Chapter 22 To the fourth brother, it is not advisable to criticize and ridicule others

【original】 Around Chenghou's fourth younger brother: Brother Yan's children are all dissatisfied, but this is not the case.Those who are afraid of others and dare not make false comments are also cautious.Anyone who likes to criticize others is also proud.The proverb goes: "The children of the rich family are so proud, and the children of the noble family are so proud." It doesn't have to be well-clothed and well-fed, beat people with hands, and then call it pride.But to be self-satisfied, without any fear, to talk about people's merits is to be extremely proud. In Yu's letter on the fourth day of the first month of the lunar month, he said that he must guard against arrogance, with the primary meaning of not taking lightly or laughing at others.I hope that my younger brother will always be fierce, and he will also abstain from his children. (Fourth day of February in the eleventh year of Xianfeng)
