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

As Jin Shuai stepped into the mansion, he immediately spotted Cai Zan and quickly came forward to greet him. Cai Zan smiled and said softly, "My lord, Aunt Kang has arrived. She says she has something important to ask of you and has come to pay her respects."

Upon hearing this, Jin Shuai frowned slightly, pondering to himself: What brings Aunt Kang here so suddenly? After a moment's thought, he instructed, "Go and tell her that the Emperor has important matters to attend to, and I am truly unable to come. If there is anything, let her discuss it with Madam first. I have some official business to attend to and must go to my study first."

Having said that, Jin Shuai turned and headed towards the study. However, he had only taken two steps when he suddenly stopped. A thought flashed through his mind: Aunt Kang never comes without a reason; this time, her visit is probably not so simple. If he directly refused, it might cause unnecessary trouble. It would be better to see what she wants first.

Thinking of this, Jin Shuai quickly stopped Cai Zan and instructed her, "Wait a moment, please ask Aunt Kang to wait in the side hall. I will be there shortly."

After strolling around the backyard for a while, Jin Shuai walked to the side hall. He gently pushed open the door, stepped inside, and his gaze immediately fell on a woman beside Hua Lan. This woman was a bit older, but still very elegant; she must be Aunt Kang.

When the two women saw Jin Shuai enter, they quickly stood up. Hua Lan stepped forward and said softly, "My lord, you've finally returned. This is Aunt Kang, my mother's elder sister."

Jin Shuai smiled and cupped his hands in greeting to Aunt Kang, saying politely, "Your son-in-law greets Aunt Kang. There's no need to be so formal. Please have a seat."

Seeing this, Aunt Kang quickly stood up, curtsied, and said, "This concubine greets Your Excellency."

Jin Shuai smiled and invited Aunt Kang to sit down again. Then Hua Lan glanced at Aunt Kang and said softly to Jin Shuai, "My lord, Aunt Kang has come here today to ask for a favor."

Jin Shuai smiled and asked, "Oh? Is there anything Aunt Kang can help me with? As long as it's within my power, I certainly won't refuse."

Aunt Kang looked worried and sighed, saying, "My lord, my husband was taken away from home by the officials of the Three Judicial Offices. As a woman, I really don't know what he has done wrong. So I would like to ask you to help me find out what my husband has done."

"Then go back and wait for news!" Jin Shuai said expressionlessly, as if the matter was insignificant to him. Then, he paused slightly and continued, "I'll send someone to inquire about the situation later."

Aunt Kang was somewhat displeased upon hearing Jin Shuai's words. She felt that Jin Shuai's attitude was rather cold, as if he didn't care about her affairs. However, she dared not easily express her dissatisfaction, after all, Jin Shuai was a rising star in the eyes of the officials and a powerful figure in command of the troops.

Jin Shuai seemed oblivious to Aunt Kang's change in mood. He continued, "I still have matters to attend to from the Emperor, and I really can't spare the time to keep you company. How about this, let Hua'er keep you company for a while." With that, he stood up, preparing to leave.

Seeing this, Aunt Kang quickly said, "Please go ahead with your business. I'll talk to Hua'er for a bit and then leave." She tried her best to be polite so as not to offend Jin Shuai.

Jin Shuai slowly walked into the study and sat down at the desk. Before long, Yue Ru and Tian Xiang arrived as gracefully as butterflies. Yue Ru held a steaming cup of fragrant tea in her hand, gently placed it on the table, and then stood gently behind Jin Shuai, extending her slender hands to softly massage his shoulders.

Tianxiang quietly walked to Jinshuai's side, squatted down, and carefully massaged his legs. Jinshuai leaned back comfortably in his chair, his eyes slightly closed, fully enjoying the two women's attentive service, as if all his fatigue had vanished in that moment.

Just as Jin Shuai was immersed in this pleasant atmosphere, a light footstep sound came. He opened his eyes and saw Hua Lan walking in gracefully. Jin Shuai smiled slightly and waved for Yue Ru and Tian Xiang to stop what they were doing.

"Aunt Kang, have you been to her house?" Jin Shuai asked Hua Lan softly.

Hua Lan nodded and replied, "She went, but Father ignored her completely. She had no choice but to come here to beg me. If you find it difficult, I will refuse her tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Jin Shuai burst into laughter: "Haha, Hua'er, you're looking down on your husband! You'll have to teach her a lesson tonight! How could her family's petty affairs make things difficult for me? Her husband is involved in a corruption case and won't be out anytime soon. I'm just too lazy to tell her. Anyway, tomorrow, the whole of Tokyo will know about this."

Hua Lan's face was filled with shock and disbelief. She unconsciously covered her mouth with her hands, and even her voice trembled slightly: "Ah! Uncle Kang always seemed so refined, always writing and showing off his charm. How could he... how could he be involved in such a thing!" The shock in her eyes had not yet faded, and her brows were tightly furrowed. She seemed unable to connect the familiar Uncle Kang with his corruption.

Jin Shuai's expression was gentle, with a hint of reassurance in his eyes. He raised his hand and waved it gently, saying softly, "There are too many officials involved in Dongjing City. Let's not talk about these troublesome matters anymore. I'll tell you something happy. I've obtained an imperial decree for Yue Ru and Tian Xiang. Tomorrow, the palace will send someone to announce the decree. You two should stay in the mansion and wait patiently. Don't go out, lest you miss such an important matter."

Changing the subject, Jin Shuai continued enthusiastically, "There's one more thing. Today I acquired the Iron Shavings Building and two shops on Heshun Street. That location is prime, and its future development is limitless. You should all think about how to manage it. One of the shops is reserved for the Sage."
