Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 418
Liu Yu laughed and said nothing after seeing it through, but the other three people really couldn't see how Jia Kui wanted to prove his point.

"What did Liang Dao mean by finding these two stones?"

Jiang Ji stared at the two stones suspiciously, and Man Chong also shook his head.

"That's right. Didn't you mean that forming alliances with foreign races is not good for Bingzhou? What do these two stones represent?"

Jiang Ji and Man Chong raised doubts one after another.

And Mao Jie preconceived that Jia Kui was sensationalizing, so he became a little impatient.

"If you have a high opinion, please speak quickly, the ink on my pen is almost dry."

"Master Gongcao, don't worry, wait for me to demonstrate first, and you will understand."

Jia Kui still didn't say why he shouldn't form an alliance with foreigners, but pushed the big rock with his hands and hit the small one, and then the small stone moved on the table under the force of the big rock.

In this way, the big rock kept pushing the small stone to the paperweight on the table, and then Jia Kui continued to push hard until the paperweight was squeezed under the table by the small stone and fell to pieces.

The paperweight shattered into pieces with a snap, but Jiang Ji and Man Chong exclaimed "Hello" at the same time.

"wonderful!"

"Jia Liangdao really has a plan!"

It turned out that when the paperweight was pushed off the table, the two finally figured out what Jia Kui was thinking.

But there was one person at the table who didn't understand, and because the paperweight was smashed, Mao Jie's upright beard flew around.

"Bold! This thing was used by Master State Shepherd, how dare you..."

At this time, Mao Jie is in no mood to listen to some clever ideas, and if the thing he loves is destroyed, he will turn his face on the spot.

And Jia Kui was also proud of his talent, and wanted to be a surprise, but he didn't expect that the mere paperweight would be regarded as a treasure by Mao Jie, and he panicked.

"I'm reckless, and I ask Mr. Gongcao to punish me."

Jia Kui was just a commoner, while Mao Jie was an official in Bingzhou. It is no joke to offend officials.

He really wanted to give Mao Jie a new paperweight, but he was short of money, and he didn't know what to do for a moment, so he could only kneel down humbly on the ground.

"Do you think you can tease me like this with a little talent? It's really hateful!"

Mao Jie's heart was pierced by a knife. He bought the paperweight from his colleagues at a high price. This move was not only to please Cao Cao, but also to keep the rising tide as a family heirloom.

The voice in the front hall attracted the guards in the yard.

"Why is Lord Gongcao angry? Did these people offend you?"

"Give me this person..."

Just as Mao Jie wanted to get angry and punish him, he suddenly realized that this place was not in his mansion, but Guo Jia's military adviser's mansion.

Moreover, today is an auspicious day for Guo Jia to open his door to recruit talents, and it is not good for Mao Jie to go to war because of a paperweight. It would be bad if it aroused Guo Jia's disgust.

"Forget it! It's just a paperweight, I don't care about him anymore!"

Mao Jie endured and endured, and finally rejected the guards. He temporarily gave up punishing Jia Kui, but Jia Kui's previous performance would also be invalidated.

"Let's stop here for today, you guys should go back to your respective residences and wait for the notice!"

Mao Jie's mood was obviously not good, not only nullified Jia Kui's performance, but also transferred his anger to other people.

Anyway, Mao Jie felt that it was enough to recommend a famous scholar Hua Xin to the backyard. Although the four people in front of him had their own characteristics, they were too young and too edgy, and they needed to polish their arrogance first.

Mao Jie gestured to see off the guests, and Jia Kui seemed to be amnesty, although he felt a little pity, but who can blame him for causing trouble.

Jiang Ji and Man Chong sighed with some complaints. They also knew that Mao Jie was in a bad mood at the moment, and if they forced him, they would only continue to annoy him, so they left the front hall one after another.

The three were downcast, only Liu Yu was overjoyed.

"I planned to prevent those three people from applying for Cao Ying, but I didn't want Jia Kui to help me a lot, and it didn't take much effort to get here!"

Liu Yu thought to himself that he must find out where the three people lived after returning later, so as to get them to Luoyang City before Cao Cao.

But he didn't intend to leave just like that now, he was already in the front hall, and this ghost Guo Jia still wanted to meet him.

Liu Yu bowed his head and pondered, the more he thought about it, the more beautiful he became, and he couldn't help showing a smug smile.

So Liu Yu's seemingly unintentional and intentional smile just caught Mao Jie's eyes. Mao Jie thought he was still laughing at what happened just now, and his face immediately became even uglier.

"All three of them have left, why are you still here laughing?"

As soon as Mao Jie made the case, he became stricter. After all, he was a meritorious service in a state, and he still paid great attention to personal dignity when facing ordinary people.

He was annoyed by Jia Kui's teasing just now, and now he doesn't intend to save face for a little-known Wen Dao.

Seeing this, Liu Yu showed no fear, and said calmly, "Master Gongcao, please give me a chance to express my thoughts in the future and express my thoughts!"

He can even deal with a tyrant like Dong Zhuo, and he can easily handle a Mao Jie.

But how can there be too many opportunities for you in the world, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.

So after Liu Yu finished speaking, he took out a white jade paperweight from his arms.

The paperweight was a counterfeit that Liu Yu bought at the system supermarket for a few hundred five-element coins, but the counterfeit after thousands of years was thousands of times more refined than the one at the end of Han Dynasty.

So when Liu Yu held the white jade paperweight in front of him, Mao Jie was immediately blinded by the crystal luster.

…………

"Where did this white jade paperweight... come from?"

This is the first time Mao Jie has seen such a beautiful jade, and a paperweight made of beautiful jade is even more precious.

So he couldn't help but took it in his hand and played with it.

Liu Yu introduced it very seriously: "This thing really has some origins. According to legend, it was used by the literati Dongfang Shuo during Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It was later collected by my ancestors and has always been regarded as a family heirloom."

When Mao Jie heard that this object was more than 200 years old and that it was used by celebrities, his evaluation of the value of this paperweight doubled again in his heart.

"If Master Gongcao likes it, keep it, and put it on me sooner or later as a drink!"

Liu Yu deliberately said it as if he didn't know the goods, which made Mao Jie scratch his heart like a cat's claw.It would be a pity if such a treasure fell into the hands of ignorant people.

"Mr. Wen Xiao, are you serious?"

Seeing him taking the bait, Liu Yu was also delighted.

"Quan should give it to Mr. Gongcao as a meeting gift!"

"It's just that I have an unfeeling request. I hope that I can go to the backyard to meet the military sacrificial wine. I also hope that Mr. Gongcao will make it easier for you."

Liu Yu cupped his fists politely, but Mao Jie fell into deep thought.

He is not purely greedy for money, but he can still distinguish the urgency of the matter.

Generally, those who come to apply for a job are not qualified to meet Guo Jia in the backyard, unless the talent is really outstanding, so he must think carefully about what Liu Yu mentioned.

But soon Mao Jie remembered Liu Yu's performance in the side hall before, and felt that Liu Yu seemed to agree with the words "outstanding talent and learning", so he accepted the white jade paperweight with a smile.
