Chapter 4 Young Master Huainan

In Huainan City, four people walked side by side along the way. One of them, who was dressed as a monk but had half an inch long hair, said to a big man next to him: "Santong, after many years, can you find that chamber of commerce?"

This person was naturally Zhang Chi. Santong counted his steps, but did not make a sound immediately. He led the three of them forward dozens of steps, and finally stopped and said to the three of them confidently: "I'm counting right, it's definitely here."

After saying that, he was about to walk in.

When Zhang Chi heard this, he almost fell into a slight incident. He found his feelings with a few steps. When he was studying in Huainan, he was as big as his steps now? However, when he looked up, he suddenly felt that the thunder was not serious just now, because on the plaque on the gate of the street-facing house in front of him, there were only three big words written in red and gold edges: Baihualou.

There was also a row of girls standing at the door, attracting guests from inside.

Zhang Chi couldn't help but look at Daoyuan and Daoxuan, called Santong, patted him on the shoulder, and joked: "Take the monk to the brothel, you are really the first one I have ever seen."

Santong had never entered a brothel in her life, so she didn't know what a brothel was like. But he did know that there was a group of girls in the chamber of commerce who were the habit of attracting guests at the door?

While he was wondering why a good chamber of commerce was changed into a brothel, a big-eared and fat-headed playboy was walking out of the Baihua Building. While walking, he complained: "If I hadn't seen that the lady of the Wang family had more money than me, I would have been angry long ago."

Behind him, two submissive domestic slaves nodded.

After the young master finished speaking, he hugged the woman next to him and asked, "Xiao Cui, after I leave, do you miss me?"

"Young Master Pei is handsome and elegant, romantic and affectionate. How could I not want to?" the woman said with a flattering smile.

Mr. Pei has big ears and fat heads. Anyone with eyes knows that he has no relationship with handsome and romantic life in his life. However, when Mr. Pei hears this, he is overjoyed and shouts: "Reward, reward."

"But young master, I have given all the money I brought today." Pei Lu said.

"Bastard, why don't you bring more?"

Pei Lu was actually very depressed. Although the iron money was not heavy, it was not easy to take too much. The young master only knew how to reward him, but never asked how much. There were many mountains of gold and silver, but he couldn't recite them. However, he didn't dare to say these words, and could only mutter in his heart.

"If I weren't handsome and romantic, how could I dare call Pei Juncai?" Mr. Pei smiled at Xiao Cui thought he was passionate, touched Xiao Cui's butt and said, "I will definitely give you more rewards next time I come."

After saying that, Mr. Pei turned around and went out, cursing the lady of the Wang family in his heart, but he bumped into the arms of a big man standing at the door.

"Bold! Are you blind?" Pei Lu took the lead and pointed at Santong and shouted.

Santong looked very innocent and thought to herself that it was you who came to hit me, but I stood here and didn't move. Why am I blind?

Pei Lu originally wanted to shock the person who dared to hit Mr. Pei. Unexpectedly, he was shocked by Mr. Pei: "What the hell is called? He drank all day long. No wonder Miss Wang said that I was useless. It was all your servant."

Mr. Pei pointed at Pei Lu and scolded, then said to another slave Pei Fu: "Your son, I am very reasonable."

Pei Lu was scolded so much that he dared not speak, so he stepped aside and lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

Just now, Mr. Pei suddenly saw three monks standing behind Santong. With a "huh", it was very strange. Zhang Chi felt that it should not be because he saw the monk, but because he should have the expression he should have when he saw Spider-Man or Batman.

"Monk? Bald donkey also seeks prostitutes?"

Daoxuan was young and energetic, how could he endure it? He heard the word "bald donkey" and was angry. He raised his fist and was about to hit him, but Daoyuan pressed it down and chanted the Buddha's name and said, "Amitabha."

Daoxuan had always heard his senior brother and had to put down his fist again.

Santong was about to step forward, but Zhang Chi said with a smile: "Brother, why bother? We don't fight for porcelain with clay pots. If we want to fight, you may be the one who breaks, but you must be the one who is valuable. Can you bite you even if you bite you? If a person encounters a bad dog, it is better to leave first."

"It's the most wonderful and wonderful thing. It's this reason. It's better for us to leave first." Daoxuan said happily when he heard this.

After saying that, the four of them walked into the crowd. A crowd of people surging in front of the Baihua Tower. After a while, the four of them were swept away by the crowd.

Pei Juncai smacked his lips, thought for a long time, and then asked, "What did they mean just now?"

"Young Master, he called you an evil dog." Pei Lu said.

"You think I'm a fool, you can't even hear this?" Mr. Pei slapped Pei Lu in the face in anger, "I'm asking what he started talking about porcelain."

"Young Master, he compared them to porcelain and to clay pots. Clay pots are stronger, but porcelain is more expensive." Pei Fu immediately said with a smile when he saw Pei Lu being beaten.

Pei Fu knows much more than that idiot Pei Lu. Mr. Pei thought to himself, he is more precious than me? "Is it because the person who hit me and those three monks just now are richer than me?"

