Meet the rest of the maids Nguyen Dynasty

Saturday, June 15, 2013

By chance I met Ms. Tran Thi Vui - one of the last maid of Nguyen Dynasty, who lives in Chi Lang Street, Hue City.
Although the provision only serve the reign of Queen From Bao Dai Palace for 3 years, but the memories flow "dotted" helped her readers to be more interesting perspectives on life a time the provision banning ...Just be ... foot massage
This year has more than 80 years old, but she still retains Please nobility and elegance of a girls color. In particular, she is very healthy. The hot summer day, as the sun Hue roasting pan, but she is still fun "sunny side" walk more ... 5km from the road to Chi Lang Nam Giao romantic acquaintance in, or about to take Phu Vang district. Conversation with her, structured around the story is made concubines.
She said, her story was also made into concubines, now thought to be a coincidence, is not "recruit" as many others. As a child away from her - Hue cultural researcher, Mr. Ho Tan Phan, she is the daughter of Mrs. Fun Ton Nu Thi Bien - generation 5 grandchildren, National Public Forum room Prince, specializing in electrical Phung Tien serve directly (care of incense, worshiping ancestors of the Nguyen family) in the Khai Dinh Citadel.
During that time, she has come back with a record of her grandson The pilot (wife of Emperor Dong Khanh) they Tran Lieu Coc village (now Huong Chu, Huong Tra district, Thua Thien - Hue and bring Pregnancy, birth and then her fun. however, the family did not marry her for the reason Minutes: The family in the countryside, now back to her wedding a bend in "the Cabinet" on the know what more to eat (?). Minutes So she had to bite a child and continued his work Phung Tien incense in power for life.
By age 15, because he wanted his mother to be near each other, she would have taken her Bien Fun Tho to the palace maid servant beside her uterus Empress dowager. Thought to provide a magnificent woman in ... Chinese movies, traveling all day, squeeze play, playful, intimate conversation with "owner", but she has done fun surprise when I say: "For the third year in a palace Tho, I just each job is done ... for her uterus contractions and she slept most fans. Monthly, I get 3 bags but received wages. Eating the meal to power through the plated pocket Phoenix Cafes, finished in " .
Ask why only a foot massage, and other parts of the body, why? She smiled as Nac reservoir cracked: "I do not know the true cost of providing all things, a confidant to her uterus, she was for almost squeezed shoulder, neck massage, foot massage is just pocket size only. Even the Classified as pouring tea, betel baptized ... as well as the other people, I do not get involved. "
"Give me a multitude of Home" was handed to Hue folk of the house that has just been recruited to supply girls as concubines sung happy they are eating, but will return almost banned for life in the palace, and would never see my family and relatives. However, Tran Thi Vui case is an exception, as she entered providing that story.
She said: "In the palace shrine for 3 years to 18 years old, please plated tui tui get home to get married ... (!)". In this regard, the researcher Ho Tan Phan explains: It "to the multitude of Home" is true only in the early reign as Gia Long, Minh Mang, Tu Duc ..., but the court later, especially Dynasty Dinh and Bao Dai as troubled historical context, women should talk to the provision or the provision not be made strictly as before. Even as she said she had so many fun times with great witness daily to supply the shrine (formerly very rare thing) to almost all women from the same (!).
King Bao Dai would love ... snacks
Since only a short time in the palace, and it happened more than 60 years and has, so now things old, she only remembered Fun in a "dotted", that is, to lose. Yet through her recollections, readers will be much more interesting details that history could not have been.

 For example, King Bao Dai loves stories ... snacks. Usually about 9-10 am and 2-3 pm, the king called hungry. Thus the celestial kitchen (on the left Browsing Market Street now) are always available for Hue cakes, especially dirt cake to satisfy this demand of Bao Dai.
"King Bao Dai fun" - she said - "A lot of times the witness pocket kings from power Jianzhong (single) along the bridge (the lobby, the corridors) through provision shrine visit her. Because King usually quick to offer every time the shrine was to stand at the door waiting for her to go after the Queen Nam Phuong. meeting place, the two embrace as the film revolves round the pitch now, much different then a hun ... was then to visit her uterus. "
Or what she was seeing her Royal Thai Queen (mother of Emperor Khai Dinh, her mother's uterus) Truong Sanh in supply due to the relationship, it is often left with an arc through the female side. And: "In times of foot massage, I often heard her whining from the same conversation with her servant Crown Empress dowager or harass me." She laughed: "It's her mother, the bride did not provide details other than these folk models".
Please remember the stories she told and like most ghost stories. "In the time that has provided lighting display but there are still many that do" - she said - "One night on duty almost to her fans from the same bed until midnight, I go call the priest. Going on the bridge and saw a man with oil lamps go against, as you look at Hieu (a the women). tui But then the fear goes a sweat because you can not see the Hieu tissue. then can not see the bag meals the size of the whole, but only saw a hand holding a cigarette, put in electric lights ... lit. Fearing the bag closed his eyes, opened not feel anything anymore ... ".
According to her, she and the fun the women every night until it was free to be gathered together and told each ... ghost stories before going to bed (!).
With her fun, but very short life maids happy, carefree, while civilian life is the endless chain sad day. After you leave the age of 18, she married fun but I did not achieve any acne. Her husband took a second wife, was born and died young sons. She is currently living in a household Fun with married sons, and thanks to the monthly pension of a distant nephew. May the sun "compensate" for the healthy she should not make people suffer, I suffer.
The researcher Ho Tan Phan joked: "Aunt Please no property was precious memories out of 3 years as concubines." The joke is probably somewhat true when she looked in the same story with eyes always light up the pride.
