Chapter 45 Zhong Kui worships his mother and marries Du Ping

 "Xiaosheng!"

On this day, Zhong Sheng went to the inner courtyard as usual and visited Grandma Zhong.

Grandma Zhong was in good spirits recently. She got out of bed and walked around a few times. Finally, she leaned against the bed and held Mr. Zhong’s hand to chatter.

"I have three children in my life. Your father has left long ago, and your second uncle also..."

"Now, your sister-in-law is the only one left by my side. Although I can't bear to part with her, she is not young anymore. It's time to think about marriage."

Zhong Sheng thought to himself, grandma, you are really not confused, and the time to propose it is just right.

During this time, while he was busy practicing his martial arts, he spent a lot of money to buy gold, silver, silk, satin, incense powder and other shops in the city, and also asked people to build cabinets, beds, tables and other furniture.

My sister-in-law’s dowry, after all these arrangements, is extremely generous.

Zhong Sheng had just made a fortune, but he didn't know how to save and spent money like water.

As the saying goes, things get easier when you have more money. As for the dowry, we have already raised 7788.

Coincidentally, when I met Grandma Zhong this time, before I even opened my mouth to propose it, Grandma said it first.

"I think the head of the Du family is a generous man, and he is your second uncle's best friend. He is very busy with his funeral affairs, and he treats my family with courtesy."

Grandma Zhong grabbed Zhong Sheng's hand and said, "You are the only male in the family. Let me tell you, do you agree to this marriage?"

Zhong Sheng readily agreed, "Grandma, my sister-in-law and Uncle Du are a match made in heaven!"

Suddenly, his neck turned slightly red and he was stunned for a while.

"I'll talk to grandma again tonight."

Grandma Zhong smiled and waved her hand, "Let's go out and play!"

My sister-in-law came from the side with a basin in her hand, her face flushed. I don’t know how long she had been listening.

"What a good boy!"

Grandma Zhong looked at Zhong Sheng’s furious back and squinted her eyes and smiled.

Zhong Sheng returned to the other courtyard and caressed his neck, the corner of the red scarf glowing red.

Second uncle is online...

"Zhong Sheng, I'm pretty busy here. I'll meet you at Du's house tonight."

Zhong Sheng was stunned for a moment, "Has the Desolate Ghost King's side been calmed down?"

"It can't be that simple. After all, he is an old ghost king who has been entrenched in the pass for many years. He has countless minions and is extremely cunning."

"Now that my second uncle has the upper hand, I am not afraid of him coming to make trouble, so I can arrange my little sister's marriage as soon as possible."

Zhong Sheng said first, "I have already prepared my sister-in-law's dowry, so I won't let our family lose face."

When a girl gets married, the dowry is the honor of her mother's family. People say that if she is well-matched, it is not easy for her daughter's family to climb high.

Zhong Kui sighed and said, "Xiaosheng, it's hard for you."

He knows that his nephew has a temper, is a troublemaker, and is good at fighting and making trouble, but he doesn't know how to run a family business or take care of his family.

Can there be a huge change now, or should I change my past mistakes after my death?

A typical elder's mentality, happy to see his nephew grow up, but sad about the innocence of the past that was lost in the process of growing up.

"Second uncle, see you tonight."

At night, the Du residence was quiet. After the owner returned, he learned that a warlock was peeping and invited several eminent monks and Taoist priests to take a look.

However, with Zhong Sheng in charge, the house is extremely clean inside and outside.

Coupled with his evil reputation as a ghost-tearer, the monks and Taoists were extremely wary of him.

Today, there are no cluttered magical artifacts in Du's house, and the interior and exterior layout has returned to its original simplicity.

Du Ping was looking through the account books in his study, dipping his pen in ink from time to time and sketching a few strokes.

"This kid, Xiaosheng, is too outspoken. He deliberately avoided the Du family's business for fear of giving him a discount."

Du Ping smiled happily and reported from various shops that the living goods purchased by Zhong Sheng were all for women's daily needs, including gold and silver jewelry, dressing tables, boxes and cages, etc.

