Chapter 85 To all my brothers: Don't talk about your family

【original】 Chenghou Yuanfu and Jihong's younger brother left and right: On the 15th, I received the ninety-three two letters from Chengyuan Dongyue.I learned that my uncle and I fell ill on the 26th, like a stroke. My family has been in a good situation since the first year of Daoguang, and it has been very safe for more than 30 years.Since the Xianfeng years, every time when you are proud, you will be frustrated.Renzike, Yu Dian tried Jiangxi, and asked for leave to return to the province, which is the obituary of Mrs. Wen Xian.Jiayindong, Yu Ke, Tianjia Town, Wuhan; has a great reputation.In the twelfth lunar month, Nian Wufu was bestowed with a yellow jacket, and that night he was defeated, and the clothes and papers disappeared.In the winter of the sixth year and in the spring of the seventh year, there were three brothers, and the supervisor was outside. When Ruizhou was encircled, the weather was very good, and the first doctor was killed immediately.This year, the ninth brother Kefu Ji'an has a very high reputation①, and on the seventh day of October, he received an order from the magistrate.These four things are all good and bad in the same domain, and sorrow and joy are at the same time, which is inexplicable.

Now the family has not moved rashly, so be careful.In other words, it is unavoidable that the emperor ② sent letters everywhere, saying that Brother Wen's career has been martyred.It is inappropriate and cautious, but fortunately it has not been included in the memorial. In the future, it is planned to be published after the Hubei memorial.At home, as soon as the day of reporting is due, there will be actions. The old-fashioned views of the younger brothers are better than mine. I don't know what is the current state of my uncle's illness?Hereby, Liu Gui will give me a frame of velvet antler, which is what Yuandi gave me last time. This thing nourishes essence and blood, which is far better than other medicines, or it may be helpful③.

The corpse of Digong Xiaoshi has been recovered, but the sixth brother has no body, and there is still a ray of physiology. If they are all dead, the remains of the sixth brother must not be far from Di. Brother Yuan said in faith: "Family should not talk about personal interests." This statement is so precise that it is worth ten thousand gold.All my life, I was not very resentful when I was doing things at home and outside, but I said some bad things, so far I am ashamed and regretful! (December 6th, eighth year of Xianfeng) 【Note】 ① reputation: reputation and fame. ②Huanghuang: Anxiety.

③ Economy: Effect. 【Translation】 Brothers Chenghou, Yuanfu, and Jihong left and right: On the 15th, I received two letters from Chenghou and Yuanfu on December 29th and 30th, and learned that my uncle fell ill on the 27th and showed signs of stroke.My family has been in good times since the first year of Daoguang, and it has been very safe for thirty years.Beginning in the Xianfeng Year, every time something good happened, there was something bad about it, one after another, Ren Zike, I went to Jiangxi, asked for leave to go home to visit relatives, and heard the obituary of Mrs. Xianda.In the winter of Jiayin, I conquered Wuhan and Tianjia Town, and my reputation reached its peak. , On December 25th, I was ordered to reward me with a yellow jacket, but I was defeated that night, and even lost my clothes and papers.In the winter of the sixth year and the spring of the seventh year, the three brothers led the army outside. When Ruizhou merged and turned, the weather was fine, and the funeral of the first doctor happened again immediately.This year, when the ninth younger brother conquered Ji'an, when his honor and reputation were raging, he received an order from the magistrate on the seventh day of October.These four things all happen at the same time, good luck and bad luck, worry and joy come at the same time, it is hard to explain.

Now the family has not acted rashly, and is very cautious.I mean, it's unavoidable to be anxious, sending letters everywhere, saying that Brother Wen has died.That said, it is inappropriate after all. Fortunately, I haven't submitted the memorial to the emperor yet, and I plan to wait for the memorial in Hubei before writing the memorial.The family also waited for the day when the report arrived before taking any action.The mature opinions of your younger brothers are better than mine! My uncle's illness, how is it going?Now I have sent out six times specially to send a frame of deer antler, which was given to me by Yuan Di last time.Deer antler supplements lean blood, which is far better than other medicines, or has some effect.

The body of Digong Xiaoshi has been found, but that of the sixth brother has not been found.There is still a silver lining.If they were sacrificed at the same time, then the sixth brother's body must not be far from Di Gong. Brother Yuan said in the letter: "You can't talk about personal interests at home." This sentence is very incisive and correct, and it can be worth 10,000 gold.I believe that it is not very unnatural and full of fallacies to do things shyly at home and at night.I just said some bad words, and I feel very regretful and ashamed to this day!
