Chapter 5 Secret Agreement (Part 2)

Ask me to be the future father-in-law and guardian of Octavian? This joke seemed a little too big, but Lepidus said to Paidis calmly, "Let me discuss this matter with my wife and family."

"I really didn't know that after living in Rome for so many years, you would actually consult a woman's opinion on important matters. Well, that's fine, but you must know that my uncle prefers my nephew, and he has no male partner so far. The surname is the heir, so Turinus may inherit Julius's family business in the future." Pedis began to induce. When he saw Lepidus turning away, he raised his hands and continued shouting, "Yes, yes. Yes, it is true that Turinus's grandfather worked as an exchanger of Celtic gold coins and dinars, and Atia's grandfather opened a bakery, but now the Octavian family is a respectable family, and they are also knights, and you The lintels are pretty good now, so you have to think about it carefully. We feel relieved that Turinus and Atia have guardians like you."

In the courtyard, Bodie and her maid were busy in the kitchen area. Little Pigeon was instructing the craftsmen to inlay shells on the wall. In the small living room at the corner, Yulia was squatting in front of the loom and carefully picking out the floral thread. Leo and Corinna stood next to her and watched.

"Listen, it's about Corinna's marriage, you have to call Bodie." Julia said without hesitation in her monotonous weaving voice, "Besides, you said that Caesar would accept this as a condition. Prevent you from traveling to Egypt?"

After seeing the helpless expression on Lepidah's face, Yulia put down the work at hand, then took the tablet from her husband's hand, took off his gold ring, stuck it on with ink pad, and said "Guardian Ah" Tia and Turinus" stamped the seal of the Emily family, and then said to the somewhat surprised husband, "Show some courage and determination, this is not like you in Sardinia. "

"But, I can't go to Egypt like this!" Lepida regretfully tried to grab the tablet.

"I will go see the governor in person tomorrow to see how stubborn his ostrich egg-like head is. Does he need a legion commander or an Egyptian backing?" Yulia was not to be outdone and put the writing board into her patterned cloak. As soon as they were blinded, the two people began to attack and block each other. Little Leo and Corinna thought they were playing a game, and they both clapped their hands and laughed.

"Actually...if you want to have both, maybe I have a way." It was hard to believe that these words came out of Bodie's mouth. She wiped her putty-stained hands and gently Leaning against the curtain hanging on the doorpost, and then seeing the even more surprised looks in the eyes of the man and Yulia, he smiled sheepishly and said, "Of course I didn't plan this method, and I can't confirm that it's true - —Someone asked me to tell you in advance.”

"who?"

"Longinus Casio." Speaking of this name, Lepidus felt that things had become complicated.

"What is his identity?" Yulia continued to ask on behalf of her husband.

"Of course he is good friends with Portia and Brutus, and he also asked me to pass on another sentence to you - he said that there are not only three-headed monsters in the world of power in Rome, and there are not only three-headed monsters among the three-headed monsters. We are completely united. If you realize this at any time, you can treat me to a banquet in Russell Village. I would like to pay a visit to you and your wife. "

Cassio specially asked Poti to say this, and what he said was inscrutable. Obviously he knew very well what Lepidus was thinking and what his goals were during this period, even though he had always been in Apollonia before - by the way, Apollo Nea, could it be said that Cassius had a deep friendship with Cicero there, and even Brutus and Cato the Younger on Rhodes? Then why didn't Cicero's brother take on the role of messenger? How could Caesar safely recruit him to come to his tent?

No matter what comes, Lepidus told his wife and Poti that he would take his servants to the surrounding markets to purchase ingredients and entertain Longinus Casillo in the name of his colleagues.

After the arrangements were made, it was already nightfall. After dinner, the atmosphere in the entire restaurant suddenly became awkward, especially when the female slaves began to move mats and blankets to the back bedroom. Leah was silent while holding the tableware.

According to formal ethics, although there was no public wedding, Yulia was the main wife.

But according to customary rules, Bodie and Lepidus lived together for so many years and even gave birth to a pair of children for him.

In the original era, Lepidus could handle this kind of thing very well. It was really impossible for two beauties to sleep together and lie on the floor outside the room. Anyway, it was an era when small families were supreme. But that's not the case here. The husband and wife can only be said to be the core of the Roman family. There is also a kind of family member called a slave on the periphery, so if the three of them behave in any weird way, it will be spread throughout the family the next day. It was absolutely stormy in the city.

"Well, Bodie, go and get the olive oil potion mixed with snail dung from the dining table. Today you will serve me and the master of the house to bed. You don't need anyone else." Julia said with a strong composure. The bread just now almost got stuck in the throat. There were many methods of contraception in the Roman era. The one Julia just mentioned was more commonly used by the Latins, while the Egyptians and Asians liked to use crocodile eggs. After putting the shell in, the barbarians were simpler and cruder. Some used rat droppings to make soup, and some simply asked the woman to squat down naked after the treatment, and let the emperor's juice flow out by sneezing.

So Yulia said this to make it clear that she wanted to spend the night with her husband. The young widow thought she could hide it, but she really couldn't think of how to end it!

And Boti winked at Libida, and immediately followed the young widow's words, quickly raised the small jar from the dining table, and blocked Yulia's retreat. She could only lower her head, sandwiched between the man and woman, and slowly walked into the bedroom.

At this time, Yulia knew that she had no way out, but the hesitation in her heart before was not a resistance to the new marriage with Libida, but more of a guilt for the past. However, on the way to Milan, she felt that Corinna and Little Leo were her own children, so as a wife, it was natural for her to accept her husband's entry.

But when she changed into loose silk pajamas and curled up on the bed, she saw that Bodi beside her had taken off all her clothes, revealing her wheat-colored skin and her extremely charming figure. Then she leaned over and took out two of the three holes of the oil core in the winged gilded low lamp. The whole room suddenly became dim... (To be continued.)
