I didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement.
The second brother smiled." This negotiation in the north involves the royal families of both sides after all. The etiquette and security issues are very complicated, but I don't think there's any danger. Second Brother will definitely do his best. Sister, don't worry.”
Hearing Second Brother say this, I felt a little relieved."I only hope that big brother and the others can return safely.”
"Yes, especially His Highness the Crown Prince. We can't make any mistakes!”Third Brother interjected from the side, so naturally, they quarreled again.
After a while, I asked my second brother,"I heard from father that big brother has returned. I haven't seen him for almost two months."”
Second Brother nodded." Yes, it's said that the industries in the south have stabilized. I think Eldest Brother can stay in the capital for a while when he comes back this time." However, he went to inspect the business of the various villages in the capital early in the morning and could only see them at night.”
My family has been doing business for generations and is well-off. I entered the officialdom from my grandfather's generation, but I was only a fifth-grade foreign official. My father was the only son and had been an official for twenty-seven years. Now, he is the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and is already a second-grade official. His second brother, Guan Qun, was twenty-one this year and was a fifth-grade vice-captain in the capital's garrison. His third brother, Guan Ming, was seventeen and had yet to take the examination.
My eldest brother, Guanyun, was eight years older than me. He was better at both literature and martial arts than the other two brothers. However, after he was admitted as the top scholar in the twenty-second year of Deshun, he gave up his official position and went into business. He managed the huge industry left by his ancestors. In recent years, he had also opened up a new business and often traveled all over the country.
The few concubines and elder brother in the family lived in their own courtyards. Usually, if there was no special matter, the courtyards would eat on their own. Because of my elder brother and my return home, the whole family was finally gathered together for tonight's family banquet. Fourth Concubine made arrangements inside and outside before finally taking a seat. The servant girls and servants were sent outside, leaving only Aunt Qin, who was in charge of the residence, and Ke Wen, the concubine of my elder brother, to the side.
The usually gentle and taciturn sister-in-law spoke first,"Father, Mother, and YiNiangs, Guan Yun returned to the capital yesterday, and Sister Yu is here today. It's a joyous occasion for everyone to be gathered together. Since that's the case, Qing Wan will give Father and Mother a happy news.”
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, the eldest sister-in-law smiled and looked at Ke Wen behind her. She said,"Ke Wen is pregnant."
Everyone was surprised and happy, and their mother's voice trembled."Really?"
The eldest sister-in-law continued," I asked Huan Pei to confirm it. Qing Wan is unfilial and has never been able to give Guan Yun a son or a daughter. Ke Wen has been careful and polite in the room for the past two years. Now that she is pregnant, Qing Wan also wants to help her gain a reputation."”
After all, this was the first time the Mu family had news of a grandchild. His mother was quite happy and naturally agreed."Kewen, don't tire yourself out. Sister Qin, get me a chair.”
The concubines of wealthy families are basically all favored girls. Although their status is special, they are still servants. They can't sit at the formal family banquet. Mother called Kewen to sit, which means that she has recognized her name. From now on, she is the side room of Big Brother and the master. As sister-in-law, we have to call her Little Sister-in-law.
Sister-in-law listened to hurriedly say to Ke Wen: "Ke Wen still don't greet quickly!"”
Ke Wen was unusually happy and bowed."Kewen greets Father, Mother, Second Concubine, Third Concubine, and Fourth Concubine.”
Second Brother, Third Brother, and I also stood up and said,"Sister-in-law."
After a while, everyone sat down. Second Concubine said happily,""Our family has another one. No, it'll be two soon!”
His father chuckled." Alright, alright. We'll find an auspicious day later and prepare the gifts. We can't be careless about the first grandson of the Mu family!"”
His mother agreed from the side. Everyone at the family banquet was jubilant, chatting and laughing.
