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

After many days of hard work, Chen Jue finally had a rare vacation. He returned to the Duke's Mansion with joy, and the first thing he did was to look for Chen Jia. At this time, Chen Jia was pruning branches in the courtyard. Seeing Chen Jue rushing over, a gentle smile appeared on her face.

"Sister, I'm on vacation." Chen Jue said excitedly, like a child.

Chen Jia put down the scissors in her hand, gently patted the broken leaves on her skirt, and walked forward: "Xiao Jue, you are finally free. You must be exhausted from being busy with many things during this period of time."

Chen Jue took Chen Jia's hand, his eyes bright, "Sister, although it is a little tiring, the results are remarkable. Now the prestige of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is increasing day by day, and many things that benefit the people's livelihood are also being steadily implemented. All of this is inseparable from the concerted efforts of everyone."

Chen Jia nodded slightly, her eyes full of satisfaction: "I knew you would be able to do something. Please tell me in detail."

The two of them came to the pavilion in the garden and sat opposite each other. The maids quickly brought exquisite tea and snacks. Chen Jue picked up the teacup, took a sip to moisten his throat, and began to tell the story.

"Sister, do you still remember our previous discussion about building water conservancy projects? General Shen Yi personally led engineers and skilled craftsmen to travel all over the country, carefully surveying and planning. Now many water conservancy projects have been completed, and water flows smoothly into farmland. The people no longer have to worry about droughts and floods. The scene of a bumper harvest seems to be right before our eyes."

Chen Jia showed surprise on her face: "This is really great! The people must be very happy."

"As for business, the business regulations formulated by Lin Yu have achieved remarkable results. Commercial activities in various regions are becoming more and more active, and merchants are no longer troubled by confusing rules and heavy taxes. Prices are stable, goods flow smoothly, and the streets and alleys are full of vitality." Chen Jue said with a beaming face.

Chen Jia gently held Chen Jue's hand and said, "Xiao Jue, you and other talented people have given so much to the people of this world."

Chen Jue held Chen Jia's hand and said with a smile, "Sister, this is what we should do. Now that we see the people's lives gradually improving, all the hard work is worth it. Oh, by the way, Lord Li has also made great achievements in education reform. Schools have been established everywhere like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. Children can receive a better education and will surely become the pillars of the country in the future."

Chen Jia was deeply moved: "Xiao Jue, I am so proud of you. You must have played a key role in this."

Chen Jue scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Sister, I just did my part. Along the way, if it weren't for the trust of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the help of my colleagues, I would not have been able to accomplish anything on my own."

Chen Jia looked at Chen Jue's modest appearance and liked him more and more: "Okay, don't be modest anymore. You have a day off today, let's put aside these matters and enjoy this rare time."

Chen Jue's eyes lit up: "Sister, you are right. I heard that a new restaurant has opened in the city. The dishes there are unique. Sister, would you like to go with me to taste them?"

Chen Jia readily agreed: "Very good, let's go now."

The two of them, along with a few maids and servants, left the Duke's Mansion and headed towards the restaurant. Along the way, the streets of the capital were bustling with activity. Street vendors were hawking all kinds of special small items, including exquisite sachets, novel small toys, etc.

Chen Jue saw a small stall selling sugar paintings, stopped, and said to Chen Jia: "Sister, look at those sugar paintings, they are lifelike. I remember you liked to look at these when you were a child."

Chen Jia smiled and said, "Xiaojue, you still remember it."

Chen Jue walked over, bought a sugar painting and handed it to Chen Jia: "Sister, try it and see if it still tastes like your childhood."

Chen Jia took the sugar painting and took a bite. The sweet taste spread in her mouth: "Well, it's still delicious."

Soon, they arrived at the restaurant. The restaurant was elegantly decorated, and the waiter warmly welcomed them in and led them to a quiet private room.

Chen Jue ordered the restaurant's signature dishes, including the juicy roast duck, the delicious sweet and sour carp, and the fresh jade shrimp.

Soon, the dishes were served one by one. Chen Jue picked up a piece of roast duck and put it in Chen Jia's bowl: "Sister, this roast duck has crispy skin and tender meat, you try it."

Chen Jia took a bite and praised, "It's really delicious. Xiaojue, you should eat more too."

While enjoying the food, the two chatted happily and shared interesting things in life.

After the meal, Chen Jue suggested: "Sister, the weather is so nice, let's go shopping and digest the food."

Chen Jia nodded in agreement. They strolled along the commercial streets of the capital, entering one shop after another. In a silk shop, Chen Jia was attracted by the exquisite silks.

"Sister, this lake blue silk suits you very well. It will definitely be a beautiful dress if made into it." Chen Jue said.

Chen Jia gently stroked the silk: "This silk is soft and has a beautiful color."

Chen Jue said to the clerk, "Pack up this piece of silk."

Chen Jia quickly stopped him: "Xiaojue, no need, I already have a lot of clothes."

Chen Jue smiled and said, "Sister, as long as you like it, don't refuse."

After leaving the silk shop, they visited several jewelry stores.

Chen Jue saw an exquisite jade hairpin with a blooming lotus carved on the head, and said to Chen Jia, "Sister, this jade hairpin suits you very well. Wearing it on your head will definitely add some lively beauty."

Chen Jia took the jade hairpin and tried it on her hair. It was indeed very elegant. Chen Jue quickly paid for it and asked the shopkeeper to pack it up.

After walking for a long time, both of them were a little tired. Chen Jue suddenly thought: "Sister, let's go to the suburbs to fly kites. There is open space and the scenery is good."

Chen Jia's eyes lit up and she said, "Great! I haven't flown a kite in a long time. I really miss it."

So, they took the maids and servants to the suburbs. The fields outside were green, the breeze blew, and the wheat waves rolled. Chen Jue asked the servants to take out the kite, which was a kite with a colorful butterfly painted on it, and the pattern on the wings was exquisite.

Chen Jue held the kite string and said to Chen Jia, "Sister, I'll let it fly first, you watch."

As he said this, he ran into the wind, and soon the kite slowly rose into the sky. Chen Jia clapped her hands and cheered, "Xiao Jue, you are amazing."

Chen Jue handed the kite string to Chen Jia: "Sister, you try it."

Chen Jia took the spool and carefully let out and reeled in the line to control the height of the kite. But the wind suddenly picked up and the kite began to sway in the air, and Chen Jia became a little anxious.

Chen Jue hurriedly gave instructions: "Sister, don't panic, pull the string gently and keep it steady." With Chen Jue's help, the kite flew steadily in the air again.

The two of them were flying kites and laughing.

Chen Jue said, "Sister, look at this kite flying freely in the sky. I really hope that people can live a life as free and happy as this."

Chen Jia nodded and said, "Yes, we must continue to work hard to bring more good things to the people."
