"So, after you offer tea to the elders, you bow and kowtow to them.
"After that, you will be led to the nuptial chamber," Madam Sai said with her handkerchief covering her nose and mouth, and she took a peep at Xue Cong and Yue Jie.
They were busy writing down notes on what she had briefed them.
She had talked about what would happen on the day of marriage, and she was surprised to see that they as servants had the ability to read and write.
Xue Cong was using her own notations for words she didn't know since she could only recognize up to a few hundred words until now.
She didn't worry too much about it because in the worst scenario, Yue Jie would have noted it down.
With someone like Yue Jie helping her with things she wasn't good at, Xue Cong felt that she was blessed.
On the other hand, Yue Jie was already taking notes and estimating how much everything would cost for the wedding.
Thankfully, the wedding for them would be held together, for if it wasn't, it would have cost twice as much for everything.
Madam Sai waited for them while they scribbled.
A few moments passed when they were done, and they glanced at her.
"You aren't curious about what goes on in the nuptial chamber?" Madam Sai asked and waved her handkerchief at them.
This was the favorite part of her job as a matchmaker.
All the young mistresses had different reactions to what she had to say, and she relished in their worldview being expanded to what a man and woman could do.
Xue Cong and Yue Jie blushed when they realized why she was giving them such a smile.
They lowered their heads and said, "We are curious..."
"Come, let me show you," Madam Sai went over to the bedside of Xue Cong's bedroom and sat on it.
Yue Jie blushed, but she had some ideas from the picture books she had seen from her sisters, so she wasn't too shy about it.
Xue Cong, however, had no idea what to expect, and she stood where she was.
"It's fine, Madam Sai is helping us," Yue Jie whispered to Xue Cong and led her to the bedside.
Madam Sai glanced at their shy faces and said, "I can see what young master Lin saw in both of you.
"If I were a young master, I would be all over you two right now."
She gave out a burst of laughter and waved her handkerchief at them.
They didn't know how to respond to that, so they nodded silently and got to the side of the bed.
Madam Sai took out a small booklet and showed it to them.
Xue Cong's eyes opened wide when she saw what was depicted in the booklet.
Yue Jie had seen similar booklets before, so she wasn't too surprised.
Madam Sai started to point at the picture and talked about what would happen.
"The best thing is to guide him slowly as he approaches; remember to look at his face while doing so.
"Give him feedback, show him all the expressions you've reserved only for him.
"When you see his expression change, slow him down.
"Do it subtly, help him to prolong the pleasure.
"Be in the moment with him.
"Remind him that he is in control," Madam Sai gestured with her hands at them, trying to demonstrate what would happen to guide Xue Cong and Yue Jie.
Both of them, who were standing by the side, blushed and looked attentively at her gestures, fearing that they would miss out on any details.
Xue Cong had her mind blown away with what Madam Sai had taught, and she had so many questions in her mind.
Would it hurt?
What if she tensed up halfway?
How far was it safe for him to go?
She had so many things to digest, and her mind went into overdrive.
Guess there's only one way to find out, Xue Cong thought.
She was too shy to ask Madam Sai.
Yue Jie, on the other hand, had more or less heard similar things from her sisters, but it was still useful for her to have the full picture now.
Her sisters were also shy and didn't talk about it in a manner that was so direct like Madam Sai.
Some things were indeed better left to the professionals.
When Madam Sai was done, she glanced at them and said, "It's part of growing up into a woman; don't worry too much.
"Remember, being too tense on the wedding night wouldn't be a good experience for you or the groom."
"I will try..." Xue Cong replied and lowered her head even more.
She didn't want to ruin the big night for Lin Xuan Qi.
He was a young master who had been starved of it for so long, and she wanted to make sure that it would be wonderful for him, in any way possible.
Yue Jie also nodded and said, "I would too..."
"Relax, young mistresses.
"I assure you that others felt the same at first, but after a few times, they were more eager and hungrier than their men," Madam Sai covered her mouth with her handkerchief and said what she knew.
"Really?" Xue Cong glanced at Madam Sai with her ears burning red-hot from what she had heard from Madam Sai.
"Trust me. You'll be longing for it every day after you've tried it," Madam Sai said with a smile.
She stood up and gave out a long sigh, wiping her handkerchief on her nonexistent tears and said, "If only my dear husband were still around; he was such a strong man...."
Xue Cong and Yue Jie glanced at each other and could only give her an awkward smile.
"I was just teasing," Madam Sai shook her head, kept her handkerchief, and said, "Come, we are done here.
"It's time to get back to the main hall.
"There is so much for me to prepare for the wedding day."
Xue Cong and Yue Jie nodded.
They left the room afterward and walked towards the main hall.
