Chapter 157 Qing Dynasty Officials Income, Qin Ye Asks for Marriage

Before today, Qin Keqing had met Jia Yun twice, once secretly in Rongqing Hall and once outside Jia Yun's residence. Jia Yun also met Qin Keqing once, just for a brief glimpse.

Strictly speaking, the current meeting between Jia Yun and Qin Keqing is considered their first meeting!

Qin Keqing walked up to Qin Ye with a smile, called "Dad", then gave Jia Zheng a blessing ceremony and respectfully greeted: "I've met Uncle Zheng!"

"No need to be polite!" Jia Zheng responded with a smile.

He had met Qin Keqing several times before, and he was not a person who liked beauty. Even so, looking at Qin Keqing now, he couldn't help but feel amazed in his heart, and admired Qin Keqing's beauty.

Qin Keqing immediately walked up to Jia Yun and smiled charmingly: "This must be Mr. Jia? Keqing pays homage to Mr. Jia!"

After saying that, she also gave Jia Yun a blessing ceremony, her figure was graceful and touching.

Qin Ye smiled and said: "Master Jia, this is my little daughter Keqing."

Looking at Qin Keqing's superb face at close range, Jia Yun couldn't calm down, but she still pretended to be calm and calm, and responded with a smile: "You're welcome, girl."

Qin Ye was actually surprised to see Qin Keqing greeting Jia Yun like this. Based on his understanding of this daughter, Qin Keqing would normally avoid Jia Yun, but Qin Keqing did not do that today!

Qin Ye realized that the reason why Qin Keqing was like this was because Jia Yun was her sweetheart, and also because she was smarter and stronger and was trying to win Jia Yun's love...

Although Qin Ye felt something was inappropriate about this, he was not dissatisfied with Qin Keqing.

He dotes on Qin Keqing, his adopted daughter, and now he not only appreciates but also feels grateful to Jia Yun, and really hopes that Qin Keqing can marry Jia Yun.

And he is about to go south to Huainan. He plans to take Qin Keqing with him. It might as well let Qin Keqing meet Jia Yun now. Qin Keqing's beauty may make Jia Yun's heart flutter, which means there may be another chance in the future...

Behind Qin Keqing stood two maids, one of whom was older was Ruizhu, whom Jia Yun had seen, and there was a younger maid named Baozhu.

There was also a young man standing, with fair eyebrows and beautiful eyes, pink face and red lips, a handsome figure, timid and shy, and the look of a daughter. He was Qin Keqing's younger brother Qin Zhong, but there was no blood relationship between the two.

Qin Keqing is Qin Ye's adopted daughter brought back from the health care hall, while Qin Zhong is Qin Ye's biological son who was over fifty years old and came late.

Qin Ye doted on Qin Keqing, his adopted daughter, but strictly disciplined Qin Ye, his biological son.

Immediately, under the leadership of Qin Ye, Jia Yun and Jia Zheng walked into the main hall.

Since Qin Ye had sent someone home to say hello in the morning, tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks had been set up in the main hall. After Qin Ye, Jia Yun and Jia Zheng were seated, Qin Keqing personally brought the maids and mother-in-law to serve the dishes.

Got the wine.





In addition to Qin Ye, Qin Keqing, Qin Zhong, and Qin Ye's Xu Xian, the Qin family also has two maids, Ruizhu and Baozhu, as well as a cook, a rough lady, an old slave, and two boys.

This configuration is similar to when Jia Yun lived in Xiaohuazhi Hutong and entered the house on the second day.

Although Qin Ye was only a seventh-rank military officer before, and he was an honest official, with his income as a seventh-rank civil servant, it would not be a problem to support such a configuration in the family.

The income of officials in the Qing Dynasty included annual salary, Lian Lian Yin and others.

There are two characteristics.

The first characteristic is that since the money for raising integrity for officials in the capital is paid by the treasury, it is generally much lower than the money for raising integrity for foreign officials!

Qin Ye was previously a seventh-grade civil servant in the capital. His annual salary was dozens of taels of silver, and his annual salary for raising integrity was two hundred taels of silver.

And if you are a civil servant of the seventh rank, such as a county magistrate, your annual salary is only a few dozen taels of silver, but your annual salary to support your integrity is as high as 1,200 taels of silver!

There was a saying in the previous life, "Three years to clear the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver." This sentence is also applicable to the Qing Dynasty. A seventh-grade magistrate, even if he is not corrupt, has one thousand two hundred taels of silver every year.

.

The second characteristic is that for civilian officials and military attachés of the same rank, the income of general military attachés is much lower than that of civilian officials.

