What is the classical Chinese translation of Fang Weng's family instructions?

First, the original text

Those who are sharp after life are the most prone to corruption. If there is, father and brother should be worried, not happy. You must always add simple bundles, so that you can familiarize yourself with Confucian classics, be generous and respectful, and don't let those who are superficial swim around. Since then, for ten years, your interests have become self-contained. Otherwise, it's not the only thing to worry about. I said this, the medicine stone of later life is also, each must be careful, and do not regret it.

2. Translation

Children who are quick-witted are the easiest to learn badly. If there is such a situation, the elders should regard it as a worrying thing and not as a gratifying thing. We must always restrain and discipline them, make them familiar with Confucian classics, and instruct them to be tolerant, kind, respectful and cautious, and don't let them associate with frivolous and shallow people.

after more than ten years, their aspirations and interests will naturally develop. Otherwise, there won't be only one thing to worry about. These words of mine are good medicine for young people to cure diseases, so we should treat them with caution and leave no regrets.

Introduction to the work:

Family Instructions for Weng Fang is a family instruction monograph by Lu You, which consists of two parts. The former part was written when he was 44 years old, and the latter part was written when he was about 8 years old.

"Family Instructions for Releasing Weng" has a certain position in the family instructions of the Song Dynasty. This book is written in combination with Lu You's own personal experience, so it is unique and thought-provoking in moral education. The most prominent idea is to educate future generations to inherit the innocent family style, be innocent people, concentrate on farming and study, and be a gentleman in the countryside.
