The boat traveled for another day, and when it came to a canyon, the speed slowed down a lot, and after a while, the boat was much more noisy.

Jia Baoyu was practicing in the cabin, feeling the power of the water spirit, so that his mastery of the water charm was more perfect, and he stopped practicing when he heard such a noise.

"What's going on?"

The hoe had already arrived outside Jia Baoyu's door, and replied: "Second master, there is a wreck of a merchant ship and some dead bodies in front of you, as if you have encountered an underwater undercurrent. ”

"Undercurrents." Jia Baoyu walked out when he heard this, the stream in the Grand Canyon was turbulent, but if it was said that there would be an undercurrent, Jia Baoyu would not believe it.

Looking at the wreckage of the merchant ship not far away, Jia Baoyu's eyes had a more solemn aura, the merchant ship turned out to be the one that Jia Baoyu and his party had taken before.

"Second master, this ship seems to be a ......"

Halfway through the words of hoeing medicine, he was stopped by Jia Baoyu's gaze, "This ship has nothing to do with us, if it spreads, I won't be able to spare you." "Everything else is fine, if the news is known to the lady on the ship, it will definitely cause panic.

Although this was a tragic incident, the others did not think much of it and believed the explanation of the ship's undercurrent, but some experienced sailors knew very well that it was not the case, but they could not do anything but move forward carefully.

Jia Baoyu had already quietly used water spiritual power to hide those things that could reveal the identity of the ship in the middle of the way, and the fewer people found out about this problem, the better, otherwise it would be difficult to explain.

When the boat reached the next pier, Jia Baoyu and his party got off the boat, although it was unlikely that they would be attacked twice in a row. But be careful.

At the same time, this is also for Daiyu's consideration, because seeing the tragic incident of the merchant ship, the women are inevitably a little worried, although the land route will be bumpy, but it is better to be safe.

After another day, he finally returned to the capital on the third day of the eighth month, and returned to a familiar place, Jia Baoyu was also a lot more relaxed in his heart, but there was a trace of coldness in his heart.

The person who wants to attack him is in this capital, and Jia Baoyu will never let go of the person who wants to kill him. Even if you can't make a move for the time being, you will make the other party suffer a big loss. Of course, the most important thing at the moment is Jia's mother's birthday.

It's not a big birthday, but according to the standards of previous years, how can there be a two-day banquet, but it's a pity that Jia's mother is not interested this year. I don't even want to celebrate. It was only after some persuasion by Jia Yu, Jia Zheng and others that they agreed to get it. Rao was like this, but he didn't plan to attend at all, and he only came out to listen to the play on the third day.

In the past, Jia Mu liked Journey to the West very much. Lu Zhishen made a big fuss about Wutai Mountain, but he didn't have any interest in watching such a scene, and Sister Feng knew that Jia's mother was thinking about Jia Baoyu and Daiyu.

Said: "Counting the time, Brother Bao will come back in the next day or two." ”

Jia Mu was a little listless when she heard it, but when she heard it, she instantly became much more energetic, "That's right!" There is no accurate news either. ”

Seeing that Mother Jia was really interested, Sister Feng said again: "I have already ordered people to wait at the dock, as long as Baoyu and they arrive, they will come back immediately to spread the word, and the ancestor will definitely know it as soon as possible." ”

"I don't know if I've been suffering outside for so long." Jia Mu said that she was worried again.

Not only Mother Jia was worried, but Mrs. Wang was also a little distracted, for fear that Jia Baoyu would suffer a loss outside these times, seeing this, Li Kun quietly touched Sister Feng.

Sister Feng herself also felt it, and knew that it was not appropriate to talk about this topic, just to change the topic was to see someone running in in a hurry.

"Old lady, second wife, Second Master Bao and Miss Lin are back."

The next person said that Jia Baoyu came in with Daiyu, and came to Jia's mother, "Baoyu (Daiyu) asks the ancestors for peace, and wishes the ancestors happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan." With that, the two knelt down together and kowtowed to Jia's mother.

"Get up and let me see." said so, but where could Jia Mu wait for the two of them to get up, she was the first to get up.

Daiyu's physical strength was not good, but Jia Baoyu hurriedly got up to support Jia's mother, "Ancestor, slow down, we have come back." ”

"It's good to be back, go and see your mother, she's also worried these days."

Jia Baoyu heard it and came to Mrs. Wang again, "Say hello to my wife, I have been worried about my wife these days." ”

Mrs. Wang stretched out her hand to take Jia Baoyu into her arms, although Jia Baoyu's current height was not very suitable for such behavior, but she was still obediently held by Mrs. Wang.

"Get a tan." Mrs. Wang was distressed and wiped her tears.

"This is deliberate, it used to be too white, and it didn't look manly, but now it's much better, isn't it, Sister Bao."

Saying that he is looking at Baochai, he hasn't seen him for more than a month, although he doesn't miss it every day, but he thinks about it a lot, and now it's very comfortable just to look at it.

Maybe he didn't admit it before, but now Jia Baoyu can be indifferently sure that he is in the heart, eating the bowl and looking at the pot, in short, that's it, everyone doesn't want to give up, maybe some people don't care about love or anything, but this is the result he wants.

