In late spring, in the auspicious pond in the courtyard, three pink lotus buds are about to bloom, and the water is rippling under the green lotus leaves, and a dozen brocade fish are chasing and playing.

However, Chu Yin didn't even look at it. She walked around the corridor, then looked up at the high wall and sighed.

Chunmei was surprised and felt that the girl today was a little strange.

The broccoli was put into the tank a few days ago. The girl likes it very much. She would take a look at it and feed it every day after getting up. But now it looks like it is worried and even sighs like an adult.

"Girl, do you want to go out and play?" Chunmei also looked at the high wall, "Or do you want to eat some snacks from a shop?"

Seven-year-old children are like this, either thinking about playing or thinking about eating. However, Chu Yin was reborn a second time, how could he still be a child?

She was racking her brains over how to meet Lu Jingzhuo.

In her previous life, her life was truly perfect. She and Lu Jingzhuo loved each other very much, lived together till old age, had many children and grandchildren, and enjoyed all the happiness of family. Before she died, she lay in Lu Jingzhuo's arms, without any regrets in her heart, only some reluctance, as she had to be separated from him again after all.

Who would have thought that she was reborn again.

She once dreamed that she and Lu Jingzhuo could be like a daughter and son-in-law, childhood sweethearts, but when she really became a seven-year-old child, she realized that dreams are just dreams.

Not to mention that it was difficult for her to meet Lu Jingzhuo, even if she did, Lu Jingzhuo didn't know her and would probably ignore her.

He spoke the truth that day.

Twenty-one-year-old Lu Jingzhuo is an adult man, but he is very indifferent when it comes to his instinctive desire for women, let alone an eleven-year-old child. He should only be interested in riding, martial arts, and hunting.

So she shouldn't expect to meet him when she goes out for fun or on the street.

She was born and raised in Qingzhou. Before the Chu family and the Chengwang Mansion discussed the marriage, she had never met Lu Jingzhuo!

Chu Yin frowned and slowly walked back into the house.

Did she have to wait until they first met at the age of sixteen?

That’s nine years of waiting!

It's too long.

Chu Yin stopped and told Chunmei: "Please invite my brother over."

Thinking that he wanted the young master to take her out, Chunmei agreed and left quickly.

Soon, Zug appeared.

The brother is the same age as Lu Jingzhuo, also eleven years old this year, with red lips and white teeth, very handsome. When Chu Yin saw such a young brother, she was happy and wanted to laugh. In her heart, she treated him as a child and couldn't help but chuckle.

Chug: “…”

Chu Yin was afraid that her brother would be surprised, so she quickly put on a good expression and called sweetly, "Brother."

Chu Ge asked, "What were you laughing at just now?" He felt that Chu Yin's laughter was strange.

"I'm glad to see you, brother." Chu Yin went up to him and pulled his sleeve. "Brother, can you take me out to play?"

My sister was wearing a pink sakura-bottomed spring shirt. Her eyebrows and eyes were as beautiful as a painting, and she was as delicate as a porcelain doll. Chug immediately stopped asking and asked, "Where do you want to go?"

"I want to go hunting."

Chug was stunned: "What? Why?"

Hunting must be very scary for a little girl. Why would my sister have such an idea?

"I dreamed of watching it yesterday, and I was very curious. Brother, can you take me to have a look? Is hunting usually done somewhere outside the city?" Chu Yin felt that the only way to see Lu Jingzhuo was to go to the hunting place.

If he went out, it was to go hunting, either alone or with King Cheng.

"It's at the foot of Ulsan. But even if you want to see it, you need a hunter," said Chug. "I can't do it."

"I know my brother wouldn't do that, but doesn't my brother know anyone like that?"

When his sister reminded him, Chu Ge hurriedly said, "Yes, Brother Fang likes it very much. How about I invite him to come over and ask him about it? But will mother agree?"

Of course her mother would not agree, but Chu Yin knew that her mother loved her, so she used the tricks commonly used by children, such as acting coquettishly, crying, and begging, and successfully made her mother agree. So Chu Ge invited Fang Yu to visit his house in the afternoon.

The Fang family and the Chu family were not overly close, but they were old friends. Fang Yu was the son of a general and had been practicing horse riding and archery since childhood. He was three years older than Chu Ge and was stronger, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and he looked heroic at a young age.

Chu Yin naturally knew Fang Yu, but they didn't have much interaction in their previous life. Fang Yu was seven years older than Chu Yin, and Fang Yu was already married when Chu Yin was twelve years old.

"Brother Fang, Ayin dreams of hunting and insists on asking me to go and see it, but I don't know how to do it, so I asked you to come... Can you take us there when you have time so that we can broaden our horizons?" Chu Ge said as he poured him a cup of tea.

Fang Yu smiled and said, "Why not? I'll go back and prepare, and we'll go to Ulsan the day after tomorrow." He looked at the little girl opposite him who looked like a sculpture of ice and jade, and was as white as a glowing white. "Are you really not afraid? Don't cry when the time comes."

"No, I can just cover my eyes," Chu Yin said with a grin. "Brother Fang, are there usually many hunters in Ulsan?"

"Not many. How many people in Qingzhou do you think know how to ride and shoot? Apart from the men of our Fang family, there are only the Cheng Wang and the Crown Prince of Cheng Wang Mansion, and the Yongding Marquis Mansion."

Chu Yin's eyes lit up.

As expected, Lu Jingzhuo often went to Ulsan to hunt.

She was very happy: "Wow, King Cheng and his son will also go? When do they usually go? Can Brother Fang tell me?"

