I am director of the rice bureau, paying attention to hot information at home and abroad, the humanities, national conditions, and history of various countries, also known as Yahuan, which is a role that often appears in ancient film and television dramas in China. Originally, it refers to the hair ornament of girls, and most of the ancient maids combed their hair braids into a ring, so it was called "yakuza". In ancient novels, there are often some images of Yahuan, such as the green snake in "The Legend of the White Snake", the red lady in "The Tale of the West Chamber", the musk moon, attacking people, Qingwen in "Dream of the Red Chamber", etc., especially the image of Yahuan portrayed in "Dream of the Red Chamber" is more outstanding. Rich and rich people often share the housework that housewives should do by buying them, and this act of buying and selling makes the beards private objects, and the master has absolute power, can buy and sell or pawn at will, and also has the right to decide on marriage. In other words, the master has the right to exercise lifelong restraint over the mane, that is to say, the right to liberty of the mane is absolutely restrained. So what are the functions of the beard? In addition to warming the feet of the princess and the hostess, there is also a role that is difficult to say and makes people blush.
01 In ancient times, the pure maid was regarded as the owner's appendage, no different from cattle, horses, sheep and livestock, and was regarded as private property by the master! There is neither freedom nor personality, and it must be driven by the master at will! Before the mistress gets married, she has to serve the young master's food, clothing, and living. And the young mane and the unsightly looking mane can only do some heavy work. Hands and feet are flexible enough to do some needlework, in short, these squirrels have the lowest status. The end result is either to marry the male servant in the house, or to be released to marry the poor outside at an old age.
02 If you are smart enough to act as a secret agent and housekeeper for the hostess, you can actually become the hostess's secret agent and housekeeper. In the feudal era, the ladies of the noble families of the high-ranking officials could not show their faces (except for the Tang Dynasty), so the rich ladies needed people who ran errands, and the ladies were the people who ran errands, and for the government, the ladies were also a great help to the master, and could act as spies and spies.
And if she is smart enough, she can also become a housekeeper, such as the Mandarin Duck Sister in "Dream of the Red Chamber", she is Jia Mu's big handmaiden in the book "Dream of the Red Chamber". Mandarin Duck became Jia Mu's right-hand man because of his cleverness and fairness. She is not only a knitting woman who is good at knitting, but also can help Jia Mu keep money and manage money, and Wang Xifeng and Jia Chain have borrowed silver from her hand for emergency use. Moreover, as a handmaiden, even Jia Lian and the housekeeper Wang Xifeng sometimes called her "Mandarin Duck Sister", and Jia Zheng could be polite to her. But sadly, no matter how much the cow's mane is, in the end, it is still a mane. After Jia Mu's death, Mandarin Duck committed suicide to preserve his innocence.
03 To warm the feet of the princess, the owner warms the bed, if it is the princess's beard as a golden branch and jade leaf, it is necessary to warm the feet of the princess. Before the master goes to bed, he must first go into the master's bed, wear only a small amount of clothes, and use his own body temperature to warm the bed. Although you can't really fall asleep, you can't play and chat in bed. To sleep with the master. The film and television drama "Daming Dynasty 1566" describes Yan Song's luxurious life, including the scene of a young girl warming Yan Song's bed.
In the winter night, people's feet are the most casually cold, and in order for the master's feet to be frozen at night, it is necessary to have two beards, one person and one foot, on their respective warm and tender chests. Play a warm dipping dye. If it is okay to warm the bed for the hostess, if you warm the bed for the hostess, if you meet the energetic people, you can't do something wrong to them at night, and you can't resist, so you can only lose your body. 04 For the princess and the lady to try to marry, as a room maid in the ancient princes and nobles of the lady married, there will be a close maid to marry the past.
Especially when the princesses of the dynasty get married, there are more things that the princesses have to be responsible for. For example, before the princess got married, the posture of the lady was arranged to try to marry the horse master. The girl who did not marry spent the night with her aunt, which was really unspeakable.
This means that before the young lady is officially married, there is a lady's personal maid to try the man who is about to marry the young lady. The main idea is that the sent mane first sleeps with the man for one night, and the next day the man needs to report to the landlord in detail the man's ability and whether there are physical defects, including temperament and rest habits. This system of trial marriage for the lady before marriage generally exists between the royal family and the famous and prestigious families. Of course, there are also rooms specially prepared for the male host. Jia Baoyu's handmaiden raider was specially used for him to have sex. After the hostess got married, she and her aunt had skin kisses, and became the lady's roommate.
When the young lady and aunt came, the lady needed to serve the aunt. Generally speaking, these ladies not only keep vigil when the young lady and aunt are in the same room to meet the needs of the host's family, but also deal with the battlefield after the master's house is in the same room. Generally speaking, in the woman's physiological period, or when pregnant, the aunt will accept the same room, because the ancient law allows polygamous concubines, in order not to let outsiders occupy the heart of the aunt, the miss will often take the initiative to persuade the aunt to accept their own maid, after all, the deed of sale is in hand, their own people can not turn the sky, it is still more at ease to use. The dowry is the second room, that is, the second room that solves the man's physiological needs when the lady is pregnant. The lady used to secure her position and fulfill her virtuous name. To put it bluntly, the beard is just an object. And once she becomes the "woman" of her aunt, she can't fly yellow and tengda. There are three ways out: one is for the male master to be adopted as a concubine; the second is to directly match the same identity of the small house; the third is to resell and marry. In "Red Dragon Dream", Wang Xifeng's concubine Ping'er was adopted by Jia Lian as a concubine. A situation is the best result for the maid, because the family that can afford to buy the mane has a certain economic foundation after all, and as the concubine of the male host, she will have no worries about food and clothing in the future. And Jia Baoyu's tongfang yatou raider was married to Jiang Yuhan.
After the male master and the mane steal (sometimes not necessarily called "stealing") for a long time, the mane naturally looks at himself as the "house man" of the man, so being a concubine has become the hope and the highest ideal of their life. However, the opportunity to be a concubine is very rare after all, most of the maidens grow up to a certain age, or with a small fight, or resold to marry someone, what kind of people they fall into, they have no choice, just like the fallen leaves blown by the autumn wind, drifting with the wind, as to whether they fall into the golden tent or on the dung pile, they can only resign themselves to fate. However, the posture of the servants can not escape the fate of becoming the landlords and rich people, of course, the yahuan to become the master's concubine is not necessarily a bad thing, at least eat and wear is not worried. But in the final analysis, the beard is a tragic product of the feudal era. Pay attention to the Mijun Observation Bureau, and you are focusing on the hot spots.
