【original】 About four brothers: On the 10th day of February, Huang Xianyuan came to Beijing, received a letter from his family, and was very pleased to know everything. Zhu Xiaoshan also arrived on the same day and now lives with Jiaxinzhai.Brother Yi found a house on behalf of Yi, which is very close to Yu's apartment, but only a stone's throw away.Guo Junxian has not yet arrived, but Yu has made him live in the temple and eat at Yu's house in order to rely on the temple house of Guandi in this alley. Feng Shutang came to Yu's house on the sixth day of the first lunar month, and decided to go to school after the exam, because the child was afraid of the cold in spring.Shutang took the Guozijian Xuezheng exam on February 13th, and the question was about two sentences of shame on those who wear bad clothes and bad food. They didn't think that the world would follow one person's policy. A total of 500 people entered the hall. Shutang's writing is excellent, and they should be able to get it.

Chen Daiyun moved to Baoguo Temple on the sixth day of the lunar new year, and his supporting hub also stayed in the temple.Daiyun was very sad and could not be dissuaded. He wrote a sacrificial oration with more than 3,000 characters, and the rest was an epitaph. I wonder if Chen's house has been sent back?Yu Lanteng sent it too. There are now more than 20 disciples from Sichuan, about 15 students who take the examination in our county, and about five or six students in the same year of Jiawu.However, there are quite a few people who ask for it. This year, I have had more social engagements, but fortunately I am in good health. It is very different from what it used to be, my face is plump and moist, and a little whiter than before.

Tinnitus is also good seven to eight out of ten, there are still micro roots that have not been broken, but it will be completely healed for more than a month.The wife, son and daughter are all good, and the child of the Chen family is also good if he is raised by Yu's family. The sixth and ninth younger brothers study in the south of the city, and get Luo Luoshan as their teacher, which is wonderful!However, it is appropriate to respond to the lectures in the south of the city, and it should not be. The head of the fearful mountain does not think so. The poems and homework I have written are expected to be paid within a few days.The fourth younger brother, Jidi, read from Master Jue'an, and he is good at himself; the fourth younger brother is getting older and has to read ten pages of history books every day.Brother Ji has to read the history every day, but it is more important to review the classics. This year, there is no need to rush to the exam. I will report later.Guofan hand tools. (Daoguang 24th February 14th)
