Chapter 29 To the Fourth Brother · When meeting officials, be humble

【Translation】 About Brother Cheng: Yuan's younger brother Jinling's army was extremely dangerous; the hypocritical and loyal king led more than a hundred thousand thieves, pounced day and night, had a lot of foreign guns, and there were also Western guns that landed on the ground.Brother Xing Yuan is careful and sticks to it, so he should be safe. Bao Chunting went to Wuhu to recuperate from his illness. Song Guoyong unified the first army of Ningguo and divided it into six battalions to suppress it. There was a small setback.Chun Ting hurried back to the camp, and Kai Zhang's whole army also rushed to Ningguo to defend the city. Although there were many sick people, with the combined efforts of Bao and Zhang, the road might be safe.It was also heard that the thieves carried boats in Dongba to the lakes of Ning County, and took Guowei out of the river. I don't know if Yang Peng knows it?If the navy is stable, the overall situation will not be broken.The letter said that Yu Yuyuan's younger brother, since he loves his talent, should omit his details, which is very true.

Brother Yuan's talent is not only rare in our clan, even in today's world it is rare.However, as a brother, it is always advisable to reward his strengths while regulating his shortcomings. If he knows his mistakes and doesn't say anything, it is not the fault of Te Yuan alone, but the fault of the whole family. My parents and officials in this county don't have to praise their virtuous people, and they can't belittle their faults. When we get along with them, we should be as close as they are far away, between intimacy and estrangement.If he has a celebration, my family must come. If he has official business and needs the help of a gentleman, my family will not come forward, nor will we avoid it.My family has never heard of Qu's confession to his predecessors, and the entrustment of his superior's yamen.This is the case with my younger brother, and I told my sons and grandchildren that this is often the case. When nephews meet officials, they always use the word humility as the main word. (the fourth day of September in the first year of Tongzhi)

【Note】 ①Qing Diao: Refers to weddings and funerals. 【Translation】 About Brother Cheng: Yuan's younger brother Jinling's army is extremely dangerous.The false loyal king led more than 100,000 people, pounced day and night, with a lot of foreign guns, and there were also Western cannons that landed on the ground.Fortunately, Yuan Di was careful and persevered, so there should be nothing to worry about. Bao Chunting went to Wuhu to recuperate, and Song Guoyong led the first army of Ningguo as an agent, and divided into six battalions to attack, with a small defeat.Chun Ting hurried back to camp regardless of sick leave.Kaizhang's entire army also rushed to Ningguo to defend the city. Although there were many sick people, Bao and Zhang fought together, and the road could be saved.I also heard that the enemy carried a boat in Dongba to the lake near Ningjun, trying to rush out of the river. I don't know if Yang and Peng are clear?If the navy is stable, the overall situation will not be broken.The letter said that since I love Brother Yuan, I should ignore his details, very right!

Brother Yuan's talent is not only rare in my family, but also rare in today's world.However, a brother should always reward his strengths and correct his weaknesses.If you know he is wrong and don't say anything, then it is not the fault of Brother Yuan alone, but the fault of my family. My family does not need to praise his virtuousness to the parent officer of this county, nor should he say anything wrong about him.To get along with him, it is appropriate to maintain a distance between distance and distance, neither close nor distant.He has something to celebrate, so I will come to my house.He has official business and needs the help of a gentleman. My family doesn't come out, but I don't avoid it either.Regarding the change of his predecessor and his successor, and the entrustment of his superior's office, my family does not participate in it.The younger brother has done this, and he has to tell his nephews to do the same.Nephews and nephews always use the words modest and respectful when meeting officials.
