Chapter 5 Secret Covenant (Part 2)
Call me to be the father-in-law and guardian of the future Octavian? This joke seems a bit big, but Li Bida said to Pei Dies calmly, "I will discuss this with my wife and family."
"I really don't know that you have lived in Rome for so many years and you will consult women on big things. Well, okay, but you must know that my uncle prefers my nephew, and he has no male heirs so far, so Turinus may inherit Julius's family business in the future." Peidis began to induce him. When he saw Li Bida turn and leave, he raised his hand and continued to shout, "Yes, yes, Turinus's grandfather had worked as a exchanger for Celtic gold coins and dinars, and Atya's grandfather had run a bakery, but now the Octavian family is a decent family, and he is also a knight, which is comparable to your current lintel. You have to think about it carefully. We feel relieved that Turinus and Atya have guardians like you."
In the courtyard, Porty was busy with the maid in the kitchen area. The little pigeon was directing the craftsmen to inlay shells on the wall. In the small living room at the corner, Yulia squatted in front of the loom carefully carrying the flower threads. Little Leo and Corinna stood beside her and watched.
"Listen, it's about Corinna's marriage, you have to call Porty." Yulia said without hesitation in her monotonous weaving voice, "In addition, do you say that Caesar will stop you from going to Egypt on this condition?"
After seeing the helpless expression on Li Bida's face, Yulia put down the work at hand, then took the piece of the character board in her husband, took off his golden ring, glued it on the ink, and stamped the seal of the Emili family on the character board "Guardian Athya and Turinus". Then she said to her somewhat surprised husband, "Take some courage and decision, this is not like you in Sardinia back then."
"But, I can't go to Egypt in this way!" Li Bida regretted that he wanted to grab the board.
"I will go to see the governor in person tomorrow to see how stubborn his ostrich-egg-like head is. Do he need a legion commander or an Egyptian backing." Yulia was not willing to be outdone, so she put the zipboard into the patterned cloak, and the two began to attack and block each other. Leo and Corinna thought that these two were playing games, so they clapped their hands and laughed.
"Actually... if I hope to have both, maybe I have a way." It's hard to believe that this was said from Porty. She wiped her putty-stained hands and leaned gently against the curtain hanging on the doorpost. Then she saw the man and Yulia's eyes even more surprised, and she smiled embarrassedly, "Of course this method was not planned by me, and I can't confirm that it is true - someone asked me to tell you in advance."
"who?"
The name "Langhinus Casio." said, making Li Bida feel complicated.
"What is he?" Yulia continued to ask questions on behalf of her husband.
"Of course he is a friend with Portia and Brutu, and he asked me to send you another sentence - he said that there are not only three monsters in the world of power in Rome, and the three monsters are not completely united. If you realize this, you can invite me to the village of Russels. I really want to visit you and your wife."
Kasio specifically asked Porti to send this. It was unfathomable. Obviously, he was very clear about what Li Bida thought and what his goal was during this period. Even though he had always been in Apollonia before - by the way, Apollonia, did Casio have a deep friendship with Cicero there, and even Brutu and Catu on Rhode Island? Then why wasn't Cicero's younger brother the role of this message? How could Caesar feel at ease to recruit him to his own account?
Those who come are not kind will not come. No matter what, Li Bida told his wife and Porty that he would take his servants to the surrounding markets to purchase ingredients tomorrow and invite the Longines Casio in the name of his colleagues.
After the arrangement was made, it was already night. After dinner, the atmosphere in the entire restaurant suddenly became awkward. Especially when the female slaves started to carry mats and blankets to the dormitory behind, Li Bida, Porti and Yulia were all silent with the tableware.
According to formal ethics, although there is a lack of public weddings, Yulia is the wife of her family.
But according to the customary rules, Porty and Li Bida have lived with him for so many years and have given birth to a pair of children.
If Li Bida had a good deal of such things in the original era, it would not be possible for two beauties to sleep together and lie on the floor outside the room. Anyway, it was an era when the privacy of a small family was supreme. But it was not possible here. The couple could only be said to be the core of the Roman family. There was also a family member called slaves on the periphery. So if the three of them had any strange and strange behavior, the whole family would be spread all over the next day, and the third day would definitely be full of storms.
"Well, Porti, go and take the olive oil potion mixed with snail dung on the other side of the dining table. Today you serve me and the male host to sleep, and no one else is needed." Yulia said calmly. Porti's bread just now almost stuck in her throat and was not suffocated. There were many ways to contraceptive in the Roman era. What Yulia mentioned just now was more commonly used by Latin people, while Egyptians and little Asians like to put it in the shells of crocodile eggs. The barbarians are simpler and more crude. Some use rat shit to make soup, while others directly ask the woman to squat down naked after the matter is finished, and let the emperor liquid flow out by sneezing.
So Yulia said this, which made it clear that she would spend a good night with her husband tonight. The little widow thought that this would cover up her eyes, but she really couldn't think of how to end!
Portie turned his eyes to Li Bida, and immediately followed the little widow's words and quickly raised the small jar from the dining table, blocking Yulia's retreat. She could only lower her head, clamp it between the men and women, and slowly walked into the bedroom.
At this time, Yulia understood that she had no way out, but the confusion she had in her heart before was not a resistance to a new marriage with Li Bida, but was more guilty about the past. However, during this journey to Milan, she felt that the children of Corinna and Leo were their own, so as a wife, it should naturally be natural to accept the entry of her husband.
