A Cai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: Abandoned Concubine The Emperor's Phoenix: Abandoned Concubine Volume 2086, fulfilling Su Wenqing's wish
Three hundred thousand taels of gold!
Su Wenhang donated almost all of the Su family's private property.
Of course, the Su Mansion has more than just this little silver, but most of the silver in the Su Mansion was earned by Su Wenqing for the Ninth Prince. Only these 300,000 taels of gold belong to the Su Mansion and can be used by Su Wenhang.
Su Wenhang donated all the Su Mansion's properties and cash without any hesitation. Before this, the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen had no idea about it, and they only found out about it afterwards.
"Wen Hang is no ordinary person, as he can give away such a large fortune so easily." When Feng Qingchen heard the news, her stomach twisted violently. The baby in her belly seemed to know it and kicked Feng Qingchen several times.
"With such courage, the Su family will not have to worry about having no successors, and Wenqing can rest in peace." The Ninth Prince did not expect that Su Wenhang would be so decisive at such a young age, and he was very happy for Su Wenqing.
The boy who lay in Feng Qingchen's arms and cried like a child has grown up long ago. He only behaves like this in front of Feng Qingchen.
Although Su Wenhang's move was beyond the Ninth Prince's expectations, it did not prevent the Ninth Prince from taking advantage of it to do something...
Soon, the news that Su Wenhang had donated most of his family property to the orphans of Dongling spread. This move not only caused a sensation among the people, but also caused a lot of discussion among the powerful and wealthy.
Those nobles who did not have much wealth but loved to show off scolded Su Wenhang for being stupid and a prodigal son, saying that their wealth was gone in an instant.
Three hundred thousand taels of gold! Even if Su Wenhang squandered all his life, he could not spend so much money. But it was all gone after he donated it.
This guy is simply a spendthrift!
Kyoto Fu Yi knew about this and personally summoned Su Wenhang. When Kyoto Fu Yi asked Su Wenhang why he did this, Su Wenhang said calmly and gently: "My brother taught me since I was a child that silver is dead in your hands, and giving it to people in need is the best destination for it. This silver was earned by my brother. I believe that my brother's spirit in heaven will be very happy to know that the silver he earned can help others."
"What about yourself? Have you ever thought about yourself?" Many people say that money is nothing, but very few people can actually do it. Kyoto Fuyi couldn't believe that this young boy in front of him was so free and easy...
"Me?" Su Wenhang smiled indifferently: "If I have talent, what's the point of having them? If I am incompetent, what's the point of keeping them? Although my brother is a merchant, he is well-read and has extraordinary talent and knowledge. I was taught by my brother himself. He told me since I was a child that a gentleman loves talent and gets it in a proper way. Gold and silver are just external things. It's good to have enough. If a person lives to be burdened by external things, it's better not to live."
As soon as Su Wenhang said this, the whole capital city praised him for his gentlemanly demeanor, but more people praised Su Wenqing, saying that he taught his disciples well and was a well-deserved gentleman and a good man.
At this time, people remembered the huge bet and the huge amount of money involved when Feng Qingchen and Su Wan competed.
At that time, the Su family was the one who set up the gambling game. Although the Su family made money, they set aside a portion to support the poor people. Many poor families have received help from the Su family, and now they have much more money left than the money.
For a time, Su Wenqing's righteous act was praised and spread by people, and it almost became known to everyone. Of course, the Ninth Prince's contribution was indispensable behind this, otherwise the public would not have focused their attention on the dead Su Wenqing and ignored Su Wenhang.
Originally, because the Su family was engaged in business, they had a bad reputation among the literati, and the better schools did not accept Su Wenhang. But because of this incident, the Su family's reputation was greatly improved, and the character of the two brothers Su Wenqing and Su Wenhang was also recognized by the world.
Many great scholars praised the Su family as a family of good deeds and Su Wenhang for his noble character, and they extended olive branches to him, expressing their willingness to accept Su Wenhang as their personal disciple.
Even the world-famous young master, when gathering with his friends, said that although Su Wenqing was a businessman, he was a noble person with great literary talent and was a true gentleman.
His younger brother Su Wenhang is smart, intelligent, studious, and an unpolished diamond with unlimited future. If he had no intention of accepting disciples, he would have accepted him as his apprentice.
Although the eldest son did not accept Su Wenhang as his disciple, he personally wrote a letter to the Jixia Academy, recommending Su Wenhang to a great scholar who was as famous as Mr. Wenyuan.
When the great scholar expressed his willingness to accept Su Wenhang as his last disciple, Su Wenhang's name spread all over the world, and everyone praised him for his good fortune, for having a good brother who left a huge fortune to pave the way for him. But no one knew that if possible, Su Wenhang would be willing to exchange everything for his brother's life!
The royal family could not have been unaware of such a big event, and the officials could not have failed to mention it. When those upright and honest officials mentioned this matter in the morning court and praised the brothers Su Wenqing and Su Wenhang, the Ninth Prince went with the flow and not only praised Su Wenqing and Su Wenhang for their righteous deeds, but also mentioned that Su Wenqing died to save the emperor.
The combination of these two things is by no means as simple as one plus one. In his early years, the Ninth Prince wanted to posthumously confer the title of Duke of Huiguo on Su Wenqing in the name of saving the emperor, but he was dissuaded by Feng Qingchen as soon as the idea came to his mind.
Sometimes being overly honored and favored is not a good thing. The merit of saving the emperor alone is not enough. Although the Ninth Prince's reward can add to Wenqing's reputation, it will also bring endless troubles to Su Wenhang.
Su Wenqing is dead, and the Su family only has one half-grown Su Wenhang. The more honors and favors the Ninth Prince Uncle gives to Su Wenqing, the more exclusion and difficulties Su Wenhang will face when he enters the officialdom in the future.
Furthermore, when Su Wenqing died, the Ninth Prince was not yet the emperor. Even if he was the emperor, so what? As the people of Dongling, saving the emperor was what they should do. If he was made a king and a general just for saving the emperor, what would the secret guards and bodyguards around the Ninth Prince think?
If someone tries desperately to save the emperor again in the future, will the emperor make him a king or not?
Those who rescue the emperor must be rewarded, but the reward should not be too heavy. Once a precedent is set, it will be difficult to stop.
Feng Qingchen advised the Ninth Prince to wait and find a good opportunity. She believed that Wen Qing no longer wanted to wait a few more years, and now was the right time.
With these two things added together, the reputations of Su Wenqing and Su Wenhang have reached a height that is difficult for ordinary people to surpass. At this time, if they are mentioned for their contribution in saving the emperor, it is natural to reward them generously.
The Ninth Prince issued an edict to posthumously confer the title of Duke of Huiguo on Su Wenqing. Because Su Wenqing had passed away and had no offspring, this title could not be inherited, and only Su Wenqing had this honor.
Originally, all officials thought that the Ninth Prince's reward was too generous, but because the title could not be inherited, the court officials had no reason to object. Instead, they felt that the Su family suffered a loss.
In this way, the Ninth Prince rewarded Su Wenqing and protected Su Wenhang. Su Wenhang had a great scholar from the Jixia Academy as his teacher, and he could easily enter the circle of clean officials in the future. In addition, with the support of the Ninth Prince, as long as Su Wenhang did not make a big mistake, he would be crowned a king and a prime minister one day.
In this way, Su Wenqing's wish was fulfilled. From then on, the Su family entered politics from business. As long as Su Wenhang and his descendants managed the business well, with the Nineth Uncle's affection for the Su family, it was only a matter of time before the Su family became a famous family...
