"I am of the Han Chinese ethnicity, from the northern border of the Dragon Kingdom. My grandfather is ill, and we came to Yuzhou to consult a traditional Chinese medicine doctor."
When everyone heard the boy's answer, their previous mockery and ridicule disappeared.
What ethnic minority?
The 56 ethnic groups of China are one family, all part of the Chinese nation.
Moreover, the boy came from the distant northern frontier and had traveled thousands of miles with his grandfather to seek medical treatment.
Hearing the boy's insightful answer, and knowing the story behind it, was truly remarkable.
Without saying a word, Qin Zian handed her the diamond to him.
Furthermore, Qin Zi'an instructed his staff to make proper arrangements for the boy and his grandfather.
After he finished his work, he personally examined the boy's grandfather.
Qin Zian's heartwarming act also allowed everyone to see the official's humanistic care.
The surrounding crowd whispered among themselves, all casting approving glances at Qin Zi'an.
After the boy's little incident came to an end, a new round of cultural Q&A began.
Then, a man walked up to Qin Zian and spoke with pride and smugness.
"I have considerable knowledge of the history and culture of the Dragon Kingdom. Ask me anything. If you can't find the answer, you lose."
Seeing the older brother's imposing manner, Qin Zian's lips curled up slightly.
Previously, because of the provision of warmth and welfare, Qin Zian's problems had always been kept under wraps.
He was just worried about having nowhere to ask his many questions about his sixth child, and now he finally had the chance.
"Do you understand the Four Great Classical Novels?" Qin Zian asked with a smile.
The eldest brother chuckled dismissively and said arrogantly, "You're kidding! I started reading the Four Great Classical Novels when I was three years old. Nobody knows them better than me."
Seeing the older brother's confident demeanor, the onlookers' attention was drawn to him.
Who on earth is this cultural figure who dares to make such outrageous remarks?
But since they said that, they must have some idea of what they're talking about.
If you can't answer in front of so many people, you'll lose face big time.
Thinking about it, the onlookers couldn't help but shake their heads, feeling a pang of anxiety for themselves.
After all, they don't have many diamonds left, so they should prepare well for this big test.
The idea had barely surfaced in everyone's minds when Qin Zian ruthlessly refuted it.
"We all know that there are 108 heroes of Liangshan in 'Water Margin'. May I ask what shoe size they all wear?"
The moment Qin Zian asked that question, the confident older brother's face turned green with anger.
The confident guy originally came to show off, but he didn't expect that his boast would be ruthlessly thwarted by Qin Zi'an as soon as he started.
What shoe size did the Liangshan heroes wear?
Who the hell would know that?
Let alone this ordinary, self-confident guy, even Shi Nai'an himself might not be able to answer the question.
Seeing that Confident Bro was speechless after being humiliated, the onlookers were amused by Qin Zi'an and started discussing him without any restraint.
"Hahahaha! What shoe size do the heroes of Liangshan wear? Is Qin Zi'an planning to start a shoe factory? How could he ask such a wise question?"
"This question isn't difficult either. We can deduce it from the height and weight of the 108 Liangshan heroes. They were reading the Four Great Classical Novels when they were three years old, so they certainly won't be stumped."
"This story teaches us to be humble. Look at that damn kid just now. He could have gotten diamonds just by stating his position, but he had to show off. Now look what happened, he's met his match."
"Brother Confidence is well-versed in the Four Great Classical Novels, so I have a question for him too. Why did the Black Bear Spirit, even after being subdued, still go to swear brotherhood with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and finally go to join Song Jiang with an axe? Was it because Lin Daiyu died, and he wanted to commit suicide with her?"
"Good heavens, a single six! Your question is much trickier than Qin Zian's. If it were me, I would ask if Wu Dalang sets up his stall at night. If he does, then I'll go find Pan Jinlian and have some fun with her."
With Qin Zian's question about the sixth child, the atmosphere at the scene became quite lively.
It's fair to say that, apart from the confident guy, no one else was unhappy.
The laughter and jeers from the onlookers were deafening, and Confident Guy heard them all, his face turning bright red.
He glanced guiltily at Qin Zian and slowly asked, "What shoe size do the 108 Liangshan heroes wear?"
"I don't know!" Qin Zian shrugged dismissively and said with a smile, "That's why I asked you. I thought you knew too."
Upon hearing Qin Zian's answer, Confident Brother's face darkened even more.
"That doesn't count! You should ask a question with historical basis, not a question you just made up."
Qin Zian nodded thoughtfully and asked calmly, "Do you know anything about the Three Kingdoms?"
The confident guy snorted and said arrogantly, "I've read Romance of the Three Kingdoms no less than a hundred times. No one knows the Three Kingdoms better than me."
As always, Confident Guy was quite arrogant and had made thorough preparations.
Qin Zi'an had originally planned to lighten the mood by asking the "sixth brother" question, but after seeing the arrogance on this confident guy's face...
Since none of them came, Qin Zian wanted to tease them a little more.
Therefore, a new round of the "sixth place" problem has begun.
"Alright! Let's have a quick Q&A. Who was Zhou Yu's wife?"