"It's a little taller again." Baochai looked at Jia Baoyu who was smiling at him in front of him, and had an illusion in his heart, he seemed to be a little different after not seeing him for more than a month.

This illusion made Baochai a little anxious, did he miss something unconsciously, couldn't he keep up with his pace? Because of this feeling, there is some panic and unnaturalness in the speech.

Jia Baoyu was focused on Baochai, and such a subtle difference could be felt very clearly, and he was slightly surprised.

"Didn't you arrange for someone to pick you up at the dock? I don't see anyone spread the word! ”

Because of the return of Jia Baoyu and Daiyu, Jia's mother was much happier, she was really enjoying her birthday, and she was willing to say more.

Sister Feng was a little embarrassed when she heard Jia's mother's question, "It must be a lazy person." ”

Jia Baoyu listened and said: "It's not to blame them, we got off the boat temporarily and walked by land, it's strange that we can pick it up." ”

Saying that Xiangling and Zijuan were here, both of them were holding things in their hands, Jia Baoyu and Daiyu left the table together, which they brought to Jia's mother as a congratulatory gift.

Jia Baoyu sent a string of Buddhist beads, "This is sent by Master Huijue, the abbot of Baoyu when he left Hanshan Temple, saying that it can have the effect of calming down and sleeping peacefully. ”

Daiyu also took the things she prepared, which she personally copied the scriptures and turned them to pray for Jia's mother.

The two of them gave very simple gifts, but they won the heart of Jia's mother, what kind of rare and strange treasures Jia's mother has seen, and it is not rare, what she wants more is a heart.

Lin Ruhai also brought a birthday gift, which was a jasper pine, which was extremely exquisitely made, and the value was naturally very expensive, but it was still behind, and it was not taken out on the spot.

Jia Baoyu and Daiyu sat on both sides of Jia's mother, the two were asked a lot of questions, Jia Baoyu tried her best to pick up interesting things, and there were also some oil and vinegar, just for Jia's mother to listen to it happily.

When she spoke, Jia Baoyu looked at Baochai more than once, she was absent-minded, which made Jia Baoyu extremely concerned, for fear that something would happen to Baochai when she was away, could it be that Xue Pan had cheated herself again? This Jia Baoyu had to be suspicious.

Because of the hurry, Jia Baoyu and Daiyu arrived at Jiafu with Jane in a light car, and many things were brought over by hoeing medicine, and some of the gifts prepared were not sent now.

"Is that Hanshan Temple fun? Second brother. "Xiangyun doesn't bite his tongue to speak in front of people, which makes Jia Baoyu a pity, if he hears a sentence of 'love' for his brother as soon as he comes back, it would be great.

With regret, he still replied with a smile: "Hanshan Temple has nothing to play, but it will be so noisy that I can't sleep when the bell rings in the middle of the night." ”

"Isn't that supposed to be called a midnight bell to make a noise on a passenger ship? The second brother wrote the scene. Xiangyun said with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

Jia Baoyu didn't want to be here, a little helpless, but he couldn't reach out to hit Xiangyun's head when he was far away, but it was a pity, "Go back and settle accounts with your girl."

Because of the return of Jia Baoyu and Daiyu, the play stopped for a while, and the stage started again at this time, this time Jia Baoyu had never seen the person who sang the opera before, and the figure was mainly composed of some little girls, but it made Jia Baoyu guess who it was.

Although I haven't seen it, I have a cordial feeling, and now I think that the people in the family are almost together, so my heart is a little more comfortable.

"How have you been, sir!" It couldn't be that she stayed next to Jia's mother all the time, and Jia Baoyu sat next to Mrs. Wang after a while.

"It's still the same, I went home for one day this month, and the day before yesterday I went out to Beijing to run errands." Mrs. Wang said helplessly, Jia Zheng was not here in the past, Jia Baoyu was still there, this Jia Baoyu was not at home when she left Jia Zheng, she was not used to it, but fortunately, Jia Baoyu is back now.

"The old man is too tired." After saying this, Jia Baoyu won't say this anymore, Jia Zheng's hard work is naturally not a simple matter of the Ministry of Industry, just because this person is too diligent, although he has raised some Qing guests, but he rarely communicates with them, in Jia Baoyu's heart, he wants Jia Zheng to be less responsible, so there will be a lot less hard work.

At this banquet, Jia Baoyu and Daiyu are the absolute protagonists, even Jia's mother, who was originally the protagonist, is also willing to be a green leaf, Daiyu is okay, Jia Baoyu has almost never stopped, listening, answering, asking, in short, trying to enliven the atmosphere, so that Jia's mother can be happy.

Finally waited for the banquet to disperse, Jia Baoyu went out in a hurry, and he didn't have time to say anything first.

Because Baochai has already taken the lead, which was impossible to happen in the past, Jia Baoyu naturally wants to ask the truth, and Jia Baoyu thinks that he owes Baochai a lot in the past month or so. (To be continued......)

PS: Tomorrow's first shift will be postponed to the afternoon.
