【original】 About Yuandi: I am very pleased to hear the letters of Changzhou Kefu and Danyang Kefu!And there is a saying in the younger brother's letter: "The liver disease is deep, the pain is complete, and you are always angry when you meet people, and you are always worried when you encounter problems." It is too anxious to read.Since the beginning of this year, there have been many cities in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Jinling, and it is still uncertain to be alone in Jinling, and the salary is very poor.Unsatisfactory things, bad words, one after another, I am still warm and depressed and become sick, Kuang brother has worked too hard, a hundred times brother, hard work has been lost for a long time, several times as brother?

Yu Zichun was always afraid that my younger brother would suffer from liver disease, but my younger brother believed in vague words, these four sentences revealed the truth, this disease cannot be cured by medicine bait, you have to look at everything in vain, don't worry or get angry, it can be gradually relieved.When a viper stings a hand, a strong man will cut off his hand, so he will live forever.If my brother wants to live his whole life, he should treat anger like a viper, and he must be brave to get rid of it. I have been ashamed of my younger brother for more than a year, but it will be detrimental to my younger brother to assign Cheng Xueqi.However, it is detrimental to the family and beneficial to the country. The younger brother does not need to be depressed, and the older brother does not need to regret.Seeing that Shaoquan asked Cheng Xueqi for a sympathy book, and made a fair statement, I sent my brother to read it.

The matter of Li Shizhong was completed on the 12th, and the situation was poor, which is the book of the future brothers' retirement.My sick leave expires on April 25th, I intend to ask for an extension of the leave, my friends all persuade me to cancel the leave, what do you think? There are two items of Huaibei ticket salt and tax, and a total of 800,000 skewers per year. It is decided to donate to my younger brother's army. This is also a huge sum of money, but my younger brother still thinks it is not much.In the four, five, six, seven, and eighty-nine years of Yu Xianfeng, there was no one who received 800,000 yuan a year. It is absolutely impossible to raise such a huge sum of money. (April 13th in the third year of Tongzhi)

【Note】 ① 淡: lack. 【Translation】 About Yuandi: Just now I was happy to hear the good news from Changzhou Kefu and Danyang Kefu, but my younger brother said in the letter: "The liver disease has become serious, and the painful disease has formed. I get angry when I meet people and worry when I encounter problems." After reading it, I was very anxious. Since the beginning of this year, there have been many cities in Su and Zhejiang. Dujinling has not been conquered for a long time, and the military pay is extremely scarce. Unsatisfactory things and unpleasant comments have come one after another. After ten times, the hard work has been lost for a long time, and it is several times that of being a brother.

Since the spring, I have often been afraid of my younger brother’s liver disease recurrence, and my younger brother’s letter is vague every time. These four sentences reveal the truth. If you are not angry, the disease will gradually heal.When a viper bites a hand, a strong man cuts off his hand, and only in this way can he save his life. My brother, if he wants to save his life, he should treat anger like a viper. If you make up your mind to quit anger, you must have courage. In the past year, I have been ashamed of my younger brother's affairs, and I have only transferred Cheng Xueqi, which will harm my younger brother.However, it is detrimental to the family, but it is beneficial to the country. The younger brother does not need to be too depressed, and the older brother does not need to regret it.I just saw Shaoquan's invitation for Cheng Xueqi's sympathy, and I am fair, and I am sending it here for you to read.

The matter of Li Shizhong will be concluded on the 12th.There is also a lack of payment, that is, Zhang Ben, who our brother will retire in the future. My sick leave expired on April 25th. I want to renew the leave. My friends all persuade me to cancel the leave. What do you think? Huaibei votes, salt and Like, a total of 800,000 strings are obtained every year, and all of them are prepared to be supplied to the younger brother's army.This is also a huge amount of money, but my brother still thinks it is too little.During the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth years of my stay in Xianfeng, I never received 800,000 skewers a year.If you want to raise such a huge sum of money, you will never be able to do it. (April 13th in the third year of Tongzhi)
