In the Tang Dynasty in China, women's social status was relatively high. At this time, the married ladies are usually married alone, and most of them don't bring maids. However, in the later dynasties, women's status became lower and lower, and when they married their daughters, they had to marry several maids.
At present, there are two opinions about marrying a servant girl. 1 type means that the princess gets married. When the relationship between the two countries is close, the princess's cousin is usually used as a dowry to marry with the princess to a foreign country. In order not to make the princess lonely.
The second is that ordinary families marry their daughters. In this family, the oldest lady usually marries several beautiful maids to serve.
On the one hand, it is to find some intimate and effective assistants for the young lady of her mother-in-law's family. On the other hand, it can also prevent the first lady from looking for other Yingying Yanyan outside when she is pregnant.
This kind of girl is usually when the young lady has an affair or is pregnant for a month. With the young lady's consent, you can share a room with your uncle, that is, the maid. Just like Pinger's identity in a Dream of Red Mansions.
Although Pinger can share a room with Xifeng's husband, she is still a servant girl and has no name. The maid's main function is to help the young lady gain a foothold in her husband's family. So this is also an important reason why ancient ladies should bring a few beautiful maids when they get married.
