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

The morning sun shines through the mottled leaves and shines on the streets and alleys of the capital. Chen Jue and Chen Jia walk hand in hand in the bustling market. They decide to buy some new furniture for their home and start a sweet and warm life after marriage.

The market was crowded and noisy. There were all kinds of stalls, filled with all kinds of goods. Chen Jia was wearing a light pink gauze skirt, the hem of which fluttered in the wind, like a blooming peach blossom. Her face was filled with a happy smile, her eyes were shining with excitement, and she looked around curiously like a child. Chen Jue was wearing a dark blue robe, with an upright posture and elegant demeanor. He held Chen Jia's hand tightly, his eyes full of pampering, and he kept an eye on the crowd around him, fearing that Chen Jia would be squeezed.

"Xiaojue, look over there! Those furnitures look so exquisite." Chen Jia said excitedly, pointing to a stall not far away filled with wooden furniture. The stall was filled with carved tables and chairs, exquisite screens and quaint cabinets, each of which exuded a unique charm.

Chen Jue looked in the direction Chen Jia pointed and said with a smile, "Let's go over and take a look." They walked through the crowd and came to the stall. Chen Jia gently stroked a carved table. The delicate touch and exquisite pattern made her love it. "This table is so beautiful. It must be nice to put it in our yard for drinking tea." She turned to look at Chen Jue, her eyes full of expectation.

Chen Jue looked at the table carefully, nodded and praised: "Sister, you have a good eye. The craftsmanship of this table is indeed exquisite, and the patterns are carved vividly." He asked the stall owner: "How much is this table?" The stall owner was an honest middle-aged man, and he smiled and replied: "Sir, this table is made of top-grade mahogany, and the price is fifty taels of silver."

Chen Jia frowned slightly, thinking the price was a bit high. Chen Jue saw what she was thinking and said to the stall owner with a smile: "Boss, can the price be lower? We really like this table." The stall owner looked embarrassed, and after some bargaining, he finally sold it for forty taels of silver.

Chen Jia laughed happily, "Xiao Jue, you are awesome!" Chen Jue responded with a smile, "As long as my sister likes it, it's worth it no matter how expensive it is." They also picked out a few matching chairs and a small screen, paid the money, and asked the stall owner to help deliver them to the Duke's Mansion.

After buying furniture, Chen Jue and Chen Jia continued to stroll around the market. Chen Jia saw a stall selling jewelry and pulled Chen Jue over. The stall was filled with all kinds of beautiful hairpins, earrings and bracelets, shining brightly in the sun. Chen Jia picked up a butterfly-shaped hairpin, which was inlaid with colorful gems, and the texture on the wings was clearly visible, as if a real butterfly was dancing.

"Xiao Jue, look at this hairpin, it's so beautiful!" Chen Jia's eyes sparkled with surprise.

Chen Jue smiled and said, "Sister, you will look very beautiful wearing it. Boss, how much is this hairpin?" The stall owner was a young woman. She smiled and said, "Sir, this hairpin is a fine product in our store. It costs twenty taels of silver." Chen Jue paid without hesitation, picked up the hairpin and gently inserted it into Chen Jia's bun, "Sister, you are as beautiful as this butterfly." Chen Jia's cheeks flushed slightly and she smiled sweetly.

Time passed quietly in the joyful shopping, and in the blink of an eye, night fell. The night market in Beijing was decorated with lights and was very lively. Chen Jue and Chen Jia came to the night market, which was brightly lit and crowded. There were all kinds of snack stalls on both sides of the road, and the aroma was fragrant and mouth-watering.

"Wow, Xiaojue, it's so lively here! It feels like a festival." Chen Jia looked at everything around her excitedly, with a bright light shining in her eyes.

"Sister, let's go eat something first. I can smell the aroma." Chen Jue said with a smile, and he pulled Chen Jia to a skewers stall. The stall was filled with golden roasted meat and vegetable skewers, sizzling and exuding an enticing aroma.

"Boss, give me ten skewers of lamb and five skewers of grilled leeks." Chen Jue said. The boss responded enthusiastically: "Okay! Sir and Madam, please wait a moment." After a while, the grilled skewers were ready. Chen Jue picked up a skewer of lamb and handed it to Chen Jia, "Sister, try this, it's a specialty of the night market." Chen Jia took the skewer of lamb and took a bite. The tender and juicy lamb spread in her mouth and tasted great. "Well, it's delicious! Xiaojue, you try it too." She said to Chen Jue with a smile.

