianism.
When Zhang Mingtu took a closer look, he discovered that there were words on the inside of the Feiyu suit worn by the Jinyiwei. It had a gentle literary and righteous aura flowing through it. It must have been specially written by a great Confucian scholar to drive away ghosts.
