Because Mr. Yu Daiqing returned to the south, he paid for preserved deer. He thought that the venison would be difficult to send far away for the delicacy of the adults in the hall. It's different, if there is anything, I will come to Beijing with it, and I hope it will be attached to the tea cloth.The tea should be bought in Shuifeng during the Qingming period of Zhu Yao's class, and the price is cheap, and the tea is also good. The cloth at home is attached to this question, and it is very useful, but the family's expenses are tight, and there is no money to buy it.

Li Bifeng from the same county, if it's unbearable, the male representative is Zhang Luo, who has already found a school, with a monthly student salary of three taels of silver.I will live in the men's quarters for three months, and the cost is not much, but he is grateful and difficult to name. The location of the hall has not yet been determined, but it may be possible.Knowing everything in Beijing is prudent, that is to say, parents and adults are blessed and safe, (the seventh day of the first lunar month in the 22nd year of Daoguang) 【Note】 ① Xinzheng: refers to the first month of the new year.

This year's new year, the weather is sunny, warmer than last year's first month. Because Mr. Yu Daiqing went back to the south, he paid for preserved deer for the adults in the hall to eat. Because of the long distance, the venison was smoked and cured.Now there are smoked bacon, pig tongue, pig heart, cured fish, etc., just like at home, if someone comes to the capital, I hope it will only come with tea and big cloth.The tea should be entrusted to Zhu Yaojie to buy it in Yongfeng during the Qingming Festival. The price is cheap, and the tea is also good. The cloth at home is attached here, which is very useful, but the family is poor and has no money to do these things.

Li Bifeng from the same county was unbelievable in the past, and his son, Zhang Luo, has found a place to teach on his behalf.He will live with his son for three months, and the cost is not much, but he is very grateful. The venue has not yet been determined, and it will probably be successful. In Beijing, he knows everything to be careful, and he asks his parents and adults to be safe and happy.
