"After that, Sister Jia met General Lu, and she stopped playing with us brothers. Then, General Lu presented the chili peppers to the Emperor, and Master Zhou was invited to the capital. Later, the Emperor bestowed a marriage upon Sister Jia and General Lu. Then Sister Jia got married and moved to the capital. I never saw Sister Jia again," Uncle Gu said with some regret.
Although he was disappointed, he didn't stop what he was doing.
"Uncle, didn't you say that Grandma and Madam Zhou had a good relationship? What happened to Miss Zhou later? I haven't heard anything about Madam Zhou!" Gu Nian asked again.
"Sigh! Speaking of this, I really need to give you two girls a good talking to!" Uncle Gu stopped what he was doing and looked at the two sisters.
The two sisters also stopped using their hoes and looked at Uncle Gu, obediently listening to his teachings.
"When it comes to finding a partner, you can look for someone handsome and capable, but the prerequisite is that his family background is not as good as yours! Otherwise, if you are bullied after you marry him, your family will be powerless to help you! Especially after you have children," Uncle Gu said seriously.
"Did Miss Zhou get bullied by that General Lu?" Cai Xiaolian asked.
Just then, Lu Zheng happened to be outside the door and stopped in his tracks upon hearing these words.
"Isn't that right? Back then, my little Jia was such a bright and sunny person! She was beautiful, and she was the only child in her family. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was pampered by everyone. But that year, she secretly came to our village to find me and my second brother, asking us to take her to play in the back mountain, because she had never been to our village before."
"As a result, she was blocked by a wild boar halfway there. In her panic, she got lost in the woods! At that time, the road outside our village was not the official road. It was built by the Lu family before Xiaojia got married and later it gradually became the official road. Back then, it was still a forest outside."
"I don't know what the situation was like back then, but anyway, Sister Jia was rescued by General Lu. At that time, General Lu's camp was stationed not far from Zhoujia Town towards the prefectural city, and he often went to the town. Over time, the two of them fell in love!"
"Anyway, I met Sister Jia once after that. She said she was getting married and that I could go to the capital to find her when I grew up. She told me about a beautiful wife. I asked her if General Lu was good to her. She said yes, and that General Lu would pluck the moon from the sky for her if she wanted it. At that time, I didn't understand much. I really thought that the moon could be plucked from the sky, but it was very difficult. I really thought that General Lu was very good to her."
"Later, when Xiao Jia gave birth to her first daughter, Master Zhou and Madam Zhou went to the capital to visit her. After returning, Madam Zhou complained to my mother, and I happened to overhear it. It was said that General Lu had taken a concubine while Xiao Jia was pregnant. In short, Xiao Jia was being bullied by the Lu family. Madam Zhou went to see her daughter and granddaughter and, after hearing about it, wanted to bring the woman back. However, Xiao Jia endured it for the sake of her child. Later, their relationship gradually improved, and four years later, Xiao Jia became pregnant again."
"It was this child who took Jia's life! That time, my mother even went to the capital with Madam Zhou! It is said that she beat General Lu half to death, but Jia also died. After Madam Zhou returned, she missed her daughter and finally followed her in death."
