My family has had good morals and precepts for generations, but Xinggang's capital teaching, you should especially keep it in mind. I have recently compiled Xinggang's family rules into a Eight sentences say: "Books, vegetables, pigs and fish, early exams and treasures, permanent practice, all eight are good, the earth orders the medicine, the monks and witches pray, and the guests are not kept, the six are all annoyed."

【Note】 ① suddenly: immediately, immediately. ②Charcoal King: The cost of charcoal. 【Translation】 About Brother Cheng: On October 25th, I received the emperor's imperial decree, and the next day I wrote a letter to invite Jize to come to the barracks. After that, I wrote three more letters to prevent him from coming. Have you received all of them?Since the lord accepted the imperial decree to serve as Governor of Liangjiang in early November, he had delivered his respectful resignation on the 16th, returned to his post on the 28th, and made a plea on the 3rd day of the lunar new year.

My fellow countryman in Beijing, this winter's charcoal fee will be broadcast as usual. Yesterday I ordered Li Zhuhan to go back to Hunan to send two hundred taels to the Luo family, two hundred taels to the Li family, and one hundred taels to the Liu family. They used to share with me. For those who are in trouble, the one thousand taels I sent to my younger brother is very small. Since the governor of Liangjiang, I have never treated my younger brother so kindly. However, in troubled times, the more money, the greater the trouble. If you save more cash, enough to cover your expenses for a year, you will be a rich man in the world and a lucky star in the world.
