Chapter 101 Reporting to Grandparents · Discussing the State of Distress in Beijing

【original】 Sun Nan Guofan knelt down to report My grandfather is blessed with good fortune and peace.On the morning of the 29th, I received a letter from the tenth uncle of Dange, which was sent on the 28th day of the first lunar month. I didn't know that my grandfather had a disharmony in February, but he was cured in March, and he is still in good health. !The fourth brother sent a letter to Pengshanqi on the ninth day of May, but it has not yet arrived, and it will arrive in about July.Uncle Dange's letter said: Last year, Uncle Chu Shan's property was sold to my family, and there were many twists and turns.

"Tianziping borrowed three hundred and forty thousand, but in fact it was only three hundred and forty thousand. Because my family was in a difficult situation, Uncle Dange reluctantly took care of Uncle Chu Shan. He will suffer a lot in the future, so he borrowed money on his behalf. Forty thousand, since last winter, he has not dared to tell my family. Not only did he not dare to tell his grandfather, even before his father and uncle, he did not dare to say it directly. If you tell it in advance, the matter will fail, and if it fails, Chu Shan There is no way for my uncle to persecute me, and my second uncle and grandmother will have no way to support me, and the house will wither and decay, and there will never be a peaceful day. If I tell you later, my family will be both burdened and bullied by him, and my grandfather will be angry. I have nothing to say, no place to be ashamed." So I wrote a letter to tell my grandson about this matter, and asked Sun Yuan to tell his grandfather that the family is in trouble now, and he thought he had no money to pay him for the 40,000 that he gave. .

In August, brother Xinzhai went to the south, and Sun Zaijing borrowed dozens of liang of silver and paid it back home. This item can be returned in about Xuladi, because brother Xinzhai went to the south of the Yangtze River to return.Sun is now in Beijing, and the situation is getting more and more embarrassing. However, most of the people who are officials in Beijing are talking about things. There is never a time of abundance, and there is never a time of cold and hunger.Sun is now decreeing the affairs of the Changjun Guild Hall, and there are not many official records. Sun Ri Nei's health is as usual, and his ninth brother is also fine.Jia San has been ill for three days since May, and although he has recovered, there are still one or two out of ten points that have not fully recovered.Immediately eating fried rice porridge once a day and soaked frozen rice twice, the milk is gone, and Yi still has to eat it.According to the doctor's opinion: "This kind of breast is the most unsupportive." Because of crying at night, the breast cannot be weaned quickly.Congjiao fever and irritability, sleepless nights, unmelted food, and all other troubles have all gone at this time, laughing and eating delicious food every day, and now I am still taking the medicine to invigorate the spleen, about four or five more doses, the body has fully recovered, That is, no medicine is needed, and my grandwife has a cold for three days.Zheng Xiaoshan said: "After taking the cold medicine, you must take some anti-fetal medicine." Now it is healthy as usual.

When Jiasan was ill, the grandson once knelt down and pretended to be the golden body of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva at home, begging her family to fulfill her wishes this year.It is also said that there is a statue of the Longevity Buddha in Sichong, and the grandmother once kowtowed for decoration, and it was also for the third grade, and she also asked for this year's reward for her wish.Li Lin's posthumous affairs were handled quite satisfactorily, and his son could return to the south in Qifuzi, and the officials of the same village were as usual.If there is a letter from the family, I hope that the situation of the five families led by Wang will be written down, and I will sincerely report it.

Grandparents and adults are blessed and safe. (June 29, the 21st year of Daoguang) 【Note】 ①que: Tong "que". 【Translation】 Sun Er Guofan kneels to report My grandfather is blessed with good fortune and peace.On the morning of the 29th, I received a letter from Uncle Dange, which was sent on the 28th of the first lunar month.I just found out that my grandfather was in poor health in February, and he recovered in March. He is still in good health, and everyone in the family is safe. I am very happy!The fourth brother sent a letter to Pengshanqi on the ninth day of May, but has not received it so far; it will arrive in about July.Uncle Dan Ge said in a letter: "Last year, Uncle Chu Shan's land was sold to my family, and there were many twists and turns."

"Tianziping borrowed three hundred thousand and ten thousand, but in fact it was only three hundred thousand, and the other forty thousand was due to Uncle Dange's financial difficulties because of my family's situation. He reluctantly relieved Uncle Chu Shan, and he will suffer a lot in the future. Forty thousand years since I was born in winter, I dare not tell my family, not only my grandfather, but also in front of my father and uncle. Because if you say it in advance, the matter will definitely fail, and if it fails, Uncle Chu Shan will be cornered, and the second uncle and grandmother will be short of support.But this house is declining day by day, and there will be no quiet days in the end. If I tell you afterwards, since my family has been burdened by him and bullied by him, my grandfather must be angry, and he has nothing to say, and he has no place to be ashamed.So I wrote to my grandson about it.I asked my grandson to forgive him for his unavoidable reasons, and passed on to my grandfather that the family is struggling now, and the forty thousand he gave on behalf of me must have no money to pay him.

In August, when Brother Xinzhai returned to Hunan, his grandson borrowed dozens of taels of silver in Beijing, paid it back home, and returned the money. It will be around the end of the twelfth lunar month, because Brother Xinzhai left for Jiangnan and returned to Hunan.The grandson is now in the capital, and the situation is gradually distressed.Most of the people who are officials in the capital are talking here and there. When they are never rich, and never suffer from cold or hunger, they don't need to tie their clothes at home.The grandson is now in charge of the affairs of the Changjun Guild Hall, and there are not many official records.

The grandson is in good health, and the ninth brother is also fine. Jia San has been ill since May 23. Although he has recovered, he still has not recovered.Now he eats two meals of fried rice porridge and soaked frozen rice twice a day. The milk is gone, and he still wants to eat it.According to the doctor, "this kind of milk is the most unhealthy." Because he cried a lot at night, he couldn't be weaned in a hurry.I used to have fever and irritability, restless sleep at night, unmelted food, and all kinds of problems, but now they are all gone, and I laugh and eat every day.I also took some medicine to invigorate the spleen, and I took about four or five more. After all the medicines recovered, I didn't need to take the medicine.My daughter-in-law also had a cold for three days. Zheng Xiaoshan said: "After taking the cold medicine, you should take some anti-fetal medicine." Now she is healthy as usual.

When Jiasan was ill, the granddaughter-in-law once knelt in front of the golden body of Guanshi Bodhisattva at home and promised to decorate the golden body of Bodhisattva; she asked the family to repay the wish this year, and there was a statue of Longevity Buddha in Jingxi Chong. I also want to pay my wish this year.What happened after Li Lin was born.It went well, and his son was able to return to Hunan in person by Fuzi in July.All the officials from the same township are as usual, if there is a letter from the family, I hope to write down the situation of the five families led by Wang.Solemnly tell grandparents and adults Wanfu Jinan.
