Chapter 109 To all brothers, withdrawal and entrustment of silver

【original】 The four brothers: In February, there was a business trip to Beijing, and Yu was blindfolded, so he didn't write a letter. On the third day of March, I received a letter from the fourth house in the first month, and I was so happy that I didn't know everything in detail!This time, my eyes were still reddish, and I didn't dare to write more, so I didn't report it to the class. Everything was detailed in this book, and my younger brother and others reported it on behalf of others. , I didn't tell you in detail, but I was told by my father: "Everyone is thoughtful, consider reducing it by half." However, from what I have heard, there are more than half, and some are less than half. Next time I write, I hope the ninth brother will open Just sue me!

Shoutian's money was taken by the special envoy, and the rest was sent by Jingxin. If it can be retrieved, it can be returned to Jiangmin, Shandong and Hai. A total of half a catty, each with a couplet on the hanging screen, or you can reduce the interest and bring it back when the bus returns.My father ordered me to send a hundred taels home, and I will wait for the bus to bring it back. If there is this item, I can pay back the money of the tael. The tael has already arrived home. He is a decent person. It is not appropriate to blame him, but to be decent Treating him, he will naturally learn well.Sister Lan bought the land, so gratifying!But when you live with others, you should be more relaxed about small things, and don't be annoying.

Ouyang Muyun wants to remarry with me, I definitely don't want to, but he and his sister are born of compatriots, the children of brothers and sisters are like flesh and blood, the ancient way of marriage, so it's different, so the same surname does not marry, Chinese cousin For marriage, the big loss of this common etiquette, such as weeping when marrying a daughter, offering three offerings at a funeral ceremony, and using music for funerals, these are all common etiquette losses, filial piety must be clearly distinguished, the fourth younger brother told Mu Yun with this righteousness, I Xu Dangcheng replied to the letter.

Luo Yungao arrived in Beijing on February 18th. He had a hard time on the road, which was unprecedented for anyone who came to Beijing. On the 27th, he went to the Zhengda Guangming Hall of the Yuanmingyuan for a supplementary re-examination. There are so many things to pay, why is there no letter from home?The poems sent by the fourth brother last year have been approved and returned. I wonder if they have been received?Master Wang Juean's Shouwen, paid about eight months ago.Fifty has been paid for the ceremony, congratulations, congratulations!Zhu's family weather is very good, but I advise him to study less official money, and my family is the same. Xiaoshan received a message, on which there was a word that his grandmother had died, and he was very sad. Living together, there are three people living in my family. Guo Er arrived in Beijing on the 8th day of February, the second class of the re-examination was the eighth.After the tree hall list, he will return to the south, and the choice of teacher in the future has not yet been decided.

In the letter from the sixth brother, it is said that the homework is between Lian Rang and the quotations are incomprehensible. The required books are only "Zi Shi Jing Hua" at home, and they are allowed to take them back by bus. , I asked someone to buy it in Yangzhou, but I haven't received it yet. "Barnyard Sea" and "Sui Kou Jilue" are also expensive, and sending this book to others will help them pay for the car. Therefore, the book is not my brother's urgent task, so I don't buy and send it. Recently, Shao Huixi has chosen Yuanwen, and he persuaded me to choose Mingwen. I haven't chosen the anthology of ancient Chinese because I have no time, but Mr. Yao Jichuan's selection is the best. I have circled it recently, and I can bring it back on the bus. Sixth brother It is also possible to add a circle with an ink pen.

The nine younger brothers have made great progress in poetry, read it for three days, and sent it back with the fourth chapter. The three monarchs of Shutang Yunxianyi City all have their own chapters. Poetry is the way, and each person has a different approach. In general, I taught my fourth younger brother Yuan Jianzhai to learn from Yuan Jianzhai, and my fourth younger brother's pen style is similar to Yuan's. Now, when I look at my ninth brother's pen style, it is similar to Yuan Yishan. There is no other way to teach my younger brothers to learn poetry, but you have to look at it An anthology of a family, you can't read the anthology, in order to submerge the soul, the most important!

I studied Han in Wuqi Ancient Academy, and studied Du in Wuliu. I did not miss a single word of these two schools. In addition, I studied Su Huang in ancient poetry, and Yishan in law poetry. These three schools did not fail to understand a single word. Outside; it is shallow, my method is like this, and my brothers either follow me, or find other methods to follow the approach of human nature to be interesting. I have been very turbulent recently, but I am writing books every day. This year, I have approved Korea. One poem was approved on the 18th day of the first month, and now the second part of Shiji is approved, which will be completed in about April.The books that the younger brothers read, look for detailed instructions, if there is something wrong with the neighbors, look at the capital to let them know, Guofan hand grass. (The fifth day of March in the twenty-fifth year of Daoguang)

