Chapter 598: The Li Family in the South China Sea
On the first day of February, Quang Nam Hai County.? ? Huoran? Wen???.? r a?n?ena`com
"Dad, this time only let Rui'er take people to Bao'an County? He's only twenty-five years old, and he hasn't experienced anything, so it's not a trivial matter, so it's not appropriate for him to go, right? ”
By the light that was not bright, a middle-aged man in his forties could be seen talking to a figure in front of him. But the figure was too far away from the light to see what the man looked like.
"Ahem!" The man hidden in the darkness coughed twice, and after a while he heard an extremely old voice say, "Isn't this man's experience all about his work?" If you don't let him do things, where does the experience come from? ”
"Dad, I didn't mean that, how can there be someone who is in charge from the beginning? Aren't they all the ones who follow to help first and slowly become the principals! The middle-aged man said.
"Rui'er is also twenty-five years old this year, which is not small. Besides, Rui'er is very intelligent, and I am sure that he will not let me down. The old man said.
"This, Dad, Rui'er is not only your grandson, but also my son, of course I also want him to be able to support the family now, but, in case he fails this time, those people in the family should say sour things again." The middle-aged man continued to persuade bitterly.
"Haha, do you remember the reaction of those people in your family when you first started to take charge? Speaking of which, when you first started to be a housekeeper, you also suffered a lot, and the people in the second and third rooms laughed at you for a long time, but didn't you know how to take care of the housekeeper and take care of the family's business in the process of suffering here? Now I'm doing the same for Ruier. The old man said.
"Besides, I have inquired clearly, the shop of the city company is only rented for one year at a time, and it can also be subleased, which is different from the rules of the Shanghai market. Even if Rui'er doesn't succeed this time, the loss is not big; ”
"And this time the Kang family went to Bao'an, and the person headed by Rui'er's father-in-law, Kang Yuquan, Kang Yuquan only has a son and a daughter, and he cherishes his daughter very much, and will help Rui'er;"
"Third, now that you are the head of the ironclad family, your second son is only fifteen years old this year, ten years younger than Rui'er, and he won't have the mind of competing with Rui'er for the position of the family, what are you afraid of?"
The old man first showed that he believed that Rui'er could succeed from the front, and then said from the negative that it was okay to fail, and the middle-aged man of course also hoped that his son would be good, so he did not object, but said: "I hope he can succeed." ”
……
……
Looking from the dim room where the middle-aged and elderly father and son were located into the air, it can be seen that although the room is very small, it is in a very large courtyard, and this courtyard and more than a dozen courtyards form a huge mansion. Then shift your gaze to the main entrance of the mansion, and you can see two large gilded characters: Li Mansion.
At this time, in a courtyard in the middle of this huge mansion, a young woman was instructing the servants to pack up something, and then went into the house, and said to a young man, "Xianggong, you must bring all the things that the concubine has asked her subordinates to put in order." ”
He looked at the servant who was packing on the side, and said, "Hui'er, this, there are too many things, I'm just going to Bao'an, not going far, I can come back in the middle of the month at the latest, I don't need to bring so many things, right?" ”
"Besides, this time grandpa didn't let him bring too many servants, so many things couldn't be brought over."
"Grandpa asked you to bring a few servants?" Hui'er said.
"I'm only allowed to take six male servants and two maids with me, and the rest are all guys and apprentices from my family's shop." He said.
"Well," Hui'er pondered, then said, "I really have to subtract something." Then he turned his head and went to command his subordinates again.
This young man is the grandson of the famous Li family in Guangzhou Prefecture, the future head of the family Li Guangrui, and the woman is his wife Kang Hui. (They've played before, but a long time ago)
Tomorrow, Li Guangrui will lead the people of the Li family to Bao'an to buy a few shops in several industries from the Yamen of the City Bo Division, so as to turn the smuggling business that their family has been operating for a long time into a serious business.
At this time, Kang Hui had already instructed his subordinates again, and walked over to Li Guangrui and said, "I have asked them to reduce their luggage to enough for six male servants to carry." ”
But it's still a lot! I'm just going to Bao'an! Lee Guangrui complained in his heart. However, he felt his wife's concern for him, and he did not shirk it, saying, "Thank you Hui'er." ”
"You and I are husband and wife, how can we talk about thanks." Kang Hui said with a smile.
Li Guangrui said: "You have also dealt with a day's housework during the day, so rest early; I'm going to leave early tomorrow morning, so let's all rest. ”
"The next person hasn't finished wrapping the salute, is it possible that such a thing will not be postponed until tomorrow morning? It's going to take a while. Kang Hui said.
She looked at Li Guangrui, who had nothing to say, and felt quite funny, so she couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile, but she stopped laughing before he noticed it, and asked again: "Which uncle will take Xianggong to Bao'an tomorrow?" ”
"No one took me with me, I took someone to Bao'an myself." Lee said.
"Ahh Kang Hui accidentally called out, but immediately said: "Xianggong, it's not that the concubine doesn't believe you, it's just that Xianggong has never done such a thing alone before." ”
"I know what you mean, it's not the same as those uncles who mostly want to wait to see the joke." Lee said.
The relationship between their husband and wife is very good, their three children were all born to Kang Hui, Li Guangrui did not have a formal concubine, and only one had sex and broke the possibility of pregnancy, so the husband and wife were of the same heart.
"Actually, I am not very confident in taking people to Bao'an alone, and I also told my grandfather to let an uncle take me to learn from the side; But grandpa believed in me, and I couldn't shirk it. Lee said.
"Xianggong, the concubine knows that you want to meddle in the family's business, but it's better to be safe." Kang Hui knew that Li Guangrui actually had unspoken half a sentence, 'I don't want to shirk either', so she persuaded vaguely.
"I've already promised to come down, and besides, I'll leave tomorrow, can I still go to grandpa at this time?" Lee said.
Governor Kang Hui has no room for change at this point, so he can only stop talking. At this time, her maid Hongyu came over and said, "Grandma Grandma, the servants have finished wrapping the eldest young master's salute for tomorrow. ”
"Now that the package is finished, let's go to bed, and we have to get up early tomorrow." Li Guangrui yawned and said.
"Then rest," Kang Hui instructed Hongyu: "Let the servant send all the salutes to the outer study, and tell Wang'er, who will go to Bao'an with the eldest young master tomorrow, that the province will make a mistake tomorrow morning." ”
Ruby agreed and went out. Then the little girl served them to undress and go to bed with the lights out.
