Dear brothers, the first step: On the eighth day of November, I copied the daily lesson to my brother, and then I can copy three leaves for each letter from home. Japanese textbooks are all regular script, and they are meticulous, so they can't be used as regular script ears.
Feng Shutang was the fiercest attacker, and I taught him like a brother, knowing everything. It's a pity that my brother can't be in Beijing, and he can learn from each other every day in the tree hall. I'm not too rested every day! Nine brothers have been in Beijing for half a year, and I am lazy and don't work hard; After the ninth brother went, I was able to make up my mind a little, and I was really responsible for the ninth brother!
I tried to borrow a cloud and said, "I want to be filial, and there is nothing else; If I can teach my brothers a point in moral education, then I have a point in filial piety; if I can teach my brothers a point in moral education, then I have a point in filial piety. If Zuo Zuo can't teach his younger brother to become famous, then I am very unfilial! " My ninth brother's failure to make progress is my great failure to teach! I only hope that my brothers will be determined and persistent; To make up for my unfilial sin, fortunately!
Dai Yun and Yi Wujian also have daily lesson books, but I'm sorry that their taunts are not too extensive. Although I talk about them every day, I can't understand them carefully, and I'm rather suspicious that I'm exaggerating. However, Daiyun is diligent and will achieve something in the future. He Zijing served me very well, and often sang poems with each other. Because his brother admired my poems, and the words were the most consistent, Zi Jing also changed his appearance and added gifts.
Zizhen is now working on the official script, with seven or eight pages a day. This year, it has already reached a thousand pages. Recently, she has made a textual research on the falsehood of Hanshu, and she can't release the volume every day. Gai Zi's knowledge of chastity is good at five things, one is that Yi Li is good, the other is that Han Shu is good, the third is that Shuo Wen is good, the fourth is that all kinds of poems are good, and the fifth is that words are good. Those who do these five things all want to spread their ideas to the future. From the perspective of the rest, I am not very good at these two things, and I don't know how shallow and deep they are. If the word is used, it will spread to thousands. Poetry is also far above the hands of the time, and it will surely become a family. Recently, there are quite a few poets in Beijing, so I also want to make more.
Jin Zhuqian lives in Xiaoshan's house, and there is quite a gap between his face and his heart. Tang Shifu also has a gap with Xiaoshan, and I still associate with Xiaoshan, but I have no suspicion of it, but I am not satisfied with it. Huang Zishou went to see him today, and he has made great progress. He is talented in ancient Chinese, likes to buy books, reads from the east to the west, dabbles in a lot, and has many antiques in his heart.
He Shi's famous son is also very good. He is very talented and will achieve something in the future. Wu Zhuru hasn't been out of town recently, and Yu hasn't been there either. Every time Gai sees him, he will be delayed for a long time. His brother is also very thoughtful and eloquent, and now he is also imitating Mr. Wu Genfeng. In my opinion, the posture and quality of He Wu's two world brothers are equal to those of other brothers, and far less than that of Zhou Shoushan's Huang Zishou. In the future, He Wu will be more practical. For this reason, my brothers can know it directly, and I hope they will encourage me. These children are all outstanding talents, and it is a great fortune to have them go hand in hand with them!
Mr. Ji Xianjiu served in Beijing, and he treated me very well. He was impressed. He taught classes in the same year, but he was always lazy, but he stayed the same on the 1th. I still need to borrow a hundred pieces of silver and gold for the Spring Festival this year, and I will repay Du Jia with fifty pieces of silver and use the hundred pieces of gold. When Li Shiwu arrived in Beijing, he handed over the expenses of the Changjun Museum, that is, he borrowed it from the public, so it was better to avoid going out to speak, otherwise, he still had to make arrangements.
Bobby Chen left the door without a word, so I wrote a proud slave poem, and now it's quite good to be promoted to the door in a week. I read Yi's travel divination and lost his child servant, like saying, "It's also a loss of righteousness to travel to the next place." The interpreter said, "To travel with the underdog means to regard the boy servant as a traveler, be mean and ungrateful, and be indifferent and heartless, then the boy servant will regard the Lord as a reverse journey." I'm not mean, but I think it's like going against my journey, so I'm not loyal, and I'll treat it like a family member in the future. Although the points are strict, but the feelings are expensive, it is also appropriate to know that the good brother treats others.
I don't know if I can try to post more letters from home every time I hear the news. If I send letters, my brothers will have to keep a detailed diary for several days. Fortunately! I don't have to take more courses on behalf of my brothers when I write, because I'm afraid I'll get bored if I read more, so I just write about my recent situation, and my brother Fu Weixu will examine it carefully.

