Emperor of the Red Chamber

Chapter 44 Qin Ye is overjoyed
Yuan Qingbai did talk to Jia Zhu about the You family and the Qin family. This was something he did deliberately. Jia Zhu did mention that Youshi and Qin Keqing had good looks and personalities, which Jia Mu appreciated.

According to Jia Zhu's introduction, Yuan Qingbai learned that You's father has not yet passed away and is a sixth-rank official in Shenjing City.

You's mother died, and her father married You Lao Niang as a second wife. You Lao Niang also brought her two daughters with her original husband, namely Second Sister You and Third Sister You.

This is also in line with the original work. In the original work, You Lao Niang was called "You Lao'an", and An was a sixth-grade official, which meant that You's father was a sixth-grade official.

In the original work, Youshi is submissive to her husband Jia Zhen, but she is also talented and can "manage the funeral alone" and organize Jia Jing's funeral.

The word "beautiful" is used to describe Youshi, which shows that Youshi is a beauty, and Jia Zhen is greedy. If Youshi is not beautiful, how can Jia Zhen marry as his wife?

As for Qin Keqing, she is undoubtedly a beauty. According to the original novel, she is as bright and charming as a treasure hairpin, and as graceful and graceful as a jade.

He also said that in Jia Mu's eyes, Qin Keqing was a very decent person. He was born graceful and delicate, and acted gentle and peaceful. He was the first proud person among his great-grandson's daughter-in-law.

He also said that in the Jia family, Qin Keqing was always filial to his elders, harmonious and intimate to his peers, loving to his younger generation, and always pitied the poor, cherished the humble, and loved the young towards the servants at home.

In Yuan Qingbai's view, Qin Keqing is not only a beauty, but also good at dealing with people.

In the previous life, someone said that Qin Keqing was the daughter of the deposed prince based on the furnishings of Qin Keqing's bedroom and the scale of the funeral. This statement was also recognized by many people.

Yuan Qingbai disagrees with this statement.

In this world of Red Mansions, when the emperor's eldest son Yuan Sishao was deposed as the crown prince, Qin Keqing had been raised by Qin Ye until he was almost ten years old.

According to Yuan Qingbai's understanding of the Da Zhou royal family, the chance of a daughter of the Da Zhou royal family ending up in the Yangsheng Hall is too low, let alone the prince's daughter.

In the previous life, it was said that Qin Keqing was the daughter of the royal family of the former Ming Dynasty. Well, Yuan Qingbai did not agree with this statement.

Since Qin Keqing was included in this list, it means that Qin Ye knew that he was going to send someone to the room where the emperor Sun Qingbai was selected.

If Qin Keqing was the daughter of the deposed prince, Qin Ye would not have allowed Qin Keqing to be included in this list.

In addition, there are several opinions about Qin Ye's official position of Yingchilang in his previous life. Some people say that he was a fifth-grade doctor in the Ministry of Industry, while others said that he was only a minor official in the seventh-grade Ministry of Industry.

In this big Zhou Dynasty in the world of Red Mansions, Ying Zhenlang is a member of the Ministry of Works who is in the fifth rank, Yingqing Li Division, Wailang, one level higher than Jia Zheng, who is the director of the Ministry of Works in the sixth rank.

……

……

On this day, Qin Ye, who was the maintenance man of the Ministry of Industry, came to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry as usual early in the morning to be on duty.

His residence is in the suburbs outside the city, not close to the Gongbu Yamen outside the imperial city. Every time he goes to work from the Gongbu Yamen or returns home from get off work at the Gongbu Yamen, it is time-consuming and laborious.

He is over sixty years old this year, with a thin body. His dark eyes under his gray eyebrows are still bright and energetic as always.

He has been an official for decades. Although he is diligent and diligent, because he is an honest official, he does not try to please his superiors, and he does not like bribery, so now he is only a maintenance man of the fifth rank.

His family was not rich either, so there was nothing he could do about it. The salary in the Jing'an Dynasty was meager. If an official in the Jing'an Dynasty was honest, even a first- or second-rank official would not be rich, let alone him.

But he had no complaints and was satisfied.

