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

Before long, thirty people emerged from the left, while only sixteen remained on the right. Jin Shuai instructed his steward to buy all sixteen people with death contracts and take them away. He then carefully selected four more from among those with living contracts, bringing the total to twenty. The craftsmen with death contracts were valued at fifty strings of cash, while those with living contracts had to sign a three-year contract worth twenty strings of cash.

Immediately afterward, the broker led Jin Shuai to another courtyard. This courtyard was entirely filled with women of varying ages, ranging from toddlers to women of marriageable age. Upon arriving at the courtyard, Jin Shuai addressed the crowd loudly, "I urgently need musicians. If anyone is skilled in this art, please step forward." Only one person responded. Seeing this, Jin Shuai couldn't help but feel suspicious. The broker quickly stepped forward to explain, "Sir, you are unaware that musicians are always in high demand and are usually snapped up by brothels and entertainment venues. This young lady is a newcomer who arrived just yesterday." Jin Shuai nodded slightly, his gaze falling on the woman. She appeared to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a rather thin build. It was said that this female musician held a contract of indenture, valued at a staggering one hundred strings of cash. Upon hearing this, the steward's face darkened with anger, and he retorted indignantly, "Are you trying to rob me? Do you think my young master is so young that he can be bullied?" The broker, upon hearing this, hurriedly smiled apologetically and said, "Please calm down, sir. It's just that the price was set by her, and I have no way to change it."

"Hehe, how interesting! Go, summon her." Jin Shuai's lips curled into a slightly amused smile as he softly gave the order.

The broker quickly agreed, then turned and hurried away, returning shortly with the little girl. He then discreetly retreated to a distance, as if afraid of disturbing the two. Seeing this, Jin Shuai secretly praised the broker for his keen observation skills.

Jin Shuai's gentle gaze fell on the little girl, and he asked slowly, "What is your name? And why do you ask for so much money?"

The young girl lowered her head, her hands tightly gripping the hem of her clothes, appearing somewhat uneasy. After a moment, she stammered, "This...this servant girl, my name is Wan'er, um...um..." However, she seemed to hesitate as she spoke, becoming stammering, clearly unwilling to easily reveal the truth.

Seeing this, Jin Shuai smiled slightly and coaxed, "If you tell the truth, I will buy you. How about it?"

Upon hearing this, Wan'er was slightly taken aback, then fell into deep thought. After hesitating for a long time, she finally mustered up her courage and said, "Wan'er is selling herself to save her mistress. The mistress is sick and needs a lot of money." Although her voice was soft, her words were full of firmness and determination.

"Alright! Since you've said so, I'll naturally keep my word and buy it! Butler Jin, pay up quickly." Jin Shuai waved his hand without hesitation, decisively issuing the order. At this moment, Butler Jin and the broker walked up to Jin Shuai's side, both wearing obsequious smiles. The broker respectfully said, "Young master, this transaction totals eight hundred and eighty strings of cash. However, it would be best if you privately completed the transfer of one hundred strings with this young lady, otherwise the brokerage will take a considerable cut."
