Chapter 95 To the fourth brother, godbrothers must cherish material resources

【original】 About Brother Cheng: Weishanxi bridge is a bit too expensive, but Nantang can't afford the public ancestral hall.Brother Yuan has made contributions to the country and family, and he has done a lot of good things, but the scale is too large, and the handwriting is too big, so it will be difficult to continue in the future. My brother and I should think about it at any time and try to cut it down.At this time, Xigong's ancestral hall is about to be completed, not to mention the success.It is not necessary to revise the poems of the Xinggang Temple and Wen Fushiheng's two younger brothers, and wait for ten years to read them again, so that you can tell them!

In previous years, Yu wrote couplets as a gift to his younger brother. He was frugal to maintain integrity, straightforward and able to bear second language.Brother's straightness is known to everyone, but his ability to endure is only known to elder brother.Brother's honesty is expected by everyone, but if he is not frugal, brother can't predict it.In the future, Wangdi will put more effort and painstaking efforts in the word frugality, not only for household expenses, but also for building flat expenses and helping people, which also has the meaning of frugality.In short, cherish material resources and not lose the style of the poor family, does my brother think so?

【Note】 ① profile: empty, vast.Here is a metaphor for spending money casually and lavishly. 【Translation】 About Brother Cheng: The Weishan Bridge seems to cost too much money, and Nantang wants to build a public temple, so it is better not to build it. Brother Yuan has made contributions to the country, and to the family. He is very good, but the scale of the construction is too large, and the money and papers are too lavish, so it will be difficult to continue in the future.My brother and I should discuss it at any time and find a way to cut it down.Now that the Xigong Temple is about to be completed, it has become a fact, so I won't talk about it.The Xinggang public ancestral hall and the ancestral halls of Wen Fu and Shi Heng's two younger brothers are no longer being repaired. Wait until ten years later to see them, please!

In previous years, when I wrote couplets to send off to my younger brother, there were two sentences: "thrifty to maintain honesty, straightness and patience".Everyone knows your younger brother's uprightness, but if you can endure it, only the elder brother knows it.The younger brother's integrity is expected; but the younger brother's lack of frugality is not expected by the elder brother.In the future, I hope that my younger brother will work hard on the word frugality, and use a lot of painstaking efforts, not only to save daily expenses, but also to save construction costs. There is also a question of frugality.In short, it's all about cherishing material resources and not losing the family tradition of poor people, what does my brother think?
