Farewell with tears, very pitiful!The rate of Wu Laiyi, originally wanted to test the confession, and got an official to support the family. It took more than ten years for the grandson to make a confession, but he could get a classic history. The miscellaneous are not ranked, and there are few good ones. Sun has been away for a long time and has a lot of experience, so he repeatedly persuaded the five to live in the village, to be diligent and thrifty, and not to go out to be an official. Sun took care of the luggage and other things one by one, and made a separate bill for presentation.

【Note】 ① Ji: Hope. ② Feel ashamed in the heart: It means to feel ashamed among people. 【Translation】 Grandparents and grandparents, Wanfu Jin'an, on August 27th, I received two letters sent on July 15th and 25th, including one letter for each grandparent, one letter for each parent and uncle, and one letter for each younger brother. Have a letter, glad to learn everything! After my uncle's illness was confirmed, I was relieved. On August 20th, Chen Daiyun's younger brother sent his spirit back to Hunan on a grain boat, and his grandson asked his fifth brother-in-law to go back with him. Saying goodbye to Shu Wu with tears, I feel very pitiful, Su Wu came here, originally wanted to be an official, and hoped to get an official position to support the family, but the grandson thought that it would take more than ten years to be able to do canon history, the officialdom was turmoil, safety and danger were unpredictable, The official is small and the job is small, the danger is more, every time I see miscellaneous people, etc., they will not end well. Going out to be an official, after a long time of persuasion, Su Wu finally agreed, and the grandson took care of all the luggage and other items sent away, and made another bill and presented it.

The grandson sent Shuwu home. On the same day, Shen Ke gave birth to a daughter: both mother and daughter were safe.During the first lunar month, my grandson sent money back to Hunan, intending to give it to relatives and clansmen. Logically, the adults in the hall should determine the amount. In terms of the importance of giving, many places are not appropriate. Fortunately, the masters in the hall have studied and considered, and it is appropriate to increase or decrease. However, there are too many Yue families, and the other places are dwarfed by others. The grandson is a little uneasy. Rate Wu will be home at the beginning of spring. I felt very ashamed when I went out without telling my family. When I got home, I hope that the adults in the hall will not blame him, and tell the family and people around him not to laugh at him. My grandson would like to report.
