"Oh...there is another career, respected status, that is, becoming a scholar, but this is too difficult, I guess you will not consider it. The three paths I mentioned above, you can discuss with your child and choose carefully.

As for your youngest son, he is only 10 years old. After you move to Turiyi, let him attend Turiyi School as soon as possible, so that when he becomes an adult in the future, his development will be smoother than that of his elder brother. And your daughter, let her go to school as soon as possible. "

When Tibulus said this, he saw Publius frowning slightly, and said: "I know that you Romans and Greeks are more traditional and conservative in your daughter’s education, but I tell you, we Dio Different from Nia, we will let girls and boys study and exercise together, and try our best to cultivate her talents, so that when she becomes an adult, we can find a good husband, because we Dionia believe that only healthy mothers can give birth to health. Children, only talented mothers can give birth to smart children!

In the kingdom, women not only have the right to inherit property, but there is also a law that states, “If a citizen has only a daughter but no sons, he can negotiate with his son-in-law and choose one of the children born to his daughter to inherit him. Last name. Therefore, the status of women in the kingdom is still relatively high. "

When Tiberius said this, he couldn't help but smile: "I now have two daughters and no sons, but with these legal provisions, I am not worried at all."

Pubulius didn't know how to answer, so he remained silent for a while.

Tiblus stood up and said: "In this season, don't soak in a cold water bath for too long, otherwise you will catch a cold easily."

Speaking, he walked out of the bath, took the cloth towel hung on the wall, and threw a piece to Publius.

Tiblus wiped his body with a cloth towel, stretched his hands and feet, and said loudly: "Soak in a bath, and you will be able to sleep well tonight. Tomorrow, I will go to the Kingdom Convention with sufficient energy!"

"Yeah, Turriy’s baths are so great, I can’t help but want to move to Turriy earlier!" Publius once again praised, he looked a little excited. Part of it was because of the bath, and part of it was because of Tiberius' words that gave him confidence in moving to Turey.

…………………………………………

In the early morning of the second day, after having breakfast, the guests of the Kingdom Hotel, after solemnly finishing their costumes, walked to the large assembly hall not far away. At the same time, many people gathered from other directions, and soon formed two long lines in front of the Grand Chamber.

On this day, the Turiyi inspection team blocked the entire Victory Square and the Senate, forbidding people to enter, and the inner city was also strictly forbidden to enter and exit, in order to ensure the smooth convening of the Kingdom Convention.

Pubulius, a newcomer to the Kingdom Senate, stood in the line without knowing anyone, watching other people around him greet each other enthusiastically and tell each other about the current situation.

But Tibulus who followed him is indeed a Tury. Although it is the first time to participate in the Kingdom Convention, he knows a lot of people, and he also took the initiative to introduce Publius to them.

These people were curious when they learned that Publius was the new patriarch of the kingdom and came from Rome, and they asked about the situation in Rome.

Pubulius also answered earnestly. Everyone gradually got acquainted. Only then did Publius realize that these people were the local councils of the towns of the Kingdom of Dionia who were elected to participate in the convention. Congressman.

Not long after, Publius and Tibulus stood in front of the main entrance of the Grand Chamber. After asking the name of Publius, the General Order Officer at the door looked at him with some doubts:" Master Publius, you are a veteran, you can enter through the side entrance, didn't the hotel staff tell you?"

Pubulius glanced at Tiberius and said, "I'm attending the Kingdom Convention for the first time. I think it will be more lively if you walk through the main entrance."

"Oh, it doesn't matter, please come with me!" The order officer said politely, and led them into the venue.

This is a huge circular vault. There are at least 10 layers of stone steps from top to bottom. On each floor, there are many wooden chairs neatly and densely arranged, forming a semicircle around the center. In the center is a flat floor with white marble and several dark red wooden tables. At the back of the center stands a stone platform several meters high on which is placed a large and exquisite chair.

Pubulius stared at it several times, guessing that it was the seat of King Dionia.

The front rows of these seats are full of nearly 300 people. They are wearing white robes embroidered with beautiful black patterns, most of them with gray hair, and they are talking quietly to each other.

These are the veterans of the Kingdom of Dionia! Publius thought to himself, as he was about to sit down with Tiberius behind them, the order officer walked to the front and whispered a few words to the person in the center.

Five people stood up quickly and walked towards them.

Pubulius knows one of them—Anta Auris, who once hosted them.

