Chapter 157 Reporting to Uncle and Parents · Reporting to be promoted to Bachelor of Imperial Academy

【original】 Sincerely, Nephew Guofan Uncles and parents are blessed with eighty thousand blessings.On the 23rd, the fourth and sixth younger brothers arrived in Beijing, and their health was as usual.On the twenty-fourth day, it was at the imperial gate, and my nephew was promoted to a bachelor's degree in the Imperial Academy.However, four or five times, the officials in Beijing were absent, and those who had not been released at this time were specially released at the time of the Marquis Yumen to show that the nobles were in the court and shared with everyone.The nephew's three threshold officials were all promoted when he was in charge of the gate. He was so generous and generous that he didn't know what to repay.Then the room is safe, the sores and ringworms on the body are not completely clean, but the face will be healed within half a month, so thank you for calling me, and it will be more embarrassing if you don't come to the sky. This is especially fortunate!

The last time I wrote a letter home, there was a letter from my sender Yiran Zongtai, saying that the family of Jinnian Bo in Changsha would send thirty gold to the mother of Xinzhai to lay a ceremony. The family must go to the family to pay for the emergency, and must not lose faith.Xie Xingqi once borrowed thirty taels of silver, and it would be great if it was returned, or the money should be returned, and I begged Nongzhong to find another way. "Also, Huang Luxi borrowed twenty taels of silver from his nephew. I also heard that the family has already received it, but he borrowed a lot of money from people at home. If he didn't write a letter to tell the family, then the family didn't have to collect the caries and cover it outside. Unlike living in the village, living in the village Those who stick to money can get rich.Those who are outside have tightness and extremes, have money and receive money, the so-called door does not come out, and there is no one in the second door. Yu Zhan has a good reputation and can still make a living. If the reputation is not good and he only relies on his own silver collection, it will only last for a year. That is to say, it is exhausted.In the future, those who borrow money from nephews from outsiders will still be sent back to Beijing, and the family will not have to collect the money. If you seek from others, who cares about the response?Between my nephew's money and money, I just want to move around, and I hope the adults in the hall will forgive me.

I also heard from the fourth and sixth younger brothers that my father and I have often visited the county town of Xinglong recently. He once spoke about the graves of Zeng’s family in Jiangshi Street, and the murder case by the monk of Changshou Temple. Products, external release is the standard.If the country gentry is in charge of official affairs, and the local officials socialize, and the propaganda department is contemptuous in their hearts, if they dare to insult, the nephew (meeting in person) will still be an official, but he cannot restrain his relatives and suffer humiliation. What should he feel guilty about?No matter what happens in the future, I hope to persuade my father to never come to the county, and never do anything.The adults in Fuqiu hall learned from this painstaking effort, and Ren always missed this ear.Sincerely, my nephew. (The first day of October in the 25th year of Daoguang)

【Note】 ①Meteor: fall from a height, fall ②(face to face): ashamed 【Translation】 Sincerely, nephew Guofan Uncles, parents and adults are blessed and golden.On the 23rd, the fourth and sixth brothers arrived in the capital, and they were in good health. On the 24th, they even went to the imperial gate, but only four or five times.There are vacancies for officials in the capital, and if there is no release of personnel at this time, they will be released one day after Yumenli, which means that the appointment of personnel will be handled during the impending court and will be decided together with the ministers.My nephew was promoted three times, all of which were specially promoted when he was in the imperial gate.The emperor's grace is too great and generous, I don't know how to repay it.Nephew and family are safe.The sores and ringworm on my body haven't been cleaned up yet, only the one on my face has healed within half a month.So Xie En summoned, so that Yunyue would not leave a laughingstock, which is especially fortunate.

The last time I wrote a letter back, there was a letter from the sender’s family, Zong Yiran, who said that the mother’s respect was thirty taels sent to Xinzhai by Uncle Changsha. The money was originally sent by Luo Suxi and entrusted to his nephew. Handed it over, so my nephew exchanged it with Zhou Jirui for use, and then transferred it from the Zhou family to the Jin family.I just heard from my fourth brother that this money has been used for travel expenses.Then it is resolute that Bo's family's proposal must be paid by the family as soon as possible, and must not be broken.Xie Xingqi once borrowed thirty taels of silver, and it would be great if it was repaid, but if not, please find another way at home.

Huang Luxi also borrowed twenty taels of silver from his nephew, and it is said that the family took it.My nephew in Beijing lent a lot of money to others, and my nephew wrote a letter to tell the family, and the family did not need to collect money because it was different outside and in the country.If you stick to money in the countryside, you can naturally get rich.Being outside is sometimes tense, sometimes loose, sometimes lent, sometimes borrowed, as we usually say, those who don’t get out of the gate, and those who don’t get in through the small gate. It’s all because of their good reputation that they can make a living.If the reputation is not good, the money saved by oneself will be used up in only one year.In the future, those who borrow money from nephews from outside will still be asked to send them to the capital, and the family will not have to accept them.Last year, Cai Chaoshi borrowed 30,000 from his nephew. The nephew had already agreed to make a donation to the Wenchang Pavilion, and the family did not need to accept it. Since the nephew did not believe what he said, who would agree to it when he asked for it?My nephew only wants to move around when it comes to money. I hope the adults in the hall will forgive me.

I also heard from the fourth brother that my father often went to the provincial capitals and counties. He used to talk about the graves of the Zeng family in Jiangshi Street and the murder case for the monks in Changshou Temple.The nephew is a fourth-rank official in the capital, and he is a standard official when he is released outside.All the official affairs that are managed by the gentlemen in the village, the magistrates are not unreasonable. No matter whether you are justified or not, if it is not your own business, you should not participate.You go to him, and the magistrate wants to entertain you on the surface, but he looks down on you in his heart.Suppose he dared to insult you. Even though your nephew is a dignified official, he cannot escape being insulted. How ashamed would you feel?No matter what happens in the future, I hope to persuade my father not to go to the county town and not to care about these things.Even if the tax is paying for these things, only people are sent to do it.I knelt down and asked the adults in the hall to understand my painstaking efforts. The only thing my nephew was worried about was this matter.Sincerely, my nephew. (The first day of October in the 25th year of Daoguang)
