Chapter 20 Anthony's Wedding (Part 2)

When the children bought apples and entered the arena, Leo was still discussing what had just happened with Turinus, "Hey, Leo, do you know? If Cicero is willing to teach me eloquence, I will I will definitely become famous. When the time comes, I will defend people, defend many people, and win the support of the entire province. In this way, although I am a knight, sooner or later I will become the greatest in the legal world like him. Character. =Ding=Point=Novel==”

"Aren't you going to accept your uncle's career in the future?" Viviya from behind asked curiously, but Corinna next to her remained silent, staring at Turinus' back with her black eyes.

Who would have thought that when Turinus was mentioned as inheriting his uncle's property, he didn't express any attitude, neither affirmation nor denial. Instead, Leo helped his friend smooth things over, "I made an appointment with Turinus. After completing their respective studies, we have to work hard together in Rome, and we cannot live solely on the gifts of our parents. "

After hearing what her brother said, Corinna relaxed her eyebrows slightly and her expression became relaxed. Then Viviya chased after Leo and asked, "You both want to study under Cicero." Seven skills? My father often said that this is the foundation of a man's life. "Then why don't you stay in Rome and hire a tutor? The cost is very negotiable." Lina's voice was very slight. Almost too thin to be heard by those around him, because the arena was filled with people talking loudly.

Who would have thought that Turinus heard her remarks right away, and said cheerfully no, then he, Leo and little Juba shook fists at each other and said, "No, the only thing I am willing to inherit from my uncle is that he didn't do it when he was young." The spirit of fearing fate is the only way to gain the favor of God. Going to the city on the other side of the ocean to see the world is exactly what I want.”

"Then I'll follow you too." Leo also summoned his courage and said.

"Okay, don't let me take care of you again then." Turinus said this, but he still looked very happy. Then they asked little Juba for his opinion, and the other party nodded. "What kind of grown men are they? None of them can be like their father." Corinna teased unhappily.

Next, in the arena. Corinne throws the most rotten apples. Soon the valet of the Turinus family ran into the arena. After looking around, I found a few young ladies on the seats with parasols on their backs, and hurriedly said, "Good news, there will be a unique wedding on the Paladin Mountain soon. The time for you to socialize has come, and this is your guardian , and the arrangements made by Leo’s father. He hastily ordered you to go back as soon as possible to attend the wedding of Marco Antony and Fulivia. You must know that both of these couples are very popular people now. "

The children screamed, scattered like birds, and rushed out of the arena talking and laughing. At this moment, at the Ostia River Port, many people who came to receive relief food shouted in surprise. A huge color ship from Cyrenaica sailed into the dredged river, and then countless slaves moved down all kinds of luxury goods from it, including gold, porphyry gems, incense, Fine wine, various precious utensils, and various furniture made of high-end wood. Then, high-class slaves in silk shirts rushed through the streets with smiles on their faces, bringing many relatively cheap painted pottery utensils, exquisite bread and snacks. Pieces of silk were distributed to the people who came to watch, and they shouted, "Thank you for supporting Antony's wedding. This is a show before Caesar's grand triumph. A total of 240 pairs of sword-fighting slaves will be staged in various neighborhoods. Funded by Antony’s friend Lepidus!”…

The gifts at the distribution office had the words "Marco Antony and Fulivia be blessed" written in the corners. All Romans understood that this was definitely an extremely grand wedding.

Antony was so famous that he got special permission from Caesar and rode in a chariot pulled by four lions as he wished. The crowd tossed small silver coins and watched them plundering for fun, "Prosperity creates greatness, and marriage creates prosperity!" Antony also shouted happily to everyone, "Thank Caesar, thank Lepidus, they gave Rome eternity. of prosperity.”

Looking at the majestic wedding procession at the foot of the Palatine Hill, Cicero, standing under the beautiful poplar trees in the opposite mansion, lamented, "When the Romans no longer loved the tall poplars, they pursued short and fancy flowers. After that, the empire was about to become terminally ill." Immediately, he saw Lepidus, wearing a white toga, specially standing in front of the arch made of flowers and gold and silver with other Caesar's cronies and tribesmen to warmly welcome the bridegroom's arrival. , Anthony came to the arch, shouted happily, jumped down and hugged everyone, and finally hugged Lepidus tightly, "You are the best friend in my life!"

"Because I am also Claudius's best friend. Seeing that Fulivia can marry you, I believe that he can also find peace of mind in Hades." Lepidus said very sincerely, and then Claudius stood behind him. Ya cried involuntarily.

Then, Lepidus suddenly clapped his hands, and saw several slaves wearing double-eared hats, quickly holding the lit pine branches, ran to a row of barrel-like things in front of the gate of the house, and then lifted the flax sticks sticking out of them. The rope was burned and immediately ran away.

A few sharp noises scared all the guests, both men and women, and they instinctively covered their ears. They were surprised to see the brilliant fireworks spraying out from the wooden barrel, whistling and changing in the air. Their expressions quickly changed from fear to surprise, and then to admiration.

"Are you happy? This little magic from Seres was created by the Cyrene alchemist. It can add some unique excitement to your wedding." Lepidus opened his arms in front of the fireworks and said with a smile to all the guests including Anthony. Then everyone widened their eyes, puffed up their cheeks and cheered, and the whole scene reached its climax.

The smiling Lepidus certainly knew that at this time in the armory in the new city of Brundim in Cyrene, more "alchemists" were mixing and improving the formula day and night to create a more sharp and powerful new secret weapon, because this was a secret order of the Ambrosian Society, and anyone who leaked it privately would be executed immediately.

"In the future, this world will have a more unique and exciting time."
