【original】 Nan Guofan kneels to report Parents and adults, Wanfu Jinan.On June 28th, I received a letter from my family, which was sent on March 24th. I learned that on the 19th, my fourth brother will have a son. Once it can be preserved, it will be easier next time.When a man doesn't get the letter, he often feels worried, but now that he has the letter, it's like a heavy burden is relieved. At the end of June, someone from our county came to Beijing to donate an official. He said that during the county examination in April, Qu was in the city and met with his fourth and sixth brothers at two places in Pengxing, Qiding and Tradewind. The first person to know was Wu Dingwu.Thirteen years ago, the male was studying in the Chen's ancestral hall. He was enlightened to teach Dingwu, and he was employed by Yang Weizhai. In the next year, he heard Wu Chungang's Dingwu was very energetic.He had forgotten the rest of the top ten and the titles of each game, and later a letter came, begging his fourth brother to write it out.

The fourth and sixth younger brothers do not have good luck in the exams, so don't worry about it; as the saying goes: "Don't be afraid of getting in late, just get in quickly." In the past, senior Shao Danqi entered school at the age of forty-two and became a student at the age of fifty-two.The current Guangxi Fantai Wang Lang, Qu entered the school in the 12th year of Daoguang, and became the number one scholar in the 13th year.Senior Ruan Jiangtai, in the 53rd year of Qianlong, failed to get the first place in the county examination. That is to say, he was admitted to the imperial examination in the 54th year, was admitted to the Imperial Academy in the 54th year, stayed in the library in the 55th year, and ranked first in the 56th year's exam. Compared with Zhejiang Xuezheng, he was promoted to Zhejiang University in 1959.Some small gains and losses are not enough, especially the lack of fine ears in karma.If the two younger brothers are satisfied with the Chinese, they can take the original volume out and send it to Beijing. If they are not satisfied, they can not send it.

There were dozens of large ships swimming on the big river; Jiangning Yangzhou The second government is quite dangerous.However, the sky does not send disasters, and the saints are above, so the people of the capital are calm.Wang Hancheng, a fellow villager, left Beijing on leave. The man and Chen Daiyun also planned to send their family members to Nanxuan to go out of Beijing with the four families of Zheng Weitian and Wang Hancheng. The man and the Chen family originally made plans at the end of June, and later on the first day of July, they asked someone to help them. Act rashly, so stop.Now the male and the Chen family still do not send their family members back to the south.

During the first lunar month, Mr. Yu Daiqing left Beijing. The man sent a preserved deer, and asked Peng Shanqi to forward it. Yu Hou asked Xie Jiren to forward it. I don't know if it arrived?In April, I asked Li Binggang to send silver to send pens, and asked Cao Xiyuan to send ginseng to Chen Jimu. Few, the lower lip is planned to stay until the age of thirty-six.
