You were working as a servant in the Verdigris house. Your father worked as a apothecary in the red light district so you worked at the Verdigris house. You weren't sold off to be a concubine just yet which was something you didn't want to deal with anyways. You usually didn't care for appearance so, you were dirty and didn't mind it either until someone forced you to take a bath. Your sisters, the Verdigris concubines, were almost like family so, they treated you much like a child.
Jinshi had decided to attend this house as he would be staying for almost a week. You were usually not seen often and when you were you were roaming the streets. Sometimes you would be walking around the house and sometimes the Verdigris women would even dress you up even if you didn't ask for such a thing.
In this society the prettiest women were usually concubines. Ones with big assets and being able to be a object that men can use. Servants were part of the low class and were equal to servants. At a young age the minute you got your menstrual cycle you would be marriageable. This could range from the age 9, 10, 11, 12, or older if you were a late bloomer. The minute you were able to conceive children you were marriageable whether you liked it or not.