As the minister of the bodyguard department, Cao Wei was a first-grade military official in the capital. His annual salary was more than 600 taels of silver, and the annual salary for raising integrity was also several hundred taels of silver. The total annual income was less than 2,000 taels of silver.

And if it is a first-class military official, such as an admiral, the annual salary is more than 600 taels of silver, and the annual salary for raising integrity is 2,000 taels of silver.

And if it is a first-class civilian foreign official, such as the governor, the annual salary is only 180 taels of silver, but the annual salary for maintaining integrity is as high as 16,000 taels of silver!

Let’s talk about Jia Yun’s current income as an official and a noble.

Jia Yun's income from serving as an official and a nobleman included annual salary, money to maintain integrity, and others. The "others" category included rewards, silver for firewood, silver for vegetables, candles, charcoal, silver for heart-red paper, etc.

Jia Yun is the first-class imperial bodyguard of the third rank, the imperial envoy coal mine director of the fifth rank, and the third-rank general of the third rank.

Being a first-class imperial guard of the third rank can earn him an income of more than a thousand taels of silver every year.

A fifth-grade Imperial Envoy Coal Mining Doctor can earn him an income of more than 500 taels of silver per year.

The title of third-class general of the third rank can give you an annual salary of more than one hundred taels of silver.

In other words, even if Jia Yun now earns nearly two thousand taels of silver every year just from her official position, this amount of money is enough to cover the expenses of his family!

This time, under Jia Yun's recommendation, Qin Ye not only served as a foreign official inspecting the coal industry, but was also promoted two ranks.

In other words, from now on, Qin Ye will receive the income of a sixth-grade civilian foreign official, which is much higher than his previous income as a seventh-grade civil servant in the capital!

As a seventh-grade civil servant in the capital, Qin Ye's annual salary is dozens of taels of silver, and his annual salary is two hundred taels of honest silver.

After becoming a sixth-grade civilian official, Qin Ye's annual salary was dozens of taels of silver, and the annual salary for raising integrity was as high as 1,250 taels of silver!

For Qin Ye, this time he was not only promoted and held an important official position, but also made a fortune. This also made Qin Ye grateful to Jia Yun.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although Qin Ye had a lot of income before, his family's expenses were high. Even though he had been an official for decades, he only saved less than one yuan.

Thousand taels of silver were prepared to be used as dowry for Qin Keqing.

Now that Qin Ye's income has increased significantly, his family will be able to live a prosperous life in the future.





Qin Keqing personally took the maid and mother-in-law to serve the food and wine on the square table in the main room. There were many dishes, more than a dozen courses, and the wine was also good.

Qin Keqing took matters into his own hands and poured wine for Qin Ye, Jia Zheng and Jia Yun, and then left the main room, leaving two maids, Ruizhu and Baozhu, to serve in the main room.

While eating and drinking, Qin Ye thanked Jia Yun again and again, and Jia Yun told Qin Ye some things about his role as salt inspector. Jia Zheng became a guest. In fact, Qin Ye invited him by the way this time.

At this time, Jia Zheng became concerned about Qin Ye's family affairs and said to Qin Ye: "Brother Qin is going south to be stationed in Huainan. It can take as short as one or two years or as long as a few years. I wonder how you plan to settle your children?"

This issue is also of concern to Jia Yun.

One of the reasons why Jia Yun recommended Qin Ye this time was that she felt that Qin Ye would probably take Qin Keqing south to Huainan, so that Qin Keqing would stay away from Jia Rong and even not marry within a year or two...

Qin Ye is a native of Shenjing City. Although Huainan is rich in coal resources, it is not prosperous. Qin Ye should not let Qin Keqing marry in Huainan, but let Qin Keqing marry in Shenjing City.

As Jia Yun expected, Qin Ye said: "Of course I want to take my son Qin Zhong with me to the south, so that it can be easily disciplined. My little daughter Keqing, I want to keep her in Shenjing, but I have several relatives in Shenjing.

, are all unreliable, I would be worried about letting Ke Qing stay in Shenjing, so I plan to take him south with him."

Jia Zheng said: "If Brother Qin can trust me, you can let your daughter live in my house."

Qin Yedao: "I appreciate the good intentions of Mr. Zheng. It's just that although you and I are colleagues and friends, it would be too intrusive for my little girl to live in your house. This is inappropriate."

Jia Zheng did not continue to persuade.

Jia Yun thought funnyly: You can let your daughter live in my house!

Well, he just thought about it in his heart. He knew Qin Ye somewhat and knew that Qin Ye would not be willing to do this.

Qin Ye wouldn't let Qin Keqing live in the Rongguo Mansion, so how could he let Qin Keqing live in the house of such a young brother like him!

Ruizhu and Baozhu, who were standing aside and serving, became depressed.