Tiberus immediately bowed respectfully and saluted one by one, and said, "Master Cornelus! Master Lucias! Master Sedorum! Master Anta Oris! Master Visba!"

As the chief executive of Turiyi, Luciassi, who was once the boss of Tiberius, nodded and said: "Tiberus, you have worked so hard, are you ready?"

"It's ready."

"Take a good rest first, and when it's your turn, behave!"

"Yes!"

The order officer led Tiberius to the far side of the first row of seats to sit down so that he could speak on stage at that time.

Tiberus had guessed that these five were the five rotating chairmen of the Dionian Senate, and he also noticed that they were different from the other senators in that the Bolton they wore was inlaid with gold rims.

A gray-haired old man among them smiled and said, "Welcome, Master Publius! I am Cornelus, the rotating chairman of the Dionian Senate, and this one is..."

Pubulius greeted each other one by one, both smiling, graceful and subtle. Don't look at Publius laughing with Tiberius on the way, as if he was an ordinary person, but at this moment he deliberately showed his once-in-laws as the senator of the Roman Senate and the head of the great clan.

Next, Cornelus led Publius to the center of the venue, and then said loudly to the veterans in the audience: Everyone, this one is Pubu from Rome who was newly promoted to the Senate last year. Elder Lius Manlius, please give him a warm applause and welcome him to be one of us! "

Suddenly, there were enthusiastic applause.

Then Cornelus motioned to Publius to say a few words.

Pubulius did not refuse. He took a step forward, stood with his head high, looked around the crowd slowly with a smile, and said in a loud voice: "I felt deeply on my way to Turei. Arrived in the vast territory of the Kingdom of Dionia; waited until Turri, and was attracted by the prosperity of this huge city, I know that all of this is closely related to the efforts of you, the elites of the kingdom, and I am very happy To be one of you, to contribute to the strength of Dionia!"

The applause broke out again in the venue, even more enthusiastic than before.

The five rotating chairpersons glanced at each other, and the meaning was self-evident: In these years, they have performed similar and simple welcoming ceremonies in the Senate for a number of senators who have just joined the kingdom. But there are very few people who can say such words neither humble nor arrogant. This veteran from Rome is not easy!

So, the five asked Publius to sit next to them. It is reasonable that this position is not suitable for newcomers, but today this seat was specially reserved for him, on the one hand to express Dionia The sincerity of the Senate towards the Romans, on the other hand, can also make it easy for them to get to know the current situation of the Latm area from Publius’s mouth, so as soon as Publius sat down, Cornelus and the others were with him. Talking enthusiastically.

At the same time, representatives of local councilors entered the venue one after another, and the whole venue became more lively.

I don’t know how long it took, an order officer came over and reminded in a low voice: "Five adults, all the participants are here."

Cornerus stopped talking with Publius, looked at the other four, and asked: "Everyone is here, shall we start?"

"Hurry up and start, and if you postpone it, today's meeting may not end until the evening." Anta Auris said eagerly.

Cornerus stood up, and the other 4 people also stood up, and then walked to the center of the venue together.

There was immediate applause in the venue, which echoed repeatedly in this enclosed circular space.

Pubulius turned his head and looked back, and saw that there were people sitting on all the wooden chairs. It seemed that even a few of the entrances and exits had been added with wooden chairs. Except for the center of the venue, everything was crowded.

There are at least thousands of people! ... Publius was surprised.

The five rotating chairpersons walked to the wooden table beside the center of the venue and sat down facing everyone.

At this time, the order officer of the Senate standing in the front and under the supervision of the Kingdom shouted in unison: "The Kingdom Convention is about to begin, please keep quiet!"

As soon as the voice fell, the hall immediately became quiet. The rapid response of everyone surprised Publius. Of course he did not know: At this time, whoever dared to continue making noise would be expelled from the venue by the order officials on the grounds of "deliberately disturbing the venue". It's a matter of making a fool of yourself in public, and it will be investigated by the Ministry of Supervision afterwards, and that would be a big loss.

At this moment, Cornelus stood up, stood in the middle of the venue, looked at the crowd, and said, "Everyone, I am glad that we are together again in the Senate. According to the regulations, it should be His Majesty King Daves. Come to give the opening speech, but unfortunately he is still leading the kingdom's army in Sicily to fight against the Carthaginians. He can't do it again, so he wrote a letter and entrusted me to read it to everyone."
