The following days were filled with joy, as Qin Xi drove everyone to visit Qinhuangdao, where they saw Shanhai Pass and gazed upon the ancient stele inscribed with "a scoop and more."
Before the stele faced toward the vast sea, Mr. Li took a deep breath and asked Qin Zhen, who was hopping around, "Qin Zhen, what do you think 'a scoop and more' means?"
Qin Zhen pondered over these characters and eventually ventured a guess: "Could it mean that the sea is just a scoopful of water? But how large must a scoop be to contain it all!"
Qin Xi felt quite helpless regarding her brother, but Li Xianglu knew the meaning of the saying. Qin Zhen's interpretation wasn't wrong, just a different perspective.
Mr. Li chuckled and said, "Hmm, that's not bad, Qin Zhen is quite perceptive. Isn't it just saying that the sea is as much as a scoop of water? To an Emperor, it is indeed just a scoop of water."
