Chapter 63 To All Brothers: You Should Be Cautious About the Marriage of Godbrothers

【original】 Dear Brothers: On the morning of the 16th, I received a letter from November 12th, a letter from my father, and a letter from each of my four younger brothers. I am very happy to know everything!The poems of the fourth brother have improved again, but the meaning of the first order is not very superb, and the tone is not very loud.The high meaning of fate needs to pass through one layer. For example, if we talk about exams, we must say that the name of the subject is something outside the body.If you say that you must be honored by the name of the subject, it means little.Take this end, I can analogize.The tone is based on reading more poems, and the sound will be loud if you are familiar with it.

Last year, I personally bought the pens sent by Shulitang. At present, Chunguangzui costs 500 cash per pen, so I can't send them again.The Han Bi can still be sent, but it must be sent after the Wushu meeting next year, and some people will return to the south, so it cannot be sent in the spring. Reading at fifty is good, but it is not appropriate to delay one's homework; a woman's lack of talent is virtue, and this statement is not false. My family wants to marry me, but I don't want to, because I heard that Brother Chang is best to rely on his father's authority, be a majestic, wear bright clothes, and serve Henghe, ① I am afraid that the daughters of his family will have eunuchs' arrogance and extravagance, disrupt my family rules and seduce me. The children are so extravagant.Today, I want to get married again and again, and I send out five or eight characters, fearing that my family wants to be my in-laws, not my younger brother.This statement must be made explicit.

I don't dare to make decisions about my brother's marriage, but what about the in-laws?It is also necessary to find out from the Wang San Office.If you smoke opium, it is absolutely wrong.If there is no such thing, then everyone in the hall and younger brothers can do it independently.The so-called Hantang scholar, his father and son should not be close to each other. I have seen it before, and I think Hengyang people also know it. If you want to match up, you can also hire another matchmaker. The letter of the sixth brother Jiuyue, because of his recent ills, is quite self-aware, and he just works hard to heal himself.And it is still said that venting vents all day long, this is what I don't understand.

My younger brother doesn't need to take care of family affairs. When the sky is broken, Nuwa takes care of it. When the flood is severe, King Yu takes care of it.The adults in the class are in charge of family affairs, and I am in charge of foreign affairs. The younger generation should only take care of their homework, why bother to ask other things?As for the clan marriage party, no matter whether there is a gap between him and me, we should only love and respect him in the younger generation.Confucius said: "Xun loves everyone, and he is benevolent." Mencius said: "If you love people and don't be close, you will be benevolent; if you don't answer when you are courteous, you will be respectful." Not everyone is an enemy. In ancient times, there are no sages who are enemies with clans and township parties. Brothers must not blame others.

Xinyan in November: It is very good to watch and read "Historical Records"!But you must be persistent in doing things. It can't be said that even if you leave the book in the exam, you must read every sentence from the beginning to the end.If you can read "Historical Records" next year, you can read unlimited books in the future, and you don't have to ask whether you want to study or not.My virtuous brother has seen something about Yuan's poems and writing. However, empty words are useless, and more poems need to be written, and more posts can be used for talking.For example, if a person wants to go to Beijing and can't do it, but talk about the journey to Beijing at home, is it beneficial?That is to say, Jinjin ③, who can get it and believe it?

The letter of the ninth younger brother, so those who advise me are very eager, and after looking at it, I don't feel creepy ④!However, I work hard, keep my feet on the ground, and dare not deceive others. If I do this, I will not be a foreign official. In the future, I will be successful in moral writing.But the news in the provincial capital is growing day by day, even I don't know where it comes from.In the capital, I was afraid that the name would be superficial to the truth, so I didn't pay homage to anyone first, and I didn't boast about myself. Come to write the big field questions and list letters. I have known it since September, but I don’t know the people who are in the forefront of the county examination and enter the school.When you write letters in the future, you must detail all these trivial matters, as well as the situation of the nearby Qi family.

Ji Dixin is also modest and lovely, but mere modesty is not good, you must always work hard to move forward.The fourth and sixth younger brothers don't want to be self-reliant, but don't they want to be bad for the younger brother?Yu Buxuan, brother Guofan hand tools. (December 18, Daoguang 24th year) 【Note】 ① Genhe: That is prominent. ②Xiexie: leisurely, indifferent. ③Jinjin: The words are interesting and eloquent. ④ Horror: Fear, fear. 【Translation】 Brothers: On the morning of the 16th, I received a letter sent on November 12th, including a letter from my father and a letter from each of my four younger brothers. I know everything, and I am very happy!The poems of the fourth brother have improved again.It's just that the conception of the poem is not very superb, and the tone is not very loud.If the intention is to be high, it must be raised to a higher level.As for the examination style, it should be said that the name of the subject is something outside the body, not enough to make a person worry about it, so the intention is higher.If it is said that it is an honor to obtain a department name, then the meaning is superficial.Take this example, and the rest can be deduced by analogy.The problem of low tone should be solved by reading more poems. If you are familiar with ancient poetry, your tone will naturally sound!

