However, before Jin Shuai could finish speaking, Sheng Hong quickly interjected, "Handsome young man... wait a moment. I have already instructed my servants to prepare a sumptuous feast. Why not have a meal first before taking a stroll? Wouldn't that be more pleasant?" Seeing this, Prefect Liu chimed in, "Yes, handsome young man... you should stay for now." Faced with their enthusiastic invitation, Jin Shuai pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Since you two are so kind to invite me, I will not refuse. I will gladly accept your invitation."
So the three of them moved together to the dining hall of the Sheng residence. But upon entering, Sheng Hong and Prefect Liu found themselves in a brief awkward silence over the seating arrangement. Just as they hesitated, Commander Jin smiled again and said gently, "Today, let's sit according to seniority. What do you two think?" Hearing this, Sheng Hong and Prefect Liu exchanged a smile and replied in unison, "That would be excellent!"
After speaking, Jin Shuai sat down at the lower end of the table. Sheng Hong and Prefect Liu exchanged a glance and then took their seats. After Sheng Hong finished speaking, the meal began. Jin Shuai looked at the table full of ancient dishes: roasted mutton, braised pork knuckle, stir-fried clams, stir-fried rabbit, stir-fried crab, and some fruits and candied fruits. Jin Shuai thought to himself, "The food is so-so; the oil used for stir-frying is probably wrong. The wine is even more so, just like the yellow wine of later generations." After eating for a while, Jin Shuai was full. At this moment, Sheng Hong spoke up, "Handsome young man... are you here in Yangzhou for sightseeing?"
"I guess so. We were originally going to Tokyo, and I just thought I'd do some sightseeing along the way," Jin Shuai replied with a smile.
"Handsome young man...please stay a few more days, I'd like to extend my hospitality as your host," Prefect Liu asked.
Jin Shuai shook his head and said, "I fell into the water and got sick the day before yesterday. I just came out today to get some fresh air and take a stroll. I'm heading to Tokyo tomorrow. Lord Liu is very busy with official duties, how could he possibly play with a child like me? I'm sorry to bother you." Jin Shuai replied with a smile.
"Since the handsome young man is setting off tomorrow, I won't delay your journey any longer," said Lord Liu.
"Handsome young man...you are quick-witted, may I ask who your teacher is?" Sheng Hong asked.
"I have no master, to be honest, I was bedridden and delirious. I felt lightheaded and ended up in a peach orchard. I saw an old man with a white beard. The old man was right in front of me in the blink of an eye. I tried to run away but couldn't move. Then the old man reached out and stroked my head, saying, 'An immortal strokes my head, a sudden burst of energy awakens the spirit.' Then with a wave of his hand, I woke up. Then I realized I'd been lying there for three days. You two are very learned, can you explain what those two sentences mean?'" Jin Shuai asked, suppressing a laugh. He thought to himself, "I need to fool you first, otherwise it'll be hard to explain any strange things later! That's how I'll have to say it from now on."
After hearing Jin Shuai's words, the two felt a tingling sensation all over their bodies. Sheng Hong said, "Handsome guy... you've met an old immortal! An immortal brushed his hand over your head, and with a swift movement, he gently awakened your intelligence."
"I feel the same way. This is a handsome young man's destiny... We are too ignorant to explain it. The handsome young man should go back and ask Lord Jin or some other high-ranking official." Lord Liu said solemnly.
“Yes, yes, I was only interpreting it literally. The handsome young man's destiny with the immortals should be clarified by Lord Jin. We cannot presume to guess the immortals' intentions,” Sheng Hong said with a serious expression.
"That's true, I don't really understand either. Actually, before coming to the Sheng family today, I was planning to go back. I walked quite a distance, and then a voice from the depths of my being told me to come to the Sheng family, and then this happened. Sigh! I don't understand. Shouldn't the Sheng family have this marriage?" Jin Shuai shook his head and sighed.
"That must be it. There's a Taoist priest in my hometown who often says that there's a divine will at work. This handsome young man must have been guided by an immortal," said Lord Liu, stroking his beard.