"It probably didn't," Pei Fu said carefully, "How can those four people wear civilian clothes be richer than the young master?"

After hearing Pei Fu's words, Mr. Pei was relieved. Mr. Pei's family was very rich. Apart from Miss Wang, he had never seen anyone who was more generous than him.

"Yes, there are a few rich people in the world today who are as rich as the Wang family."

After all, there are not many people with the name and truth in this world. For example, although Pei Juncai is called Juncai, he may not be Juncai. On the contrary, his two slaves, Pei Fu and Pei Lu, really pay for their blessings and pay for their blessings.

"Young Master, I think the Wang family is now in power in the court. If the young master becomes a good thing with the young lady of the Wang family, the young master will definitely rise to the top and have a high official and a generous salary." Pei Fu said.

Of course Pei Lu would not miss this opportunity to flatter, and he was busy saying congratulations.

Mr. Pei waved his hand and said, "Do you think being an official is so fun? You have to go to the Baihualou again and sit in the hall, so how happy you are now to visit Baihualou? I want to marry the Wang family, not to cling to the power of the Wang family, but because the Wang family was born beautifully and her skin was whiter than Xiao Cui in Baihualou; that figure was even more seductive than Xiao Cui in Baihualou; that look was even more….”

It seems that he has only seen Xiao Cui, a woman.

"You are just some snobs. How can you understand your son's thoughts?" Mr. Pei said, then lowered his head and thought, "But how can you get the favor of Miss Wang?"

After thinking for a while, Pei Lu continued, "Young Master, I think that Miss Wang's family is invincible and powerful, and he must like a man who is stronger than her. If the young master can be tougher than her, he will be against her everywhere, but can overwhelm her in everything. If he thinks of a hero like her, he will definitely make her fall in love with her."

"Wonderful, why didn't I expect it?" Mr. Pei slapped his thigh.

Just as Mr. Pei and his two slaves were still discussing how to pick up girls, Zhang Chi and the other four had already found the Dachang Chamber of Commerce. In fact, they were looking for the Chamber of Commerce for Zhang Chi, because after the past two days of walking on the mountain road, Zhang Chi's legs were as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

Santong was very loyal. These three people saved this life. Later, he followed the three people all the way south and took all the job of finding ways to get water. He would have some fists and kicks with Dao Xuanxue if he had anything to do. Dao Xuan was happy and relaxed. He learned to sing with Zhang Chi all day long, but unfortunately his voice was too ugly, which often made Zhang Chi sweat.

Zhang Chi came from time to time. Before that, when did he walk so many roads? After a few days, blood bubbles appeared on his feet. Santong saw it and suggested that there were caravans in Huainan City, and they would travel to Huainan every once in a while. If he could join the caravan, he could ride a horse and ride a car until Jiankang.

Unfortunately, Santong, a bandit, failed. After robbing for so long, he didn't have a penny except for saving some food.

He didn't, but fortunately there was a long way to go.

These days, the four of them have been paid by Daoyuan. Santong didn't know why a monk was richer than a bandit. He also thought that he was not famous, but why was the master willing to take him all the way south?

Daoyuan seemed to be able to see what he was thinking in his heart, and just smiled and said, "You and Mr. Zhang are both destined to Buddha."

"Can I be a monk in the future?"

Unfortunately, I am far away and cherish my words, so I will never say much if I just say this sentence. However, Santong saw that Zhang Chi was open-minded by nature and never asked much. It was natural to eat, drink, and enjoy it.

He was content with everything, even before traveling through time, Zhang Chi had the same personality. He never asked why the old monk took him. Since he had no choice but to travel through time, he would go with the flow, which made his mind more open-minded. Now he found that everything could be seen lightly, and he still squinted his eyes all day long as he never woke up.

He could not care about anything or be surprised. But he was really a little surprised now. Because he really didn't expect that this old monk Daoyuan, who was silent all day long and could not make a sound even with a stick, was really famous.

The shopkeeper of the Dachang Chamber of Commerce was surnamed Li, who was over fifty years old, but he was very respectful to Daoyuan: "The master was famous all over the world when he studied Buddhism with Master Shi Daoan. He was a Buddhist monk and traveled thousands of miles south. He was really admirable to spread the Dharma in Jiangnan. Master should not mention this travel expenses. Instead, I should use it on the plate. I hope the master will not refuse."

Santong pulled Zhang Chi's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Who is Master Shi Daoan?"

Zhang Chi said truthfully: "I don't know."

The beads and agate on the table made Santong's eyes hurt. Not only did the shopkeeper not charge money, but he was afraid that others would not want it. Santong was very surprised by the side. However, when he saw Daoyuan refused without even looking at it, it became even more strange.

"You are polite to the donor, and you dare not receive any reward without any merit. Monks have always been a simple meal, and they only ask for it. The donor is kind to you, please forgive me for not receiving it."

When the shopkeeper saw that Daoxuan was not accepted, he looked embarrassed: "If the master refuses, it will be difficult for me to do it. To be honest, the head of the family is the Wang family in Taiyuan. Since the migration to the south, all dynasties have valued Buddhism and Taoism."

