Chapter 328: The Night of the Bridal Room (Part 2)
"Young Master, calm down..." Wan'er was exhorting and winked at Zhang Zong, her face full of begging. She was worried that Zhang Zong would have had too much trouble with Taiping on the wedding night. If it came to Li Zhi's ears, it would probably cause a murder. After all, Taiping is his favorite daughter.
Zhang Zong also understood Wan'er's painstaking efforts, and immediately sighed inwardly, sat back on the chair and stopped talking.
Wan'er felt a little distressed when she saw Zhang Zong's appearance, but she also breathed a sigh of relief. Then she came to Taiping's side and whispered a few words of comfort. Although Taiping was unruly, she was not stupid. Especially on this special day, she actually didn't want to have a lot of trouble with Zhang Zong, so she could still listen to Wan'er's persuasion.
Wan'er persuaded this and that. Finally, she saw that both of them calmed down and breathed a sigh of relief. Then she poured two glasses of wine in person, then pulled Zhang Zong to the edge of the bed and sat down and said, "Young master, princess, today is your happy day. You must complete the etiquette no matter what. You must drink this glass of wine."
Taiping did not object. Zhang Zong hesitated after taking the wine handed over by Wan'er, but when he saw Wan'er begging, he finally reached out to take the wine. Then he looked at Taiping, and then the two raised their glasses and wanted to drink it.
"Wait a minute, I forgot to do something!" Unexpectedly, Wan'er suddenly thought of something again at this time, and said again, which made Zhang Zong and Taiping stunned.
Wan'er reached out and took a strand of Zhang Zong and Taiping's hair, then tied a knot, and then cut off the knot with scissors. This is called knot, and it is also one of the rituals in the bridal chamber.
Wan'er packed the cut hair knots with prepared lotus and placed them on the head of the two of them. Then she happily invited them to drink the wine. Then she asked them to throw the cups to the ground. As a result, the two cups rolled a few times, and finally both of them were head-down, which made Zhang Zong sneer and said, "God's will really not deceive anyone!"
It turns out that the last step of Heyan wine is to throw two wine glasses on the ground. If one is positive and the other is negative, it means that the yin and yang are in harmony, and the couple will be very harmonious in the future. Of course, this is just a superstitious statement, usually just to get a good start. Now the wine glasses of Zhang Zong and Taiping are facing downwards, which correspond to the current relationship between the two.
"It's just a lottery. You don't have to care too much about the young master and the princess. It's getting late and the newcomers should have a rest. Wan'er will help you change your clothes. I will stay outside tonight. If you have any questions, please give me instructions!" Wan'er said with a forced smile. After saying that, she came forward to help Zhang Zong and Taiping take off their bulky wedding costumes, then she retreated and closed the door.
Taiping was only wearing a small shirt at this time. Wan'er was better here just now. Now when she left, Taiping suddenly felt very shy. Yesterday, she was also taught by her mother personally to Zhou Gong's courtesy and knew what to do next. When she thought of the graphics in the picture album, she felt her face hot and her whole body became nervous.
However, what Taiping never expected was that Zhang Zong ignored her at all. Instead, he went to bed alone, then said, "I'm tired", and then covered his head in the back and fell asleep.
Seeing Zhang Zong's performance, Taiping's face turned from blushing to pale, and tears kept spinning in his eyes. As a woman, her newlywed husband was so cold, which was simply the greatest humiliation to her.
However, Taiping still held the last glimmer of hope in his heart, so she gently blew out the light and then lay down next to Zhang Zong, hoping that Zhang Zong could turn around. However, time passed little by little, and Zhang Zong, who was facing away from her, was still motionless, and finally even made a gentle snoring, which made Taiping's heart completely fall into the ice cellar. In the darkness, she kept tears flowing, but gritted her teeth and did not let herself make any sound.
In the end, I don’t know how long it took, Taiping fell asleep in a daze and had many nightmares. Either Ning'er pointed at her and cried bitterly, or Zhang Zong’s cold smile made her unable to rest in her sleep. Finally, when she woke up suddenly, she found that it was already bright outside the window.
Taiping blinked, recalling Zhang Zong's indifference last night, a gloomy look appeared on her face again. At this time, she suddenly realized that Zhang Zong next to her was gone, probably because she had already gotten up before.
Thinking of how his wedding night came, Taiping was sad again and tears came out again.
"Princess, you are awake!" At this moment, the door was suddenly opened and Wan'er walked out, but when she saw Taiping with tears on her face, she also came forward in surprise and asked, "Princess, what's wrong with you?"
"Wan'er, I...wuwu..." Taiping felt only aggrieved because he was not destined to be successful at this time, and immediately hugged Wan'er and cried loudly, as if he was about to cry out all the grievances he suffered last night.
Wan'er was a little at a loss at first, but gradually she seemed to feel something. After all, she was the one who understands Zhang Zong and Taiping the most. Thinking of the situation last night, she also vaguely guessed why Taiping cried.
However, in the face of such a thing, Wan'er didn't know how to speak. After all, no matter how smart she was, she was just a girl who had just grown up and had no experience in this regard, so in the end she could only gently caress Taiping's back so that she could vent all her grievances.
Taiping cried for a long time, and finally got tired of crying, so he stopped slowly, and then sobbed to Wan'er and asked, "Where is Zhang... Zhang Zong, where has he gone?"
"The young master woke up just now. He was used to getting up every morning for a walk in the garden. He should still be there now." Wan'er explained in a low voice. She hesitated for a while after saying this, then she spoke again, "Princess, did you?"
"Wow~" Before Wan'er could finish her words, Taiping burst into tears again with grievance. After all, this was a huge humiliation for the woman, but she still had no worries. Now that Wan'er guessed it, she felt even more aggrieved.
Faced with Taiping who cried again, Wan'er was also helpless. She said that she had hated Taiping a little. After all, if it weren't for Taiping, Zhang Zong would not have been forced to separate from Ning'er. Then she had a serious illness and almost lost her life. All of this arose because of Taiping.