What does this mean? Zhong Sheng has begun to prepare a dowry for his sister-in-law.

"Soon, soon."

Du Ping giggled and heard a voice in his ear, "What's so fast?"

I turned around and saw an old friend standing in front of me, smiling at him.

Du Ping's eyes heated up and he stepped forward to grab the opponent's hands, "Brother Zhong Kui."

Then he woke up and realized that he must have been dreaming. Brother Zhong Kui was already buried in the grave, as he had seen with his own eyes a few days ago.

The person who came was none other than Zhong Kui. He was now dressed in a scholar's robe, but he didn't have the slightest bit of iron-blooded spirit to fight in the underworld. He was filled with emotion when facing his old friend.

"Brother Du Xian, after I died, thanks to your support, my family was able to survive today."

Du Ping shook his head and said, "If you and I are close friends, if we don't mention this, we will be out of touch if we mention it."

"Besides, this kid, Xiaosheng, has also helped a lot. You always say that he is incompetent, but in my opinion, he will become a great asset in the future." Friends who are separated by yin and yang, chatted for a while, and Zhong Kui explained the purpose of his visit.

"Brother Du Xian, I want to marry my little sister to you, what do you think?"

"What I wish for!

Du Ping took Zhong Kui's hand and walked to the inner courtyard, "Let's go to see my aunt and the others together."

Walking through the cloister courtyard of Du's house, it was quiet all around, with no sound at all and no night patrol footsteps passing by.

Du Ping thought to himself that he was indeed dreaming, no wonder he could see Brother Zhong Kui so lifelike.

"Xiaosheng, it's so late, what are you waiting for?"

When Zhong Kui heard his little sister's voice, he closed his eyes, took a few steps forward, threw himself on the steps, and cried to the closed door, "Zhong Kui, the unfilial son, has come to see me."

Through the crack in the door, Grandma Zhong's voice was trembling, "Child, come in quickly."

The lights in the room, I don’t know when, changed from orange to pure white, so white that it was a bit oozing.

But the warm atmosphere when the family reunited after a long separation was enough to offset the coldness.

Zhong Kui knelt in front of Grandma Zhong's knees and said, "Mother, my child is unfilial and has not yet achieved success, so I will be separated from you."

"If you are left behind, my little sister and little boy will suffer, and the child will be so heartbroken that you are worse than an animal."

Grandma Zhong said repeatedly, "I haven't suffered. The head of the Du family serves me like my own mother, and I am also sensible."

After a while, Zhong Kui stood up and explained his purpose.

"Mom, I came here tonight for my little sister's wedding."

Grandma Zhong smiled and nodded, "I agree."

Zhong Kui, Zhong Sheng, Du Ping:…….

Well, the whole family has agreed to this marriage and has already reached a consensus.

My sister-in-law was wiping her tears beside her. She knew that her brother had returned as a ghost, but his heroic spirit was still the same as before.

I feel even sadder when I think about my brother’s death and still remembering my marriage.

"Little sister, why are you crying? This is a happy event, you should laugh.

Grandma Zhong said angrily, "Since ancient times, there is no bride who doesn't cry when she gets married. She cries for joy, and the more she cries, the more prosperous her life becomes."

"The dowry thing..."

As soon as Zhong Kui opened his mouth, Du Ping said, "Brother Zhong Kui, Xiaosheng has made preparations. Now he is richer than you and me."

Now it was said that Zhong Sheng accidentally picked up a peerless orb and sold it for a high price of ten thousand taels of gold.

"Xiaosheng is the younger generation. As the elder brother, I should also prepare a dowry."

Du Ping smiled bitterly and held his hand, "Brother Zhong Kui, please show mercy."

The richer the dowry, the higher the status of the sister-in-law when she marries into the Du family. Doesn’t this mean she is in strict control of his wife?

Only then did Zhong Sheng realize that as the ghost king, his second uncle had to offer all kinds of sacrifices and burial utensils after he conquered a large territory.
