In ancient times, a large family bought a maid, in addition to looking good and working, they also asked a privacy question. What is this?
As we all know, in ancient times, the class nature of feudal society was particularly strong, and the class oppression between people was particularly serious. Many people have been complaining about their origins all their lives, as if they were born lowly and never turned over. The only thing everyone can do is pray that they will have a good child in the future. Large families usually buy maids to serve themselves and their families. However, they all have strict requirements when buying maids.

Maids have to meet many conditions.

For many years, there have been different opinions about the problem of buying handmaids in large families. Some people say so. They think they must buy beautiful ones, because maids represent the facade of a family to a certain extent, so high-value maids are more likely to be bought.

Some people think that they must find someone who can work. After all, they are paid. If they are quick, they can hire fewer people to save money for themselves. Obviously these are conditions, but these conditions are not the most important.

The most important condition is that the servant girl must be pure.

Looking for a servant girl also needs to ask each other about their love life and even whether they have given birth to children. And all this is to make it easier for the man to use the maid. Although it seems incredible to us today, it was very common in the social environment at that time.

Reflect the darkness of society at that time.

This phenomenon also reflects the unfairness of the social environment to girls at that time. For women, they are generally not allowed to go out and show their faces, but can only teach each other at home. Because they are likely to meet bad people when they go out.
