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

There's definitely something interesting going on over there in Chapter 4.

The man looked at the woman in ancient costume and asked urgently, "Um... what's your name? How old are you? And what official position does this old man hold? How many people are there in total? Who's the leader?"

The woman in ancient attire bowed slightly and replied softly, "Brother Xi, my name is Liu Lanhua, and I have lived twenty-three years in vain. My grandfather once held the official position of a third-rank official in the Ministry of Revenue. Steward Jin knows better than anyone how many people are in our household. Should I summon him?"

"Okay, go and call him!" the man nodded in response.

Then, the woman in ancient costume gracefully stood up and stepped out. The man, however, strolled to the basin and quietly gazed at his reflection in the water, momentarily lost in thought. After a long while, he nodded and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, not bad looking, quite a handsome young man." A moment later, he suddenly felt a chill, so he turned and walked to the clothes rack, reaching for a garment and attempting to put it on. However, after fiddling with it for a while, he couldn't figure out how to dress properly. Just then, Liu Lanhua led a robust middle-aged man into the house. Upon seeing the man, the middle-aged man immediately showed displeasure and snapped at Liu Lanhua, "Mama Liu, why don't you hurry up and dress Xi-ge'er!"

Liu quickly helped the man put on his clothes. The man then asked, "Butler Jin, right? I have a fever, so I can't remember some things..."

"Brother Xi, please don't frighten me! How can I report back to the Master if I do that!" said Steward Jin.

"I'll explain to the old man after we meet him. Oh, by the way, how many people are there on our side now?" the man asked.

"Reporting to my lord, there are a total of twenty-one servants accompanying us to Tokyo this time," Butler Jin hurriedly replied.

"Hmm... I want to go out for a stroll. You should go and make some preparations," the man instructed.

“But, Brother Xi…you’ve only just recovered from your illness, what if…” Butler Jin asked with concern, his face showing worry.

"It's alright, don't worry, I'm just going out for a walk and getting some fresh air," the man reassured him.

"In that case, very well, I'll make the arrangements right away." With that, Butler Jin turned and left.

At the city gate of Yangzhou, a two-wheeled oxcart slowly entered the city, its wheels creaking and groaning over the stone pavement. The man inside, jolted and disoriented, could no longer bear it and shouted, "Stop! Stop!" He jumped off the cart, clutching his chest and trying to suppress the churning in his stomach. Composing himself, he looked around at the street scene, thinking to himself: This place is quite similar to those ancient cities used for filming, only the streets are rather chaotic. Turning to his wife, Liu, he frowned and complained, "I never want to ride in this dilapidated oxcart again; it's practically shaking my insides out. Fine, I'll walk."

At this moment, four attendants followed behind the man and Liu. Liu wanted to hold the man's hand, but he refused. As they walked, they looked at the ancient street. Suddenly, people on the street hurriedly headed in one direction. The man knew that there must be something exciting going on there.

The man said to his attendant, "Go and find out what's going on." The attendant obeyed and left.