They all know that Jia Yun is Qin Keqing's sweetheart, and they are both loyal and caring to Qin Keqing.

They felt that Qin Keqing would be more likely to marry Jia Yun if he stayed in Shenjing City, and would be more likely to marry Jia Yun if he stayed in Rongguo Mansion. However, if he went south to Huainan, the chance of marrying Jia Yun would be very slim.

Moreover, they themselves also have a good impression of Jia Yun. If Qin Keqing marries Jia Yun, the two of them will marry her.

None of them wanted to go south to Huainan and endure hardships.

So now, when they saw that Qin Ye declined Jia Zheng's kindness and insisted on taking Qin Keqing south, they were all depressed.

After chatting for a while, Jia Yun smiled apologetically: "Sorry, I'm going to relieve myself."

After saying that, he got up and went to the toilet under the guidance of the little maid Baozhu.

Jia Yun discovered when he first traveled through time that his strong physical ability did not make him drink a lot. Now that he is almost an adult, his drinking capacity is still not very big. It can only be said to be average, not good but not bad.

In addition, the alcohol in this world has high and low alcohol content, and the alcohol content is mainly alcoholic. The alcohol Qin Ye drank at home today was not very alcoholic. Jia Yun had already drank a lot, so it was easy for her to urinate.

.

While Jia Yun was relieving himself, Qin Ye said to Jia Zheng, "Mr. Zheng, please stay a little longer after we finish the meal. I have something to say to you alone."

Jia Zheng smiled knowingly: "Okay."

After Jia Yun came back from urination, she continued eating, drinking and chatting for two quarters of an hour, and then the hostess was over.

Jia Yun smiled at Jia Zheng and said, "Master, let's go together. I will escort you back to your home first, and then I will go back."

This simple sentence moved Jia Zheng's heart. Look, Yun'er is such a good person. She is his boss. She drank a lot tonight and she actually wanted to escort him back home first.

, so filial!

However, Jia Zheng did not forget what Qin Ye had just told him, and said with a smile: "You go first, I will stay and have a chat with Mr. Qin alone."

Jia Yun didn't think much and left immediately under the escort of her own soldiers.

Qin Ye took Jia Zheng into his study and closed the door.

Jia Zheng was surprised. What important matter made Qin Ye so mysterious?

Qin Ye didn't beat around the bush, and with a hint of drunkenness, he said directly to Jia Zheng: "Mr. Zheng, I leave you alone this time because I have something to ask you."

Jia Zhengdao: "Brother Qin is out of town. Please tell me what you want. As long as I can do it, I won't refuse."

Qin Ye said: "I feel ashamed to say it. Originally I couldn't ask you to do this, but now that I am about to go south to Huainan, I can't even care about it even if I feel ashamed. For the sake of my little daughter's marriage, I will put down my old face and beg you."

Jia Zhengdao: "Does Brother Qin want me to find a good marriage for my niece?"

Qin Ye nodded: "That's exactly it."

Jia Zheng asked: "I wonder which brother from which family Brother Qin likes?"

Qin Yedao: "Far away in the horizon, but close in front of you."

Jia Zheng came to his senses and asked with a smile: "Is it Yun'er?"

Qin Yedao: "Who is he? Mr. Zheng, I am really ashamed to say this."

"Last year, the old lady in your mansion was a matchmaker and wanted to get my daughter engaged to Mr. Jia, but Mr. Jia refused. The reason for the rejection was that Mr. Jia thought that he was still young at the time and had to take martial arts exams.

, I have no intention of getting married and getting engaged, I want to wait for two or three years."

"Under such circumstances, I shouldn't have asked Mr. Zheng to arrange this marriage. I just don't hide it from Mr. Zheng. Mr. Jia has become the sweetheart of my little girl. Last year, she told me that she wanted to wait two or three years before getting engaged. She just wanted to

Wait for Mr. Jia."

"Oh, it's all my fault that I doted on my little girl so much that she had such shameful thoughts."

"Now I want to take her south to Huainan. This trip can be as short as one or two years, or as long as several years. I am worried that during this period, Mr. Jia will get engaged to someone else, and my daughter will be heartbroken."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "So I shamelessly begged the government official to find a suitable time to talk to Mr. Jia about the engagement. It is great that Mr. Jia is willing. Not only will my daughter have a lifelong

As entrusted to you, Mr. Zheng and I can also get closer to each other in the future. If Mr. Jia is not willing, this matter will naturally be dropped."

Jia Zheng thought for a while and said: "Since Brother Qin has entrusted this matter, I will not refuse, but I am thinking that Yun'er is still young, and it is too early to say goodbye to him now. In addition, last year, he

I just declined this marriage, and now I think he will refuse it anyway."

