In the feudal dynasty where men are inferior to women, a person's origin is particularly important for women, because only women with good births and good families will have a good future. Just as some people enjoy all the glory and wealth as soon as they are born, while others are slaves at birth and have no right to control their own lives. Of course, there are also many inspirational characters, such as Wei Zifu from slave girl to queen came to a gorgeous turn, of course, this is only a few, more are only from slaves to concubines, although not as good as the main room, but also turned over as a master.
At that time, many ladies of large households would be equipped with one or two close-fitting beards, which mainly served the diet and living of the lady, not only people should be clever, but also beautiful, so they could become close-fitting beards, and their status was naturally relatively high. When the young lady is married, she will also go to the husband's house together as a dowry maid. Its main purpose is to take care of the young lady, of course, there is a more important purpose is to occasionally replace the young lady with the aunt.
In the late Qing Dynasty, there was such a dowry maid, called Wang Guiquan. Her life is very poor, she has no mother since she was a child, and her stepmother is not good to her, often violent, until her father dies, and her stepmother sells her to a big household surnamed Li as a maid. At this time, Wang Guiquan was exactly the same age as Miss Li Jia, plus her appearance was beautiful, so she was fortunate to become Miss Li Huixian's personal maid. As an adult, Li Huixian married Liang Qichao, and Wang Guiquan naturally entered the Liang family.
After Li Huixian married into the Liang family, her feelings with Liang Qichao were also in agreement, and soon there was a crystallization of love, but her body became weaker and weaker. In order to make her husband's family prosperous, Li Huixian decided to find a concubine for her husband, and Wang Guiquan became her search object.
Because there were two people in the dowry at that time, and the other person was lazy and was driven out, only Wang Guiquan was left. In addition, Wang Guiquan has a gentle personality, is also intelligent, and looks beautiful. Liang Qichao accepted Wang Guiquan as a concubine under the auspices of Li Huixian, who was only 18 years old. Wang Guiquan was also very angry, although he had no name, he gave birth to 6 children for Liang Qichao.
After Wang Guiquan became a concubine, she began to learn to recognize and learn to read, handle everything in the family, and treat Li Huixian's children like their own children. Because Liang Qichao and Tan Si founded the "Monogamous World Association" together at that time, Liang Qichao could not renege on his word, and he could only avoid talking about Wang Guiquan, and even the children could only call her "Wang Girl" or "Wang Auntie".
After the deaths of Li Huixian and Liang Qichao, Wang Guiquan became the only pillar of the family, and she worked tirelessly and silently dedicated herself to cultivate the children of the Liang family into dragons and phoenixes among people. She was an unusual woman, but unfortunately in her later years, she was separated from her children and finally died alone in a dark hut.
Is it worth it for such a woman who has been hidden by her husband for a lifetime, a woman who has broken her heart for her husband, but has not received her due name until she dies?
