Chapter 8 Respect your parents, do things unremittingly

【original】 Nan Guofan kneels to report Parents and adults, Wanfu Jinan.On April 14th, I received my father's letter on the 9th day of March, my uncle's congratulatory note, and my fourth brother's family letter.Respectfully, my grandfather's illness is not recovering, and it is getting worse day by day. My father and uncle have been serving my brothers for more than three years.The man is alone, far away from his knees, and he has not been able to fulfill his grandson's duties for a day, and the guilt is very serious.I heard that Huadi Quandi's literary thinking has made great progress, Baodi's essays have been revised by Huadi, and they are also traveling thousands of miles every day. People from afar hear this, and they are very happy!

The man's body is not very strong recently, and if he pays attention to it one by one, ringworm will appear on his face.Physicians all say that the heart is deficient in blood heat, so it cannot nourish the liver, the extreme heat generates wind, and the yang energy goes to the liver, so it can be seen on the head and face.Men are afraid of getting angry, so they can't enter the meeting, so they don't dare to put their heart into it, and abide by the adult's training to take care of their health, and go to the yamen to do business every other day, and don't go out indiscriminately when they are at home.Now all the men are familiar with all the affairs of the yamen, and all the officers and men admire them very much.Although a man spends his whole life in the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, doing routine things for the country, he is unremitting, and he does his best in order, which is also his deep wish.

Yingyi is in Guangdong, and this year he returned to invite people to the city; Governor Xu handled it well, but the foreigners were convinced and did not enter the city.Every time the Shu Gang talked about the emperor's fate for years, he robbed the property and began to surrender in the past winter, and the emperor always said it for his ministers.This year's weather, the fruit is Changtai, and the blessing of the country! The sons, wives, and granddaughters are all good, but the eldest grandson Jize was taught too leniently because he was enlightened early.After Xiang has finished reading "Book of Books", please read it again, sir. At night, he will talk about the official history of "Gangjian", about until Qin Shangyang opened the fields.

For the Li family's marriage, the male has already replied to the matchmaker Tang Hejiu's letter because it is too inconvenient to travel in Guiyang Prefecture.In the Chang family's marriage, because the male was born to the female concubine, it is known that the spring is not all.Ji Ze'er's marriage failed many times, and the male was only fifteen years old when he got engaged, so it's okay for Ji Ze to postpone it for another year or two, or ask the adults to choose a daughter from a farming and studying family in the countryside, and the male may marry in Beijing. Determination, it is always based on lack of wealth and nobleness.Although Ji Yun did not make an alliance with Guo Yusan's daughter, they called each other in-laws and brothers-in-law.The second granddaughter did not change Daiyun's second son.I would like to report this news, and Yu Xiang will write it to my younger brothers.Men would like to report.

①Xu Sou: A moment. ②Operator: A fortune teller. 【Translation】 His son Guofan knelt down and sued Parents and adults, Wanfu Jinan.On April 14th, I received my father's letter on the 9th day of March, and my uncle's congratulatory letter, and my fourth brother's family letter. I respectfully learned that my grandfather's illness is not getting better, and it is getting worse day by day. My father and uncle have led the brothers to serve for three years. , day and night, there is no moment to relax.There is only one son, far away from his knees, and he has not fulfilled his duties as a grandson for a day. The guilt is too heavy.I heard that Huadi and Quandi's Wensi has improved greatly.Baodi's article, received Huadi's commentary and guidance, also made rapid progress.The relatives in the distance listened and were so relieved.

My son's body is not very strong recently, and with a little effort, ringworm appeared on his face.Doctors say that it is due to heart deficiency and blood heat, which makes it impossible to nourish the liver. The extreme heat generates wind, and the yang energy goes to the liver, so it shows on the face.The son is afraid that he will lose his temper and will not be able to see the emperor, so he dare not put his heart into it and follow the instructions of the adults to take care of his body.Go to the Yamen to do business every other day, and don't go out casually at home the rest of the time.My son is familiar with the affairs of the yamen now.All the officers under his command admire his son very much, he is in harmony with each other, and his colleagues are also very harmonious.Although my son has been in the yamen of the Ministry of Rites all his life, he does these things as usual for the country.

Yingyi is in Guangdong, and this year he invited people again.Governor Xu handled it well, and the foreigners were convinced, so they didn't enter the city. Since then, there will be no disaster, and the emperor is very happy to reward him.Mr. Xiangming often said that the emperor's fate for successive years had given him the luck of robbery, and he left only last winter.The emperor often said to his courtiers that this year's weather is really prosperous and peaceful, which is really a blessing for the country. The sons and daughters and granddaughters are all good, the eldest grandson Jize, because he was enlightened early and taught him leniently, he has almost finished reading the "Book of Books", please read the points again, sir, and talk about the official history of "Gangjian" in the evening. Go to Qin Shangyang to open rice paddies.

Li's marriage, the son has already replied to the matchmaker Tang Hejiu's letter because of inconvenience in Guiyang Prefecture.Chang's marriage, the son knew it would not work because his daughter was born to a concubine.Ji Ze'er's marriage failed many times, and his son only got engaged when he was fifteen years old, so it's okay for Ji Ze to postpone it for another year or two.Or ask the adults to choose a daughter from a farming family in the village, or choose a son to choose in the capital. They always have no precious habits. Although Ji Yun has no alliance with Guo Yusan's daughter, they call each other in-laws and brothers-in-law, and they have close contacts. , never change.The second granddaughter did not change her attitude toward Dai Yun's second son.I would like to report this, and write the rest of the details in a letter to my brother.Sincerely, my son, (April 16, 29th year of Daoguang)
