In the evening, while the couple were chatting, Meng Yao advised her husband: "Depending on the intention of the husband, I don't plan to enter the official career. Since I don't seek an official career, how can I stay in the right and wrong place of the capital for a long time? Besides, although Ji Gang pays more attention to friendship, he heard that he is arrogant and indulgent, and he is afraid of disaster in the future. How can the husband stay under his wings for a long time?" Zhongying continued: "Yes, why don't we return to the husband's hometown Jiyang , Men farm and women weave. Although life is hard, they are peaceful and peaceful. "Xianning smiled and said, "The emperor today called me an official, but I rejected it. How could I surrender to a commander of Jinyiwei for a long time? Ji Gang's character is not complimentary, but he is more righteous to us. There is another thing I was about to explain to my two wives: When Lord Lingzun's family was taken to the capital, I set the fire at the Huai'an Post Station. I rescued your younger brother Tie Shou'an in the chaos. , to continue the bloodline of the Tie family. Now Shou'an lives in Shanyang County, Jiangsu Province, and is already sixteen years old. He must visit his grandfather and grandmother in Hainan. I sent him to Nanjing and broke up. I agreed to meet in Nanjing when I returned, and then took the remains of Lingzun and Lingtang back for burial. Therefore, I cannot leave here for the time being." The Tie sisters said excitedly: "We only know that the husband collects the body for our father, but I didn't expect to save our younger brother and preserve the bloodline of the Tie family. This great kindness is really a great virtue. The sky is high and the earth is thick. I wonder when Shou'an will come to Nanjing? "
Xianning calculated the schedule and said, "In another two or three months, there will be news." As expected, more than three months later, Tie Shou'an passed through Nanjing and went to the Jiaofang to secretly visit the two sisters. He heard that he had received pardon and married a scholar. When he visited the scholar's house, he found that he was greeted by his elder brother and benefactor Gao Xianning. Xianning took him to the inner room to meet his two sisters again. The three siblings were filled with joy and sorrow, and they hugged their heads and cried together. Meng Yao and Zhongying asked about their grandfather and grandmother, Shou'an said, "Short after arriving in Hainan, the two old men died of illness. I have incinerated their bones, put them in a small box, and hid them in a bamboo cage and brought them back." The sisters of Meng Yao gave the bones to Zhongtang and cried and paid tribute. Xianning had already collected the bones of Tiexuan and his wife. Meng Yao planned to bring the bones of her parents and grandparents back to her hometown, Dengzhou for burial. Xianning shook her head repeatedly and said, "No, no. Although you sisters were pardoned and were out of the Joy, Shou'an was not pardoned. If someone reported it after returning to her hometown, it would be a big trouble. Besides, the old couple treated Shou'an like their biological children, and they could not leave them alone. Why don't we go back to Shanyang together? Shou'an and I still use the names of Jin Ning and Jin An to hide our eyes." The three brothers and sisters thought this was reasonable, so they followed him. A few days later, Xianning just said that he would go back to his hometown of Jiyang and say goodbye to Ji Gang. Ji Gang knew that he had no intention of career, so he gave him some money, so he no longer tried to keep him.
The four of them returned to Shanyang together, and the old couple Jin and his wife were overjoyed when they saw it. In fact, they had a little idea of the origins of Gao Xianning and the Tie siblings, and in order to cover up, no one could point them out. Their daughter has grown up at this time and has been in love with Shouan over time and must marry him. Shouan was a little hesitant at first, and Xianning, Meng Yao and Zhongying persuaded him and agreed. The old couple were overjoyed and arranged to get married for the couple. After marriage, Shou'an built a tomb in the open space behind Jin Lao's house and buried his grandparents and parents. Gao Xianning also bought a house nearby, and was close to the fireworks of the Jin family. More than a year later, Mr. Jin died of illness, and Shou'an went to the county town to pay taxes on his behalf. At noon, he was having dinner in a small restaurant in the city. When he saw a passenger sitting in the same place, he looked at himself secretly from time to time. Unconsciously, he felt moved and asked, "Where is the fairyland of brother?" The man replied, "I am from Dengzhou, Henan. My father, Shangshu Tie, suffered tragic disaster because he was loyal to Emperor Jianwen, and I was also sent to Hechi, Guangxi to serve as a military force.Now that I have just received the pardon and am going back to my hometown, I passed by here and saw that my brother was a little kind-hearted. I wonder where my brother Taixian Township is? "Shouan knew that he was his own brother Tie Fu'an, so he suppressed his ecstasy and did not answer his question for now, and asked, "Who else is there in my family?" "Fuan replied: "There is a little brother who was unfortunately burned to death on the way, and two sisters were sent to Jiaofangsi . A few days ago, I went to Nanjing to search and heard that I married a scholar named Gao and followed him to Jiyang, Shandong. I am going to go back to Dengzhou to settle down first, and then slowly try to visit Jiyang. "Shouan smiled and said, "In this way, I am the eldest son of the Secretary of State Tie. I heard that the Ling Ai of the Secretary of the Imperial Palace is in this county. Do you want to meet me? "Fuan was shocked and said, "Are you serious about this? Please take me there quickly, brother. "Shouan paid for him and took him to Gao Xianning's house. The brothers and sisters were reunited. Everyone cried and cried, and they said and said that the four of them thanked Gao Xianning, who was righteous again.
. Tie Fu'an was already pardoned and could show up publicly. After living in Shanyang for a while, he returned to Dengzhou to take a look. However, the Iron clans in my hometown have been implicated to varying degrees since Tie Xuan was in trouble. They have long been moved to escape, and their houses have large land. Some of them were confiscated by the government, and the rest had been occupied by others. Poor Tie's family not only had no relatives to join in Dengzhou, but also had no home and no land to plant. Fu'an had no choice but to go back to Shanyang. Tie Shou'an divided half of the land left by Mr. Jin to his brother, and married a relative for his brother. Both brothers made a living by farming. Later, Shou'an gave birth to two sons, and Grandma Jin also passed away. Gao Xianning said, "We cannot forget the kindness of Mr. Jin and his wife. "Shou'an's youngest son was named Jin to continue the bloodline of the Jin family.
About ten years later, it was , Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty , Zhu Di, the fourteenth year of Yongle. In July, Gao Xianning heard people from the capital saying that Ji Gang had been executed by the emperor Lingchi because of his corruption and abuse of power and arbitrary behavior. Although Xianning and Meng Yao and Zhongying knew that he deserved the crime, they were kind to him, so they set up his tablet at home and offered wine to sacrifice him. Later, the Fu'an brothers and Meng Yao sisters both lived to the age of 60 or 70 and died of illness, but Gao Xianning was 97 years old. This was one of the few old birthday stars far and wide in ancient times more than 500 years ago.
