"Dad, are you only going to let Rui'er take people to Bao'an County this time? He is only twenty-five years old and has not experienced much. This is not a trivial matter. Isn't it appropriate for him to go?"
Through the dim light, you can see a middle-aged man in his forties talking to a group of figures in front of him. But the figure is too far away from the light, and it is impossible to see clearly what the man looks like. What does it look like?
"Ahem!" The man hidden in the darkness coughed twice. After a while, he heard an extremely old voice saying: "Didn't this man's experience come from his career? Don't let him When it comes to doing things, where does the experience come from?”
"Dad, that's not what I meant. How can anyone be the person in charge from the beginning? Don't they always help first and then gradually become the person in charge!" said the middle-aged man.
"Rui'er is twenty-five this year, so he's not too young. Besides, Rui'er is very smart. I believe 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 hope that he can support the family now, but if he fails this time, those people in the family will say harsh words again." The young man continued to persuade with earnest words.
"Haha, do you remember the reaction of the people in your family when you first started taking charge? Speaking of which, you also suffered a lot when you first started taking charge of the house, and it was quite difficult for the people in the second and third houses to laugh at you. Days, but didn’t you learn how to manage the house and take care of the family business in the process of suffering? Now I do the same to Ruier." The old man said.
"Besides, I've already found out clearly that the store in Shibo Division can only be rented for one year at a time, and can also be sublet, which is different from the rules of Shanghai Shipping Division. Even if Rui'er fails this time, the loss will not be big;"
"And the person heading the Kang family's trip to Bao'an this time is Rui'er's father-in-law Kang Yuquan. Kang Yuquan only has a son and a daughter who cherish his daughter very much and will help Rui'er;"
"Third, you are already the confirmed head of the family. Your second son is only fifteen years old this year, which is ten years younger than Rui'er. He has no intention of competing with Rui'er for the position of head of the family. What are you afraid of? "
The old man first showed from the front that he believed Rui'er could succeed, and then showed from the negative that it would be okay if he failed. Of course, the middle-aged man also wanted his son to be well, so he did not raise objections and just said: "I hope he can succeed."

…
Looking up from the dim room where the middle-aged and elderly father and son lived to the mid-air, it can be seen that although the room is very small, it is located in a very vast courtyard, and this courtyard is connected with dozens of courtyards. It forms a very large mansion. Turning your attention to the main entrance of the mansion, you can see two large gilded characters: Li Mansion.
At this time, in a courtyard on the middle road of this huge mansion, a young woman was instructing the servants to pack something. Then she walked into the house and said to a young man: "Ms. sir, let my servants sort out those concubines." You should bring all the good things with you."
He looked at the servant who was packing and said: "Hui'er, there are too many things. I'm just going to Bao'an, not a long trip. I can come back by the middle of the month at the latest. I don't need to carry so many things." ?”
"Besides, grandpa is not allowed to bring too many servants this time, as there are too many things to carry."
"How many servants will Grandpa ask you to bring?" Hui'er asked.
"I am only allowed to take six male servants and two maids with me, and the rest are the clerks and apprentices in the family shop." He said.
"Well," Hui'er thought for a moment, then said, "We do have to subtract something." She turned around and gave orders to her servants.
This young man is the eldest grandson of the famous Li family in Guangzhou, the future head of the family Li Guangrui, and the woman is his wife Kang Hui. (They have appeared before, but it was a long time ago)
Tomorrow Li Guangrui will lead the Li family to Bao'an to buy several shops in the industry from the Shibosi Yamen, turning the smuggling business that their family has been running for a long time into a serious business.
Kang Hui had already given instructions to his servants, and came over to Li Guangrui and said, "I have asked them to reduce the luggage to enough for six male servants to carry."
'But it's still a lot! I just went to Bao'an!' Li Guangrui complained in his heart. However, he felt his wife's concern for him and did not refuse, saying, "Thank you Hui'er."
"You and I are husband and wife, so why talk about thanking you?" Kang Hui said with a smile.
Li Guangrui said: "You have dealt with housework for a day during the day, so go to bed early; I will leave early tomorrow morning, so we can all rest."
"My servants haven't finished wrapping up the gifts yet. Can't we postpone this matter to tomorrow morning? It will take a while," Kang Hui said.
She looked at Li Guangrui, who had nothing to say, and found it quite funny. She couldn't help covering her mouth and smiled, but she stopped laughing before he noticed it, and asked: "Which uncle will take my husband to go there tomorrow?"
Baoan?"
"No one took me, so I took people to Bao'an myself." Li Guangrui said.
"Ah!" Kang Hui accidentally cried out, but immediately said: "My husband, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that my husband has never done such a thing alone before."
"I know what you mean. It's different from those uncles who probably want to wait to see a joke." Li Guangrui said.
Their relationship as a couple was very good. Their three children were all born to Kang Hui. Li Guangrui didn't have any official concubines, only one had a common concubine, and the possibility of pregnancy was eliminated, so the couple was of the same mind.
"Actually, I'm not very confident in taking people to Bao'an alone. I also told my grandfather to let an uncle take me to learn from the side; but my grandfather believes in me, and I can't refuse." Li Guangrui said.
"Ms. sir, I know that you are eager to get involved in the family business, but it's better to be on the safe side." Kang Hui persuaded vaguely, knowing that Li Guangrui actually had an unspoken sentence, "I don't want to refuse."
"I have already agreed, and I will leave tomorrow. Can I still go to see grandpa at this time?" Li Guangrui said.
Governor Kang Huiye had no room for change at this point and could only stop talking. At this time, her maid Hongyu came over and said: "My eldest mistress, the servants have already wrapped up the eldest young master's gift for tomorrow."
"Now that the package is finished, go to bed. You have to get up early tomorrow." Li Guangrui said with a yawn.
"Then take a rest," Kang Hui told Hong Yu: "Ask the servants to send all the gifts to the outer study, and tell Wang'er, who will go to Bao'an with the eldest master tomorrow, to avoid making a mess early tomorrow morning."
Hongyu agreed and went out. Then the little girl helped the couple take off their clothes and turn off the lights to sleep.
