Wen Jun Fortune Telling _ Gentleman Fortune Telling

Shi Lu's Translation of Classical Chinese

Secretary Lu's twelfth brother, the first division. When I left Beijing before, I made people look like a river. I was ordered to send the white-headed slave out of the city, but the boat didn't come. In the evening, I learned from my teacher Lu Jian that I was waiting for the boat, so I didn't know that I was too lazy to see him.

Before leaving, officials in Taiwan Province were less polite than their elders in Shandong, making it difficult to know what to do. Therefore, I didn't leave my book in the capital, but I deeply trusted you to repair the meaning of this book. At first, I went to Yiling by land, because it was in the heat and there were no horses, so I made this trip. Crossing the Huaihe River, flooding the Yangtze River, 5,000 miles to Jingnan, 110 miles. I don't know if you have changed your calligraphy where there is no book sticker beside the road. I came here to ask the Jing nationality, where is the cloud going, and I am happy to write a book and ask it. See my brother again. It is said that Mr. Lu has been seen in Xiangzhou and has been here for a long time. Don't ask, don't know, who is thirsty and unsafe? How do you get along with your family, especially when you are suffering? Has Liulang recovered from his old illness?

Although I have practiced for a long time, I have been to all the rivers and lakes in the past. I often live with relatives and friends, but I haven't met anyone with bad feng shui. In the words of a yogi, my mother is lucky in this kind of behavior. I also heard that there are rice, noodles and fish in Yiling, such as Luo Jing, pears, chestnuts, oranges, grapefruit, bamboo shoots and tea η, all of which can be eaten and drunk, which are beneficial to each other. Yesterday, I began to feel that I was a county magistrate because I participated in transshipment, and the rest was the same as before.

Shi Luzhu's bamboo slips said that he was not the one who doubted himself, for he was afraid of complaining too much to walk in a straight line. Now that I think about it, self-determination is no longer in doubt. It seems unknown that Teacher Lu is darker than his friends. When dealing with Shu Gao, Guy knew that he was not a gentleman. He was angry and accused him. He doesn't regard him as a friend. Why is he shocked? On the way, quite a few people have lost their Lord because of their sins, and they don't know how to cultivate their hearts. Teacher Lu also said that he had not forgotten his relatives, which is not true. Although you have offended, don't forget your loved ones. Be sure to meet and say as much as possible. For 50 or 60 years, I was born in this generation, silent and timid, distributed all over the world and learned from each other. Suddenly, I saw that we had done this. I was surprised and talked about it. I don't know if it happens every day, I just ask if it's true. There are also people who admire each other deeply, which is also annoying. But there has been no current events in this world for a long time! In the past, anvil, axe, tripod and wok were all things that cooked and chopped people. But if a scholar dies without losing his righteousness, he will follow suit, just like a few pillows There is a gentleman with righteous words around him, who dies when he sees something, knowing that it is natural and ungrateful. Those who are written in the history books, Gator wants to warn the fools and cowards of later generations, so that the rulers can't avoid it, of course, and he doesn't think about miracles and blame others. Fortunately, the punishment in this world is merciful, there is no such thing, let a person do it. I don't know what kind of horror it is However, we are also full of self-confidence and can't touch the past. Living in a secluded place, I know how to enter the Tao every day. It goes without saying. But Shi Lu had doubts about repairing and wanted to know how to repair it, so he knew.

And in Chuzhou, they talked about good things and bad things in detail and agreed. When I went to Yiling to write, I learned that the heart of repairing places is also. He often told Daoan that every time he saw a famous person in a previous life, he would thank him for not avoiding death when discussing things. If he really repay kindness and goes to a relegated place, he will feel sad and sad, and his heart will be like a mediocre person. Although Han Wengong is inevitably tired, he should use this to warn him not to do anything. Teacher Lu examines this language and knows the heart of the place. Recently, some people have been demoted because of their words and deeds, but they are arrogant and drunk, saying that I am not young. So the teacher said goodbye to Lu, who said that he was cautious and didn't drink. This matter is also based on this language. My voice got better after I left Beijing, and I haven't touched a drop of wine so far. I went to the county logistics officer to punish me for being lazy and slow in Los Angeles. There is a road to Yiling, which takes only a few days to reach Yong, and white-headed slaves are enough to come and go. It is cold in autumn, so take care. Nod uninvited.

I bowed my head to show my respect. Secretary of Shi Lu's Twelve Brothers: When we parted in Beijing not long ago, you asked me to send someone to the river to see me off. I accepted your entrustment and sent an old servant out of town to see you off. When he came back, he said he didn't see your boat. That night, I received your handwritten note, only to know that you were waiting by the river and blamed me for not sending someone to see me to the appointment. Only then did I know that the servant was too lazy to see me off and gave me a lie. When I left, the officials of Yushitai used all kinds of harsh means to urge me to leave. It was better to urge you to leave with generosity and courtesy, which made me feel anxious and didn't know what to do. So I didn't leave you a letter in Beijing, so I had to entrust Wang Junyou to write to you again and again and tell you my situation by the way, and then I set off for the west. At first, I wanted to go to Yiling by land, because it was too hot and there were no horses, so I had to go by water. I walked along the Bianhe River, then crossed the Huaihe River and rowed on the Yangtze River. It took me 1 10 to reach Jiangling. There is no place to post letters on the road. I wonder if Junyou has written to you to explain my situation.

