It was almost dinnertime when Smith came back and made an appointment with Mr. Taylor at ten o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow at a coffee shop in town.James guessed that Mr. Taylor wanted to use tomorrow to find out about his situation, so is Mr. Taylor in a hurry to sell the land?James shook his head, who cares, it doesn't matter if the negotiation fails, there are other options anyway.Putting everything down, James went down to eat easily.

"Honey, Mrs. Lucas invited me to her home tonight." Bennett took a sip of the sweet and sour fruit juice with great enjoyment, and said to James with a smile.

James raised his eyebrows. What made her say she was going out at night?Unless it's a dance party, I usually stay at home at night, "Oh? What's the matter with Mrs. Lucas?"

"No, nothing. My dear, there is nothing special. It's just that Lucas's family invited a few neighbors to get together and chat. After all, there are no activities at night." Seeing that James did not speak, Mrs. Bennet obviously did not want to Go, "Just go once, my dear, you can't just read books every night, and I haven't seen anything good about those books, I will only feel dizzy when I read them."

James was helpless, he remembered that afternoon, "Then what about Jane, leave her at home alone?"

"Of course not, take Jane with me, there is a little girl in the Lucas family." Mrs. Bennet took the juice that Jane reached out for again, "Oh, Jane, you have had enough, you I can drink again, I just had a meal not long ago. Would you like to go find sister Charlotte to play with mom?"

"Sister Charlotte, is that the sister who played with me last time?" Jane tilted her head, and after thinking for a while, she remembered that she was given a doll to play with her last time, and that sister was very nice to her. Well, don't bully her. "Okay, Jane likes sister Charlotte. When we go, I will take my favorite doll and play with my sister."

"Okay. Now you and Jenny go to the room to clean up and bring what you like." Mrs. Bennet was very happy. "Honey, I'm going up to change clothes too."

James watched helplessly as her bulky but flexible body left, and hurriedly asked Mrs. Smith to follow her upstairs to watch. It had been more than seven months, and he was still so careless, which made him really worried.

"You're here, I thought you wouldn't be here tonight." Mr. Lucas pretended to be shocked to James and his family who had just arrived, and then said with a full face: "Welcome, I said James, You're finally out."

It’s not that he made a fuss, but no one in Longbourn now knows that Mr. Bennet just doesn’t like to go out, and he basically doesn’t participate in ordinary dances. Come out, a lady who is not two doors away, of course this is a Chinese way of saying it, but that's what they mean.I thought that tonight, Mrs. Bennet, who was worried about being pregnant, would stay at home.

"I was fishing with you two days ago, why didn't I go out." James also retorted immediately, didn't he know what people outside said about him, but he didn't care, there were still people who would be the ones at the beginning But with the development of the Bennett family getting better and better, except for the occasional joking with him who has a better relationship with him, basically no one will say anything casually in front of him.

"Haha, you know that too, by the way, are you going hunting tomorrow? We plan to go to the mountain in the east."

"There are some prey here. I haven't been there for a long time, and my skills are unfamiliar. If I can't catch a prey tomorrow, I will be laughed at by you." James was a little moved, but now he didn't know whether he could ride a horse or be a What about the problem.

"What are you afraid of? Take someone with you, and you will become proficient again if you don't practice slowly." Lucas suggested.

"Are you sure? At that time, I will be the only one who will not play. If I want to watch you guys having fun, I will quit."

"You are still thinking about so many things, okay, let's go, at worst I will accompany you to fish in the lake at the foot of the mountain tomorrow." Lucas directly decided for James, and pulled James into the inner room, "They are all playing cards inside , let's go see it too."

James actually doesn’t like to play shooting. There are too many modern entertainments. The only thing that can arouse his interest here is the hunting that Mr. Lucas said, but here, let’s go with the crowd.And Mrs. Bennet greeted Mr. Lucas when she entered the door and took Jane in.So when James went in, what he saw was that Mrs. Bennet with her big belly was happily discussing with a few women that the hats there were more beautiful, and the little girl Jane was playing with Charlotte and a few other little girls.

"James, come here quickly, there is still one person missing here, and it is just right for you to come." When one of them saw James, he hurriedly called him over, and it turned out that there was only one person short of playing cards.

James smiled and hurried over. "Hey, how long have you been playing?"

"It's been a while, why did you come so late. You can take John's position. He just lost too many times, so he just put down his cards and stopped playing. I hope you have better luck."

