"Oh... there is another profession, respect for status, which means becoming a scholar, but this is too difficult, and you probably won't consider it. You can discuss the three paths I mentioned above with your child and choose carefully.

As for your youngest son, he is only 10 years old. After you move to Tuliyi, let him attend Tuliyi school as soon as possible. In this way, when he becomes an adult in the future, his development will be smoother than his elder brother. And your daughter, let her enroll quickly."

When Tibruce said this, seeing Publius frowning slightly, he said, "I know that you Romans, like the Greeks, have more traditional and conservative education on your daughter, but I tell you that we are different from Dionia. We will let girls learn and exercise with boys and try our best to cultivate her talents so that we can find a good husband when she becomes an adult, because we Dionians believe that only healthy mothers can give birth to healthy children, and only talented mothers can give birth to smart children!

In the kingdom, a woman not only has the right to inherit property, but also has a law that states that, ‘If a citizen has only a daughter but no son, he can discuss with his sons-in-law and choose one of the children born to his daughter to inherit his surname.’ Therefore, a woman has a relatively high status in the kingdom.”

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

Publius didn't know how to answer the conversation and remained silent for a while.

Tibruce stood up and said, "Don't soak in cold water for too long in this season, otherwise it will easily catch a cold."

As he said that, he walked out of the bath, took the cloth hanging from the wall, and threw it to Publius.

Tibruce wiped his body with a cloth towel, stretched his hands and feet, and said loudly: "Take a bath, and you will definitely have a good sleep tonight. I will attend the Kingdom Conference with sufficient spirit tomorrow!"

"Yes, Turiyi's bathhouse is so great, I can't help but want to move to Turiyi earlier!" Publius praised again, he seemed a little excited, half because of the bath, and half because of Tibruce's words that made him feel confident about moving to Turiyi.

…………………………………………

Early in the morning of the second day, after breakfast, the guests of the Wangguo Hotel solemnly put their clothes on and walked towards the Grand Secretariat Hall not far away. At the same time, many people gathered from other directions and soon formed two long rows in front of the Grand Secretariat Hall.

On this day, the Turiyi patrol team blocked the entire Victory Square and the Senate, prohibiting idle people from entering, and the inner city was strictly prohibited to enter and exit, in order to ensure the smooth convening of the Kingdom Conference.

As a newcomer to the Kingdom Senate, Publius stood in the team, not knowing anyone, and just watched the others around him greet each other enthusiastically and telling each other about their recent situation.

But Tibruce, who followed him, deserved to be Turie. Although it was his first time to attend the Kingdom Conference, he met many people and took the initiative to introduce Publius to them.

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

Publius also answered seriously, and everyone gradually became familiar with each other. Publius only learned that these people were all local council members elected to attend the conference in various towns in the Kingdom of Dionys.

Not long after, Publius and Tiblius stood in front of the main entrance of the Grand Council. After asking about Publius' name, the general order officer at the door looked at him with some confusion: "Master Publius, you are a veteran, you can enter through the side door. Didn't the hotel waiter tell you?"

Publius glanced at Tibruce and said, "This is my first time attending the Kingdom Conference. I think it will be more lively to walk through the main entrance."

"Oh, that doesn't matter. Please come with me!" The Order Officer said politely and led them into the venue.

This is a huge circular dome with at least 10 stone steps from top to bottom. Each floor has many wooden chairs arranged neatly and densely, surrounding the center in a semicircle. The center is a flat ground paved with white marble, with several dark red wooden tables placed. A stone platform several meters high stands behind the center, with a wide and exquisite seat placed on it.

Publius stared at him several times, guessing that it was King Diony's seat.

Nearly 300 people were sitting in the front rows of these seats. They were wearing white robes with exquisite black patterns, mostly gray-haired, and were talking to each other in a low voice.

These are the elders of the Kingdom of Dionia! Publius thought to himself, and was about to sit down behind Tibruce, but the Order Officer walked to the front and whispered a few words to the people in the center.

Five people stood up soon and walked towards them.

One of them Publius knew was Anta Oris, who had received them.

Tibruce immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Mr. Cornerus! Lord Lycius! Lord Sedorum! Lord Anta Oris! Lord Vesba!"

As Chief Executive of Turiyi, Luciassi, who was once the boss of Tibruce, nodded and said, "Tibruce, thank you for your hard work, are you ready?"

“It’s ready.”

"Stay good at rest first, and when it's your turn, perform well!"

"yes!"

The Order Officer led Tibruce to the side of the first row of seats to make it easier for him to go on stage to speak.

Tibruce had guessed that these five were the five rotating chairmen of the Dionia Senate. He also noticed that what they were different from other senators was that the Borden they wore was inlaid with gold edges.

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

Publius greeted each other one by one, and both sides smiled, and their movements were elegant and implicit. Although Publius smiled with Tiblius along the way, he seemed to be an ordinary person, at this moment he deliberately showed his demeanor as a senator of the Roman Senate and the patriarch of the Grand Clan.

Then, Cornerus led Publius to the center of the venue, and then shouted to the veterans below: Everyone, this one is the new Senate from last year, the veteran Publius Manlius from Rome. Please welcome him to be one of us with warm applause!"

Applause suddenly rang out enthusiastically.

Then, Cornerus signaled Publius to say a few words.

Publius did not refuse. He took a step forward, stood up with his head held high, and looked around with a smile on his face, and then said loudly: "On the way to Turiyi, I deeply felt the vast territory of the Kingdom of Dionia; when I arrived at Turiyi, I was attracted by the prosperity of this huge city. I know that all this is closely related to the efforts made by you, the elites of the Kingdom. I am very happy to be one of you and contribute your own strength to the strength of Dionia!"

Applause rang out in the venue again, even more enthusiastic than before.

The five rotating chairmen looked at each other, and the meaning they expressed was self-evident: Over the years, they have held similar and simple welcome ceremony in the Senate for many senators who had just joined the kingdom, but few people can speak such words without being humble or arrogant. This senator from Rome is not simple!

So the five asked Publius to sit next to them. This position was not something newcomers could do, but today I left this seat for him. On the one hand, it was to express the sincerity of the Dionian Senate to the Romans, and on the other hand, it was also to facilitate them to understand the recent situation of the Latinum region from Publius. So as soon as Publius sat down, Cornerus and others started a warm conversation with him.

At the same time, local councillor representatives entered the venue one after another, and the entire venue became more lively.

I don’t know how long it took, an order official came over and whispered: “Five sirs, all participants have arrived.”

Cornerus stopped talking to Publius, looked at the other four people, and asked, "The people are here, let's start?"

"Snap the time to start, and if you drag it on, today's meeting may last until the evening and cannot end." Anta Oris said anxiously.

Cornerus stood up, and the other four people stood up and walked to the center of the venue together.

The venue immediately burst into applause and repeated in this closed circular space.

Publius turned his head and looked back, and saw that there were people sitting on all the wooden chairs, as if even several entrances and exits were added. Except for the center of the venue, they were crowded everywhere.

There are at least a thousand people!...Publius was surprised.

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

At this time, standing in front, the Senate Order Officer who belongs to the Kingdom Supervision Department shouted in unison: "The Kingdom Conference is about to begin, please keep quiet!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the venue immediately became quiet. Everyone's reaction was a little surprised. Of course, he didn't know: no matter who dared to continue making noise at this time, he would be expelled from the venue by the order officials on the grounds of "deliberately disturbing the venue". This is not only a problem of making a fool of himself in public, but will also be investigated by the Supervision Department afterwards, which would be a huge loss.
Chapter completed!
