Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 1240
"It is true that our government did not think carefully about this matter. On behalf of our government, I would like to express my apology to Fellow Daoist Tang." Sima Xian stood up and said to Tang Ning, "This was a misunderstanding. I hope Fellow Daoist Tang will forgive you. As for what I brought to Fellow Daoist Trouble, our government is willing to do its best to make up for it, if you need anything, fellow daoist, just ask."

Sima Xian, as the young Patriarch of the Sima Mansion, and a cultivator of Xuxu, was able to shamelessly apologize to Tang Ning, the younger generation of Huashen Jishou. This demeanor of not being shocked by honor or humiliation alone is enough to show that it is extraordinary. It is exactly what a man can say. .

Facing a cultivator who was refining Xu, Tangning couldn't put on airs too much, she got up and bowed her head, "I have long forgotten about this matter, and seniors don't need to keep it in mind, let alone make up for it.

He was telling the truth, but obviously no one in the room felt that way, and they all believed that Liu Ruhan's actions were instigated by him behind the scenes.

"My house has decided to hold a banquet in Donglaili City in seven days. I would like to invite Fellow Daoist Su, Fellow Daoist Liu, and Fellow Daoist Tang to participate. I wonder if the three fellow Daoists can honor you?"

Many unwritten rules in the practice world are the same as the secular world. For example, if two parties have conflicts and conflicts, one party wants to reconcile, they will hold a big banquet, invite the other party, and invite some famous local people to mediate. Apologize to the other party with a glass of wine. As long as the wine is drunk, the conflict between the two parties will be resolved.

Sima Xian's invitation to the three of them naturally meant that, and he planned to apologize to the three of them for the birthday banquet at the banquet, so as to resolve the grievance.

Seeing Liu Ruhan looking over, Tang Ning obviously wanted him to make his own decision, so she said, "My wife and I have business matters, so I might not have time to attend the banquet. I didn't take the matter of your residence's birthday banquet to heart that day. As for your residence and Let them resolve the conflicts between the disciples under the wife's command! My wife and I will not interfere. As long as the disciple agrees not to pursue your family's responsibility, we will naturally have nothing to say."

The meaning of these words was already very clear, and he didn't intend to entangle any more. Sima Xian naturally heard the voice, and said: "You Daoist Tang is magnanimous and magnanimous. I admire you. Since the two friends don't have time to attend the banquet, I won't force you. Fellow Daoist Su, seven In the future, I hope you can come to our house for a banquet."

"Okay, I will bother you when the time comes." Su Yuanhua nodded. Ever since Tangning and Liu Ruhan entered the hall, he had not interjected. He obviously wanted them to decide whether to reconcile with Sima. After making a statement, he readily agreed.

He didn't care if Tang Ning was bullied by the Sima family. The reason why he helped them was because of Liu Ruhan's sake.

The second is to regain face for Nangong Muxue.

As Liu Ruhan said, Sima's actions against Tangning actually hurt Nangong Muxue's face. This is the last thing he can tolerate. Sima is willing to hold a banquet in Lishi to make amends, so Nangong Muxue's face can be considered to be back. , he naturally wouldn't chase after Sima Shi.

"Then let's take our leave first. Seven days later, we will be waiting for Daoist Su in Donglaili City." Sima Xian got up and said.

"Sorry for delivery."

"Farewell." The two turned and left the room.

"Let's forget about this matter. They came to apologize and held a banquet in Lishi. Their attitude is already sincere enough. The master's face has been saved, and Tangning's anger should be released. Junior sister, don't embarrass them anymore. "Seeing the two of them leave, Su Yuanhua said, but looked at Tangning, obviously knowing that he was the real caller.

Liu Ruhan nodded slightly, and without saying anything, Tangning replied, "Thank you, Senior Brother Su, for your help. If the Sima family hadn't looked at Senior Brother Su, how could they have taken me and my wife seriously, let alone sent them the young Patriarch of the house?" I personally came to the door to apologize, and I am soft and apologetic."

"It's wrong, it's not for my face, how much face can I have in front of the Sima family as a column supervisor. They are just worried about the master, and they are afraid that it will make the master displeased."

"That's natural, but no matter what, if it wasn't for senior brother Su to guide the situation, my wife and I really don't know how to deal with the Sima family."

"You are my sister-in-law's husband, and we are on our own. If I don't help you, how can I help them? What's more, what my sister-in-law said is right, this matter is related to the face of the master. They deal with you, but they don't take the master seriously. How can you just sit back and do nothing? From now on, you just need to remember that you are the husband of the junior sister and the son-in-law of the master. You don’t cause trouble, and you don’t have to be afraid of it. If anyone bullies you, we will naturally vent your anger on you.”

