Hearing this for the first time, Chu Yaoguang was stunned.

After a while, she came back to her senses, frowned and said, "Are you serious?"

Guan Qing said: "The grassroots dare not speak nonsense."

Chu Yaoguang opened his mouth and said, "If you want to betroth your son to me, you should have inquired about it in advance. You should know whether I have a fiancé, or a fiancé bestowed by His Majesty."

"Caomin naturally knows." Guan Qing said seriously.

Chu Yaoguang recalled that he dared to marry her son to him as a servant.

"Caomin knows that his status is humble, and he never dares to let Xiaoer be compared with the son of the Lu family, let alone think about the position of the emperor. He only asks for the position of a servant for Xiaoer. If he can succeed, it will be a great blessing. " Guan Qing said.

Chu Yaoguang didn't know what to say.

Although scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen were at the bottom at this time, it was too much effort to pay [-] million for his son to marry into the royal family as a concubine.

After understanding Guan Qing's appeal, Chu Yaoguang shook his head: "I won't accept the official son, the official patriarch should give up."

Guan Qing, who thought she was sure of everything, had a slightly stiff expression.

Isn't the queen's heart moved?How could you refuse?

Mu Furong on the side also showed surprise. After all, this is a uniquely good thing, except that being a merchant is a bit criticized, there is nothing bad about it.

Guan Qing struggled to think about the reason for Chu Yaoguang's refusal, her expression fluctuating.

"Is it possible that Your Highness is worried about the ugly appearance of the child?" Guan Qing had a flash of inspiration, and quickly explained, "Although the child is only handsome, he is by no means ugly. If His Highness really doesn't like it, just go back and find a yard where you can settle it."

Chu Yaoguang shook his head: "You misunderstood, I really just don't want to accept servants."

Guan Qing didn't believe it, and organized his words, trying to impress Chu Yaoguang: "If His Highness is willing to accept the child, in addition to what Caomin has promised now, Caomin will also offer a dowry, which will never be less than 5 taels of silver."

In order to cling to the royal family, he not only sacrificed his son's happiness, but even posted a huge amount of property.

To be honest, Chu Yaoguang didn't understand this kind of behavior.

"Master Guan, I said that if I don't know how to accept servants, I still can't accept servants. If you can't convince me, you should make another condition." Chu Yaoguang shook his head.

Guan Qing didn't expect to be rejected so thoroughly that she was [-]% sure, her forehead was almost sweating, and her whole body became anxious: "How on earth is Your Highness willing to accept a child as a servant?"

Chu Yaoguang wished he could pour the tea from the cup on Guan Qing's face, so that she could wake up.

I feel like I can't hear myself at all.

"There is no reason, and I don't have any needs. I just simply don't want to accept the servant. The master of the official family should stop nagging at the servant." Chu Yaoguang said tiredly.

This time Guan Qing finally listened to it, she fell silent, and slowly accepted that the princess she valued did not want to get married.

"Caomin has no other conditions," Guan Qing calmed down and said calmly, "Your Highness can't give Caomin what he wants, and Caomin will naturally not give His Highness any convenience."

After finally waiting for Guan Qing to accept the reality, Chu Yaoguang began to accept the fact that he could not provide any benefits to local snakes like Guan Qing except for his status.

Chu Yaoguang frowned: "Master Guan, your food price is too outrageous. If you refuse to give in at all, I will not show any mercy to you during the rectification."

Guan Qing hesitated for a moment, but compromised slightly with Chu Yaoguang's power, saying: "The grass people will adjust the price of food, but they will never follow the original price. Your Royal Highness, after the flood, it is not easy for anyone. The money in the hands of the grass people is not easy." The wind blows."

It can be tens of thousands of taels at every turn, and even the strong wind can't blow so much.

Chu Yaoguang nodded: "Thank you."

That's it, there's nothing more to say.

Guan Qing personally sent them to the gate of Yipin Building.

Seeing Chu Yaoguang's leaving back, Guan Qing sighed softly with a regretful expression.

The subordinates thought about her expression, and reminded softly: "Patriarch, there is still a princess in Zhen'an. The slaves have inquired about it, but the Miao family has not had time to do it yet."

Guan Qing shook her head: "There is no need to contact that princess."

The subordinates were puzzled: "I heard that the princess is gentle and affectionate, and getting married should be easier than this one. Why did the Patriarch refuse?"

Guan Qing waved her hand: "What do you know, the princess is not someone like us who can pick and choose at will. If the princess finds out who we were looking for first, he will go to her only if he is not successful. If we fail to get married, I am afraid there will be grudges."

Suddenly, his subordinates nodded.

After bidding farewell to Guan Qing, Chu Yaoguang and Mu Furong went back to Huang Mansion together.

To be honest, Chu Yaoguang was a little disappointed.

After all, so much money and food has nothing to do with her.

But when she thought about it, at least the food price had been adjusted, and her goal of meeting with Guan Qing had been achieved.

Chu Yaoguang casually asked Mu Furong, "Are there many rich merchants in Yangzhou?"

"There are a lot," Mu Furong said, "Yangzhou is a first-class rich and prosperous place, this time the waterlogging is only a disaster for the common people, the rich and powerful have no serious problems at all, and some even made a fortune from the waterlogging. "

"Your Highness, don't look at the fact that the rice shops in the official house are empty. When the waterlogging just subsided, even if it was five or six times more expensive, many people gritted their teeth and bought it."

Chu Yaoguang pondered.

Sure enough, she still couldn't easily let go of the fat sheep of the official family. She had to find some way to get some money from the official family.

Mu Furong probably saw the coveting in her eyes on the official family, so she quietly approached: "Your Highness, in fact, I have a way to get some money from the official family."

Chu Yaoguang was surprised: "Master Mu, please tell me."

Mu Furong said: "Isn't the owner of the official family just wanting her son to marry your highness, your highness can let go and not refuse so thoroughly. The humble minister then went to tell the owner of the official family that there is a way to persuade your highness, but it only takes a little bit." money."

"After that, Your Highness can try to meet the official son, and show a little hesitation and liking just right every time we meet."

"In order to make the relationship between you and her son go further, to meet her expectations, the official will definitely want you to meet more often. This minister pretends that it is difficult for you to agree to meet. Meet once and ask for benefits once."

After hearing her idea, Chu Yaoguang suddenly understood why Master Mu was imprisoned for "acting cunningly".

This is too dark.

Mu Furong still said to herself: "If Your Highness really develops some affection with the official son, everyone will be happy. If there is no feeling, then after getting enough money, continue to refuse and it's over. Forgive the official and the patriarch. Dare to question you."

"It's an idea, but let's forget it. It's too much to refuse after meeting the official son and expressing your affection." Chu Yaoguang thought for a while, then shook his head.

She doesn't have any psychological burden for an old fox like Jue Guanqing, but it's too much to bring in an innocent son and give him a bad name of being abandoned in the end.

Mu Furong was not discouraged even though she was rejected: "Think about it again, I will never let His Highness down."

Chu Yaoguang smiled: "Okay."

In Chu Yaoguang's eyes, rejecting Guan Qing's proposal to accept a waiter was just a trivial matter, and there was nothing to talk about.

But she didn't expect that this matter would be known by Lu Xingyun.
