What is the ancient girl in the room ?

What these maids do is very simple, the main thing is to help the male protagonist warm the bed.

1. Work before going to bed:

First of all, before the man goes to bed, what the maid needs to do is to wash herself, and only wear a small amount of clothes into the bed, and warm the bed with her own body temperature, which may take about half an hour. In the process of warming the bed, he can not sleep soundly, let alone play, and after the bed is warm, he will invite the master to come to bed.

2. Serve the master to sleep:

Secondly, after the owner comes to the bedroom, the main liquid smoother unties his clothes and makes the bed. If you meet the owner's old age, you have to support and wait for the master to adjust the sleeping position. During this period, you must not make the slightest mistake, otherwise you will cause discomfort to the owner and will be punished.

It can be said that this process is very cautious and cautious.

3. Help the owner warm his feet:

After completing the above two processes, is it possible for the maid at this time to go back to sleep by herself? The answer is no, and there is one final process. The temperature in winter is relatively cold, and the room at that time is heated by a brazier at most, so the temperature in the house is still relatively low.

In addition, people who sleep at night in winter have their feet the most likely to be cold, so these maids also have to help the owner warm his feet to ensure that the owner's feet are not frozen in the middle of the night. This work is done by two maids, one of each with one foot, in their arms, to warm the master's feet.

Classification of maids:

Some are responsible for serving tea and pouring water, some are responsible for cleaning the courtyard, and some are responsible for cooking on the fire, which means that the slow and careful work in the house are all responsible for the maids. But there is another kind of maid, they don't have to do these jobs on weekdays, but they just serve the life of the male host, and they have a name: Tongfang maid.

In addition to warming the bed, one of the most important functions of the maids is that when the lady is inconvenient, if they meet an energetic host, they will replace the hostess and the male protagonist to have a room. The status of the maids itself is not high, and in the face of such unreasonable demands, they cannot resist, and if they do not obey the order, they will be severely beaten.

Reasons for needing a room:

First, the maid in the room should serve the master closely.

In ancient times, not all families had a maid in the room, and only the real rich and noble families would have a maid in the house. Moreover, most of the maids in the room are married by the hostess, and they specialize in serving the male and female hostesses.

Second, the maid in the room should dedicate herself to serve when the hostess is physically handicapable.

The maid in the room should not only serve the master closely, but also dedicate herself to serving the master. In ancient times, the male owners of wealthy families often had three wives and four concubines, which was a symbol of status. Therefore, the mistress who lives in the rich house must do everything possible to keep the male master in her room in order to maintain her position in the family.

Third, to pass on the lineage for the male owner.

Let the maid pass on the lineage, this is the most urgent duty of the maid in the room, and it is also the most important duty. In ancient times, it was a woman's greatest mission to pass on the lineage, but due to various conditions, giving birth to a child in ancient times was a ghost gate, and many people couldn't get through it. There are also some hostesses who are unable to have children for various reasons.

The status of the girl in the room

In the ancient Chinese marriage system, the status of the girl was lower than that of the concubine. Only a girl who has gone through the formalities and has a reputation can be called a concubine. The girl who has sex is almost the same as the concubine in terms of sex, but her status is not as good as that of the concubine, but it is higher than the average girl.

In the classical masterpiece "Dream of Red Mansions", there are many girls in the room, Ping'er is the girl in Jia Lian's house, and the raider can also be regarded as the girl in the Baoyu house.

Then we can look at the second case. In this case, when the woman is not married to the man, she has her own personal maid, and on the day of clarification, she will bring her personal maid to the man's house, and at this time, these personal maids will become the maids. Many people may compare the differences, since they are married, why do they have to bring a roommate?

In fact, these heroines think that they always have inconvenient times, rather than cheap other women, it is better to cheap their own maids, after all, their personal maids and themselves are the most sympathetic.

In ancient times, women had a low status, generally speaking, the girl with the highest status was the girl with the highest status, and it was generally convenient to take care of the master at night, and her bedroom and the master's bedroom were connected, which was convenient for personal service.

In ancient times, the girl was generally responsible for taking care of the master's daily life, and also gave birth to children for him, and was also responsible for taking care of his wife.

It is generally to serve the master, because the dignitaries and nobles enjoy the feeling of being served by the girl and meet their own requirements.

Speaking of the ancient "Tongfang girl", we are most familiar with the girl Ping'er in "Dream of Red Mansions", she is the girl who Wang Xifeng married and belongs to Jia Lian, so what does she need to do?

(1) A girl in the room

In ancient times, the class was very strict, as big as a country, as small as a family, not only a wealthy nobleman like Rongguofu, even an ordinary family, but also had strict hierarchical rules. Generally speaking, there were generally only several types of female commoner identities in ancient times: wife, concubine, intercourse girl, companion girl, and rough girl.

Each person's duties and status are different, and wives and concubines have official status. Under the wife and concubine are various types of girls: the girl who has sex is to some extent equivalent to the substitute of the wife and concubine, and the girl who accompanies the room is the girl who accompanies the master, and generally does not involve the relationship between men and women, and the rough girl is specially used to do rough work.

(2) Girl Ping'er

Ping'er in Dream of Red Mansions is a woman who combines color, talent, and morality, and can be said to be the only perfect person in the overall situation. And she is a typical representative of a girl who has a room, and it can be said that she has done this work to the extreme. From the original text of "Dream of Red Mansions", we can understand what duties and obligations we need to perform and enjoy as a girl in a room.

Finally, generally speaking, if the maid is unable to change her status and identity through the relationship with the male host, then the only path available is to help the hostess manage the house, gain the dependence and trust of the hostess, and even exercise power on behalf of the hostess at critical moments, and can also have their own dignity.

Tongfang is the master room and Yahuan room are connected, Wang Xifeng's Yahuan Ping'er in the Dream of Red Mansions is the girl in the room, Ping'er has a higher status than the average Yahuan, and she looks decent to dress and work, but she has to be tortured by Wang Xifeng's vinegar, and the position is more embarrassing.

The girl lives in the bedroom that is connected to the master bedroom, and serves the male and female hosts at night. The meaning of intercourse is intercourse.
