【original】 Sun Nan Guofan is fragile Grandparents and adults are blessed and safe.On April 21st, I received Renyin's No. 2 family letter, a handwritten letter from my grandfather, father and uncle, and my two younger brothers' letters and poems. You are very happy to be safe.For a wanderer, the most important thing is the word "safety", and the uncle is responsible for the birthday utensils. Brothers are grateful, so why do you want to repay? Xiangtan paint, you must bring more, it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity of this thing, you should not invite others to buy it together, otherwise there will be fraud.During the provincial examination, ask your friends how to look at lacquer, and if you ask more, you will know a thing or two.If you invite people to the paper shop when you are about to buy, you will feel guilty.If you don't know how to look at lacquer, you don't need to buy too much this year. You should pay attention to familiarity next year and buy it later. When painting new life utensils this year, the grandparents' life utensils must be repainted.In the future, paint will be added once a year, and four pieces will be added at the same time. It is estimated how much the paint will cost each year. It is very easy to write a letter to Beijing and pay it to the provincial capital. After all, it is empty text.Sun Yizong mainly uses thick paint, adding from one layer to dozens of layers, the thicker the stronger, it is not necessary to use more porcelain gray linen, etc., for fear that it will not stick to the paint, and it will peel off after a long time. Sun Weiwei is particular about experience, he does not know how to do his best.I hope that the fourth brother will write a letter to tell you in detail what to do at home, and I hope that the uncle will teach the younger brothers and manage the family affairs.

When Brother Xin Zhai was leaving last year, he said that he would send twenty-eight taels of silver to my family when he arrived in the county. Sun Yin feared that the family would be difficult at the end of the year because of the money that his tenth uncle had given him, so he transferred it to Xin Zhai Tong. Now that Qu has not sent it, there is no need to borrow it from him.There is no shortage of supplies for the family. The first one that the grandson is most assured of is that the grandson has borrowed two hundred taels of silver in Beijing. It is very easy to move here, so he is not very embarrassed.

The two great-grandsons and sisters are in good health. On the 3rd of April, they have been inoculated with vaccinia. They are absolutely safe. They are officials in Guangzhou. Xiangtan and Changsha all have vaccinia bureaus, but unfortunately no one in the countryside knows about it. Yingyi captured Ningbo Prefecture and Dinghai Zhenhai County in Zhejiang Province last year, and withdrew from Ningbo this year. It is a shame to capture Zhapu.Sun Jin reported. (Daoguang 20th April 27th) 【Note】 ① treachery: traitorous, fraudulent disadvantages ② TongNiao: embezzling and borrowing money from each other.

【Translation】 Sun Er Guofan kneels to report Grandparents and adults are blessed and safe.On the twenty-first day of April, I received the second letter from Renyin, including one written letter from my grandfather, father, and uncle, and the letters and poems from my two younger brothers. The spirit is relatively strong, and the family is safe, young and old, very happy!When you are away, the most important thing is the word "safety". We brothers are very grateful to Uncle Cheng, who is the agent for the birthday utensils. I don't know how to repay it? You must bring a lot of lacquer in Xiangtan. It is difficult to tell the real thing from the fake. You can't invite people to buy it together, which will lead to fraud.During the provincial examination, ask your friends how to inspect lacquer, and you can learn a little bit by asking more questions. It is not necessary to buy a lot, but to add paint.In the future, paint will be added once a year, and the four furniture will be added at the same time. About how much it will cost to paint every year. It is easy for the grandson to pay for the provincial capital when writing a letter. Most practically, the rest are empty articles. What grandson means is that thick lacquer should be used as the main one. Add one layer to dozens of layers. The thicker the stronger, there is no need to use more porcelain dust, grass cloth, etc. I am afraid that these things are not the same as lacquer. If they stick together, they will peel off after a long time.However, the grandson has no experience in this matter, and he doesn't know what to do, and he doesn't know what to do to make it perfect.What to do at home, I hope that my fourth brother will write to tell me in detail, and I hope that my uncle will teach the younger brothers a lesson and take care of the family affairs.

When Brother Xinzhai was leaving last year, he sent twenty-eight taels of silver to my house when he came to the county. Because of the money that Uncle Ten had given to me, my grandson was afraid that the family would be in trouble at the end of the year, so I borrowed it from Xinzhai, because he had moved my grandson's money. , now that he has not delivered it, there is no need to borrow it from him.The family is still not short of money, and the grandson is the first to rest assured. The grandson is in the capital and has already borrowed two hundred taels of silver.It's easy to borrow money here, so I'm not very embarrassed, but I'm afraid I can't take care of my family.

The two great-grandson sisters are in good health.On April 23, he had been vaccinated with vaccinia, and it was safe. The Guangzhou government set up a bureau to help poor babies without taking a penny.Now send back a sheet of vaccinia method, and present it to the adults in the hall to have a look.Both Xiangtan and Changsha have vaccinia bureaus, but unfortunately no one in the village knows about it. Yingyi captured Ningbo Prefecture and Dinghai and Zhenhai counties in Zhejiang Province last year. They withdrew from Ningbo this year and took Zhapu.Grandson would like to report. (April 26th, 22nd year of Daoguang)
