Chapter 1 Refusal of Marriage (Part 2)

In fact, Brutu and Portia were both fanatical about justice and morality. They had been discussing this matter with Caesar on various occasions since they came back from the small banquet of Apiron. Caesar was already very tired after speaking endlessly in the Temple of Concorde, but Caesar’s people were also very tenacious. These people abandoned the Senate as the battlefield and began to incite the people in the squares and streets to fight him to the end, and even more fearful news came - Claudi, a civilian guardian with the Temple of Virtue as the headquarters, was also not very interested in Cicero, who had blocked his term extension, and began to point the finger at himself and pass several new legislation to defy him. It seems that Caesar abandoned his wife's chastity last year and wanted to win over this villain fighter on the street.

So, with the endless chatter of his daughter and son-in-law, Xiao Katu could only sit in the atrium with distress without saying a word, thinking about his interests: Yes, he does hate Pompei, any ambitious and vanity who puts personal honors over the Republic, but now he is struggling to fight Caesar, the newly rising guy. Maybe I have reached the stage of needing a temporary ally? The family's glory doubled my strength, but I am still too young, less than forty years old. Now, thinking about Pompei can really use it for himself - he is at the low point of his life, and has always been inconsistent with Caesar and Claudi, and now he has something to ask for me. He is just a guy raised in the Senate.

"Yes, Pompey is indeed vain, but I think once he becomes your son-in-law, he and his veterans will be tied to your virtue carriage, which can play a kind-oriented role in the Roman state. In addition, I think Portia's two sisters are also yearning for this marriage. If you don't believe it, you can listen to the sobs in the boudoir." Brutu stood, and said excitedly. When Gatu asked him just now, wasn't he the closest person to Caesar? Is his mother not Caesar the most

Loving mistress? People in Rome regard you as Caesar's son, and you don't know that once I agree to Pompey's marriage request, this will be the greatest disadvantage to Caesar. Brutu's answer to this is, I love Caesartan, I love the Republic more. I just believe that under the leadership of your uncle, the Republic will always enjoy the simplicity and peace of the ancient style; and under the leadership of Caesar, it will increasingly move towards the abyss of radicalism and overturning danger. All of this is because my surname is "Brutus", the founder of the Republic.

At this moment, Xiao Jiatu's wife and daughter sobbed again in the inner room. They cried day and night, as if they were threatening their father to promise one of them as soon as possible to marry the most glorious war hero in Rome and become the leader of the noble social circle Fang's willingness to be willing. This made Xiao Jiatu more angry and conflicted. After hearing Brutu's words, he pointed to the inner room and shouted: "Women are all vain creatures, and they can only ruin everything. My great-grandfather was

The square gave a speech, and the noble ladies who opposed Rome wearing gold ornaments of more than the prescribed weight were insulted and confronted by them in groups - and today, I forgot my wife and daughter, who are also one of the people." After complaining, Gatu patted his thighs and gasped and said to Brutu: "I can meet General Gneus Pompei for this matter. If you are so anxious to make this matter happen, you must have contacted Pompei?"

"Yes, I have a friend who has a deep friendship with General Pompei's most trusted personal slave. He has discussed with the other party and is willing to receive you in a newly completed luxury residence at the foot of the Paladin Mountains, and let you personally discuss this matter with General Pompei. This is an invitation." After that, Brutu smiled, as if he was ready, and handed the invitation to his uncle.

"I know that villa was given to that slave by Pompey. I have always hated this kind of behavior. If Rome was like this, what kind of master and slave would he have to divide it?" Although Xiao Gatu said this, he still accepted the invitation and immediately made an appointment with Brutu to visit.

Xiao Jiatu has never liked to worry about anything more. This is his nature. Since Pompey is now marrying my daughter and eager to become an ally with me, he will definitely wait for me in that villa. Besides, my nephew's words should not be wrong.

The kind Brutu didn't know that he had already read Li Bida's words, because just before he went to the villa at the foot of Paladin Mountain with his uncle on the agreed day, Li Bida, who received the news, bribed Pompei's slave who supervised the villa for 20,000 Ses. The slave suddenly pretended to be in urgent need of something, and ran to the villa to give orders - saying that the owner Demeteris was about to arrive, and this was his first time to come to this house. He was also General Pompei's most trusted friend, and everyone must do a good job of greeting!

In fact, Demetlius is still in the Brindisi area now, dealing with the veterans' demands on land resettlement. Where can I get the time to move into this villa?

But everyone in the villa was deceived by the slaves of Pompei who spread the false news. The cook, servant, musician, gardener, and minister all hurriedly ran, hung garlands in the corridors and doors, carefully trimmed flower potted plants, prepared sweet food and wine, and arranged seats and musical instruments for playing in the veil. He was excited to wait for the visit of the owner of the house Demethlius.

Finally, the people who walked along the street towards the villa were Xiao Jiatu, Brutu and their friends. Of course, Li Bida was not included. He had already escaped because Xiao Jiatu recognized him and he was unwilling to show his appearance.

Xiao Jiatu's habit is that once he is with his friends, he walks in an elegant robe in front, allowing his friends to ride mules, horses or donkeys behind him. Everyone goes on and discusses some philosophical topics, which is very comfortable and relaxed. This time, a group of people talk and laugh leisurely and come to the door of the luxurious villa under the name of Demethlius. When friends praised how magnificent the building was, Xiao Jiatu smiled disapprovingly, but he still tucked his robe out of politeness and walked towards the door.
