I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives

Soon, the Shangsi Festival on the third day of March arrived. Wei Lang invited many peers from the family to attend the banquet, and Chen Jue and Chen Jia, brother and sister, were also among the invited guests.

Perhaps in order to deliberately disgust Yang Xiu, Wei Lang specially sent an invitation to Yang Xiu, allowing Yang Xiu to attend the meeting as an exception.

Yang Xiu knew that Wei Lang hated Fei'er, so he could only bring his unmarried sister Yang Hui with him.

Wei Lang sat in the main seat, and next to him were the big families of Chenjun Xie, Taiyuan Wang, Qiaoguo Huan, and Yingchuan Yu.

The wooden cup was filled with fine wine, which flowed slowly along with the clear stream. Wei Lang picked up a cup of wine and looked at the people present. "It is the Shangsi Festival, and we are praying for blessings. I wish you all good fortune, peace and success."

Everyone raised their glasses and drank with Wei Lang. Wei Lang put down the cup and smiled slightly.

Wei Lang's face is like that of a banished immortal in the moon, handsome and elegant. His smile is like the wind blowing through willows, soft and graceful, and like the moon reflecting on lotus flowers, pure and noble.

Many unmarried girls were infected by Wei Lang's smile and were intoxicated by it.

Wei Lang seemed not to notice, and instead looked at Chen Jia beside Chen Jue, "Purifying oneself by the water, offering sacrifices to Gao Mei (méi), my heart's desire is on the other side of the water. Everyone, the Gao Mei (méi) worship begins, if there is someone you like, you can give him/her flowers and plants."

After Wei Lang finished speaking, he stood up first and walked towards Chen Jia under everyone's eager gaze.

Chen Jia's eyes widened. Didn't he say he would help her get a place in the expedition? Why was he giving her flowers?

Wei Lang placed the orchid in Chen Jia's hand. Everyone gasped and started whispering.

Yang Hui snorted and spat secretly, "Shameless second-married girl."

Yang Xiu did not turn around to look at his sister, but instead stared at Chen Jia. His heart was getting more and more painful.

Chen Jia was forced to take the orchid grass. She lowered her voice and asked, "What are you doing?"

"If I want you to go to Shouchun, I have to have a good reason."

Chen Jia looked at Wei Lang in confusion. Before she could say the second word, Wei Lang squeezed her hand tightly, and everyone gasped.

Not far away, the men of the Hedong Wei family all looked puzzled.

Wei Lang was calm and composed. "Yi Yi, you accepted my orchid today, which means you have signed a contract with me. I have always heard the Book of Songs say that we will be together in life and death. But I have never seen a true life and death bond. I wonder if you dare to go crazy with me and verify whether this is true or not?"

"What can I do with you?"

"The Shouchun front is in urgent need of help. I have been ordered to escort military rations. Since you have accepted my orchid, you must accompany me to the front."

"You once said that you would treat me as a national hero. If you keep your promise, I am willing to accompany you."

"I never lie."

Wei Lang held her hand tightly, and smiled as he looked at the companions from other families who were watching the excitement not far away, "I've seen enough of the excitement, everyone, you can move around on your own."

Wei Lang winked at several of his peers from other aristocratic families, and they followed him into the inner courtyard.

Wei Lang held Chen Jia's hand tightly, not allowing her to leave, and she followed him into the inner house.

Chen Jue lowered his eyes. He knew that today Wei Lang wanted to take care of the other families, unify their opinions, and make the Northern Expedition a success.

After all, Shouchun was the first battle of the Northern Expedition, and Wei Lang was someone who wanted to make sure everything was done perfectly.

However, Chen Jue was unhappy. This was not something he did for Chen Jia, but something done by another stronger man. He must acquire strength as soon as possible.

Yang Xiu came over and saw that Chen Jue had not entered the inner courtyard. He seemed to transfer his anger to Chen Jue and said in a sarcastic tone: "It turns out that you and Wei Lang don't have a good relationship either. Tsk, your sister has a man, she will definitely forget about you, her brother. You, like me, are a wanderer in this world."

