【original】 Guofan kneels to report Parents and adults, Wanfu Jinan.On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Shuntian Township tried to release the rankings, Hunan Zhongsan, and Changsha Zhou Yunong Zhongnanyuan.When Shi Wu returned, he originally planned to attach himself to Xinzhai, but because Shi Wu didn't want to take a car, he attached to Chen Daiyun's younger brother's house and took the grain boat together.Yesterday Daiyun returned from Tianjin and said, "The boat is not very good." The man was quite worried, but fortunately there were many people on the boat, so there should be nothing to worry about.

After the brother exams.I heard that Xiao Luo'an Lane is a student, but I don't know how to be lazy?At this time, only the younger brother Ji is younger, and the third younger brother is all over twenty years old, and he mainly reads books.In my town, Mr. Peng Boshu reads a lot of paintings, and no one has paid attention to them since then, probably because of the mistakes in the examination articles.Little do they know that reading and exams are not hindered at all, and those who don't read books are still disadvantaged in exams as before.Brothers in my family, at this time, regardless of whether the exam is beneficial or not, regardless of the work of the article or not, reading is always the most urgent thing.Otherwise, as time goes on, the name of the subject will not be successful, and the knowledge will not be reliable. In the future, you will not be able to find a teacher in a private school.Whether it is classics or history, or collections of poetry and anthology, I always read twenty pages a day.

Since the beginning of this year, I have been reading books every day. Although I am busy with my career, I will not give up my work.I heard that my younger brother intends to study with Liu Xiaxian. Xiaxian has learned a lot from Taoism recently. If my younger brother goes away, I will benefit from it. I hope my lord will consider it and do it on my own, I dare not do it myself. This matter is decided by the ninth brother himself, if he is ashamed to go forward and has the ambition to break the boat, he will travel far and live.If you are stunned for a while, you can live as close as you can, so why travel a hundred miles away?I beg my lord to observe the aspirations of the ninth younger brother and make a plan, and Yu Rong will continue to make a statement.Guofan would like to report.

Since then, no one has paid much attention to it, probably because of the mistakes in the exam articles.Little do they know that reading and taking exams do not interfere with each other at all.Those who do not read books are still not conducive to the exam.Brothers in my family, no matter whether the exam is good or bad, whether the article is good or not, reading is always an urgent need.Otherwise, as I get older, I don’t have any achievements in subject names, and I don’t have a single word of knowledge to be reliable. In the future, even if I want to be a teacher in a private school in the country, no one will invite me.Whether it is classics or history, or collections of poetry and anthology, I always read 20 pages a day.

It should be beneficial for the ninth brother if he goes. I hope the adults will think it over again. My son dare not make decisions. The ninth brother should make up his own mind about this matter. The ambition to move forward vigorously and to break the boat.Then don't take this long trip.If it is in vain to follow one's footsteps, one can live a life nearby, so why go hundreds of miles away?I beg my lord to observe the ambition of the ninth brother before making a decision.The rest will be reported later.My son Guofan would like to report.