"But brother Qin, please rest assured. When Yun'er comes of age next year, I will tell him about this matter, and I will try my best to persuade him to accept this marriage."

Qin Ye hurriedly said: "What Mr. Zheng said is absolutely true. I just asked Mr. Zheng to find a suitable time to talk about this matter. I am not in a hurry."

Having said this, Qin Ye stood up and solemnly raised his hands to Jia Zheng and said, "I'll leave this matter to Mr. Zheng!"





At night, as soon as Jia Yun returned to his house, he was told by Yu Zhu, the captain of the personal army, that the Rongguo Mansion sent someone in the evening and said that if he came back tonight, he would go see the old lady if it was not too late.

Jia Yun immediately speculated that maybe because he recommended Qin Ye but not Jia Zheng this time, Jia's mother was dissatisfied and had to explain herself.

Jia Yun immediately went to Rongguo Mansion, but Jia Zheng had not returned yet.

Jia Yun walked into the Rongqing Hall of Jia Mu's courtyard. There were not many people. There were only Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng, Li Wan, and the second roommate brought back by Jia Lian, named Liu Guiyue.

In Jia Yun's opinion, although this Liu Guiyue is beautiful and charming, it does not meet his aesthetic taste. How should I put it, it feels like he saw an internet celebrity with plastic surgery in his previous life.

In comparison, Wang Xifeng is still in line with his aesthetics.

Liu Guiyue's sister was the second wife of a wealthy businessman in Chang'an County. Liu Guiyue had an affair with this wealthy businessman. The wealthy businessman wanted to curry favor with Jia Lian, so he gave Liu Guiyue to Jia Lian.

This situation is similar to that of Second Sister You in the original work, but Liu Guiyue's character is very different from Second Sister You's. Liu Guiyue is frivolous in words and deeds, while Second Sister You is gentle, obedient and reserved.

I have to say that Jia Lian is indeed a bit weird when it comes to liking women.

Wang Xifeng smiled while pulling Liu Guiyue and introduced to Jia Yun: "Nephew Yun, this is the aunt your uncle Lian brought back."

Liu Guiyue was the first to laugh and said: "Is this nephew Yun? I have heard your name many times. Now when I see you, you look so heroic. It's strange that you are so capable at such a young age."

Jia Yun said politely: "My aunt is very grateful."

Liu Guiyue met Jia Yun for the first time, and it was in the Rongqing Hall in front of Jia's mother and others. She actually took the initiative to talk to Jia Yun with a smile. She was really not reserved.

At this time, Jia's mother asked Jia Yun about recommending Qin Ye, and Jia Yun explained the matter in detail.

Jia Yun also took the initiative to explain why he did not recommend Jia Zheng. Of course, he did not tell the truth. He repeated the excuse he had given Jia Zheng before, saying that he did not want Jia Zheng to go south and suffer, and was afraid that it would delay the affairs of the Rongguo Mansion.

, which delayed Jia Zheng from honoring Jia's mother and raising Jia Baoyu.

Although Jia Mu was not as easy to fool as Jia Zheng, she still believed Jia Yun's statement.

Jia Yun added another reason: "Although we do not avoid relatives when recommending talents, this time I took the initiative to recommend such an important official position as the Coal Inspector in front of the emperor. If I recommended the second master, the emperor would inevitably think that I was seeking personal gain from public affairs."

Already."

This reason is true.

Jia Yun said again: "Old lady, although I am a branch brother of the family, my family has been very kind to me in the past few years. I am just like a brother of the family. I have always respected the second master. In the future,

If I can still get promoted, it will be like the second master has been promoted."

Jia Mu became happy after hearing this: "That makes sense. You will work diligently as an official in the future, work diligently on errands, and strive to be promoted to a second-grade official as soon as possible."

Jia Yun breathed a sigh of relief and thought to herself: "Smart and eloquent" these eight words really work!

He said such things in front of Jia Mu today, and it was hard for Jia Mu to ask him to recommend Jia Zheng in the future.

It's not that he is ungrateful. He will repay the kindness he owes Jia Zheng, but it is not appropriate to recommend Jia Zheng for promotion.

In fact, it was not difficult for Jia Zheng to be promoted. After all, Yu Yin of the Jia family was powerful, and he also had a great backer in the officialdom, Wang Ziteng. Jia Yucun was introduced to Wang Ziteng by Jia Zheng and was supported by Wang Ziteng.

It's just that Jia Zheng himself was too embarrassed to take the initiative to ask others to help him get promoted. Even Wang Ziteng was embarrassed to say such a thing. Wang Ziteng knew that his ability as an official was poor, so he didn't want to take the initiative to help him get promoted.
