【original】 About Yuan Jidi: Jidi's disease is like a disease, is he almost cured?I don't worry about Ji Di's easy onset of illness, but Ji Hao's light medicine.I have been away for a long time, reading more and more, and every time I advise people not to take medicine is the best policy.Wu Tongyun is very seriously ill recently, and he has been without water or rice for fourteen days.At four o'clock in the sixteenth night, I have taken care of the funeral, and entrusted me with a letter.Yu Yigai agreed, but always advised him not to take the medicine.Since the tenth day of the first lunar month, I have not taken the medicine for eleven days. Yesterday, there was a big improvement. I lost four-tenths of the sickness, and seven-eighths of the nausea and vomiting.

At the end of May, Xi'an was seriously ill, and Yu Jian told him, "Take the word Kuang Kuang as medicine to treat the heart, and use the word "Buyao" as medicine to treat the body."Xi Nai has been off the medicine for more than a month, but recently the disease has recovered and the cough has stopped; both of them have not taken the medicine, and the obvious effect is great.Brother Ji believes too much in medicine, and his self-confidence is too deep, so I don't worry about illness, but in taking medicine. I earnestly take not to take medicine as a warning, hope Ji Qu will follow it, and Yuan Li persuades him.

The six items discussed in Jidi's letter are all acceptable. It is better to wait for Jinling to recover before returning home.If it is difficult to endure long-term labor in the camp, or to come to Anqing to idle for ten or eight days, waiting for the steamer to return to the Jinling base camp, it is all right.If you can be patient, it is better to stay in the camp for a long time, which is especially consistent with the younger brother whose name is Zhen and whose character is Heng. The rest of the items can all be done, my brother can rest assured. Shanghai 40,000 have not yet arrived, and when the time comes, all of them should be released from Yuanwai.The Eastern Expedition Bureau will only release 50,000 yuan in Jinling every month after 30,000 yuan in July, and it will also fully release Yuanchu at that time.The insurance case of the Eastern Bureau can be approved by itself, and the younger brother's insurance case will also be handled within a few days.Xueqin came to the province today, and Xiaoquan also came. (July 20, the first year of Tongzhi)

Has he recovered recently?I'm not worried about Jidi's easy onset of illness, but because Jidi likes to take medicine rashly.I have lived outside for a long time, and I have a lot of experience. I often persuade others to not take medicine as the best policy.Wu Tongyun has been very ill recently and has not touched water or rice for 14 days.At four o'clock in the evening on the 16th, I have already arranged the funeral affairs and wrote to me personally.I agreed to everything, and began to persuade him not to take the medicine.From the tenth day of the first lunar month to today, I have not taken medicine for eleven days, and yesterday I have seen a great improvement. The nausea and vomiting have been reduced by four tenths, and the nausea and other symptoms have been reduced by seven or eight tenths. misfortune.

Xi'an became seriously ill at the end of May.

Recently, her illness has recovered and her cough has stopped.These two people are examples of not taking medicine and receiving obvious results.Brother Ji is superstitious about drugs, and his self-confidence is too deep. The people think that my worry is not about illness, but about taking medicine. Now I earnestly advise not to take medicine as a warning. I hope Brother Ji will agree.
