逐句解 Line by line
Pilgrim heard this and could not help laughing aloud. "Your Highness, you have no idea how these things go.
呵呵笑 is the open, easy laugh, quite different from the faint cold one he gave when the prince first prostrated himself. 好不會事 is affectionately rude — literally very much not knowing affairs, meaning you do not understand how this works. Addressing a ruler as someone who does not know how things are done is a liberty, and it is the moment the two of them start getting on.
We who have left home are only too eager to pass the thing on to a few disciples.
出家人, one who has left the household, is the ordinary term for a monk — you leave your family to enter the religious life. 巴不得 is a wonderful colloquial phrase, still in daily use, for wanting something so much you can hardly wait; 得 in it is read de. The answer to an offer of a city's wealth is that they were hoping somebody would ask.
The prince has offered everything he owns for something the disciples would have given away. Pilgrim tells him so by laughing at him, and it is the warmest exchange in the chapter.
