【original】 Sun Guofan kneels to report Grandparents and adults are blessed and safe.Grandmother's birthday on the twenty-ninth day, grandson and others kowtowed and wished from a distance, and I had a seat for Chinese guests, and a seat for the same county bus the next day.On the seventh day of the lunar new year, the emperor came to the imperial gate, and Sun De transferred to the Imperial Academy to study as a servant. Xu Naizhao made up for the lack of listening to the servant's speech.As a rule, I don't thank you when I turn to the reading of the poem, so Sun Weiju thanked me.There is no heavy snow in Beijing this winter. On the ninth day of the lunar new year, three altars were set up to pray for snow. Brothers four, five, and six went to the three altars to salute, and the emperor personally went to the Dagao Hall to salute.There will be heavy snow on the 11th, inspired by the heart of heaven, and connected with each other, congratulations!

The grandson and others are in Beijing safely, and the great-grandson has a long history of reading; but he is good at writing, and when he sees spare paper, he doodles, so he asked his mother to make a copy. Sun's expenses are still ample this year, and the first half of next year will be fine, and he will make calculations in May.I received Zeng Xingren's letter yesterday, knowing that Qu's money has not yet been returned.Sun is very anxious, and has written a letter to urge him. I wonder if the family will not be in distress this year?The Beijing officials from the same hometown are all the same, and it is also good for Feng Shutang and Guo Junxian to stay in the apartment.

Jing Qi has been away since May, and has not dared to meet her so far. At the home of Chen Hongzhong, a fellow villager, the situation is also good.If you are displaced, Sun will also accept and sympathize with you.Tequ told people that he would rather starve to death than return to the south, which is really difficult to deal with.Sun Ze would rather give him more silver to make him go back, and he does not want him to commit any troubles in Beijing again. I hope that your lord will expressly make a plan for Sun to follow. The fourth brother and others have not received any letter since they sent a letter in July. Sun Shi hopes that Mr. Yan will introduce him in Beijing.This person has always been known as arrogant, and Sun Sihai was at home in the first year of the year, so he didn't care about anything, so he was at peace, and he could return to Xiangxiang to take up his post in the next spring.Sun Jin reported.