I also bought the pen sent by Shutang last year. "Chunguangzui" brand is currently worth a lot of money and hundreds of articles, so it is really impossible to send it anymore. "Hanbi" can still be mailed, but only after the exam next year will those who can afford it go back to Hunan, and it is impossible to send it in the spring. Reading at fifty is good, but you can't delay your homework because of it.It is true that a woman's ignorance is virtue. The Chang family wants to marry me, but I don't want to, because Chang Shixiong likes to bully others with his father's power, and his clothes are too gorgeous, and his servants hug him. His arrogance and extravagance will break my family's rules and lure my children to extravagance. Now that he wants to marry again and again, he will send his armor to go. I'm afraid his family wants to be in-law with me, not with my younger brother. I can't help but tell you this.

I don't dare to make decisions about my brother's marriage, but what about the in-laws?I also want to ask Wang San to check his innocence. If he eats opium, it is absolutely impossible to be married.If there is no such thing, then listen to the adults and younger brothers in the hall to be independent, the so-called scholar named Hantang, his father and son should not get close to him, I have seen it before, and some people in Hengyang know his details.If you want to match each other, you can also ask a matchmaker. The letter from the sixth brother, September, is very self-aware of his own recent problems, and he just worked hard to cure them.But he also said that he was idle all day long and had nothing to do, which made me puzzled.

The younger brothers don't have to take care of the family affairs.When the sky is broken, I have Nuwa to mend the sky. When the flood is big, I have Prince Yu to control the flood. The family affairs are taken care of by the adults in the hall, and I take care of the outside affairs. Brothers should only take care of their own homework. Why bother to ask? What about other things?As for the people in the clan, the people on the uncle’s side, no matter whether he has a quarrel with us or not, it is only suitable for you to love and respect them all.Confucius said: "Love the people, and get close to those who have benevolence and righteousness." Mencius said: "I love others, but they don't get close to me. I have to reflect on myself, whether my benevolence is not enough; we treat others with courtesy But others ignore me, so I have to reflect on myself, whether my good looks are not thoughtful." If I don't manage the housework now, if I still feel resentful, and I will be the head of the family and start a business in the future, wouldn't everyone become enemies?Since ancient times, there have been no sages and sages who have made enemies with the clan and the township party. Brothers, don't always blame others.

The letter in November said: I am reading "Historical Records" now, which is very good, but you must have perseverance in doing things. You can't just leave the book you haven't finished just because the exam is coming soon.It must be read from beginning to end, sentence by sentence.If you can read "Historical Records", then you can read books in the future, you can't limit it, and you don't have to ask if you have improved. My brother also has some opinions when discussing Yuan poetry and calligraphy.But empty talk is of no benefit, you must write more poems and copy more posts before you can talk about it.For example, if someone wants to go to the capital, what good is it to sit at home and talk about the journey to Beijing?Even if you say it with gusto, who will believe it? Ninth brother's letter is very persuasive to me, after reading it, I feel horrified.But I work hard, really down-to-earth, and dare not deceive others in the slightest.If you continue to do this, even if you don’t want to be a foreign official, you must be successful in your moral writing in the future. The superiors dare not deceive the world and the adults in the hall, and the subordinates dare not deceive the younger brothers and sons.And my reputation in the provincial capital is getting higher and higher, even I don't know that it started from asking, I'm in the capital, I'm afraid that the reputation exceeds the actual, so I don't pay homage to someone first, I don't brag a word, It is shameful to be praised beyond reason. The topic of the letter written and the news of the announcement of the rankings have already been known here in September, but the top few in the county examination and the people who entered the school are still unknown.Brothers, when you write letters in the future, you must write down these trivial matters and the situation of the relatives nearby in detail one by one. Ji Di's letter is also humble and cute.But mere modesty is not good, you must always work hard to make progress. The whole responsibility lies in being the elder brother's advocator and setting an example. I have nothing to recommend, but recently I have been persevering in doing things and studying every day, which can be used as an example for my younger brothers.The fourth and sixth brothers don't want to be self-reliant, so aren't they afraid of making a bad appearance in front of Ji? The rest will not be said one by one.Brother Guofan hand tools. (December 18, Daoguang 24th year)
