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

On the commercial street of the capital, the "Jinxiuxuan" silk shop was illuminated by the morning sun, with its red doors slightly opened. Chen Jia and Chen Jue stood tall, smiling, and respectfully welcomed guests from all over the world.

Chen Jia was wearing a lavender silk dress with delicate silver patterns embroidered on it. When she walked, she looked like flowing purple clouds, elegant and graceful. She had a pearl-studded hairpin in her hair, which swayed slightly with her movements, making her look even more beautiful. Chen Jue was wearing a moon-white gown, with sleeves fluttering in the wind. She had an ink-colored ribbon tied around her waist, and her sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes revealed a calm and elegant demeanor.

"Sister, it's sunny today, which is definitely a good sign. I'm sure our shop will be full of customers." Chen Jue said to Chen Jia with a smile.

Chen Jia nodded gently: "I hope so. We have launched many new products recently, let's see if customers like them."

Before he finished speaking, several ladies came in, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and walked into the shop with light steps.

"Miss Chen, we heard that you have new goods on the shelves at Jinxiuxuan, so we rushed here impatiently." A lady in pink brocade clothes said with a smile.

Chen Jia hurried forward and bowed, "Madam, you are too kind. We have indeed prepared some new products and are looking forward to your coming to taste them."

Chen Jue also greeted politely at the side: "Ladies, please come this way. Allow me to introduce you."

Everyone followed Chen Jue to the area where new products were displayed, and saw that the shelves were filled with brightly colored, finely textured fabrics. There was a piece of silk, the color of which was as gorgeous as peach blossoms in spring, and it was embroidered with delicate butterfly patterns, as if it would flap its wings and fly high at any time.

"This peach blossom silk is made using a new dyeing technique, and it took many days to dye. Its color is bright and long-lasting, making it most suitable for making spring clothes. Wearing it will make you as charming as a spring fairy." Chen Jue picked up the peach blossom silk and introduced it to the ladies.

The ladies gathered around, reaching out to gently touch the fabric, their eyes full of amazement and love.

"This silk is so beautiful. I have never seen such a gorgeous color."

"Yes, the embroidery is also extremely delicate, and each butterfly is lifelike."

At this time, a daughter of an official family walked into the shop surrounded by her maids. This daughter was the daughter of the Minister of Rites, named Lin Wanqing. She was wearing a light blue brocade dress with white jasmine flowers embroidered on the hem, fresh and elegant, with a noble temperament.

As soon as Lin Wanqing entered the shop, her eyes fell on Chen Jia. She walked in front of Chen Jia with lotus steps and bowed slightly: "Sister Chen, it's been a long time since we last met. You have become more beautiful and charming."

Chen Jia quickly returned the greeting: "Miss Lin, you are too polite. What brings you here today?"

Lin Wanqing smiled and said, "I heard that Sister Chen's 'Jinxiuxuan' has new products all the time, so I want to join in the fun and pick out some fine fabrics so that the embroiderer at home can make some new clothes for me."

Chen Jia smiled and took Lin Wanqing's hand: "Miss Lin has such a refined taste, it is really an honor for our 'Jinxiuxuan'. I will introduce some new products to you."

Chen Jia brought Lin Wanqing to the side, picked up a piece of plain chiffon, and said, "Ms. Lin, look at this chiffon. It is as light and thin as a feather, and feels soft and smooth. It is most suitable for making summer clothes. If it is matched with some elegant embroidery, it will definitely highlight the lady's gentle temperament."

Lin Wanqing gently stroked the chiffon and nodded with satisfaction: "Sister Chen's vision is indeed unique. This chiffon is really good. However, I would like to see if there are any more unique fabrics."

Chen Jia thought for a moment, then took Lin Wanqing to the inner room and took out a piece of cloth from an exquisite wooden box. The cloth was a unique ice blue with faint silver threads on it, like the twinkling stars in the night sky.

"Ms. Lin, this is our exclusive secret starry night silk. The production process is extremely complicated and takes a lot of effort. Under candlelight or moonlight, this fabric will sparkle with charming light, just like shining stars." Chen Jia said.

When Lin Wanqing saw the starry night silk, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes: "This fabric is so beautiful! Sister Chen, I want this piece, you must keep it for me."

Chen Jia smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss Lin. This Starry Night Silk was originally prepared for ladies with taste like you."

Outside, Chen Jue was still greeting other customers enthusiastically. A man who looked like a wealthy businessman walked into the shop, and his eyes swept around the store, finally landing on a piece of brocade cloth.

"How much is this brocade?" the man asked.

Chen Jue stepped forward and answered politely, "Sir, this brocade is made of top-quality silk thread, with exquisite patterns and thick texture. The price is certainly worth it, one piece costs fifty taels of silver."

The man frowned slightly: "This price is not cheap."

Chen Jue smiled and explained, "Sir, look at the craftsmanship of this brocade. Every detail is handled extremely delicately, and the pattern is auspicious. Whether it is used to decorate your house or make clothes, it can show your status and taste. If you buy in bulk, we can give you a certain discount."

After hearing what Chen Jue said, the man thought for a moment and said, "Okay, give me two."

As time went by, more and more customers came to Jinxiuxuan, and it was very lively. The assistants were very busy, constantly introducing fabrics, cutting samples, and calculating prices for customers.

Chen Jia and Chen Jue shuttled between customers, always with warm smiles on their faces, patiently answering every question and processing every order.

As evening approached, the customers gradually dispersed. Chen Jia and Chen Jue returned to the inner room exhausted but excited.

"Sister, business is booming today. Our new products are very popular." Chen Jue said excitedly.

Chen Jia panted slightly, smiled and nodded: "Yes, but this is also thanks to everyone's efforts. We have to continue to work hard and launch more and better products to maintain this good momentum."

As he was speaking, Lin Wanqing walked in again, holding an exquisite food box in her hand.

"Sister Chen, Mr. Chen, you have been busy all day and must be exhausted. I asked the kitchen to make some snacks and send them to you to try." Lin Wanqing said with a smile.

Chen Jia quickly stood up to greet her: "Ms. Lin, you are so polite."

Lin Wanqing walked into the inner room, put the food box on the table, then looked at Chen Jia and said, "Sister Chen, I saw you busy in the shop today, and I admire you very much. I think it would be great if I could come and get along with you more often and learn the way of doing business from you."

Chen Jia smiled and said, "Ms. Lin, you are too kind. If you are interested, you can come to the shop at any time and we can discuss it together."

A glimmer of joy flashed across Lin Wanqing's eyes: "That's great, Sister Chen. I'll come and bother you again tomorrow."

After seeing Lin Wanqing off, Chen Jia and Chen Jue looked at the dazzling array of fabrics in the store and the slightly messy shop after the bustle, and their hearts were filled with longing and expectation for the future. They knew that "Jinxiuxuan" was moving steadily forward on the commercial road of this capital city, heading towards a more glorious tomorrow.
