In the Qing Dynasty, why did all the maids around her have to wait on Gege to get married?

Before Gege got married in Qing Dynasty, all the maids around her had to take care of Gege first. This kind of maid-in-waiting generally has an identity called trial marriage. The appearance of this kind of maid-in-waiting is mainly to know Xu's physical condition and temper habits in advance. If conditions permit, let Gege marry Xu. If Xu has physical problems, Xu can be prevented from marrying Gege in time.

Every princess in the Qing Dynasty had a maid-in-waiting as a trial princess before she got married. The maid-in-waiting will report Xu's physical condition to the queen the next day, and then the queen will decide whether to agree to Gege's marriage with Xu. After Gege marries Xu, the servant girl will stay with Gege as Xu's concubine.

Under normal circumstances, the choice of trial marriage space is also very strict. At that time, the queen needed to select eight of the most beautiful and youngest ladies from a group of ladies-in-waiting, and then take eight people to do experiments. Maids-in-waiting generally want to try marriage, mainly because once they are selected, they can get a certain salary every month or don't have to do the work that maids do. When the job is done, he was accepted as a concubine by Sima. It can be said that these maids will become slaves and masters as long as they are selected.

This trial marriage system was very common in Qing Dynasty. Their starting point at that time was good. In order to let these dignitaries know about men and women in advance, they can calmly deal with them after the big wedding, so that they are not so flustered. However, according to research, premature marriage trial is not conducive to their growth and development, and may even cultivate their dissolute habits. Probably because of this system, they generally did not live long in the Qing Dynasty.