"You're not afraid that I won't play when you say that." James took off his coat before sitting down and making a gesture to leave.

"Hey, I'm joking, don't take it seriously, if you really leave, I'll be torn up by them"

"Hahaha"

"Honey, I'm going hunting with Mr. Lucas and the others today. Take care of yourself and let me know if anything happens." James was very worried about leaving Mrs. Bennet alone at home. For some reason, he just He cared so much, as if he had obsessive-compulsive disorder, wanting to stare at her all the time.

"I'm not Jane, my dear, and there are so many people at home, they will take good care of me." Mrs. Bennet was speechless. Every time James went out, she had to tell her many times, as if she would lose herself. Thinking that James might only be paying attention to the child in his belly, another burst of inexplicable heartache, went out for a walk and ignored him.

James only thought that she was annoyed by him taking care of him all the time, so he shook his head and rode on his horse to meet Mr. Lucas and the others.

The hounds ran happily in front, and the servant was holding a shotgun and carrying some daily necessities on his back, obviously planning to have a picnic outside after hunting the prey.James and his fellow gentlemen rode slowly on the horses, not rushing on their way, laughing and laughing, as if they had returned to the age of ten years old. Although they were still very young, they had already formed their own families.From time to time, the horse lowered its head to eat a few mouthfuls of fresh-looking green grass, and snorted a few times.

He soon arrived at the destination and took a short rest. James breathed a sigh of relief. With the foundation of the original body, riding a horse is quite simple. I don't know if hunting is the same.James took the shotgun from the servant and examined it carefully.

"Come on man, go up and try your skills first." Mr. Lucas still remembered what James said last night, and he was the first to call James.

James jumped up, got on his horse and rushed towards the forest with Lucas full of excitement.Others also called their companions, and those who liked to be alone greeted and rushed out. Of course, there were special guards to follow them for their own safety.

"Stop, let's walk slowly, don't disturb the prey." Mr. Lucas whispered to James, tugging on the rope.

James nodded to show that he knew, and tightened the rope to let the horse walk slowly, looking around, preferably with a small animal around, he couldn't wait to express the excitement in his heart with actions.It's a pity that he didn't see the prey so quickly as James thought.The two of them continued to move forward without saying a word. As soon as they went down a small hill, Mr. Lucas signaled James to move slightly. He saw the prey. It turned out that the hounds had found a nest of rabbits.James suddenly became nervous, which was caused by his excitement.According to Mr. Lucas, James walked gently to the other side, that good shotgun, ready, and waved his hand to indicate that he was ready.

James pointed a gun at one of the rabbits, and the rabbit looked around vigilantly, its eyes rolling. When the gunshot rang out, the rabbit quickly ran into the grass and disappeared. James was a little disappointed.However, Mr. Lucas hit a rabbit. The two got off the horse. The servant next to him picked up the rabbit and showed it to them. The rabbit was hit by a shotgun on one leg and was still struggling.

The hunting dog barked suddenly. Mr. Lucas followed the hunting dog and saw a hole in the ground. He called a servant and started digging at the hole. James followed to see what was there.After a while, the hole under the ground was dug, and the hounds stopped barking.Picking up the dry haystack, James saw it. It turned out that there were a few little rabbits inside. They looked like they hadn't been born for a few days. Their eyes hadn't been opened yet, and they couldn't run. Shaking together.

The servant gently picked up the little rabbits, put them on the ground, removed the grass clippings covering them, and then revealed the true colors of the rabbits. They were so small that James suspected that they were no bigger than his palm. One white and two gray ones.As soon as James saw these little rabbits, he thought that Jane would like it, and he moved to ask Mr. Lucas for one back.

"Hey, Lucas, how are you going to arrange a few bunnies?"

"I don't know, let's talk about it after taking it back. Why are you interested, little rabbit?"

"I think Jane will like it. I want to take one back to Jane. I think your daughter will like it too." James told Mr. Lucas generously.

"Oh yes, little girls seem to like these little things better, so I'll leave this gray one for Charlotte, which one do you want?" Mr. Lucas chose the clever gray little rabbit After thinking about it, James still wanted a white one, and picked the stronger one.

Mr. Lucas asked the servants to take care of the prey, and the two continued to walk inside. In the end, they returned to the foot of the mountain after hunting a wild boar. It's afternoon, let's not talk about gossip, we all went home one by one.