When I arrived in Jingnan, I asked the locals. They said that Yunzhou is only two days away, so I'll write to you and say hello. See my brother again and listen to his introduction: someone saw the stone road passing through Xiangzhou, so you have already arrived in Yunzhou. Shilu, are you happy or sad now? I can know without asking. What I am eager to say is, are you safe after parting? And how do the family think about this matter, and no one will complain bitterly? Has Liulang recovered from his illness?

I have been walking on the road for a long time, but these waterways are all the roads I used to take. I was entertained by old friends and relatives everywhere, and I didn't encounter big waves. My old mother believed the fortune teller's words very much, thinking that the peaceful journey must be smooth sailing, and the result was really like this; I also heard that Yiling produces rice, wheat and fresh fish, just like Kaifeng and Luoyang. We also produce pears, chestnuts, oranges, grapefruit, bamboo shoots, tea and so on, all of which are very delicious, so we feel happy and gratified. Yesterday, because I went to see the transferred ambassador, my subordinates paid homage to my superiors, and I felt that I was really demoted to the county magistrate. Everything else is the same as before

The note you gave me said you were worried that I had some doubts about my behavior. Actually, nothing else. The only worry is whether the blame for Gauss's warning is too heavy to win a reputation for loyalty. Now that I have thought it over, I no longer doubt what I have done. However, you said that I don't understand my friend's personality, and you don't seem to understand my heart like this. When I wrote to Gao, I already knew that he was not a moral person. I deeply blamed him from extreme anger and didn't take him as a friend. What he did later did not surprise me. Many people were surprised and comforted by my firm belief along the way. In fact, they don't understand my heart. You said that my behavior can't be called unfilial, which is wrong again. Even if convicted and killed, it is not unfilial. This matter should be made clear in person.

For fifty or sixty years, God created such a group of people, but they were afraid as officials. (These people) are all over the country, imitating each other and forming an atmosphere. I suddenly saw what several of us did, so that even the old woman who cooked was surprised and talked with each other. But I don't know that the ancients do this kind of thing every day. They just pay attention to whether it is right or wrong. Others deeply admire my behavior, but actually they don't have much knowledge. What makes people sigh is that the world has not seen the ancients do that for a long time now. People often use chopping boards, axes, cauldrons and cauldrons to cook and kill outspoken people, but those who dare to tell the truth would rather die than sacrifice morality. They walked calmly to these instruments of torture like going to eat and sleep. People who insist on justice are not very surprised and sigh when they see someone dying generously and know that it is right. Writing their behavior in history books is only to warn those stupid and cowardly people in the future and let people know that these things are what they should bear and they can't escape. It is by no means that their behavior is strange, and it is unexpected to write it down. Fortunately, now the court pays attention to compassion and no longer uses this kind of torture. If there is such a torture device, one person dares to violate it. I don't know how surprised everyone will be. However, we people will never talk about the past again. I live in a quiet and remote place and pay attention to strengthening moral cultivation every day. These things need not be said, but in your letter, you think that I have doubts about my behavior and need to know my attitude towards this demotion, so I will say a little.

Yu He met in Chuzhou and discussed in detail the blessings and misfortunes of life. Yu also thinks that our behavior this time is right. I will write to you after Yiling so that you can better understand my attitude towards this matter. I once told Yu that whenever I see some celebrities of the previous generation, they discuss political affairs passionately and are not afraid of decapitation. They really look like people who insist on justice, but when they are relegated, they begin to feel sad and regret, and that unbearable frustration and anxiety are expressed in the article. Their inner joys and sorrows are no different from ordinary people, and even a character like Han Yu can't avoid this shortcoming. I use this situation to remind Yu not to write sad articles. If you consider me, you can better understand my attitude towards this matter. In modern times, there were also people who were demoted for their integrity and daring to speak, but after being demoted, some people indulged in debauchery, claiming that they only paid attention to things. So when you say goodbye, tell yourself to be diligent and conscientious, and don't drink too much. In this matter, I also obey your words. I've been cured of my throat since I left Beijing, and I haven't had a drink so far. After I arrived in Yiling County, I worked hard and got rid of my laziness in Luoyang.

There is a road from Yiling to Yunzhou, which is only a few days' journey. Old servants can send letters to each other. The weather turns cold in autumn, so be sure to take care of yourself. Ouyang Xiu, bye.
