What do you mean, maid?

In the old society, the maid who was nominally accompanied by the hostess to the man's house was actually a concubine. Bridesmaid refers to the slave brought from the bride's family when a rich girl got married in ancient times, that is, the dowry of life. If she is a single maid, she is called a housemaid. A slave who follows a young lady to her husband's house as a family unit can be called a maid who accompanies the house. So, what's the difference between ancient maids and maids?

First, the status is different from that of the house sister. Room? It can be seen between the lines that she is the most favored servant girl. Because it is convenient to serve the master at night, her bedroom is connected with the master's bedroom. Maids who have houses (when they are young) are the easiest to see the joy of boudoir, so they are prone to precocity and have the advantage of being close to the water and getting the moon first. Maid with a room refers to the slave brought from the bride's family when a rich lady got married in ancient times, that is, the dowry of life, so the level of maid with a room is higher than that of maid with a room.

Second, the relationship with the man is different. It is mentioned in Liu Demystifying a Dream of Red Mansions that Pinger, for example, is the time when the master and his wife have sex. She can not only serve herself, but also have sex together under the greeting of her master. It can be said that the maid in the room is the lowest concubine, while the maid in the room is just a handmaiden.

Second, the nature of services is different. Maids are the dowry of the first house, or they are selected from the beautiful maids who serve themselves. Generally, she has to wait on the first house and the male host. As long as you are a simple girl, it is ok to be a maid, but in that patriarchal society, women's status is low, and there must be many people who can't help themselves.