He believed that although a fifth-grade official was not a big player in the city of Shenjing, he could still be considered to have made a difference in his official career. Although his family was not rich, he could still get by, and he was better than the superiors but not as good as the inferiors.

In addition, he is old, and he no longer has any expectations for himself. His expectations are placed on his daughter and son.

His daughter is Qin Keqing, whom he adopted from the health care hall. Because she has an excellent appearance and personality, and he loves her very much, he hopes that this daughter will have a good home. At this time, Qin Ye was sitting alone in his duty room, but he was not in the mood for work. He was thinking about Qin Keqing sending the people in Qingbai's room to choose the emperor.

Three years ago, when he learned that Jia Yuanchun was betrothed to the emperor's grandson Qingbai, he was very envious of his colleague Jia Zheng.

Although his official rank is one level higher than Jia Zheng's, his family background is much worse than Jia Zheng's. Rongguo Mansion is a powerful and wealthy family.

So three years ago, when Emperor Jing'an granted marriage to his grandson Qingbai, his daughter Qin Keqing was not eligible to be included in the list at that time.

But this time, when Emperor Jing'an wanted to choose two people to live in the house for his grandson Qingbai, his daughter Qin Keqing could also be among them.

He believed that it would be an honor for his daughter to become a member of the house of a phoenix descendant of the heavenly family.

Moreover, he knew something about Yuan Qingbai, the emperor's grandson, and knew that this emperor's grandson was loved by the current emperor.

He had also seen the emperor's grandson with his own eyes. He was a handsome and majestic man.

He was an honest official, and he respected the cold-faced third prince. He believed that the third prince's action of checking the deficit was very good, which was beneficial to both the Holy Emperor and Zhou Dynasty, and it eliminated corruption.

He also believed that the third prince would probably be the next emperor of Zhou Dynasty.

In this way, if his daughter Qin Keqing can become the wife of Emperor Sun Qingbai, she will at least be the prince's concubine in the future, and most likely she will be a concubine, a concubine or even a concubine, with great honor.

Qin Ye kept these thoughts in his heart and would not tell others.

However, Qin Ye also knew that the chance of his daughter Qin Keqing being selected this time was very small because she was too young and she was adopted from the health care hall.

Just as Qin Ye was sitting alone in the duty room thinking about this, his colleague Jia Zheng suddenly appeared at the door and said solemnly to him: "Brother Qin, there is a eunuch in the palace who has sent a message to you."

When Qin Ye heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. My dear friend was chosen?
He speculated that Qin Keqing was probably selected, otherwise there would be no eunuch who came to him specifically to deliver the order.

Qin Ye quickly stood up, straightened his body and walked to the door of the duty room to greet the eunuch who delivered the order.

Sure enough, the eunuch who passed the order told him that the Holy Emperor had chosen his daughter Qin Keqing to be the wife of Emperor Sun Qingbai. Three days later, the palace would send someone to the Qin family to take Qin Keqing into the palace...

Qin Ye was overjoyed. He had never bribed someone many times in his life, but now he took out the ten taels of silver he had brought with him and gave it to the eunuch who passed the order.

Qin Keqing was only chosen as the roommate of Emperor Sun Qingbai, so Emperor Jing'an would naturally not summon Qin Ye.

The eunuch who delivered the order left after delivering the order.

Jia Zheng said to Qin Ye pleasantly: "Congratulations, brother Qin."

Qin Ye couldn't help but be happy: "Brother Cunzhou, you're too polite. Although this is a happy matter, it is not worth mentioning to you. Your daughter, Ling Qianjin, has long been married to the emperor's grandson Bai Sanye by the Holy One."

Jia Zheng smiled and said: "It's fate, you and I are colleagues who have made friends with each other, and now my daughter is allotted to the emperor's grandson Bai Sanye."

Qin Ye smiled and said, "Yes, this is a great fate."

He had already planned to get closer to Jia Zheng in the future.

Although he does not please his superiors and does not like bribes, he loves his daughter Qin Keqing and understands that Jia Zheng is a decent, courteous and courteous corporal.

If he gets closer to Jia Zheng, he can ask Jia Zheng to let Yuan Chun take care of Qin Keqing. After all, Yuan Chun will be the wife of Emperor Sun Qingbai, a princess, or even a queen...