Seeing his righteous and loving appearance, Tangning sneered in her heart, but thanked him repeatedly.

"Seven days later, Sima Xian held a banquet in Lishi to apologize, are you really not going?"

"Our husband and wife will not join in the fun. Sima Xian, as the young patriarch of the Sima Clan and a cultivator of Xuxu, it is somewhat inappropriate to make an apology to our husband and wife in front of a large audience. It seems that we are relying on our inner The position of wife and teacher is a bit aggressive. Although Sima has lost face, it will not affect us very well if it is spread. You and Sima Xian are of the same generation, and your cultivation level is one level higher than his. As our representative, accept other An apology is more appropriate than us two juniors."

"Hmm. Your consideration is not unreasonable, then okay! I will go there on behalf of you. Since Sima is willing to reconcile and show sincerity, Junior Sister, I think the seized merchant ship will be returned to them, Li Shi Don’t let people make trouble in that shop, let them reopen! As for the injured disciple, you can beat them hard.”

"Okay, according to what the senior brother wants."

"By the way, there is one more thing. Regarding your transfer to the headquarters, I told the uncle in charge of personnel affairs of the legion a few days ago. You just need to settle the first column. The headquarters is directly under the Seventh Wing. How? I am going to transfer you to work there."

"Everything follows your arrangement."

The three chatted for a while before Tangning and Liu Ruhan left.

.........

Yuhuan Mountain, Sima Clan's branch in Donglai County, in the room, Sima Nan and Sima Xian sat facing each other.

"This time the matter was able to be resolved so smoothly and satisfactorily. Thanks to the Young Patriarch's presence. When I went to see Su Yuanhua earlier, I also said all the good things. He is not as polite as today. It can be seen that many of the affairs of the residence in Donglai County have to be relied upon." The Young Patriarch is the only one, I will toast the Young Patriarch for Guan'er, thank you the Young Patriarch for saving him from the fire and water." Sima Nan raised his glass and said.

The two drank it all down, and Sima Xian said indifferently: "Ninth brother's words are too outrageous, why don't you thank me, this is not your personal grudge, Liu Ruhan and Su Yuanhua designed to trap you, nothing more than to get back face, for Tangning let out a sigh of relief. Speaking of which, you and your son were bothered by the affairs of the mansion, I should come to the door to apologize."

"At the father's [-]-year-old birthday party, Tangning injured Ah Rong in public on his father's big day, and his father didn't know his relationship with Nangong Muxue, so he only regarded him as an ordinary Taixuanzong disciple, so he said Hold him accountable."

"After the birthday banquet, I found out that he is the husband-in-law of disciple Nangong Muxue, but the words have already been released. You know that your father is a good-looking man, so why would you just withdraw yourself in front of many distinguished guests because of his relationship with Nangong Muxue? What I said, so I still sent someone to negotiate with Taixuanzong."

"In the end, although Tangning was only dealt with symbolically, we had anticipated the retaliation against the forces behind him."

"Fortunately, they were relatively restrained and did not make too many moves. This is already better than we expected."

"Donglai County has many powerful people, not comparable to Yuanxian County. Any force based here may be an existence that the government can't afford to provoke. Even an insignificant person may have the support of a big person behind him."

"Although the power of this government has expanded rapidly in recent years, its foundation is still too shallow. Compared with a behemoth like Taixuanzong, it is really small."

"Back then, my father decided to send you to Donglai County to preside over some affairs. It was after careful consideration. What he valued was Brother Jiu, who was cautious and calm."

"It's not your fault this time, Brother Nine, you don't need to worry too much about it. The affairs of Donglai County are not easy to do. Everyone in the mansion knows that it is already very good to be able to maintain this situation."

Sima Nan said: "Young Patriarch understands our difficulties. I am very grateful. To be honest, I often feel like I am walking on thin ice here, and I often warn my subordinates to keep their tails between their legs and not cause trouble. When this incident happened, the young master who was implicated would go with me to make an apology and lose face."

Sima Xian didn't take it seriously: "Since ancient times, the world has been dominated by the weak and the strong, and if the power is not as good as others, it is necessary to have the awareness of the weak. Besides, I am not a big man, so I apologize, I apologize. It's not something too embarrassing, let alone for the benefit of the government, brother Jiu doesn't have to blame himself."