(The next chapter will be about the concubines in the palace. Harem novels vary from family to family, so I'll write it for everyone to see.)）
Empress (Many authors say that the Empress is a first-grade official. I think she should be the same as the Emperor, so she doesn't care about her rank)
From the first grade: Four Concubines-Imperial Concubine, Shu Concubine, De Concubine, and Xian Concubine (There are many dynasties. Some are called Third Concubine, and some are called Fourth Concubine. They are similar)
[Second Grade: Concubine (This is also present in many dynasties. Basically, they are all Second Grade or Secondary Grade)]
From the second rank: Nine Concubines-Zhaoyi, Zhaoyuan, Zhaorong, Shuyi, Shuyuan, Shurong, Xiuyi, Xiuyuan, and Xiurong (Nine Concubines have the longest history, and there is not much difference between the nine Concubines in each dynasty. The first character is basically "Zhao, Xiu, Chong" and the second character is basically "Yi, Yuan, Rong". In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the first character is "Shu" and the second character is "Hua". I thought about it carefully and used the nine characters I wrote for the sake of pleasing to the ear.)
[Third Grade: Noble Concubine (This is considered plagiarism from other authors. I saw that the main position of the third grade in their works was basically noble concubine, so I used it.] In fact, in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the noble concubines, noble people, and wives were collectively called the Third Mistress, and they were of the same rank. However, the later dynasties lowered the rank of noble people a lot, which should be the lowest in the Qing Dynasty.)
[From the third grade: Jie Yu (also known as writing)]??? I'll keep you safe. It means to be favored by the emperor; Laipu disease: What? Concurrently What is it? Shao? "What?" A beautiful woman? What's wrong? Shine
Fourth rank: Rong Hua, Zhao Hua, Chong Hua (To make up the numbers, move the unused "Hua" word from the nine concubines, and put it on the table.）
The fifth rank: Concubine (Concubine was actually a general term for ancient women, such as concubines. The concubines of the later dynasties were basically considered pretty concubines. When it came to the concubines of the Qing Dynasty, they were concubines. Their status was not bad. However, just like Guipin, this position under the works of other authors is almost fifth-grade, and mine is also fifth-grade.）
From the fifth rank: Liangdi, Liangyuan (These two titles were once the titles of the Crown Prince's concubine in the Tang Dynasty. Liangdi was only second to the Crown Princess, and was the third rank. Liangyuan was the fourth rank. However, in the later dynasties, it would be aggrieved to be the Emperor's concubine, so it was lowered by a few ranks.）
[Level Six: Noble Lady (Poor noble lady, she's already Level Six. She used to be Third Madam, hehe.]）
Rank-6: Beauty (To make up the numbers, it was already considered a low position.）
The seventh grade: Talent, good person (Talent was also a position that existed in many dynasties. It was first set up by Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty and was used until the Ming Dynasty. It was basically the fourth to fifth grade. However, every author seems to regard talented people as concubines with a very low status, so I'll be considered a seventh-grade concubine.）
From the seventh rank: Chang Zai (In the Qing Dynasty, He Shou was considered the lowest rank concubine, similar to a palace maid.）
Eighth Stage: Agree
From the eighth grade: changing clothes (copied from other novels. In fact, this was once the title of imperial concubines in ancient Japan. I think this term is not bad. If a palace maid is favored by the emperor, isn't it just changing clothes? So I counted this and made it the lowest level.）
The women's hairstyles in the article explained that the ancient women's hairstyles of the Heavenly Dynasty were rich and varied. There were more than 100 kinds of hairstyles recorded in Duan Chengshi's "Bun Pin" of the Tang Dynasty alone.、Hair? Waiting for the change to come. Its manifestations can be generally divided into six categories: anti-coil, knot, knot vertebra, twist, coil stack, double hanging and so on.
1. Reversed Winding Style: Reversed Winding Style: Towering Heaven bun, Ingot bun, Reversed Winding Style: Double-Blade bun, Startling Swan bun.
2. Knot style: Knot style flying fairy bun, Knot style split? A bun.
3. Cone-knot style: Cone-knot style with a high cone-knot bun, cone-knot style with a tilted bun, cone-knot style with a horse bun, cone-knot style with a deformed bun.
4. Twist style: Twist style back back heart bun, twist style front heart bun, twist style with cloud bun Lingxu bun.
5. Layered bun: Layered lily bun, Layered spiral bun, Layered comb bun.
6. Double-hanging style: Double-hanging style, double-bun hanging bun
Description of Women's Jewelry in the Text (Jane)