【Note】 ①Later: Afterwards. ② Mimi: to bury, cover up. 【Translation】 Exit four old brothers: In February, when the messenger arrived in Beijing, I was blinded, so I didn't write a letter. On the third day of March, I received a letter issued on the 20th day of the first lunar month. I didn't know anything about it. I was so happy!This time my eyes were still slightly red, so I didn't dare to write more, so I didn't write another letter to report to the adults in the hall. I wrote all the details in this letter, and I will trouble my younger brothers to report on their behalf. I intend to distribute the money sent last year to relatives. Afterwards, I wrote letters many times to inquire, but did not get a detailed and clear reply. I just received an order from my father: "It has been carefully handled, and it will be reduced by half considering the specific situation." However, from what I heard, more than half, and some Less than half of them, next time you write, please ask Jiudi to open a list and sue me!

Since Shou Tian sent someone to collect the money, and I sent a letter to remind him, it must be possible to get it back, and then he can pay off Jiang Mengshan and Donghai's accounts. He pays half a catty of Korea, hanging screens and couplets, or can reduce a little interest, and bring it back when the official car returns. His father ordered him to send one hundred taels home, and he will also wait for the official car to bring it back. There is such a sum of money , then you can pay back Shu Wu’s money, Shu Wu must have arrived home, he is a decent person, don’t blame him all the time, just treat him with dignity, and he will learn from it, Sister Lan bought the land, so gratifying!It's just that you live with others, take it easy on small things, and don't be annoying everywhere.

Ouyang Muyun wants to remarry with my family. I am not unwilling, but he and his sister are born of compatriots. The children of brothers and sisters are like relatives of flesh and blood. The ancient people's concept of marriage, so they pay great attention to differences. Marriage is a taboo in secular etiquette, such as crying when marrying a daughter, offering three times during sacrifices, and using musical instruments at funerals. These are all customs that do not allow it. Yun, I will reply to him later. Luo Yungao arrived in Beijing on the 10th day of the second lunar month. He worked hard on the road, something that people who have never been to the capital did not have. On the 26th, he went to the Zhengda Guangming Hall of the Yuanmingyuan for a supplementary re-examination. , but I don’t know how many things to send, but no letter?The poems sent by the fourth brother last year have been circled and sent back. I wonder if they have been received?Master Wang Jue'an's birthday letter was sent about August, and the 50th anniversary has been collected. Congratulations!The weather in Zhu’s house is very good, but I advised him not to learn the style of an official. My family also has a prong. From then on, I lived with my family. There were three people living in my family. Guo Er arrived in Beijing on the 8th day of February. He won the second-class eighth place in the re-examination.

In the letter from the sixth younger brother, it is said that homework should be done between honesty and lenient. This sentence is really hard to understand. The only books needed are "The Essence of Zishi" at home, and they are allowed to be brought back by official cars. The capital is very expensive. I have asked someone to buy it in Yangzhou, but I haven't received it yet. "Barnyard Sea" and "Suikou Jilue" are also expensive, and you have to pay for the car fare to send this book. This book is not what my brother needs to read now, so I don't buy it. "Ancient Ming Wen" has not been selected yet. Recently, Shao Huixi has chosen Yuanwen. He advised me to choose Mingwen. I haven’t selected the anthology of ancient Chinese because I don’t have time. Only the one selected by Mr. Yao Jichuan is the best. I have circled it recently and asked the official car to bring it Come back, Sixth Brother circle it again with an ink pen! The ninth younger brother is making progress in writing poems. After reading it, he was so happy that he couldn't stop jumping. He immediately wrote four chapters and sent them back. The three gentlemen Shutang, Yunxian, and Yicheng all have poems. Everyone's approach is different, so it's hard to stick to one person's point of view to generalize. I used to teach my fourth brother to learn from Yuan Jianzhai because the fourth brother's poetic sentiment is similar to Yuan's. Well, there is no other way for me to teach my younger brothers to learn poetry. I emphasize the need to read the family's special collections, and not to read anthologies, so that I lose my spirit and personality, which is extremely important! I studied five and seven-character ancient styles from Du and Han, and five and seven-character regulated poems from Du, and I didn’t read a single word of these two families. In addition, I studied Su and Huang from ancient poetry, and Wenshan from regulated poetry. Above the five families, it takes less effort. My way is like this. Brothers can either follow my way, or find another way of their own, and do it according to their own temperament. I have been very busy recently. But there is not a day when I don’t read books. This year I have approved one Korean poem, and it was completed on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month. Now two-thirds of the “Historical Records” has been approved, and it will be completed in about April. I hope you can tell me in detail about the books that my brothers have read. If there is something wrong with the neighbors, I hope to let you know.Guofan Hand Grass. (The fifth day of March in the twenty-fifth year of Daoguang)
