Chapter 518

Especially Jia Hui’s several fathers-in-law.

Qin Ye, Left Censor-in-Chief Sheng Hong, and Observer Gao Hu.

On the contrary, Jia Hui’s subordinates, Jiang Ji and others, only met and greeted each other before separating.

They did not attract attention.

Each stood in their respective camps and chatted.

Jia Hui chatted with Qin Ye for a few more words.

After all, he was the father of his legal wife, although he was an adoptive father.

"Father-in-law, on the second day of the New Year, Qin Qin Keqing and I will go home together."

Qin Ye laughed happily: "Good, good, good. If my son-in-law is busy, it doesn't matter if you don't come."

He looked at this son-in-law, Jia Hui, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he was.

It was just that he was too greedy for flowers and lustful.

Now, what number had the concubines reached?

However, Qin Ye was already satisfied enough.

After all, their mansion was just a small household.

Qin Qin Qin Keqing was already living very well.

So he had no opinion.

He still treated Jia Hui with three parts of flattery.

After all, his own sons were now studying at the Peerless Earl’s Mansion.

Jia Hui was the only backing for the Qin Ye family.

He knew Jia Hui was very busy.

There must be many people coming to pay New Year’s greetings.

In the capital during the Spring Festival, from court officials to commoners, people coming and going on the roads for days.

It’s just that scholars and commoners each pay respects to their relatives and friends, all with sincerity.

Only court officials visit each other, often with superficial love and lack of dedication.

However, it is not necessary for every household to visit in person.

Because upper-class scholars have the custom of exchanging name cards to congratulate each other.

Often using servants to hold name cards to go on their behalf.

After all, top-level powerful people all have wide social circles; if they visit every house to pay New Year’s greetings, it is both time-consuming and energy-consuming, so some friends who are not closely related do not go in person, but choose to send servants to take a card made of plum blossom paper, two inches wide and three inches long, with the recipient’s name, address, and congratulatory words written on it, to pay New Year’s greetings on their behalf.

But top-level powerful people still find it necessary.

In Qin Ye’s view,

Jia Hui should at least pay New Year’s greetings to top big shots Love Love Like Xiao Xiao Xiao Qinyan, Grand Marshal Sang Wei, and Grand Tutor Song Yucheng to build good relationships.

Hearing his words, Jia Hui shook his head: "No, I must go."

Actually, it wasn't that he cared much.

He was just too lazy to visit house by house.

It just so happened to be an excuse.

Saying he wanted to go to his women’s homes, so he didn't have to go to so many others.

However, in reality, most people Love Love Like Sheng Hong and Gao Hu would take the initiative to visit.

"Son-in-law, you have a heart."

Qin Ye said with emotion.

Jia Hui smiled, looking at Qin Ye, who was in good spirits but was already not young, around forty years old, yet was still only a fifth-rank official.

Although his other fathers-in-law, Sheng Hong, Gao Hu, etc., were about the same rank.

But compared to Qin Ye, they belonged to the type with a bright future.

There was still a chance to rise again.

By comparison,

if Qin Ye relied solely on himself,

wanting to be promoted again,

without special opportunity, was almost impossible.

Taking advantage of the fact that the banquet had not yet officially started,

and the Retired Emperor and the Emperor had not yet appeared,

in a corner, he asked, "Father-in-law, do you have any desire to advance in your official career?"

Qin Ye was stunned, his old face flushed, and he said: "Those who are officials naturally all have the desire to advance, to display their talents, and to serve the country and the imperial court."

Jia Hui understood after hearing this.

If Qin Ye had no desire to advance, then he wouldn't care so much.

Just provide him with luxury and support him well.

After all, Jia Hui had many subordinates.

Official positions were limited.

If it wasn't necessary, he wouldn't waste resources.

However, since Qin Ye wanted to continue to work hard and develop in his official career,

then supporting him a little was nothing.

He still had a very good impression of this old father-in-law, Qin Ye.

He was honest as an official,

and he raised his good wife.

So as long as the other party had the heart, he should support him no matter what.

And Qin Ye was his father-in-law, his own person.

Supporting him was not benefiting an outsider.

In the officialdom, when he had needs,

he would certainly be able to help him.

Immediately,

Jia Hui considered how to arrange for Qin Ye.

He was a fifth-rank civil official in the Ministry of Works.

Military positions certainly didn't need to be considered.

Civil officials were divided into capital officials and local officials.

If it was a local civil official,

since he was being supported and promoted, then he had to be promoted to count as support.

Then it had to be at least the fourth rank.

And fourth-rank local civil officials roughly included Prefect, Native Prefect, and Salt Transport Commissioner.

The Native Prefect would not be considered first, because the Native Prefect was also called a Tusi.

Simply put, it was a civil official chief of a Tusi, inherited by tribal leaders in ethnic minority areas.

So Qin Ye didn't need to consider it.

The remaining Prefect and Salt Transport Commissioner were both fat jobs.

A most classic officialdom saying:

"Three years as a clean prefect, ten years of snowy silver," that was talking about this prefect!

That guy Jia Yucun was a prefect in Ying Tian Prefecture before.

He had made at least 100,000 taels of silver.

And given his greed, it was absolutely only higher and not lower.

Therefore, if Qin Ye were to be a prefect,