"If the head of the family knew that the master came to my Dachang Chamber of Commerce, but I had no idea, I would probably be incredible to be the shopkeeper of the Dachang Chamber of Commerce in the future." The shopkeeper said in his sigh.

"Respecting Buddha is not about bribing monks." Daoyuan still smiled and said, "If an adult respects Buddha and Taoism, he must be a person who does good deeds. How could he get used to it because of trivial matters?"

After saying that, Daoyuan stopped talking.

Manager Li had no choice but to pack up the items on the table and said, "Since that's the case, I can't force it. The caravan will start in another day. My lady is currently in Huainan and is now discussing specific matters with the caravan accompanying the caravan. There are also some famous Huainan scholars. It is natural that the mage is accompanying him, but he still has to meet my lady and the crowd of people accompanying him."

Manager Li led the way. After a while, he brought the four of them to a hall and said, "I'm sorry, please wait, I'll go and pass on the news."

When Santong saw Manager Li walking into the back hall, she asked in a low voice: "Master Daoyuan, why don't you want this Manager Li gives you so many valuable things?"

"You should not easily get involved without exploring the depth of the water." Daoyuan continued to carry forward his style of cherishing words and saying nothing more.

Santong waited for a long time, but saw that Dao was far away from the following words, so she was very disappointed. Then she turned to look at Zhang Chi. The meaning of the expression was obvious at a glance: I didn't understand.

"Others' money is not that easy to get." Zhang Chi patted Santong on the shoulder, "Now there are many gentry and are in power alternately. This royal family is now in full swing, but who knows whether he will fall tomorrow, so it's better to say it."

Santong suddenly felt that she was so loyal and honest, but she didn't expect that even monks were so powerful.

When Miss Wang came out, not only Miss Wang, but also a large group of people. They were all famous families, and even Mr. Pei was among them.

Before Miss Wang could speak, someone whispered loudly: "There are so many eminent monks in this world. I am afraid that the name of this eminent monk will be obtained by deceiving the world."

Miss Wang frowned slightly, then introduced to Daoyuan: "Master, this is Huan Heng, a famous scholar in Jingzhou."

Only then did Daoyuan see this man, with long eyebrows and thin eyes, white face and blue beard.

Before the Tao was far away, the man continued to question: "Although I am not a monk, I have read Buddhist scriptures all over the world. The monk called himself a long road to seek Buddha, so he should mean that the road to seek Buddha is long. Don't you know that Buddhism is profound, but you can use the intention to refer to the original mind. If you give up the original and seek Buddhism outside, isn't it a labor without any effort and no realization?"

Daoyuan is not good at speaking and speaking, and when he sees this person criticizing him, he smiles but does not answer.

Seeing that Daoyuan had not answered, he continued to ask: "Mr. Shi Daoan's view of emptiness made me suddenly realize, but there are still many confusions. Master Daoyuan once studied Buddhism with Master Shi Daoan. I don't know if he could get the essence of it. I'll ask me today."

Daoyuan still didn't answer.

"I heard from Master Daoan that, 'Nothing is before all transformations, emptiness is the beginning of all forms.' Monks also said that the four elements are empty, so how can the Dharma be empty?"

Daoyuan still doesn't answer.

Mr. Huan sneered and said, "I have heard that Master Daoyuan has been with Master Shi Daoan for many years and has studied Buddhism carefully. Now it seems that he has spread rumors. These rumors in the market are indeed unreliable."

Daoyuan looked calm, but Daoxuan on the other side was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Unfortunately, he had not read two Buddhist scriptures in full. How could he argue with others about Buddhism?

When Huan Heng saw Daoxuan being stunned, he walked up with a sneer and said to Zhang Chi and Daoxuan: "I often hear that the saints will let people know without saying anything. Master Daoyuan disdains to talk to me. The two young masters follow the monks, and I believe that they may gain something and will teach me."

"Duke Huan is a famous scholar in the south of the Yangtze River. How can a famous scholar be without wine in his conversation? If there is wine, I will teach you." Zhang Chi has always been above the top and never convinced others. Moreover, his skills in his mouth have never been weaker than others. How can he see others so arrogant and aggressive?

Huan Heng really regretted asking more questions. He didn't expect that this monk would really climb along the rod, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth secretly.

Miss Wang's family saw that the young monk opened her mouth and asked for wine, but Daoyuan was not at all dissatisfied, and she was surprised. The monk was drinking? She couldn't bear to smile.

Huan Heng had a clear talk, and she had heard of it. She had been busy these days, so she might as well take a break and join in the fun and see it. So she smiled and said, "I heard that Duke Huan likes to talk, and he was intrigued by the fun. If the monk wanted to have wine to help him enjoy himself, I would be the host and hold a banquet to talk about it."

Zhang Chi had already decided to tease Duke Huan for some time, and he raised his head in Santong's tone and said, "You don't know, I am a monk."

Of course, everyone laughed.
