As the old saying goes, "It's better to marry a slave than a little housewife." Pan Jinlian in "Water Margin" is a maid of honor, good looks, and also makes a good hand of needlework, burns a good table of dishes, and even the well-informed queen mother is also amazed. "Dream of the Red Chamber" wrote about many yakuza, the yakuza in the Red Chamber is the most enviable group of slaves, the raider said that even the girls of small households can not be so respectful, so she would rather give up the body of freedom than leave jia fu, other such as Jin Jun, Qingwen, etc., have expressed similar opinions, it can be seen that for the bottom people, in the Jia fu such a poetry family to do yakuza, or a good choice.
The four origins of the beards
First, the family of Jia Fu is a slave, and this part of the population accounts for the majority. For example, Liu Wu'er, who has a child at home, her parents hope that she will enter Yihong Courtyard to be a maid, and she can get a monthly silver to supplement the family.
Second, the bought mane. For example, the raiders were sold to Jia Fu because of the family's difficulties at that time; for example, the twelve small dramas were also bought from Suzhou, and later because the drama class was disbanded, they became the servants of each room.
Third, the dowry of the maid, such as Ping'er. According to the style in "Dream of the Red Chamber", women from large households must have four dowry maids when they marry, Wang Xifeng is like this, and Yingchun is also accompanied by four. This also includes the mane who followed the master to the new home, such as the snow goose brought by Daiyu, and naturally became the mane of Jia Province.
Fourth, the gift of the beard. For example, Qingwen was the maid that Grandma Lai bought, and Grandma Lai saw that Qingwen was clever and clever, so she gave it to Jia Mu, and Qingwen changed from the Lai family's mane to the Jia family's mane.
What do you rely on for promotion?
And these beards, the treatment is not the same, they are also divided into three, six, nine, etc., with a strict hierarchy, a big man with a head and a face, is qualified and empowered to instruct a mane of a lower rank than her to do things.
In Zhou Xingchi's "Tang Bohu Dian Qiu Xiang", Tang Bohu disguised himself as a subordinate and mixed into Washington in order to chase Qiu Xiang, he was only a low-level subordinate of Washington at first, not even a name, only a "9527" code name, and there are many places in the great mansion where he cannot enter the low-level people.
In the Dream of the Red Chamber, the level of these beards and the promotion space are mainly judged according to several criteria.
The first is the status of master of service. Just like the eunuchs around the emperor, they themselves could not interfere in the government, but because they served in front of the emperor, they knew the temperament and character of the master, as well as their words and deeds, so in the eyes of many ministers, they also had invisible power and status.
The same is true of the Lady of the Red Chamber, although they are also slaves, but like Ping'er, Raider, Purple Crane, Mandarin Duck, Jin Jun'er, these servants, because they serve Wang Xifeng, Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu, Jia Mu, Lady Wang, the most powerful or most fortunate and favored masters in Jia Province, so they are naturally the most head-faced yakuza, which is the first-class yakuza.
Therefore, if you know the temperament and personality of the master, and you have the ability to help the master deal with many things, and represent the face of the master to the outside world, it is very likely to be promoted.
The second is the monthly silver of the month. There are grades, the most obvious is the difference in salary treatment, the highest salary in the mane is one or two silver per month.
Jia Mu is the old ancestor of Jia Province, and there are a large number of yakuza women who serve around her, of which there are eight who take one or two pieces of silver, and these eight include raiders, who are responsible for all aspects of Jia Mu's clothing, food, shelter and transportation. Lady Wang's side of Jin Jun'er and Yu Jun'er were also big men who took one or two pieces of silver.
And the aunts and ladies of Jia Fu are only two or two silver per month, and this treatment should belong to a more special and important position such as the secretary of the board of directors or the assistant to the board of directors today.
Baoyu's side of the Qingwen Musk Moon and others, the monthly silver is a hanging money, one grade lower than one or two silver monthly cases, they belong to the echelon of the second-class yakuza.
A little girl like Jiahui can do only a limited amount of things, and she may usually run errands, pass on a word, send something or something, so she only has five hundred dollars per month, and they belong to the third class.
Third, it also depends on its own character ability. A squirrel finally has no face, whether he can go up again, in addition to the master heels, he mainly has to look at his own character and ability, to see if he can get the appreciation and weight of his master or other masters.
For example, xiaohong, who was on an errand next to Baoyu at the beginning, she was just a rough servant of Yihong Courtyard, and she didn't even have the opportunity to get close to Baoyu, because these beards with heads and faces in qiuwen bijian would not give her the opportunity to get close to Baoyu, and her identity did not allow her to go to Baoyu's room.
Later, because Xiaohong seized the opportunity, she was promoted by Wang Xifeng, so she "flew up the branches to become a phoenix" and became a lady whose status was not under the attack of Qingwen, which relied not only on opportunities, but also on her own character and ability. If you don't have the ability, a rough handmaiden like the stupid big sister next to Jia Mu will never be able to get out.
Another example is the attack, she was around Baoyu at the beginning, and she was not eye-catching, but because she had a cloud and rain affair with Baoyu successively, she was cultivated by Grandma Li and was heavily valued by Lady Wang, and this series of opportunities and drilling camps made the attacker quickly stand out among the many servants around Baoyu.
Another example is Qingwen, who has no father and no mother, and has no dependence, but because she is smart, skillful in her mind, and smooth in speech, she was asked by Jia Mu from Grandma Lai's side, and suddenly upgraded from a slave to a slave of Jia Mu, the slave of the highest mistress of Jia Province, and her status is naturally not ordinary.
