In the seventh year of the Qingli era, Madam Cheng taught the children to read the History of the Later Han.
When they reached the story of Fan Pang, Su Shi was deeply inspired. He declared that when he grew up, he too would become a just and incorruptible official like Fan Pang, and that he would gladly die for his principles if he were ever caught up in a political purge.
Su Zhe, sitting nearby, applauded his second brother enthusiastically.
Hearing that his second brother had planted a very dangerous flag, Su Jingxian jolted upright from his sickbed, though he was near death.
At such a young age, he's already racing down the road to getting beaten up by both the New Party and the Old Party. The future of the Su family looks bleak!
Madam Cheng asked, "A Yuan, what are your ambitions?"
Su Jingxian's voice was hoarse, but his answer was firm.
"I want to make a fortune!"
Su Zhe, sitting nearby, applauded his eldest brother enthusiastically.
Su Shi was shocked. "Brother, is that all?"
Su Jingxian: )
Hmph. You scholars who care about the whole world have no idea how hard it is to support several hundred people in the Su family!
- Reader Advisory -
1. The first three chapters provide background and contain a great deal of the parents' love story (BG romance). The protagonist's point of view begins in Chapter Four.
2. A slow-burn slice-of-life story. The protagonist goes from being the pampered eldest son to becoming the head of the Su family in Meishan, and will eventually become the richest merchant of his age, doing business across many countries.
3. The protagonist has several romantic relationships, since falling in love is also a way to experience the customs of different countries (w). The ending is one-on-one.
Theme: Cherish your family and support them
The writing is super good, I look forward to the update [make me healthy]
