are all Jia Zheng s wives, why is Mrs. Wang 20 taels per month and Aunt Zhao only 2 taels?

Because Mrs. Wang is the main house, and the aunt is a concubine, there was a strict hierarchy difference between wives and concubines in ancient times. Divide the month by status.

The so-called main room is the right person with the man, it is the man's three media and six certificates, through the words of the matchmaker, the order of the parents, and the wife who is registered in the government, the main room has autonomy and the right to speak, and she represents the face of the Jia Mansion. Therefore, Mrs. Wang's monthly routine is 20 taels.

Because Mrs. Wang is the main wife after all, and the status of the main wife is much higher than that of the concubine, of course, the monthly rate will be higher than that of the concubine.

Because Mrs. Wang is the main wife, and Aunt Zhao is just a concubine, her status is definitely much lower than that of the main family.

The difference between the main room and the concubine is still very big, and Mrs. Wang, who is the main room, naturally takes much higher than Aunt Zhao as a concubine.

In ancient times, it was the status of the wife who would be higher than the concubine, so there would naturally be more than the concubine in the month.

With everyone, they are all Jia Zheng's wives, and there are also relatives who are distant and close, so Mrs. Wang's monthly salary is 20.

Because Aunt Zhao is the top girl, the concubine, and Mrs. Wang are in the main room, with the support of the Wang family, who dares to provoke.

Jia Zheng has only one wife, that is Mrs. Wang, Aunt Zhao, that is not a wife, but a concubine

The main thing is that their work is different and their status is different, so all the values are also different

The current junior does not have as much money as the main room.

Although they are all Jia Zheng's wives,But Mrs. Wang is a wifeAunt Zhao is a concubineThe status of wives and concubines is very different。A wife can be counted as the master of a family, and the status of a concubine is no different from that of a servant, so Mrs. Wang can count 20 taels per month, but Aunt Zhao only has 2 taels.

People often think that men in ancient times could be polygamous, but this is not trueThe ancients practiced monogamy and polygamy, that is to say, a man can only have one wife at most, but only if you have the money to support it, you can have many concubines. So correspondingly,The status of these concubines is not highIt is no different from a servant, which can be gifted, bought and sold by the owner. The wife is different, the wife is the status of a master, and the concubine is just a servant of the wife.

For example, Wang Xifeng and Ping'er in "A Dream of Red Mansions" are good examples, Ping'er was originally Wang Xifeng's maid, even if she later became Jia Lian's concubine, but she usually mainly serves Wang Xifeng. And then Wang Xifeng designed to kill Second Sister You, also because Second Sister You is no longer a concubine, but as a wife, which threatens Wang Xifeng's status, just like Wang Xifeng said to Jia Huan, "But I was scratched by cats and dogs".In their hearts, concubines are like cats and dogs

And for the concubines, the most tragic thing is that for their children, they are just servants. In the Red Mansion, Aunt Zhao was dissatisfied that her brother died and the money sent by Jiafu was too small, so she went to her biological daughter to make trouble, but her daughter replied that she didn't have this uncle, but a domestic servant died. That's trueAs a concubine, she has no right to have children at allTheir sons and daughters are mastersBut they are only servants

What's this, who is Mrs. Wang? The prince Teng his sister! Who is Aunt Zhao?

The sister of the house slave, Mrs. Wang was married, and Aunt Zhao's brothers and sisters were bought, if it weren't for Jia Zheng taking a fancy to Aunt Zhao, the child born by Aunt Zhao would still be a slave, if it weren't for Aunt Zhao as a concubine, her brother died, and 20 taels of silver might not be able to get it.

Because Mrs. Wang is a wife, and her family background is very strong. And Aunt Zhao is just a concubine, and the status of the second concubine in ancient times was very low.

Because Mrs. Wang is the main wife, the Ming media is marrying, and Aunt Zhao is just a concubine, in ancient times, the distinction between wives and concubines was very serious, and many times, the status of the concubine in the master's family was the same as that of the slave and maid, and even could be resold, and the identity of the main wife was protected by law.

Because Mrs. Wang is the main wife, she is married by the Ming media, and for Aunt Zhao, she is a concubine, so it is naturally different from the monthly example in terms of position, the status of the concubine in ancient times was very low, and the identity of the main wife is protected by the law.

The daughters-in-law of men in feudal society are also divided into ranks, one room is the wife, the second room is the concubine, the third room is the small, and the fourth room is the slave. This also points out that if she is an ordinary woman, if she is noble, she can go hand in hand regardless of size, such people are all princes and generals, and it is rare.

This is the difference between the descendants of ancient families, the descendants are the main room, the masters, and the concubines are the slaves.

Then let's check "Mrs. Wang" thoroughly. I found out after a check. The people of Daguanyuan, why did Cao Xueqin let them all have the surname (Jia)!