Chen Jue glared at Yang Xiu and snorted, "Do you know why you are so stupid?"

"Stupid? You didn't even go in. Am I stupid or are you stupid?"

"You're the only one who can't get in there. Idiot."

Chen Jue rolled his eyes at Yang Xiu and walked in with his hands behind his back. Yang Xiu watched Chen Jue walk in easily and his face turned cold!

He also heard what was discussed in the inner courtyard today!

Anyone in the inner courtyard will be an important figure in the court in the future!

They will be the future figures of the court for more than 20 years! This is a grand party, and he refused to enter!

Yang Xiu clenched his fist slightly, OS: So, they really only play in their own small circle, and my background determines that I will never be able to squeeze in! Ha, Jiupin Zhongzheng, sooner or later I will abolish this!

Yang Xiu's face was gloomy.

In the inner courtyard, Wei Lang took Chen Jia along the cobblestone road and walked all the way to a small house surrounded by lush bamboo forests.

The furnishings inside the house are completely different from those outside. Here, the beauty of gardens can be seen everywhere, with carved beams and painted buildings, which are breathtakingly beautiful.

Wei Lang brought Chen Jia to the small room on the second floor. As soon as they sat down, Xie Shang, who had just smiled at Wei Lang, laughed and joked, "People say Rui Qing has a heart of stone, but now that he has a daughter, he has become more domineering."

Huan Yi picked up the teacup, held his chin, and stared into Wei Lang's eyes. "You usually act like a girl, silent and taciturn. I didn't expect that after you found your lover, you would become a sharp man. Men really change a lot when they grow up."

Wang Meng pushed Huan Yi and said with a smile, "You are such a scoundrel, aren't you afraid of scaring Rui Qing's sweetheart?"

Huan Yi put his hands together and said, "A woman who can tolerate Rui Qing must be very strong in her heart."

Wei Lang fiddled with the clear water with his hands. He handed the washed lotus seeds to Chen Jia and personally crushed the lotus petals with a wooden stick to squeeze the fragrance of the flowers into the new tea.

Xie Shang pointed at Wei Lang and said, "This boy will be a henpecked husband sooner or later. When will he do these things for a woman?"

Wang Meng sighed and said, "It's over. A pervert who falls in love has lost his mind."

Wei Lang glanced at them and handed the new tea to Chen Jia, "Drink it to get rid of the summer heat."

Chen Jia drank tea obediently. She knew that this was the main venue for today and there were some things and some words that she couldn't interrupt.

Wei Lang nodded with satisfaction and looked at Xie Shang, who was in the lead. "Wenxuan, what do you think about the Northern Expedition?"

Xie Shang put away his joking smile and sighed, "The cost of carriages, horses, food and fodder is huge, why bother?"

Wei Lang shook his head in disagreement. "The troops in the north are strong. We have lost the horse farms in the northwest. How can the quality of the Bashu horse farms be compared with the grasslands? Since the quality of the war horses is poor, we must be prepared in terms of people."

Huan Yi frowned, "Do you really want to create a Northern Army in Jiangxia County?"

"Sixty years have passed since we crossed the Yangtze River. The horses have long been put to rest in the mountains, the weapons are worn out, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit. If we want to avoid being invaded by the north, we must spend another twenty years to rebuild the army. The Northern Army is a must."

"But where will the troops come from?"

"The strength of the Qihuo Army has been revealed in the battle of Shouchun. We might as well use this."

"The beggars? The refugees? Isn't this inappropriate?"

Wei Lang smiled and pointed at Chen Jia. "As for the fighting capacity of the Beggars' Army and whether they can be recruited, you should ask my Yi Yi. She has experienced the fall of Shouchun City and the support and protection of the Beggars' Army along the way. No one knows the Beggars' Army better than her."

After Wei Lang finished speaking, everyone looked at Chen Jia. They all knew that Chen Jia and Chen Jue had been begging all the way back to Beijing. Along the way, they met the Beggars Army and got along very well with this group of refugees.
