Zeng Guofan's family letter 曾国藩 749Words 2018-03-18
【original】 Brother Yuan Cheng left and right: On the second day of the second day of junior high school, I received the imperial edict, and my younger brother Yu Yuan quickly went to Beijing to see him. I will consult with my younger brother with the imperial decree of platooning Gonglu.In December of last year, Mr. Wen Zhai insisted that Yu Yuandi, a senior official in the capital, had nothing to say, and that Yu Luzhi would soon have an edict to summon him, and he did not expect it to be so fast.Yu Jue played it again every day. Yan's younger brother suffered from sleepless nights and had not yet recovered.After receiving the decree, Brother Yuan hoped to make a fold and send it to Jinling, and attach the rest of the fold to play it later.

Yu Yi suffers from insomnia and repeated waking ups. In the second year of the Yuan Dynasty, he was always too hard-working, and the liver family was also secretly injured.It must be rested at home for a year or it will be effective, and it will be appropriate to go out of the mountains next spring.If there is an imperial edict to urge you later, you have to be able to sleep a little bit, but you can rush out in response to the imperial edict, without judging the intention of the two younger brothers, what do you think?Xiaoquan came to caress Wuxiang, and everything has not changed, but Cishan resigned from office for a minor crime, which is disappointing①!Brother Yuan wrote about his trip to Changsha in the previous letter, and thought it was the time when he was moving the palace to change his feathers, so I felt embarrassed. (The fourth day of March in the sixth year of Tongzhi)

【Note】 ①Melancholy: melancholy.The meaning of the heart is lost. 【Translation】 Chengdi and Yuandi left and right: On the second day of junior high school, he received a notice from the imperial court, ordering Yuandi to go to Beijing to see the emperor quickly.Now copy the decree respectfully with the order and send it to my younger brother.In December last year, Mr. Yunzhai repeatedly stated that the scholar-bureaucrats in the capital had never said a single bad word to Yuandi. I knew that there would be a decree to recruit soon, but I didn't expect it to be so soon.I plan to play it again during the day, saying that my younger brother suffers from the problem of not being able to sleep at night, and he is not fully recovered yet, and he is recuperating. When he improves slightly, he will go to Beijing immediately.At the same time, he spoke to discuss with his younger brother Quan, asking him to report his illness in detail.After receiving the decree, Brother Yuan hoped to write a copy, send it to Jinling, and attach it to my post for a replay.

I mean, the inability to fall asleep and the sickness of waking up all the time are all due to too much effort in the first and second years, and the liver was also secretly injured, so I have to rest at home for a year, or I can get results.It would be considered appropriate to go out of the mountain again next year. If there is another imperial edict to urge him, he will be able to sleep peacefully before he can rush out in response to the imperial edict.I don't know what the opinions of the two younger brothers think?If Xiaoquan became the governor of Hunan, things would not change much.It's just that Cishan lost his black hat because of a petty crime, which is melancholy!Brother Yuan said in his letter last time that he had a trip to Changsha. I think it was embarrassing when he was changing his palace to moult! (The fourth day of March in the sixth year of Tongzhi)
