How did a street urchin from the film crew end up in a Northern Song Dynasty drama called "The

"Really? Then I have no connection with the Sheng family! Could it be that it's my... Impossible, how could that be?" Jin Shuai began to coax.

“Handsome young man… could it be that this is your destiny, and that’s why there’s some kind of guidance in the dark?” Lord Liu stroked his chin, ponderingly speculating.

Jin Shuai thought to himself, "Hmm, this guy is interesting. He's quite good at reading people's minds. He certainly has the potential to be a high-ranking official. He deserves a thumbs up." On the surface, however, he remained calm, smiled slightly, and replied, "Lord Liu, you mustn't say such things carelessly, lest you tarnish the reputation of the Sheng family's daughter. Besides, I am still young and not yet at the age to discuss marriage. This matter is absolutely unacceptable! Magistrate Sheng, please just consider this a casual chat and don't take it to heart!" As he spoke, Jin Shuai deliberately emphasized his tone, trying to make the other party understand his firm attitude.

At this moment, Sheng Hong, who had been silent all along, finally broke the deadlock and said with a smile, "Hehe, no problem, no problem. In that case, how about we go to the main hall together for tea?" Everyone nodded in agreement.

However, at that moment, Jin Shuai suddenly felt an urgent need to urinate, so he hurriedly asked Sheng Hong, "Lord Sheng, is there a place to relieve myself here? I have some urgent business to attend to." Upon hearing this, Sheng Hong looked puzzled and asked, "What is a toilet?" Jin Shuai couldn't help but chuckle inwardly, thankfully he had watched quite a few period dramas and was somewhat familiar with these ancient terms. He quickly explained, "It's that... uh, a place where you can relieve yourself." Sheng Hong suddenly understood and immediately instructed the servant beside him, "Quickly take the handsome young man to the outhouse."

Jin Shuai followed the servant to the so-called "toilet." Upon closer inspection, he found it quite similar to a modern rural outhouse, which was somewhat acceptable. However, he couldn't understand why there was a long bamboo strip placed next to it. What was it for? Filled with questions, Jin Shuai quickly relieved himself and left this place that had intrigued him.

In the spacious and bright main hall of the Sheng family, Prefect Liu and Sheng Hong sat facing each other. Prefect Liu broke the silence first. He stared intently at Sheng Hong and slowly asked, "Lord Sheng, do you know why I said those things?" His voice was deep and powerful, with a hint of something unfathomable.

Sheng Hong frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then replied, "This humble official truly does not know. Please enlighten me, Lord Liu." His tone was sincere, and his eyes revealed a strong desire for an answer.

Prefect Liu sighed softly and then said, "Do you believe the story of that handsome young man being appeared in a dream by an immortal?" His gaze was sharp as an eagle's, as if he wanted to see through Sheng Hong's true thoughts.

Sheng Hong hesitated for a moment before replying, "I am also skeptical about this matter. After all, such a thing is hard to believe, but we cannot completely rule out its possibility." His expression was somewhat conflicted, clearly indicating that he was also quite perplexed by this issue.

Prefect Liu shook his head helplessly, sighed, and said, "I originally thought this might be a great opportunity and a great fortune for the Sheng family, but it seems I was overthinking it. Oh well, I won't mention this matter again." After saying that, he picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Seeing this, Sheng Hong's heart tightened, and he quickly said, "Lord Liu, I am very busy today and have not been able to think things through. I hope that you will not hesitate to give me your guidance. If you can give me some pointers, I will be extremely grateful!" His attitude became more and more respectful, and his eyes were full of expectation.
