Chapter 598 Brother and sister meet

"Brother? Or the largest grain merchant in Chang'an?" Han Wu was a little confused, "You were implicated by your father and were demoted to a slave? Why did your brother not only not be demoted to a slave, but also become the largest grain merchant?"

Zhao Shuixian sighed and said: "It's a long story, but to put it simply, my brother and my father have different ideas.

My father hoped that my brother could study and eventually get a reputation. My brother liked to do business, so he secretly went into business outside without telling us. In the end, my father found out, and he had a big quarrel with me.

Neither of them could convince the other. In the end, my father got angry and expelled my brother from the family, which meant breaking away from the father-son relationship.

Because of this incident, my brother was not implicated by my father. After my brother learned that my father was demoted and everyone in his family became slaves, he tried every means to save us.

However, it was not successful in the end.”

"Why, according to your brother's current worth, he will definitely be able to help you redeem your life and finally give you a home." Han Wu said, this matter is related to how he gets along with this unmasked brother-in-law.

"Hey, my parents are also to blame for this matter. They were afraid of injuring my brother, so they threatened him with death and refused to let my brother save him. They also said that they would never see each other again, otherwise they would run into him and die in front of him.

My brother had no choice but to leave in tears, but I know that my brother never gave up on us. Otherwise, when we were slaves, we only had to do some easy work every day, and nothing so good would happen. It must be me.

Brother, I’ve taken care of it.”

"By the way, where are your parents?"

"It's still in the hands of the prince." Zhao Shuixian said.

"Ah, if you tell me earlier, you can ask the young master for help to rescue your parents," Han Wu said.

"Let's talk about this later. Let's go find my brother now and ask him about the specific situation."

"That's good. You've done a good job in this matter, so there's no problem saving your parents."

So the two of them went to find Shopkeeper Zhao, whose full name was Zhao Bin. In the past, he was versatile in both civil and military affairs.

But after he was kicked out of the house by his father, he changed his name to Zhao Shang and became a businessman. This was obviously following his father.

Because of this incident, his father was almost too angry to come back.

At this time, Zhao Shang was in a very bad mood, because Cui Rong was too strong today, which made him lose face. At the same time, he was also very irritable. He didn't think Cui Rong was just talking big words and not selling food to them.

During the next harvest, you really won't be able to buy a single grain.

Just when he was walking up and down the hall, wondering what to do, the butler came in.

"Master, there are two people outside the door. One of them claims to be the Marquis of Lantian."

Zhao Shang frowned slightly and said, "What are the people from the Lantian Marquis Mansion doing here? Do they know about Cui Rong's conspiracy? Who is the other person?"

"Another person, he claims to be your biological sister." The housekeeper replied.

"Darcissus? Narcissus is free?" Zhao Shang was a little confused, and then said excitedly, "Quickly, let them in quickly. No, no, no, I will greet them personally."

He has not seen his sister for many years, and he has suffered so much. Zhao Shang's heart aches when he thinks of this.

Not long after, Zhao Shang came to the door under the leadership of the housekeeper. He saw two people from a distance, a man and a woman. He had seen the man before in the trading center. He was Li Feng's personal bodyguard.

The girl is her biological sister whom she has not seen for many years, but she has grown taller and lost her former tenderness, adding a bit more hard work and vicissitudes of life.

"Narcissus?" he shouted uncertainly.

"Brother." Zhao Shuixian ran over excitedly after seeing Zhao Shang and hugged Zhao Shang.

Zhao Shang confirmed Zhao Shuixian's identity and held her tightly in his arms, tears flowing down uncontrollably.

"Great, great, brother can see you again."

"Narcissus also misses his brother very much, brother..."

Zhao Shuixian also shed tears, she was crying with joy.

No one else came forward to disturb them, and the same happened to Han Wu, who just stood aside and was happy for their brother and sister.

After a while, the two separated.

Zhao Shang asked: "Sister, who saved you? How are your parents? Have you been rescued?"

Zhao Shuixian said: "Brother, don't worry, I was rescued by Lan Tianhou. Not only did he buy me, he also gave me the deed of sale. Now I am free.

As for my parents, they are still in the hands of the prince and have not followed me to sell them to the Marquis of Lantian. But don’t worry, now is the chance to save your parents."

"What chance? How to save?" Zhao Shang asked, this was his heartache.

Zhao Shuixian pulled Han Wu over and said, "Brother, let me introduce to you. His name is Han Wu. He is the guard of Lan Tianhou and is trusted by Lan Tianhou.

Today we heard news that the food supply in Chang'an may increase, but both the court and the newspapers said it would not increase, so we wanted to ask what's going on?

Then we will inform Marquis Lantian of the news. As long as the food supply does not increase due to the locust plague, we will consider it a meritorious service.

At that time, Han Wu and I can ask the Marquis of Lantian to come out for our parents."

Han Wudao: "Given the relationship between the young master and the prince, it's just a matter of one sentence."

Zhao Shang asked in surprise: "How did you know the news? Because of my relationship, I don't know whether this matter will be successful or not."

"Why? Don't you agree?" Han Wu guessed something.

Zhao Shang nodded and said: "Yes, I don't agree. Four of the eight major grain merchants in Chang'an are people with the fifth surname and Qi Wang. Four of them are like me, they all started from scratch.

The grain merchant headed by Cui of Qinghe, together with three other grain merchants, wanted to eat the four grain merchants of ours. The other three merchants all agreed, but I was the only one who did not agree."

Han Wu immediately said with admiration: "Eldest brother is really righteous, Han Wu admires him."

"Don't say it's useless. I'm worried about this right now. I believe Cui Rong will never let me go easily." Zhao Shang said.

"What are you afraid of what they will do? Don't worry, brother. I will take him to see the young master now. The young master will definitely find a way to help you." Han Wu said.

Zhao Shang said: "Don't keep calling me big brother or big brother. I can't afford it. You are Lantian's confidant."

Zhao Shuixian said: "Brother, he is your brother-in-law."

"What? Are you already married?" Zhao Shang said in shock.

"Not yet, we plan to wait until the young master gets married before we get married. We can't get married earlier than the master."

"There is no truth in this. As long as you two are in love, I will help you hold the wedding. Anyway, you are already free."

"Brother, we will discuss this matter later. First, tell the young master about the increase in food prices and ask him to find a way to help you solve it. Then ask the young master to help save my parents."

Zhao Shang nodded and said: "Okay, let's go find Marquis Lantian now. I'm afraid Cui Rong will use all means to deal with me."

"Okay, I will go to Prince Qin's Mansion to find the young master now." Han Wu said.
