Chapter 21 The Stone Falls (Part 2)

"Helcius, tell me what you think? Because many of the people here have given up their ideas about the next CEO next year. His Excellency Pansa has reached a full agreement with me. He will go to Syria immediately to serve as the governor of the five-year period. This is what I have discussed with him.↖Biso and Cicero are now the inspector in purple robe. If they still have to be the second CEO now and are under my leadership, not to mention that the two of their qualities do not allow them, even I personally will not feel at ease. For the rest of the people, I have arranged a suitable position for them in the Executive Yuan system. They are generous and honorable." At this time, Li Bida's eyes turned to Heilcius, who was gnawing on the big lobster, and slowly showed up.

The young Caesar's face around him turned into an extremely nervous look. What should we do if the "other people" in the guardian's mouth, including him? Everyone knows that the newly established Executive Yuan is the "private house" of Li Bida's family. If he enters this system, it is equivalent to telling the whole world that he is eating the food rewarded by the guardian. This is absolutely not allowed. Even if the annual salary is very generous, it will be exchanged for the price of the future, and it is definitely not worth it.

"Turinus, yours." Corinna, who used a silver clip to pick up a piece of barbecue for him, made Young Caesar feel relieved and said thanks in a hurry. While she was almost unable to breathe. Seeing the situation changing, he felt that the diaphragm was squeezing his internal organs, making him feel even more cramped and painful.

"Since I can sit at this banquet today, I believe the high priest has carefully and sincerely cared about my future. I, Helsious, is a mere native of Sicily. According to the Roman traditions a hundred years ago, people like us, who were entangled with Hannibal back then, can only be the pinnacle of the official rank to be the financial officer. Now I have even entered the legal system, all of which are given by the high priest, hahaha."

"Get refreshed, Haiercius, you don't have to say these politeness, just say whether you are willing or not, or hope not to be the consul." Li Bida put down the wine cup and asked directly without hesitation.

"Yes, I hope." Helscius took a deep breath and replied, then peeling the oyster shell and lobster shell with his hands to make a sound.

Under the moonlight passing through the narrow window, Li Bida's hair seemed to be coated with a layer of snow, and his expression was like a layer of frost. Now not only was Young Caesar, but even his daughter Corinna forgot to greet the guests, stared at her father, and captured his little breathing.

"It's great that you have such a wish. Helcius, but it won't work now." After a while, Li Bida spitted out the answer clearly. The lobster shell in Helcius's body broke into several pieces with a "bang", and then there was a brief awkward atmosphere. Then the legal officer from Sicily nodded with a smile, put the lobster down, and comforted himself, "Yes, if my dirt accent, if I were to be at the inauguration ceremony, I would definitely be ridiculed and ridiculed by the nobles and people who listened to the speech."

"It is good to have such an awareness, so you should practice Greek and Latin elegant written languages ​​in your spare time, because you will soon succeed Young Caesar as the governor of Illyria, and continue to work hard for me and the Republic. Your practical ability is completely sufficient." The high priest said, not to be comforting or mocking.

"Pu" the small clip in Corinna's hand couldn't help but fall into the pool. Before her father could accuse her, she threw herself in front of her father's knees like a bird, "Then, what my father meant is that Tulinus would return to Rome?" But the half sentence she said never.

Li Bida touched Corinna's hair, then smiled helplessly, looked around the crowd apologetically, and said only one sentence, "Turinus has been the acting officer since the uprising. If he had not yet been the CEO last time, I am afraid that the soul of His Excellency Julius Caesar would condemn me in his dream."

After hearing this, Octavian's heart was ecstatic, which made his diaphragm feel unbearable!

The banquet did not last long, and soon dispersed after confirming the content. Corinna jumped on her eyebrows and shook on her skirt. When she held the plate and entered the kitchen room with the female slaves behind her, she happily told her mother Porti the good news that "father allowed Turinus to run for the second-CEO" to her mother Porti.

Portie's eyes were wide open, and his fingers were still stroking the edge of the stove. He didn't react for a while. Corinna thought that her mother was so happy that she didn't react for a while, so she stared at her eyes and repeated the news to Portie, "Mama, you should be happy for me too."

"Yes...yes...of course this should be." Portie smiled reluctantly, then stroked the back of her daughter's neck, looking at Corinna, who was shining with light all over her body, and didn't know what to say. At this time, in the bush garden in front of the kitchen, Young Caesar pressed the branches with his hands, and kept looking at Corinna from a distance. Portie held his daughter's arm and said to her, "Go quickly, say anything to Turinus. Your father is coming soon, don't let Turinus have any wrong actions against you."

Corinna, who had obtained the mama permission, hurriedly stuck out her tongue a few times, carried the skirt and ran out, then walked and talked with Tulinus, with a happy smile on her face.

"Where is Corinna?" This sentence scared Porty, who was leaning on the pillar and watching with fear, was so scared that he was half-hearted that Li Bida stood in front of the door of the room from some time, with a quick and cold tone.

Then he saw that Portie was a little restless and didn't know how to answer him, so he walked to the colonnade and saw Corinna and Octavia were together. He laughed and said to Portie, "What are you afraid of? Just call the two children over."

"You have to take out the token." The high priest sitting on the couch said to the two children who were called, with a kind tone that was like Young Caesar's father-in-law. Young Caesar immediately took an exquisite box from his accompanying slave and handed it to Corinna. "Well, actually, I just want to ask you about your sincerity and sincerity to Corinna. Of course, I will consider the dowry issue with great consideration." After Li Bida finished speaking, he grabbed Porty's hand next to him with a smile, "When you successfully take the position of the second-level consul, of course I can only support you with all my strength. Leo is a high-ranking city magistrate, and you will have to work together at that time."