Dear brothers, first step:
I copied the daily lesson to you on the eighth day of November, and I can copy three pages every time I write a letter from now on. My daily classes are all in regular script, and I am meticulous. Unfortunately, I don't need regular script when I send back the transcripts.
Feng Shutang has made the fastest progress. I think he knows everything just like his godbrother. It's a pity that Jiu Di can't be here and learn from Shu Tang every day. I sigh all the time! Nine brothers in Beijing for a year and a half, I am lazy and don't work hard; After my ninth brother went, I was able to make up my mind a little, because I was greatly defeated by my ninth brother!
I often say to Cha Yun, "I want to be filial, and nothing else is more important. I can educate my younger brothers to study in Germany, so I am really filial; Being able to educate my younger brothers to make great progress, then I am really filial. If I can't teach my younger brothers to become famous at all, then I am greatly unfilial. " It's unfilial of me that my ninth brother didn't improve! I only hope that my younger brothers will work hard and persevere to make up for my unfilial crime, and that will be very fortunate!
Dai Yun is Yi Wu. Recently, there are also day books. Unfortunately, their knowledge is not beyond their reach. Although I talk to them every day, they can't understand them one by one, and they suspect that I am exaggerating. But Dai Yun has been working hard recently, and he will definitely achieve something in the future. He Ziming has been very kind to me recently, and often sings poems with each other. This is because his brother admired my poems, and his calligraphy was the most suitable, so Zi Jing also changed his attitude and showed more courtesy.
Zi Tan is now in the official script, with seven or eight pages a day. This year, she has reached a thousand pages. Recently, I have researched and revised the falsehood of Hanshu, and I can't put it down every day. Zi Zhen's knowledge is good in five aspects. First, proficient in "Yili"; Second, the familiarity with Hanshu; Third, Shuowen is exquisite; Fourth, all kinds of poems are well written; Fifth, good calligraphy. The advantages of these five aspects, his idea is to be able to pass on to future generations. In my opinion, I am not proficient in the first three aspects, and I don't know how deep it is. When it comes to calligraphy, it's bound to be passed down through the ages. His poems are far more than those of fashion poets, and he is sure to get married. There are few poets in Beijing recently, so I also want to make more.
Jin Zhuqian lives in Xiaoshan's house, and they have bad blood, and their faces and hearts are at odds. Tang Shifu also has bad blood with Xiao Shan. I am still in contact with Xiao Shan. There is no bad blood on the surface, but I am not very happy and harmonious in my heart. Huang Zishou went to see him today. He has made great progress. He is talented in ancient Chinese. He likes to buy books, look around the east and look around the west. He has a wide range of knowledge and has a lot of antique goods in his heart.
He Shixiong is getting better and better. He is calm and quiet, and his talent is not high, but he will definitely achieve something in the future. Wu Zhuru hasn't been out of town recently, and I didn't go either, because meeting once will delay a day. His brother is also very calm and quiet, and his words and deeds are in line with etiquette. Now he is also a teacher of Mr. Wu Liang. I think the posture and quality of the two world brothers, He and Wu, are comparable to those of their younger brothers, far less than those of Zhou Shoushan and Huang Zishou, but in the future, He and Wu must be more practical. For this reason, my younger brother naturally knows what I mean, and I hope my younger brothers will encourage me. These are all extraordinary talents, and I am very lucky if my younger brothers can keep pace with them! Mr. Wei Xianjiu arrived in Beijing, and his mourning period expired. He was very kind to me, and he had a class in the same year. Recently, he was lazy, but he still maintained it for ten days. I'm going to borrow one hundred and fifty-two taels of silver for the Chinese New Year this year, and I'll pay them back to Du's family for one hundred and twenty taels for my own use. When Li Shiwu arrived in Beijing, he handed over the public expenses of the Changjun Museum, and borrowed it from this public expense, so as not to open his mouth to the outside better, otherwise, he would have to plan again.
Bobby Chen on the door left because he didn't agree with each other. So I made a poem about proud slaves, and now it's better for Zhou Sheng to be the door. I read the book "Yi" and lost his boy servant, like saying, "It's a loss of righteousness to travel with the next." The interpreter said, "To travel with others means to look at a child servant as a passerby, who is mean, ungrateful and indifferent. Then a child servant also looks at his master as a passerby." Although I am not unkind to my servant, I also treat him like a passer-by, so he doesn't serve me faithfully. In the future, I will treat my servant as my own family. Although I have strict requirements for handling affairs, I still value communication emotionally. A good brother should also know this truth about special people.
every time I hear the messenger arrive, I hope to have a letter from home. I wonder if I can try to send more letters? If you send a letter, the younger brothers must keep a detailed diary for a few days. Fortunately! I don't have to take more courses for you when I write, for I'm afraid I'll be bored, so I'll just write about the recent situation. I hope my brothers will look closely.
