Chapter 20 Curio's Greetings (Part 2)

As such, Young Caesar's mind became even more chaotic. He almost never fell asleep all night. He looked sideways at the moonlight spreading in the room and was dazed. In this hard thinking, his body's diaphragm began to hurt again. This was his old problem. Yes, Young Caesar was not a child who was born healthy since childhood. He always had a pale face and a gloomy temper. He knew very early on that he was not as popular as Leo, but he also had another clear account in his heart: the opposite sex who like Leo only had the advantage of quantity, but his unique charm could attract the admiration of a stunning girl like Corinna. £∝

After thinking of Corinna, he suddenly thought of Cicero's beautiful wife Feiberia, and suddenly fell into confusion in the sweetness. He wanted to marry Corinna, which is naturally inevitable. The current situation is the best choice. Everyone knows that Li Bida loves this daughter like a pearl in her hand. Needless to say, the dowry is rich, and there is enough political capital soaring into the sky. However, Feiberia was in the court in the past, and her verbal battles were unique, "No, no, no! Is it that I am thinking about these things now.

Is it time?" Octavian finally remembered Curio's previous predictions and plans. He really thought it was unreliable, but he also felt that his analysis of the current situation had some truth. After all, he had seen the wrists and ruthlessness of the guardian. Thinking of this, Caesar couldn't help swallowing, and then his throat began to hurt - it seemed that he was catching a cold again, and the burden on the diaphragm became heavier. This was what the doctor said when he was very young. This child's diaphragm was swollen than that of ordinary people, and he might suffer for this for life.

"I will suffer for life, but I will never give in. Even if I submit temporarily, it doesn't matter. Hasn't the guardian also been a military slave? Isn't Leo's background so humble?" Young Caesar thought so, and seemed to feel relieved in his heart, "No matter what, I must attend the banquet. The truth will only slowly emerge from the water when I really face it."

According to traditional regulations, Roman banquets usually officially began at the first moment in the afternoon, so on the morning of the next day, Caesar, who woke up from a terror, was suffering from lack of sleep, so he got up from the bed and greeted his parents. Phillips was very considerately reminded, "If you are troubled by the words of the guests last night, then I can send a slave to refuse the invitation to the banquet."

"But, who is the only one who refuses the invitation from the family of the father-in-law in law? In this case, it is probably equivalent to rejecting the engagement. The responsibility lies with our family." Young Caesar sat down at the dining table, bit a few bites of lettuce. Then Guru Guru drank a glass of water, and expressed his relaxed attitude that he would definitely attend the banquet. Now his mother Atiya seemed to be relieved, repeatedly expressing the kindness and friendship of the family of the in-laws repeatedly.

, and praised Corinna's tranquility and virtuousness, "bring more high-end gold and silver jewelry to send it as gifts." Several female slaves responded, holding plates in their hands, with necklaces and bracelets on them. Young Caesar looked with a wry smile, and then replied to his mother that this was a chore, because although these jewelry were expensive, Corinna never seemed to wear jewelry that was less than 300 dinars when she went out at home on weekdays.

"Then this can be regarded as a small flaw in her character. Roman girls should not love beauty too much. In this regard, she seems to be inferior to her brother Leo." Atiya also said a little embarrassedly.

Phillips laughed, and then he said to his wife very seriously, "It was said that when Leo went to visit Barcelona, ​​Vivia did not even mention the gift, so she promised Leo - but Turinus! You are the heir of Caesar. Although Corinna should have promised herself to you in her heart, she would always be humiliating Julius's lintel. Now, if I ask you, auction the property of the free people left to you by your adoptive father during his lifetime, gather ten tarants, and buy jewelry from Syria or India, would you like?"

"That's not good, my father, one thing goes one by one. I will not let private things be used to my adoptive father's property, because it exists for my political career." Young Caesar refused without hesitation.

"This answer is completely within my expectations. I will sell the property to help you." After saying that, Phillips took out the contract from the storage box and said to his son, "Sell this private garden by the Tiber River immediately. Well, yes, I will do this at one moment. Before the official who collected the auction tax arrived at my house, I will give all the money to Turinus and ask him to go to the shop on Jukola Street to buy enough jewelry."

When Little Phillips walked out with the contract, the young Caesar, who came to his senses, was extremely moved to express his gratitude to his stepfather for helping him at critical moments again and again.

After breakfast, Caesar, who had carefully dressed himself in the room, stepped out of the steps with confidence and came to the back garden. Only then did he realize that his sister was looking at him with a complicated look behind the vine.

It was then that Young Caesar recalled Octavia. When he came back, when he was having a banquet, when he was plotting, he never saw his sister. Although she was married to Little Phillips at this time and still lived in the house on Niushou Street, who would have thought that she would live in seclusion here?

After not seeing each other for a while, my sister was obviously a little haggard, which made Young Caesar feel a little guilty. After all, since she was a child, her sister was the one who cared about him the most. He remembered the unreasonable reprimand for Octavia before he went to war.

"I will return the money I just now to my stepfather. After all, I am willing to give all the property in the family to your husband immediately. That would be a little compensation for you!" said Caesar, and then made an invitation gesture, asking his sister not to be so far away from him. So the two of them sat on a stone chair in the back garden. "Time flies so fast. You just left home and went to conquer Greece. It seems that it was yesterday. Today, we have already returned to the winter camp to run for the consul." After a period of silence, Octavia broke the embarrassment and said hurriedly.

"Yes, when I think about the days before, I feel very far away. I, Agripa and Leo, seem to be still at the Apollonia Academy."
