For the descendants of the Black Tortoise Clan, who boast a long lineage, everything must be done with measured restraint.
Especially before marriage, utmost attention must be paid to appearance and reputation, among other factors. Otherwise, it could significantly affect marriage prospects, to the extent that a downgrade in marriage could occur.
No Black Tortoise Clan would marry their daughter to a notorious wastrel. In particular, legitimate sons and daughters must pay attention to these details, which often concern the reputation and face of both noble families.
Thus, the legitimate sons of noble families have only servants attending to them from a young age, rather than a host of maidservants.
The idea of taking concubines before marriage is almost unheard of. Every noble family cares about their reputation; how can they marry a legitimate daughter to someone who already has concubines?
