"How much does it cost for your grandson to study?"
Mu Yunbai heard what the old man said and knew that he knew very little about the origin of the bowl, so he stopped asking and changed the topic.
"His tuition for one semester is more than 5,000 yuan," the old man said with a confused expression.
"This kid is trying to live up to his expectations.
He went out to work on his own after taking the college entrance examination.
He said he wanted to earn his own tuition, but how can he earn it as a student?
I paid so much money to worship my ancestors in the middle of July a while ago, so I chanted a few words in front of my ancestors.
I didn’t expect that a wall in my house cracked yesterday.
I found this in the crack of the wall.
I think this is probably the inheritance of ancestors.
It’s my ancestor’s tuition.”
"People in the village said this is an antique and asked me to come here and try my luck."
The old man continued, "But I asked five or six people in a row, and they all said this thing is not valuable, and they can only give me four hundred yuan at most. , School is about to start, and my grandson’s tuition is not settled yet.”
"Old man, sell this bowl to me."
Upon hearing this, Mu Yunbai's eyes flashed slightly, "I'll pay 40,000."
"What are you talking about?"
The old man thought there was something wrong with his ears and looked at Mu Yunbai blankly.
"I said I would pay 40,000 yuan," Mu Yunbai repeated.
"But this is just scrap metal."
The old man's voice sounded a little excited, "They all said it was only worth four hundred yuan."
"But the child's future is more than four hundred yuan," Mu Yunbai smiled at the old man.
When the old man heard this, tears actually appeared on his old face.
He was so excited that he wiped away his tears randomly and said, "Good people, good people will be rewarded."
Mu Yunbai just smiled, then took the old man to a nearby bank, opened a passbook worth 40,000 yuan for him, and told the old man to keep it.
"Here is 40,000 yuan, so you don't have to worry about the child's four-year tuition."
Mu Yunbai explained, "But I'm afraid he still has to pay for his monthly living expenses by himself."
The old man stared at the zeros on the bankbook and counted them again and again, fearing that his eyes were dim and he had made a mistake.
After he counted it several times and was finally convinced that he had a bankbook worth 40,000 yuan, he looked at Mu Yunbai with a grateful expression, and stuffed the small bowl and the cloth bag into Mu Yunbai's hand.
Then a person dragged his legs and feet, which were not very agile, and left gratefully.
Just as they were walking back with the cloth bag in their hands, the boss of Qingxin Pavilion came out and said with a smile as before: "Hey, you took this bowl for a few hundred yuan."
"Forty thousand" Mu Yunbai smiled, but Tang Xiaoman could not feel the warmth in his smile.
"Hey, you can't," the boss said curiously, "Is it possible that I made a mistake, can you show me again?"
Mu Yunbai smiled and took out the silver bowl very generously.
The boss carefully held it in his hand and looked at it for a long time, and a group of people who had just seen this small bowl gradually gathered around him.
"This is a distressed one.
You can see the signs of distress are too obvious."
"Just give me a tael of silver and I can make a more exquisite bowl than this."
“How much did you charge for this bowl?”
"I heard it cost 40,000 yuan."
"What's 40,000?
That must have been a slap in the face.
How is this thing worth that price?"
While the onlookers were chattering away, Tang Xiaoman quietly looked at Mu Yunbai's face, not realizing that he was always calm and calm
