Zeng Guofan's family letter 曾国藩 1877Words 2018-03-18
【original】 Sun Nan Guofan knelt down to report Grandparents and adults are blessed and safe.On the sixth day of March, I was entrusted with the imperial edict to take the Han Zhan examination on the tenth day of the first month, and take the examination in the Zhengda Guangming Hall of the Yuanmingyuan.When I heard it for the first time, I was sincere and frightened, and Gai didn't write a fu for a long time, and the rate was also unfamiliar.In the past, the big exam was held every six years, but it has only been four years since the big exam in February of the year of the 19th year.Therefore, when people hear that they are ordered, they are all terrified!

Sun and Chen Daiyun lived together in the garden. On the 10th day of the lunar new year, Mao Ke entered the venue, and You Zheng entered the venue. The title was recorded on a separate paper, and the poetry record was also published on a separate note. There were a total of 127 Han and Zhan people, and they were not admitted due to illness. Five of them recovered from their illnesses and still had to take a make-up exam.The entrainment was found in the hall, and one person was handed over to the Ministry of punishment for punishment, and the rest were all in order. On the eleventh day, the emperor personally reviewed the papers. On February 12, seven ministers were sent to review the papers.First-class five, second-class fifty-five, third-class fifty-six, fourth-class seven.Emperor Sun Meng went to Tiansi and won the first place in the second class.Hunan Liuhanlin, four people in the second class, two people in the third class, and another list.Introduced on the 14th, a total of 11 people were promoted, 5 people were named candidates for promotion, 19 people were granted credit, and those who were promoted were not credited.

Sun Nan received a special gift from heaven, and was promoted to the lecturer of the Imperial Academy, and thanked him on the 17th.The vacancies have not yet been filled, and the vacancies will be dealt with immediately.Other up and down loans, there is a full list.In Hunan, those who were promoted by the university entrance examination, in the second year of Yongzheng, only Chen Wensu, who was the first in the first class, was promoted to be a lecturer by editing.Recently, in the thirteenth year of Daoguang, Mr. Hu Yunge, the fourth in the first class, was promoted to Shao Zhan as a bachelor, and he joined the three grandsons.Sun's ranking is not as high as Chen Wensu's, but his promotion is the same, this is the emperor's extraordinary kindness.

Sun Xue has superficial knowledge and crude knowledge. He received the kindness of his father, which is the virtue of his ancestors. How can he repay him in the future?Just do your best to be faithful. Jin Zhuqian returned to the province on the 21st, and Sun Tuo brought four packages of supplementary clothing with five products, two crystal necklaces, one and a half catties of donkey-hide gelatin, one catty of deer glue, a pair of earrings, and Wai Zhuqian borrowed fifty taels of silver. pay back.Yesterday, Zhuqian sent the third letter. In the letter, he wrote forty taels of silver. After sending the letter, he borrowed another ten taels. The two letters did not match.Zhu Qianqian can go to the province in half of May. If the eldest and ninth brothers are in the provincial capital, they can make friends with each other.If no one is in the province, someone at home will pick it up, or ask the younger brother to bring it to the province if he is happy.

This year's exam is poor, around mid-May, and Sun plans to study in the middle of April.The grandwife is now pregnant and will give birth in July, and the great-grandchildren are doing as usual.This year, I sent an old mother to the apartment, which cost a little more than last year. This time I was promoted, I spent about a hundred taels of silver more;If he has come, the expenses should not be too much. Sun Shishi introduced that if he reported before the 28th day, it was a real Handan report, and he could reward forty or fifty taels of silver.If the report starts in April, it is a false report in the provincial capital, and two rewards are enough.But what about the situation at home?It's a blessing for Fu Si to tell you about it!Sun Jin reported. (March 23rd, Daoguang 23rd year)

【Note】 ① loan: reward. 【Translation】 Sun Er Guofan kneels to report Grandparents and adults are blessed and safe.On the sixth day of March, according to the decree, on the tenth day of the first day, the Hanlin Zhanshi examination was held in the Zhengda Guangming Hall of the Yuanmingyuan.Sun Nan just listened to it, and he was startled and terrified, because he hadn't written a fu for a long time, and his words were unfamiliar. In the past, the big exams were held every six years, but this time, it has only been four years since the big exams in February of the year Sihai. I never expected this move, so when everyone heard the decree, they all felt terrified.

Sun Er, Chen Daiyun and others entered the examination room on the 10th day of the same day in the garden, and Youzheng came out. The questions were recorded on paper and the poems were also copied. People, when they recover from illness, they still have to make up the exam.If the entrainment is found in the search in the hall, one person will be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for punishment, and the rest will be examined neatly.On the 11th, the emperor personally checked the papers.On February 12th, the imperial court sent seven ministers to review the papers, read them, draw up the rankings, and submit them to the emperor for final decision.

First-class five, second-class fifty-five, third-class fifty-six, fourth-class seven.Thanks to the emperor's grace, the grandson selected the first place in the second class, six Hanlin in Hunan, four in the second class, two in the third class, and a full list.In the fourteenth month, a total of 11 people were promoted, 5 people were named waiting for promotion, and 19 people were awarded satin. Those who were promoted did not receive satin. Thanks to the emperor's special thoughts, the grandson was promoted to teach poetry in the Imperial Academy, and Xie Si on the 17th.The vacancy has not been filled yet, and if there is a vacancy, it will be filled by the grandson immediately.For other up-and-down loans, there are all lists.In Hunan Province, only Chen Wensu, who was promoted to an official due to the university entrance examination, was the first in the first class in the second year of Yongzheng.Recently, in the thirteenth year of Daoguang, Mr. Hu Yunge, the fourth in the second class, was promoted to Shao Zhan with a bachelor, plus his grandson, there were only three people.The grandson's ranking is not as high as Chen Wensu's, but his promotion is the same as him. This is the emperor's unconventional thought.The grandson has superficial knowledge and humble knowledge. How will he repay the kindness of his father and the virtue of his ancestors in the future?Just try to be faithful.

Jin Zhuqian returned to the province on the 21st, and Sun Di asked him to bring four sets of supplementary clothes of five grades, two crystal tops, one and a half catties of donkey-hide gelatin, one catty of deer glue, a pair of earrings, and fifty silver coins borrowed from Zhuqian. The taels were also paid to the family. The third letter was sent to Zhu Qian yesterday, and it was written that it was all forty taels of silver.After sending the letter, he borrowed another twelve taels, so the two letters did not match.Zhu Qian can go to the provincial capital in the middle of May. If the sixth and ninth younger brothers are in the provincial capital, they can meet in person.If no one is in the provincial capital, the family can send someone to go to the provincial capital, or if the younger brothers are happy to go to the provincial capital, that would be great.

This year's exam is poor, around mid-May.The grandson plans to study hard in the middle and late April.The granddaughter-in-law is now pregnant and will give birth in July, and the great-grandson brothers are as normal as before.This year, Jingyu also used an old lady, which cost a little more than last year.This promotion will cost about one hundred taels of silver; it doesn't seem embarrassing to move around and borrow money.I wonder if there is any good news from Handan?If the good news has come, the expenses should not be too much. The grandson thinks that if the good news is reported before the twenty-eighth day, it is a real Handan newspaper, and the newspaper can be rewarded with four or fifty taels of silver.If it is not reported until April, it is a false report from the provincial capital, and it is enough to reward the newspaper with a few taels.But what is the situation at home?It's a blessing for Mr. Fu Sizu to tell you!Sun Jin reported. (March 23rd, Daoguang 23rd year)
