Outside the gate of Kyoto Prefecture, more than a dozen men who looked like merchants were waiting anxiously.

"My shop has been very cold lately, and if it goes on like this, it probably won't be long before it closes down."

"Yes, this Li Sicong is really hateful, what kind of department store has been created, attracting most of the customers in the entire West Market, and in the long run, I'm afraid it's not good."

"Hey, I knew it was like this now, when Hu Qing came to me to join, I just agreed."

"There is no regret medicine for sale now, the only thing we can do now is to keep warm, and present this matter to the Lord of Kyoto City, please make the decision for us!"

......

Pedal Pedal Pedal ~

With the sound of footsteps, a messenger walked out of the mansion and waved to everyone, "The city order allows you to go to the court." ”

When they heard this, they hurriedly followed the messenger into Kyoto.

......

In front of the window on the second floor of Sicong Department Store, Li Sicong looked at the street outside motionlessly, as if waiting for something.

"Little Hou Ye ......"

A voice came from behind Li Sicong, and Li Sicong turned his head to look and found that the person who came was Hu Qing.

"What's the matter, what's the matter?" Li Sicong asked.

Hu Qing stretched out his hand and took out a thick booklet from his arms, and gave it to Li Sicong: "Little Hou Ye, this is the merchant who recently applied to join our department store. ”

Li Sicong opened the booklet and took a look, and then a little embarrassed appeared on his face: "So many families? ”

Speaking of this, Li Sicong looked at Hu Qing again: "Is our grid full?" ”

"Occupied."

Hu Qing replied, and then said: "Little Marquis, I have something that is not worth talking about. ”

"Say it." Li Sicong said lightly.

Hu exhaled lightly and said: "Little Hou Ye, our department store is so popular now, and the rest of the relative West Market is a lot deserted, I heard the grapevine that some merchants have sued us to the two Kyoto City Bureau, and it is estimated that in a few days, the City Bureau will send someone to investigate us." ”

"Really? We haven't done anything bad, so let's check with them. Li Sicong said disapprovingly.

Hu Qing shook his head: "Little Hou Ye, as the old saying goes, the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it, if we want to survive in this Chang'an City for a long time, I am afraid that it is better not to make too many enemies." ”

"I see."

Li Sicong said, and then his eyes condensed slightly, as if he saw something: "Huh? Brother Songtsen Gampo? ”

"Songtsen Gampo?"

When Hu Qing heard this, he also looked at Li Sicong's gaze, and also found four tall men, whose appearance was Songtsan Gampo and Lu Dongzan.

"You come with me, I'll meet you."

"Yes."

After Li Sicong finished speaking, he turned around and went downstairs with Hu Qing.

The department store is crowded with people, and all kinds of foreign faces can be seen everywhere.

Songtsen Gampo stood at the door, and several times he wanted to go in, but he was pushed out by the crowd.

Just when a few people were worried, Li Sicong and Hu Qing actually went out of the door along the way.

Songtsen Gampo also saw Li Sicong and the others for the first time, and his originally anxious face suddenly became a lot of joy: "Brother Sicong! ”

"Big brother, why are you here?"

Li Sicong also showed a smile and hurriedly greeted him.

Songtsen Gampo stretched out his hand to hug Li Sicong, and then parted: "Hehe, I came this time, of course, I have something important to look for you." ”

"Oh? What's important? ”

Li Sicong showed a hint of surprise, and then said: "There are many people here, let's go to the nearby Wangfeng Teahouse and sit down and talk slowly." ”

"It's fine."

Songtsen Gampo said, and then took Lu Dongzan and Li Sicong and walked towards the teahouse in the west.

Entering the Wangfeng Teahouse, the group found two empty tables to sit together, ordered a few pots of good tea, and then opened the chatterbox.

"Brother, I came this time, but I have something to trouble you." Songtsen gan sermon.

Li Sicong put down the teacup in his hand and said, "If the eldest brother has anything, just say it, and the younger brother will definitely help if he can." ”

"Hehe, it's not a big deal, it's just that I want my brother to make a room for me in your department store, of course, I can give you double the rent." Songtsen gan sermon.

Hearing this, Li Sicong's face showed a touch of embarrassment, and when Songtsen Gampo saw it, he said strangely: "What's wrong, is there something wrong with what my brother said?" ”

Li Sicong shook his head: "No, it's just that the eldest brother is very unlucky, and now the department stores are full, and there are really no vacant seats." ”

"Really...... That's a shame. Songtsen Gampo said regretfully.

"Big brother doesn't have to be like this, my department store can be free for three months, and after three months, all ownership rights will be taken back, and then I will leave a better location for my eldest brother." Li Sicong said.

"So that's the case, hehe, then thank my brother first."

Songtsen Gampo said, then lowered his eyebrows slightly and pondered, and then asked: "By the way, Brother Xian, I remember the last time we drank at your place, and when we left, we seemed to see a woman in pink, and I didn't know ...... she and Brother Xian were."

"Don't mention it."

Li Sicong shook his head, raised his hand and took a sip of tea: "I love beautiful women, but beautiful women are difficult for my wife." ”

"Oh? There is such a thing, why don't you talk to me? Songtsen Gampo said.

Li Sicong smiled again and shook his head, and told Songtsen Gampo about himself and Li Yan'er.

Songtsen Gampo listened to Li Sicong's narration, and his eyes didn't know why, but they actually released a little light.

"Brother Xian, according to what you say, it is really basically impossible between this Yan'er girl and you."

Songtsen Gampo said this, and then explained: "Although this Li Daozong has been degraded, his identity is still the imperial family, and besides, you Tang Dynasty don't have a saying, called the words of the parents' order matchmaker, but as long as this Li Daozong still has a breath, I am afraid it is impossible to ask his daughter to marry." ”

Li Sicong looked at Songtsan Gampo and showed a trace of doubt: "Why, doesn't my eldest brother believe that I can do it?" ”

Songtsen Gampo laughed and said, "Hahahaha, I'm just thinking, since the virtuous brother can't pursue beauty, he can give it a try for his brother." ”

"Big brother, don't be kidding, come, let's continue to drink tea!"

In Li Sicong's words, he picked up the teacup and put it to his mouth and drank it.

After thinking about it with a slight bow, Songtsen Gampo also continued to drink tea.

......

When Li Sicong and Hu Qing returned to the inn together, it was already evening.

"Little Hou Ye, I always feel that this Songtsan Gampo is not a good thing, you have to pay attention." Hu Qing said.

Li Sicong shook his head: "Don't worry, the eldest brother is generous and benevolent, and there will be no difference." ”

After finishing speaking, Li Sicong entered his room, and Hu Qing had no choice but to shake his head when he saw this, and also went to the next room.
