This embroidery was given as a commemorative present not necessarily from brothers from the same blood. They might have been cousins, friends or even members belonging to the same
school,association etc.
The heading 愚弟 literally translates Humble Brothers.
Here are the names from the first two 3 name
groups,
Wang Xi Hui, Xu Shou Ren
Wang De Ru, Xu Zu Shou
Xuan Kui, Chen Jia Jin
etc.
The first two Wangs are sharing the same family
name.The two Xus are written each with different characters.
The inscriptions on the two sashes,
Left,
萬福攸同 Endless blessings last all your life
Right,
千祥雲集 Gather thousand of auspicious clouds
(over you)
