After the [-]th day of August, the results of the decisive battle at the top of Zijin did not come out for a long time. On the contrary, in the capital, since the end of August, there have been more and more Jianghu people with swords and knives day by day.The second tier, Sikong Zhaixing, finally knew the result of the decisive battle at the top of Zijin, but he was a little speechless. Ximen Chuuxue proposed to postpone the battle for one month, and the August [-]th was changed to September [-]th, and the place of the decisive battle was changed to the capital. As for I don't know where the capital is.

When he heard the news, Sikong Zhaixing was drinking tea with Rongrong in the teahouse diagonally across from his pharmacy, listening to those Jianghu people who didn't know whether they came down from Zijin Mountain or just heard it, talking like no one else.In fact, in Sikong Zhaixing's opinion, whatever is fine is fine, as long as the decisive battle is not held near their pharmacy, he will be at ease.

Only gradually, Sikong Zhaoxing realized that what he was thinking seemed too simple.The situation in the capital became more and more chaotic. This decisive battle attracted not only the passing spectators, but also those speculators who took the opportunity to set up a bet.In such a situation, Sikong Zhaixing always felt that nothing good was going to happen.

Gradually, even the clerks in the pharmacy knew about those gambling games in the capital.Ordinary people rely on their skills to live, and they really don't understand how someone would be so bold as to engage in a life-and-death battle at the feet of the emperor, who is the most important place in the capital.The rivers and lakes are too far away from them, even though there are already many people from the rivers and lakes walking around them, they still feel that these people are completely different from them and have nothing to do with them.

When Sikong Zhaixing thought about it, he also told the clerks in the pharmacy not to participate in these matters, and it was enough to take care of their duties.Those young guys all nodded yes, they still expect to do a good job and save some money to ask for a wife to support their family, so naturally they don't want to get involved in this. They feel that they are far away from them, and it sounds really scary. things.

Sikong Zhaixing knows a lot about the many handicap bets in the capital, and now the most bets are three bets and two bets on Ye Gucheng, because Ximen Chuuxue's request to delay the battle for January is regarded as he is afraid of Ye Gucheng and hides Get up and dare not fight.Sikong Zhaixing scoffed at the rumors. In his opinion, if Ximen Chuuxue was really afraid of Ye Gucheng, there would be no need to show up on August [-]th, and he could have hidden away long ago, so why did he say anything on purpose? Wouldn't it be contradictory to delay the battle for one month?

Sikong Zhaixing was just thinking about it when he passed by and heard those gossips, now he is just an honest commoner, it is better for him to turn a deaf ear to these things.He walked around the alley, and his destination was Hefangzhai, a time-honored pastry shop with a thriving business on the street. Rong Rong likes to eat dim sum from this shop.The pastry chef of this family is also getting old, and his wife often goes to their pharmacy to buy some medicinal materials for her husband's health. He is familiar with those who come and go, and each of them gives some discounts.

These few days, the pharmacy's business is relatively quiet, but Rongrong started researching new prescriptions.When the pastry chef asked his wife to go to the pharmacy, he said that he was planning to develop some new snacks recently, so he stopped by to buy some so that they could be tasted by Rongrong and let her rest. Of course, it would be best to take her home by the way. Don't always stay in the pharmacy busy buying and selling medicinal materials but it's not his business.

There are more and more people from the rivers and lakes in the capital, old friends who have known each other for a long time, and enemies who have not seen each other for a long time. When these people get together, there are always countless troubles.The business of the pharmacy increased inexplicably, and people kept coming to buy medicine for bruises.

Most of these people are Jiang Hu people, some of them are healing their comrades who have been injured in fights, and some of them are planning to do something when they see the enemy, so they prepare medicine in advance just in case.There are also some businessmen who want to buy and sell opportunistically, thinking that the money of the Jianghu people is easy to make.However, when they blackmail the Jianghu people for money, they will definitely know that it is always much easier for the Jianghu people to use the hidden swords and swords in their hands than to use the silver in their pockets.

Sikong Zhaixing successfully brought Rongrong back home. Apart from going for a walk on the street occasionally, he just got tired of talking to each other every day, and the matter of stealing fragrance became more and more smooth.Rongrong has gradually stopped even blushing, and directly picked up the book she was turning over in her hand or grabbed a handful of herbs to stop the thief's hands from approaching.

The little girl Liu Nuo also appeared less and less by their side, except when Sikong Zhaixing came back with cakes, she would go to get some and then left quickly.Because she found that the "boudoir joy" of brother Sikong and sister Rongrong in her mother's mouth would really harm the innocent, not to mention, those herbs were chopped into pieces, and if they were not careful, they would be mixed into the pastry. It tastes bitter.

Mrs. Liu and Wu occasionally had time to spare. Seeing that her daughter did not go to Rongrong to learn to read and write, she simply taught Liu Nuo some small embroidery patterns. After all, girls will marry in a few years, so they must be able to do it. some embroiderers.The little girl was also somewhat interested in this, so the young couple Sikong Zaixing and Rongrong had more time to spend alone "flirting".

Because Sikong picked his wife back home with his wife, Liu Cheng was in charge of the business of the pharmacy. Mr. Liu's family occasionally went to help, keeping accounts for his son, and he knew nothing about medicinal materials and could not help. .The pharmacy was closed, and when the father and son returned home, Mr. Liu sometimes brought some good wine to drink with his boss, and sometimes he bought some silk thread for his wife and daughter.

So now this can be regarded as a family of six, and they get along more and more harmoniously.

By the tenth day of September, because Ximen Chuuxue hadn't shown up yet, the rumors about him fleeing without a fight became more and more popular. Those who want to bet on Ximen Chuixue's victory want to try to put their money on Ye Gucheng.

As September [-]th drew closer, the situation in the capital became more and more tense. This time, Sikong Zhaixing had made it clear to Rongrong that he would not be allowed to go out until September [-]th.Rongrong knew about the turmoil in Jianghu, and Sikong Zaixing was far more knowledgeable than her, so she followed his advice and stayed at home.

It's just that Liu Cheng still has to go to the pharmacy every day. Although Mr. Liu's family went with him, if the two of them accidentally get entangled with those Jiang Hu people, they will also suffer. Xing and Rongrong were somewhat worried.So Sikong Zhaixing didn't continue to stay at home with Rongrong all day long, but changed his face from time to time to go to the shop to check the situation, and if someone without eyes came to him, he would take action calmly and Don't worry about leaving any trouble for your own shop, you can kill two birds with one stone.
