Gao Qiu followed Su Shi and walked into the Houya. Not long after, he arrived outside the living room of the Houya. Gao Qiu looked inside and saw a kind-hearted old monk sitting there, about sixty years old, and his eyebrows were already gray.

"Hey! It's indeed this bald donkey! I didn't expect that after many years of separation, I actually met here today. I must play with him!"

Seeing the person coming clearly, Su Shi's heart was filled with gloom, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He actually began to think about how to deal with the monk inside.

"Cough!" Su Shi coughed deliberately, cleared his throat, then walked into the living room with big strides, and shouted loudly, "Hey? Didn't the yamen runner say that someone was looking for me again? He also said that he was a great monk, why didn't I see anyone? Where are the people?"

In fact, the monk in Su Shi's mouth sat peacefully on the seat on his right hand, but Su Shi went over in front of the monk, pretending to be invisible, looking around, and walking towards the master's position. Gao Qiu knew that Su Shi did it on purpose, but I think Su Shi had a good relationship with the monk who came to visit, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a joke.

Gao Qiu stood beside Su Shi without saying a word.

"Ahem! Damn it! Someone just said that a great monk came to me. Did you see him there?"

Looking straight out of the living room, as if there was no one on his left hand, Su Shi deliberately asked the high ball beside him.

Gao Qiu felt that Su Shi was making no words to talk. After all, looking at the monk's appearance, he thought that if Su Shi didn't find a way to reveal this, the monk wouldn't speak, so he stopped hesitating and said, "Sir, that master is sitting there!"

"Oh! This is true! I said to Zen Master Yuan, you have made a lot of diligence in Buddhism recently! Sitting there, if there was no reminder of me, I wouldn't have found you here!"

Pretending to be surprised, Su Shi obviously did not give up the opportunity to fight with Zen Master Yuan and continued to tease Yuan.

"Amitabha!" Le Yuan clasped his hands together, recited a Buddha's name in his mouth, and then slowly opened his eyes, with a smile on his lips, "Mr. Su has been trapped in the officialdom for a long time, and his eyes are naturally covered by the words "fame and profit". It's not that he can't see the monk, but he probably doesn't want to see it. And this little donor hasn't been exposed to these things, and his mind is pure and his eyes are not mixed with a trace of desire, so he can naturally see the monk."

"Oh? Old bald donkey, what's wrong with me if you say that?"

Su Shi revealed dissatisfaction in his words, but there was no displeasure on his face. He obviously did not take Yuan's words to heart.

"Amitabha, Mr. Su's words are so harsh. But I see that this little donor is talented and has a lot of wisdom. I wonder if he is willing to go to the monk Qingdeng Ancient Buddha?"

Le Yuan knew very well about his old friend, so he didn't bother him much, but he was concerned about Gao Qiu. It is rare for children like this to be seen.

"Hey! I said you bald donkey..."

Su Shi, who didn't care much, immediately refused to do so after Yuan said the last sentence. If something like Yuan said happened, let alone whether he was willing or not, the fire would immediately catch in the backyard!

"Mr. Su, I am asking this little donor about this matter, why are you so anxious?"

It is rare to meet people with "wisdom roots", especially such a young child, so Le Yuan really cares about it this time.

"Hey~! I said you are bald..."

Su Shi's eyebrows were frowning together, and he was obviously going to have a fight with Yuan.

"Sir, wait!" Gao Qiu would not sit still and watch Su Shi and Le Yuan quarrel, so he spoke to stop Su Shi, then turned to Le Yuan and asked naively, "Zen Master, what would happen if I believed in Buddhism with you?"

"What will happen? Read Buddhist scriptures, understand Buddhist principles, and the ancient Buddha in the green lamp, and your heart will be at peace!"

Although Leyuan is not a professional charlatan, he is also a Buddhist and knows more or less a little about fooling people.

"The heart is peaceful? I have been kneeling in front of the Buddha for three thousand years, but I have not seen my Buddha feel pity. It is because the dust covers the Buddha's eyes. I am afraid that it is just because I have not presented incense money. What does the so-called heart be peaceful have to do with the Buddha? As long as I am upright and sit straight, my heart will naturally calm down? What does this have to do with the Buddha?"

The Internet was only developed in later generations, and many classic dialogues were widely circulated, so Gaoqiu didn't need to think too much, and immediately came up with refuting Yuan's words.

"Amitabha. Little donor, are there any misunderstandings here? Buddha is Buddha, without greed, what's the use of asking for incense money?"

For the first time, Zen Master Leyuan discovered that it was so difficult for a child to deal with, but he had already spoken. If a child refuted it, especially if this child is still with Su Shi, then he would probably be lowered in front of Su Shi in the future.