After eating the skewers, they tasted other snacks, including sweet sugar-fried chestnuts, soft and glutinous bean paste cakes, sour and spicy cold noodles, etc. They praised every snack, and they ate while walking around, enjoying the happiness brought by the food.

"Sister, look, there are lantern riddles over there, let's go over and take a look." Chen Jue pointed to a place not far away that was full of lanterns and said. They walked over and saw that each lantern had a lantern riddle hanging on it, and there were many people around, all guessing the lantern riddles. If they guessed correctly, they would get a small gift prepared by the stall owner.

Chen Jue and Chen Jia also joined the riddle guessing. Chen Jue looked at a riddle and whispered: "Curved vines climb up the frame, strings of pearls hang on it. (Guess a fruit)" He thought for a while, smiled and said to Chen Jia: "Sister, I guess it's grapes, what do you think?" Chen Jia nodded in agreement: "I think it's grapes too, go tell the stall owner." Chen Jue walked up to the stall owner and told him the answer. The stall owner smiled and said: "Young master, you guessed it right, this is the prize for you." Then he handed Chen Jue a beautiful sachet.

They guessed a few more lantern riddles, won some small gifts, and had a great time. Just as they were immersed in the fun of guessing lantern riddles, they suddenly heard a cheer.

"Fireworks!" someone in the crowd shouted. They looked up and saw colorful fireworks blooming in the night sky. The fireworks bloomed in the night sky, some like blooming flowers, colorful; some like shooting stars across the sky, dazzling; some like golden waterfalls, rushing down. The fireworks lit up the entire night sky and reflected the happy faces of the people.

Chen Jue and Chen Jia held hands and stood in the crowd, looking up at the fireworks in the sky. Chen Jia's eyes were filled with tears of emotion, and she turned to look at Chen Jue, "Xiao Jue, these fireworks are so beautiful! Just as gorgeous as our love." Chen Jue held Chen Jia's hand tightly and said affectionately, "Sister, with you by my side, every moment is as beautiful as these fireworks."

Under the fireworks, their figures were reflected in a particularly warm light. People around were cheering, children were running and playing in the crowd, and couples were cuddling each other, enjoying this wonderful moment. Chen Jue and Chen Jia were also immersed in this joyful atmosphere, their hearts were filled with happiness and sweetness.

"Xiao Jue, let's go over there and play pot-tossing." Chen Jia pointed to a pot-tossing game booth not far away and said. They came to the booth and saw several pots on the ground with some arrows next to them. The rules of the game were to throw arrows into the pots, and the one who hit the most arrows won.

Chen Jue picked up an arrow, aimed at the mouth of the pot, and threw it gently. The arrow fell steadily into the pot. "Xiao Jue, you are so good!" Chen Jia smiled and applauded. Chen Jue smiled and said, "Sister, you should try it too." Chen Jia picked up an arrow and threw it out nervously. The arrow flew past the mouth of the pot. "It's okay, sister, just try a few more times." Chen Jue encouraged. With Chen Jue's encouragement, Chen Jia gradually mastered the skills and shot a few arrows.

After playing pot throwing, they played games such as ring toss and archery, winning many small prizes. Their laughter echoed in the night market, attracting the attention of people around them.

Unconsciously, it was late at night. Chen Jue and Chen Jia left the night market hand in hand, full of joy and happiness. The lights in the night market were still brilliant, and the fireworks were still blooming in the night sky, but they knew that the best moment was every minute and every second they were together.

Back at the Duke's Mansion, they sat in the courtyard and looked at the stars in the sky. Chen Jia leaned on Chen Jue's shoulder and said softly, "Xiao Jue, I'm really happy today. I hope we can do this more often in the future." Chen Jue hugged Chen Jia and said gently, "Sister, as long as you like, we can often go out to the night market and create more beautiful memories together."

In the night sky, the stars twinkled, as if blessing the happy couple. They fell asleep in a sweet atmosphere, and in their dreams they still dreamed of the bustling night market, the gorgeous fireworks and each other's warm smiles.
