Chapter 166 Report to parents, please send back the scroll to the fourth brother

【original】 Nan Guofan kneels to report Parents and adults, Wanfu Jinan.Within two, three and four days of September, the royal seal was received on the eighteenth day.Ding Neijian, Xiajie Pingbu, a fellow villager, set off to return south on the 20th.Because the man is in plain clothes, it is inconvenient to carry the shaft, and he is afraid that he will pay homage to guests or be delayed.Grandmother is born on the twenty-ninth birthday of the moon. If you send it back quickly, you can still meet Lianzhu on her birthday.The grandmother specially ordered the fourth brother to go out of Beijing to pack up his clothes, and sent Gao Zhou home. Together with Xia Jieping, he planned to arrive in Hankou on the 17th or 8th of November.

It only takes three or four days from Hankou to Yuezhou, and it takes five days to hire a sedan chair to get home.When the fourth younger brother came to the province, he sent someone home so that he could handle affairs at home and meet the imperial order. Things are unpredictable, if the wind is smooth, take a boat, and if the wind is not smooth, take a sedan chair.Fearing that the fourth younger brother may be blocked by feng shui in his path, he may not be able to catch up with his grandmother's birthday, and I don't know it.The family makes birthday wine, and there is no need to handle the imperial seal.If the fourth brother can come, there will be a letter on the 27th, and the drummer incense case will be held on the 28th, and the film can be received on the 29th.If the fourth brother can go to the provincial letter, then a birthday banquet will be held on the 29th day, and the film can be received on the eighth day of the first month of the Ming Dynasty.If the fourth brother does not return and entrusts others, not only will he not be able to catch up on the 29th day, but he may not be able to catch up on the eighth day, so this man specially ordered the fourth brother to send him back.

The fourth younger brother came to Beijing thousands of miles away, but Yi Yi didn't want to return suddenly.The man discussed with Mr. Sache Yiyuan of the Guozijian, and ordered the fourth brother to sign up in the Guozijian, and he would be able to wear it after paying a few dozen taels of silver.The man signed up for the fourth brother because he had to pay thirty taels of silver, and the rest will be paid in succession next year. On the day the payment is completed, he can receive the license.The man dismissed his fourth brother with this, and the fourth brother was also grateful.He also said that he was willing to help the adults in the family to take care of the family affairs at home, and he did not want to take the quiz again, and the man also agreed.

The men are in Beijing, and their bodies are safe, and the men and women are also in peace after giving birth to a daughter.The sixth younger brother is determined to stay in Beijing. My younger brother is in Jiangxi, so it would be great to have a letter. Chen Daiyun treats him like a younger brother, and the food and drink education is very touching!Calligraphy has also made great progress, but it seems inappropriate to rely on others for no reason.The male writer and the ninth younger brother asked him to go home with his companion Guo Yunxian this year, and he would be home by the end of the year.The male spends all expenses in Beijing, and he can arrange it by himself, so there is no need to worry about it at home.Men would like to report.

【Note】 ① Plain clothing: that is, mourning clothing. 【Translation】 Sincerely, my son Guofan Parents and adults, Wanfu Jinan.The jade shafts and jade seals bestowed by the emperor on the 12th, 13th, and 14th of September can be received on the 18th.The mother of Xia Jieping, a fellow villager, passed away, and he set off for Hunan on the 20th. Because he was wearing filial piety, it was inconvenient for his son to carry the imperial axel, and he was afraid that his visits on the way might be delayed.Grandmother is on the 29th birthday of the first lunar month, if you send it back quickly, you can also meet the imperial axis on the birthday, so I specially asked the fourth younger brother to leave Beijing in full dress, and specially sent the imperial axis home, and with Xia Jieping's companion, it is expected to be on November 10th. You can go to Hankou on the 7th or 18th, and from Hankou to Yuezhou, but you can get home in only three or four days, or five days by hiring a sedan chair.When the fourth brother arrived in the provincial capital, he asked someone to go home so that he could handle affairs at home and meet the imperial order.

Everything is unpredictable, if the wind is smooth, take the boat, and if the wind is not smooth, take the sedan chair.I'm afraid the fourth brother is blocked by feng shui on the road, and it may not be possible to catch up with the grandmother's birthday.To make birthday wine at home, there is no need to take care of the imperial seal for the time being.If the fourth brother can arrive, there will be a letter on the 21st, the drummer and incense case will be held on the 28th, and the letter will be received on the 29th.If there is no letter from the fourth brother to the provincial capital on the 27th, only a birthday feast will be held on the 29th, and the edict will be received on the eighth day of the first lunar month next year.If the fourth brother doesn't come back and entrusts someone else, not only will he not be able to catch up on the 29th, but he may not be able to receive it for the first time. This is why the son specially asked the fourth brother to go back.

The fourth brother came to the capital thousands of miles away, so he didn't want to rush back.The son negotiated with Mr. Che Yiyuan, the family of Guozijian, and asked the fourth brother to sign up at the Guozijian, and pay a few dozen taels of silver first, and the rest will be paid in succession next year. On the day the payment is completed, the license can be obtained.The son dismissed the fourth brother in this way, and the fourth brother also expressed his gratitude happily, and said that he would help the adults in the house to take care of the family affairs, and he did not want to take the quiz again, and the son also felt right.

The son is in good health waiting in the capital, and the daughter-in-law is safe after giving birth.The sixth brother decided to stay in the capital.Ninth brother is in Jiangxi, Youxin said it is very good, Chen Daiyun treats him like a younger brother, and the teachings on food and drink are very touching.Calligraphy has also made great progress.However, it is not appropriate to rely on others without reason.The son wrote to the ninth brother, asking him to go home with Guo Yunxian this year, and he can go to love by the end of the year.All the son's expenses in the capital can be arranged by himself, so there is no need to worry about it at home.I would like to report from my son (October 15th, the 26th year of Daoguang)
