As he approached, Jin Shuai stopped when he was about twenty paces from the pavilion. At that moment, the middle-aged man also turned his gaze to Jin Shuai and called out, "Brother Xi... come here quickly, let this old man take a good look at you." In that instant, Jin Shuai clearly felt the deep affection and concern in the other man's eyes, like the endless longing of a loved one.
Faced with this situation, Jin Shuai coughed lightly, then smiled and replied, "Ahem... Grandfather, please stay where you are. I had some contact with an infectious patient today, and if I were to approach rashly, I might be at risk of infection! So, let's keep a certain distance between us while we talk!" As soon as he finished speaking, a look of worry appeared on the old man's face, but he quickly regained his composure and nodded in agreement. Then, he inquired with concern, "Today, Liu came to apologize to me, saying that a few days ago you accidentally fell into the water in Yangzhou and remained unconscious for three days. After waking up, you seem to have forgotten some things. Tomorrow, I will personally go to the palace to find an imperial physician from the Imperial Medical Academy to treat you."
“No need for that, I’ve already fully recovered. Aunt Liu has already told you about what happened at the Sheng family in Yangzhou, hasn’t she?” Jin Shuai said firmly.
"Yes, she did mention it. So, are you really planning to marry the eldest daughter of the Sheng family?" The old man asked Jin Shuai with a puzzled look on his face.
"I've already promised the girl, I can't go back on my word, right? I didn't arrange a marriage between us, did I? Hehe..." Jin Shuai scratched his head, revealing a sly smile as he asked.
"Well, there's no marriage arranged. But why do I feel that what you said today is a bit strange?" The old man frowned and replied thoughtfully.
"An immortal touched my head, and a sudden burst of strength awakened my spirit. What exactly does the old man mean by this?" Jin Shuai suddenly blurted out, thinking he would just bluff him first.
Upon hearing this, the old man was greatly surprised, his face filled with astonishment. He urgently asked, "Who...who told you this? Or where did you hear it from?"
"I saw it when I was unconscious," Jin Shuai said, repeating his previous statement from the Sheng family.
After hearing this, the old man slowly lowered his head and fell into silence. A moment later, he suddenly raised his head, his expression becoming unusually serious, and solemnly asked, "Besides you, is there anyone else who knows about this?"
“Sheng Hong and the Prefect of Yangzhou. I didn’t understand the meaning, so I asked them for clarification. As a result, that Prefect Liu actually made up some nonsense about ‘a celestial being pointing the way,’” Jin Shuai answered truthfully.
"Fortunately, it's quite far away. You must not go out these next few days, and remember not to reveal a single word about this matter. Only after I have properly arranged for your attendants can you go out and about," the old man instructed solemnly.
“Yes, sir, I won’t go out. Oh, and sir, don’t forget to send those so-called ‘three letters and six gifts’ to the Sheng family.” Jin Shuai nodded obediently and added a reminder.
"Hehe, very good, I will send someone to handle this matter tomorrow. But why do you need to hire so many craftsmen? What is the purpose?" the old man asked curiously.