Fang Yu had met Chu Yin before, but he had never been called "Brother Fang" so sweetly. He immediately answered every question: "I heard that they often go there in Yuezhong."

There are still five days until the middle of the month, so Chu Yin wants to buy time and ask Fang Yu to take her hunting in the middle of the month.

She looked at Chug and said, "Brother, is hunting crowded and lively? How about we go there in the middle of the month?"

Fang Yu's heart skipped a beat.

Ulsan is so small that if he goes there in the middle of the month, he will definitely meet King Cheng and his son, or the Crown Prince of King Cheng. They are of noble descent, so he is naturally inferior to them and will have to be restrained.

"Hunting doesn't need to be lively. It's not like you're going to herd people."

As soon as Chu Yin heard it, she knew Fang Yu refused.

She narrowed her eyes and said, "Is Brother Fang afraid of the people in Cheng Wangfu?" She sighed slightly, "Then we will..."

"Who said I'm afraid?" Being young and hot-tempered, he couldn't stand the word "afraid". Although he wanted to avoid it, he didn't want to be noticed. Fang Yu patted his chest and said, "Just go in the middle of the month, it's nothing."

Chu Yin was not a child, so she knew what Fang Yu was thinking. She felt a little guilty for using provocation.

But apart from this method, she couldn't see Lu Jingzhuo at all.

Chu Yin blinked and said, "Brother Fang, I am really sorry to bother you. After hunting, I will treat you to a meal."

The seven-year-old girl asked for dinner. Fang Yu was amused by her and looked at Chu Ge: "Just let your brother treat you."

Chug said, "Of course."

He should repay the favor his sister owes him.

Chu Yin said, "I have money, I'll pay, don't be polite, Brother Fang."

The girl was quite forthright, so Fang Yu didn't refuse.

Chu Yin even personally saw him out.

At this time, Lu Jingzhuo was hiding under the shade of a tree not far from the Chu family's gate.

In his previous life, he heard about Chu Yin's rebirth. Although he believed it, he still found it unbelievable. However, he did not expect that after his death, he would also be reborn and become an eleven-year-old boy.

It will take another ten years before I marry Chu Yin.

He had a headache for a while, and found an opportunity to leave the palace in the afternoon and came to the door of the Chu family alone.

The wall of the Chu family was not high, and with his kung fu he should be able to climb over it easily. He remembered that there were not many guards in the Chu family, so it should not be difficult to see Chu Yin. The only thing he was afraid of was that Chu Yin was not reborn and would be scared by him.

The seven-year-old girl is very timid and I don’t know how much she will cry.

This method is too risky.

Lu Jingzhuo thought, why not let my mother invite the Chu family to be our guests?

Of course you can, but your mother will definitely ask why.

What excuse did he make?

He was too young to have a crush on someone, so he couldn't mention Chu Yin, or Chu Ge? But he didn't date Chu Ge, and he didn't have any friends...

Lu Jingzhuo pinched his brows.

Just at this moment, the door of the Chu family opened.

The first person to come out was a boy of about fourteen or fifteen years old.

The young man looked familiar, but I couldn't remember who he was.

Next up is Chu Ge, and then Chu Yin...

Lu Jingzhuo was stunned.

At this time, Chu Yin was very small, wearing a pink spring shirt with a cherry blossom background. She had black hair that was combed into two buns and a pink pearl flower on her head. She had big almond eyes, a small nose, and red lips, and was smiling at the young man.

Chug asked Fang Yu: "If I want to learn horse riding, how long will it take me to learn it?"

I never expected that my sister would be interested in hunting. Chu Ge thought, if it's just for once, I can ask Fang Yu to take her, but what if my sister wants to go hunting again in the future? It's better to learn it myself, so I don't have to bother Fang Yu anymore.

"That depends on whether you have talent or not," Fang Yu pinched his arm, "You're pretty strong too, maybe it won't be hard to learn, maybe in a year or two, it shouldn't be hard to shoot a rabbit or something."

Chu Yin didn't expect that her brother wanted to learn it, so she wanted to stop him. But then she changed her mind and thought that there was nothing wrong in being good at both civil and military affairs.

In her previous life, her brother didn’t live as long as her. If he had learned some martial arts, he might have lived to be a hundred years old!

She smiled and said, "Brother, you can ask a master to teach you."

They spoke in low voices, and Lu Jingzhuo could not hear clearly what they were saying. Moreover, his attention was on Chu Yin. He just thought that the little girl was extremely cute. He was eager to hold Chu Yin in his arms immediately.

Chu Yin once fantasized that they could be childhood sweethearts, and he would definitely fulfill Chu Yin's wish.

Thinking about it, he took a step forward. He planned to pretend that he had lost something here and ask the Chu family's gatekeeper if he had seen it. This way he could take the opportunity to talk to Chu Ge and get to know Chu Yin.

Fang Yu was about to get on the carriage to go back.

Chu Yin was afraid that Fang Yu would go back on his word and not take her hunting, so she reminded him loudly, "Brother Fang, we've made a promise, don't forget it!"

The sound was sweet and crisp, like the sugar threads on a snack, falling into Lu Jingzhuo's ears.

His face darkened.

It turns out that Chu Yin had called someone other than Chu Ge "brother".

Fortunately, she told him that she wanted to be his childhood sweetheart!

Doesn’t she have a childhood sweetheart?

Lu Jingzhuo: Angry, angry, angry, angry!

Chu Yin: That’s not the case.

Lu Jingzhuo: You called me "brother".

Chu Yin: ...
