These two men were none other than Shen Yu Bei and his personal bodyguard (plus also his personal servant), who were originally come from Jiang Nan.
The last time Gao Han Jin came back from the north and told him about Zhong Ziqi, Shen Yu Bei had his mind set on it,so he had his reliable agent, Hong Ying come over to the north to investigate. Finally he got a result that made him half happy and half worried. He intuited that there must be something here that he was looking forward to. He handed over the matter at hand to his retired father before then he personally made a trip to verify the final result.
So, what was the ...... he wanted to verify?
Well, it started many years ago.
The Shen family business was an ancestral one. It had always done 'well'
( 紅紅火火 ); they were the offspring from a famous family in the south. The family always had the same 'single lineage', even when they had a lot of children,they only had one boy, the rest were all gers. In his father's case, there was also no exception (no surprise), because he (SYB) was the only boy in the family. Since his father was a devoted man who married only one person in his life, his Amu. His Amu had two children, one for him and one....his Ge Ge (older brother).
[红红火火/ hóng hóng huǒ huǒ: booming / prosperous]
[名门望族 ( 名門望族 ) míng mén wàng zú: offspring a famous family (idiom); good breeding / blue blood]
[单传 ( 單傳 ) dān chuán: to have only one heir in a generation (of a family, clan etc)]
His brother was a ger, more than ten years older than him. While he was still a toddler, learning to walk, his brother had already gone to school and was exposed to the outside world. In those days, some biographies were very popular. As a ger, his brother was not allowed to go out on his own, so he always took the opportunity to buy a few biographies on his way to and from school and read them with great interest.
Because since he was a child, 'most of the time', he was always spent and followed behind his brother, 'brother that, brother this'. His brother would also hug him tenderly, making him happy, accompany him to talk, and whisper to him.In his eyes, his brother was like a second father and Amu, who cared for him 'in every way'(taking care of him very carefully).
But he never thought that his brother, who was always gentle and sweet-tempered, would one day be so 'intensely angry'.
It was not long after his grandfather's death that his father had taken over the business, having learned the business from his grandfather earlier in life, but not everyone believed in his father. At that moment, it was the lowest point of time for the Shen family so the business matters kept his father 'busy' till he 'badly burned his head'. Every day, he would come home late and sometimes, he would not come home for several days.
[焦头烂额 ( 焦頭爛額 ) jiāo tóu làn é:
lit. badly burned about the head (from trying to put out a fire) (idiom) / fig. hard-pressed / under pressure (from a heavy workload, etc)]
The whole family was worried. But then, one day, unexpectedly the same father who hadn't returned for a few days, suddenly came back with some shocking news. Their family was going to be linked to married to another aristocratic family with equal standing status.
That was not what surprised them the most. They had heard of that aristocratic family, indeed they were considered to be 'well-matched in terms of a social status'.
