The status of wives and concubines varies greatly.

In ancient times, ceremony was very important, and because of this, the status of wives and concubines in ancient times was obviously different. The wife is generally decided by both parents, and then hired by the man. This position naturally has status, confidence and courtesy. So like Mrs. Sheng, she speaks fiercely every day, but as long as there is no obvious virtue fault, Master Sheng doesn't dare to do anything with her even if he doesn't like it.

But concubines are different. Generally, the host marries them at will according to his own mood. No serious manners, low status. Therefore, concubines basically exist to amuse their owners and are regarded as objects of entertainment. If she can't make her master happy that day, she will naturally be abandoned. An unloved concubine has no status at all, just like a handmaiden. Just like Wei Xiaoniang didn't burn charcoal for her, the girl wanted to find a mistress to judge. What does Wei Xiaoniang mean by saying it directly? Just call it when you give it. If she doesn't give it, she won't, and it will be very vivid.

Officials' private life is impolite, which will affect their official career.

Do you know that there was a saying that the hostess suggested that Master Sheng loved his concubine and killed his wife, so he didn't go to the table. If interested political opponents participate in publishing books, it will affect his career. Master Sheng suddenly realized that he was confused and dared not enter Lin Xiaoniang's room for half a month. In fact, it can be seen intuitively here that in ancient times, even if the owner wanted to spoil his wife, he dared not do so, because it was tantamount to disorderly ranking and not paying attention to etiquette, which might directly ruin his future, which was very unworthy.
