Chapter 68 To Brothers: Comments on rebuilding the ancestral house

【original】 Chenghou Wenfu's son Zhi Jihong's fourth younger brother: On the ninth day of December, I received a letter from my family on October 12th, and a letter on the tenth day of the first day, with all the information.I have the same opinion as me in changing the house at home. In the previous letter, I sent back the drawing of the whole house. I think it has been received, and the house has been changed. If you write on the first day of November, you don’t have to follow me. It's the picture.But the road to the Triangular Hill must be changed to below the mouth of Tanshan, where bamboo and trees are densely planted in the Triangular Hill. This is what I draw, and I hope you will report it to the hall and do it urgently.

There are some people who don't agree with me when changing the house at home. If it has been completed, there is no need to change it again. However, the sixth brother's house reform is in the stove.It is better not to make the house intermittently in the upper half of the long horizontal house.The inner hut is too far behind the stone pillar house; it is better to drive seven or eight feet into the high sill outside Ji Hong's house, so that the hut can be used as a bathhouse, and the ground behind is spacious, where there are happy events at home and vegetables on the wrist.There is also a place to place it, so that it is not cramped. I don't know if it is possible. The Korean ginseng at home is gone, and it will be sent in the next spring when it is available. Peng Nineteen's Shouping will also be sent in the next spring.There are many things here, and I am more sick, so it is delayed.

Brother Cheng is very quick to deal with thieves, but it will make the rest of the people know that my family is trying to keep the place quiet, not to show off for the family. The common people fear my power and do not hate me for being too evil.After the thief has been dealt with, not only must he not show his complacency, but he must also have a sense of pity in his heart, everyone should pay attention to it. Cousin Zhengyi is very good at teaching and studying in my home. I didn’t write a letter this time to say hello. My younger brothers conveyed it to me. Bao Shiqing, a fellow farmer in Zhouyun, used to be friends with his sixth younger brother. Recently, he was arrested by the Dandu Mansion and handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for drinking at a prostitute’s house. It's really strange that the leather went to serve, and the scorpion farmer Di Zhou still wandered around and did not fear the law!

Yu Jin suffers from eye problems every day, Yu Jukangtai, wife, two sons and four daughters are all safe, the youngest is very fat, and Mr. Pang, the teacher, plans to go home on the eleventh day. When the first month comes halfway, I will invite Bifeng representative office.Song Xiangbin fell and broke his leg on the road, and arrived in Fancheng in more than fifty days, God has mercy!Yu Buyi, Guofan Tecao, (Daoguang twenty-eighth year, December 10th) 【Note】 ① Do: Punish, punish. ② Ai Jing: pity, pity. 【Translation】 Chenghou, Wen Fu, Zi Zhi, and Ji Hong's four younger brothers:

On the ninth day of December, I received a letter from my family on October 12th, a letter on the first day of November, and a letter on the tenth day of the first lunar month. I knew everything about the remodeling of the house at home, and I had the same opinion as me.In my previous letter, I sent back the drawings of the house, and I must have received them.Since the home has been changed, there is no need to follow my drawings.But the road to Triangular Hill must be changed under Tanshanzui, and densely planted with bamboo and wood on Triangular Hill. This is the most important entrustment in my design.

There are some disagreements with me about the remodeling of the house at home, and there is no need to change the ones that have already been changed.But Liudi’s house reform is in the stove, it’s a house that communicates with the inside and the outside, if it needs to be ventilated and not closed, I think it must not be possible, it’s better to make the upper half of the long horizontal house intermittently, and the inner hut is behind the stone pillar house .It's too far away, so it's better to drill seven or eight feet into the ridge outside Ji Hong's house, which can be used as a hut and bathhouse, and the ground behind is wide, where there are happy events at home, and there is also a place to put bowls and vegetables, so it won't be cramped.I don't know if it is possible.

The Korean ginseng at home has been used up, and someone will bring it back next spring.Peng Nineteen's birthday screen will also arrive in the spring of next year.There is a lot of business here, and I have a lot of illnesses, so everything is delayed. Brother Cheng punished the bandits, and he was very happy.However, the relatives and friends of those bandits must know that my family's actions are for the sake of local tranquility, not for their own prestige and power.After being punished, not only should one not show complacency on the surface, but one should also have a feeling of sympathy in one's heart.Be careful, brothers.

Cousin Zheng Yi is a good teacher in my family. I didn’t write a letter to say hello this time. My younger brothers will convey it on my behalf.Bao Shiqing, a fellow farmer from Zhou Yun, used to be friends with his sixth younger brother. Recently, because he was drinking in a brothel, the admiral's office arrested him and handed him over to the Ministry of Punishment, where he was dismissed from his position. It's a strange thing to be unafraid of the king's law. I have often suffered from eye problems recently, but the rest is fine.His wife, two sons and four daughters are all safe.The younger son is fat and big.Teacher Pang Gong, who is going to go home on the 11th, will come back in the middle of the first month, and is going to ask Li Bifeng to teach.Song Xiangbin fell on the road and broke his leg. It took him more than fifty days to arrive in Fancheng. What a pity!I won't say anything else.Guofan Hand Grass. (Tenth day of December in the twenty-eighth year of Daoguang)
