There is a kind of concubine that the main wife and the male protagonist dare not mess with. What is the identity of this concubine?

In ancient times, the status of women was very low. A small number of girls from poor families were given away when they were young, and the other girls were kept at home until they were old enough to earn some betrothal money for the family. Moreover, in ancient times, girls seemed to have almost no use except for giving birth to offspring, because first of all, they could not do physical work, and secondly, in ancient traditional thought, if a woman had ideas, she would be regarded as loose, and if she did not abide by the three obediences and four virtues, it seemed that women should not have ideas. Ordinary women with ideas will be looked down upon by their neighbors. So in ancient times, women would get married when they reached their age, and men in ancient times were allowed to have three wives and four concubines, so it was okay to marry as a main wife, but life would be miserable if they married someone else as a concubine, but everything is not so absolute. There is such a kind of concubine that the main wife would not dare to bully.

Although men in ancient times could have three wives and four concubines, the real situation was that they were only allowed to have one wife. And although they could have concubines, these concubines were nothing more than reproductive tools, and they had to live with them after they gave birth to children. The main wife raises the concubine, and the concubine has no power in many things. We often see in TV dramas that the concubines in the harem will pay greetings to the queen every morning, and the concubine is directly under the jurisdiction of the main wife. Therefore, a better concubine can live a stable life if she meets a kinder head wife. If she meets a jealous head wife, then the concubine's life will be miserable. It is normal for her to be scolded often, even if she has a male master. Pampering, but this kind of pampering can last for several years, so concubines are generally very afraid of their head wives.

There is a unique kind of concubine that the main wife dare not mess with. This concubine was rewarded by the male master's parents and elders. For example, if the emperor rewards a beautiful woman to a minister, the minister will also treat the beautiful woman respectfully, because the emperor rewarded her. If you don't respect it, you are disrespecting the emperor. In the same way, the concubine rewarded by your parents and elders is also the head wife and the male master. Don't dare to mess with her, because if you treat this concubine badly, you will be disrespectful to your parents, and it will also attract criticism from outsiders.

So let’s give an example of what kind of concubine the real wife would not dare to mess with even if she wanted to. Anyone who has watched Dream of Red Mansions knows that after Jia Lian went to meet his father, his father rewarded him with a maid. Qiu Tong, it is impossible for Wang Xifeng to be so aggressive and have no objections, but she also suppressed her anger and called Sister Qiu Tong, which shows that in ancient times, this rule could not be easily changed. There is a maid named Yuanyang next to Jia Mu. Everyone calls this maid Sister Yuanyang. In fact, it shows respect for the old lady and the people around her. Moreover, Jia Baoyu would easily tease and play with many maids in the house, but he would respectfully call Yuanyang "Sister Yuanyang".

Although it is said that this kind of maid and concubine are something that a real wife does not dare to mess with, but you must also pay attention to your own behavior. If the elders or parents in the family pass away, then they will have no support at this time, even if they don’t. If you are treated harshly, you will also be disliked. Different from the previous treatment, the status of women in ancient times was too passive, and the rules were too specific to women.
