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

"Grandpa, you only need to maintain your usual demeanor. We are currently in Tokyo, practically isolated and without support. As long as we do not participate in any factional collusion or seek personal gain, we can ensure our safety and ultimately retire successfully." Jin Shuai answered his grandpa's question with a smile and a firm tone.

"I understand the reasoning behind this. When the craftsmen sent by my family arrive, I will have them take this letter back to their hometown and properly instruct their clansmen." The old man nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with Jin Shuai's words.

"That's excellent. When the brokers arrive tomorrow, I'll buy some skilled needleworkers. After they've learned, I'll take them back with me. Then, we'll open a women's goods shop back in our hometown. We can also use the Empress's name to make some money. Hehehe..." A sly smile appeared on Jin Shuai's face as he secretly plotted his future plans.

"Yes, that's very good. We must show our loyalty to the Emperor at all times and in all places. In that case, I'll leave the arrangements to you!" the old man earnestly instructed.

"Very well, Grandfather, please rest assured. I will take my leave now." Jin Shuai bowed respectfully, then turned and left the study, returning to his courtyard to take a nap.

An hour later, sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows, and Jin Shuai slowly awoke. He stretched and then got up to walk towards Liu's courtyard. As he stepped through the gate, the scene before him made him smile. A group of graceful women sat together, busily working with needle and thread and fabric, their cheerful laughter echoing through the air.

Dong Qiuhe spotted Jin Shuai with her sharp eyes. She walked gracefully to his side, bowed slightly, and said, "Viscount, you've arrived."

Jin Shuai nodded, his gaze sweeping over the women focused on their work, and smiled with satisfaction: "How's everyone's learning going? These tasks shouldn't be too difficult, right? When you return to the palace, you can use silk as the outer fabric, but the lining must be made of soft, comfortable material. If anyone experiences itching or redness after wearing it, don't panic; it's just a silk allergy. Just stop wearing silk products. After you go back, you can continue to improve and innovate, such as embroidering exquisite patterns on the clothing and designing various different styles. In short, you need to think things through and keep improving! Remember to report to the Empress that once the high, medium, and low-end products are finished, send me one hundred samples of each. This way, I can find suitable franchisees. As for me, I'll start looking for shop locations tomorrow." With that, Jin Shuai's face beamed with confidence and anticipation.

Dong Qiuhe replied, "Yes, Your Excellency. I'll go and get busy for a while, and we'll return together shortly. We'll come back to report on the progress tomorrow." With that, she turned and went back to the group of women, continuing her busy but organized work.

"Could I trouble you... the chief eunuch in charge of the palace gates, could you come with me tomorrow? I need to speak with him about something," Jin Shuai asked with a smile.

“Your Excellency, there’s no need to speak to them separately. They will come to deliver the imperial decree to you tomorrow…” Dong Qiuhe said.

"Understood, thank you for the reminder, Madam Dong. I'll have Liu see you off when you leave; I won't bother. Sorry," Jin Shuai said with a smile.