"Why do you have to worship him if the Buddha is not greedy? If the Buddha does not love vain, why do you have to worship him? People in the world will have Buddha in their hearts, but there are people in their hearts who have never seen Buddha."

Gao Qiu is disgusted from the bottom of his heart for Buddhism. Although he can't say he hates it, he can't say he likes it.

"Amitabha!"

He recited the Buddha's name, but Le Yuan didn't say anything else. He didn't know if he was too exhausted or he was unwilling to argue with a child like Gao Qiu.

However, Gao Qiu didn't care about this. Even though Le Yuan did not respond to him, he continued to say, "I suffered all the sufferings on earth, but the Buddha told me that everything has a fixed number. Since everything has a fixed number, why do you still have to kneel down and worship? Always say that you save all sentient beings, but where are the people who are truly saved by the Buddha? I don't want to question whether the Buddha exists or not, but I don't want the so-called Buddha to disturb my current purity."

"The little donor is exquisite and clear, but I am a monk, Amitabha."

Le Yuan could only sigh that Gao Qiu was so smart and said that he had accepted the defeat by saying the Buddha's name.

Gao Qiu, who defeated Le Yuan, was not at all happy at all, but was a little disappointed. He clasped his hands together and recited a Buddha's name, "Amitabha, you are talking nonsense, you are so rude. I hope the Zen master will not be surprised."

"Okay! It's not a big deal. Le Yuan, you came to me today and just wanted to come to poach me, right? Just tell me if you have any questions! Don't cover up with me!"

After having been with Lao Yuan for many years, Su Shi, the great monk, would not come to me to recite poems when he was in office. In addition, he was really unhappy when he found Gao Qiu, so he gave Lao Yuan a step, which could be considered as letting go of everything that happened just now.

"Amitabha, Mr. Su, I do have something to come to you, but it's not my own business, but..."

Speaking of the serious business, Le Yuan changed his appearance as a charlatan just now and became worried.

"But is there a drought in Hangzhou Prefecture?"

Before Yuan could finish speaking, Gao Qiu had already interrupted Yuan's words and then followed his words.

"This... is not bad! To be honest, in recent years, I have been placing orders at Lingyin Temple on Feilai Peak near West Lake. I originally planned to go out for a trip this year, but I happened to catch up with this drought. I also heard that Mr. Su, you are going to be the governor of Hangzhou Prefecture. For both public and private, I cannot leave like this. Therefore, when you first took office in a few years, I took the liberty to disturb you. Wan Wang Su, can save the people of Hangzhou Prefecture!"

Le Yuan's face was solemn. It was obvious that this incident had troubled him for a day or two, otherwise he would not have been so anxious. Su Shi came to Lin'an City just now.

However, what Su Shi said to the officials in the state just now was true, so when facing Yuan's request, Su Shi could only sigh and said, "Oh! Master, you are also a person who has wandered in the officialdom. There are some things you don't know. The drought that you told me was already told me when I handed over the official documents today, but I can't come up with tangible evidence. How could I submit a memorial to the court? If Su Shi's mouth works so well, would I still sit here and say these words to the monk?"

The meaning of Su Shi's words is that if I, Su Shi, were so useful, today I would have been to the Pavilion and the Prime Minister, so where would I invite me to come to Hangzhou Prefecture?

Gao Qiu understood that no matter how good the scenery in Hangzhou Prefecture is, it cannot realize Su Shi's political ideals. Only the political center far away in Tokyo is where Su Shi most hopes to stay, but what is the use of hope? Reality is always destroying people's hope.

"gentlemen……"

I was afraid that Su Shi would be angry again, so I knew that Su Shi was not young anymore, so Gao Qiu came to Su Shi and wanted to comfort him.

"Okay, god, I'm fine." Su Shi smiled and shook his head, indicating that he had no problem, then turned around and looked at Zen Master Xingleyuan, "Master, if you don't come today, this matter will be really not easy to deal with, but if you come today, I have an idea."

"Oh? What's the idea?"

Subconsciously, Zen Master Leyuan asked.

"That's right. No matter what the drought is this year, the West Lake Canal needs to be dredged, and the matter of sealing the fields in West Lake is imminent, so I would like to just borrow these two things and ask the court for some certificates of decrees. It takes time for official documents to communicate. When the certificates distributed by the court arrived in Hangzhou Prefecture, the drought situation would probably arise. At that time, it will be possible to provide relief to the victims. Do you think this is good?"

After all, after being an official for many years, Su Shi still knew how to take advantage of the situation, but it was not for the sake of making profits for himself. Su Shi was so at ease.
