Vol 9 Chapter 188: Ivia's marriage

"If it were not for your help, I would not be today!" Hesklaus hurriedly stated: "I am willing to always serve you!"
"Hey, we are mutually beneficial and there is no one who wants to serve whom." Sostatus said very simply: "If one day you want to develop independently, no problem, just tell me. My father once told me After a sentence,'The more friends, the wider the road.' I have always kept it in my heart, and implemented it according to this, so I have today's status. Even if you want to be independent in the future, I will support it. We are still friends. We can help each other."
"Don't dare! Don't dare!" Hesklaus said repeatedly, but he took Sostatus' words to heart.
"I'll tell you the business." Sostatus suddenly became serious: "It is precisely because I have a great reputation in the pottery shop in the inner city. His Majesty Daves knows about it, so he ordered a batch from me. Pottery, the order I sent you 7 days ago is what he wants! You must use the best clay, the best potter, and the best bottle painter. According to my previous request, use the shortest one. Time to make the most exquisite pottery, and then send it to Turiyi, if it can satisfy your majesty... Think about it, we may become a pottery vendor specializing in supplying the royal family, by then the entire kingdom and the kingdom Allied people will definitely be proud of owning our pottery! More importantly, if your majesty is satisfied, I will mention that you are a Peleus and come from his hometown. Then he will look at you differently, do you think ?!"
Hesklaus opened his mouth wide and was stunned on the spot. He never thought that the previous order was so important to him. He has paid enough attention to it, but now it seems that it is not enough. He immediately said: "I will rush tomorrow. Back in Athens, I personally urge the workers to make the best of the best!"
Sostatus nodded and said with consolation: "Don't worry, the sports meeting will be held a month later. There is no time for the time. I will buy the tickets for the opening ceremony and some important games, so you don't have to worry about it. , Concentrate on doing this thing well!... Oh and this little guy—"
Sostatus patted Lirias on the head: "Don't let him toss back and forth, just stay at my house, I will let someone take care of her!"
"Good!" Hesklaus agreed without hesitation.
Lirias looked up at the two blankly, he still didn't know what happened while playing with the statue.
At this time, a teenager ran over: "Father, what do you want me to do?"
"You came just right." Sostatus beckoned: "This is Uncle Hesklaus, my partner."
"Hello, Uncle Hesklaus!" The boy immediately stepped forward to say hello very politely.
At the same time, Sostatus pointed to him and introduced: "This is my second son Sosiklis."
Hesklaus was a little embarrassed because he didn't specially prepare gifts for Sostatos' children.
Of course Sostatus didn’t care about this. He pointed to Hesklaus’ son and said,
This is your uncle’s son Lirias. He will stay at home for a period of time. You, as the little master, are responsible. Take care of her and let him have fun in Turei, understand?"
"Understood, father." Sosiklis stepped forward and quickly took Lirias and ran into the inner courtyard together.
"My lord, this... really troubles you!" Hesklaus said with some emotion.
"I have three children. One of them fell ill and died when he was young..." Sostatus chatted casually: "There are only two sons left. The elder is influenced by his uncle. , Unwilling to do business, willing to be a soldier, and now work as a team officer in the Border Corps stationed in Thessaly (there was a riot in the Border Corps in the Po area, and the Ministry of Military Affairs learned a lesson from this and stipulated: The Border Corps is divided The captain and the officers above the squad captain must be served by regular Dionian officers to ensure the absolute loyalty of the entire legion to the kingdom). I went to Thessaly 4 years ago mainly to visit him. As a result, Hades blessed him. , Let me discover you, a very capable businessman—"
"My lord, you passed the award." Hesklaus was a little embarrassed, but of course he would not know that Sostatus went to Sesali back then, visiting his son was only one of the reasons. The most important thing is to open up Sesali and Dio. Because Hiros is his brother-in-law, he has some convenience in doing things in Thessaly. It was just a coincidence that Hesklaus, a pottery merchant, did have some abilities, but Sosta Tus values ​​his origin more, because he is from Peleus.
"...So I had no choice but to place my hopes on Sosiklis, hoping that he could inherit my family business in the future..." Sostatus said, leading Hesklaus into the restaurant in the front yard. , This restaurant has a large area with a lot of tables, but only a few people are chatting.
"Come on, let me introduce you to you." Sostatus said with a smile: "This is Hesklaus from Thessaly! This is Iskraus from Messenia! This is Ionidas from New Sparta! This is Andor Kiddes from Arcadia Alliance!..."
When Sostatus finished the introduction, the four people immediately discovered what they had in common: all came from the regions and allies that joined Dionia after the Greek War, and they all joined the huge business established by Sostatus. Newcomers to the Internet, it’s no wonder that they came so early, and immediately felt intimacy.
Just as everyone shook hands and greeted each other, Sostatus' henchman hurried in and whispered a few words in the ear of the master. Sostatus immediately left and strode towards the courtyard gate.
At this time, his housekeeper respectfully welcomed in a thin and energetic old man.
"Master Tios, I didn't expect you to be the first distinguished guest to arrive!" Sostatus smiled so much that his fat face was like a flower: "Welcome, welcome, your arrival makes me shine. what!"
"Businessman, the important thing is to be punctual and trustworthy." Teos said earnestly: "It's good to say that if evening arrives, you should arrive at dusk. Anytime late evenings should be fined!"
"The order given by Lord Tios, then I will definitely implement it!" Sostatus said with a grin: "If you don't let the latecomer drink down tonight, the banquet will not be over! But Lord Raos, you Should I be fined for drinking too?"
"I came so early, why should I be fined?" Tios pretended to be puzzled.
"Your son Aksikus married Princess Avia. This is a great happy event!" Sostatus said angrily: "You actually did the wedding quietly and did not invite us to a banquet. As a celebration, even during this period of time, you can’t come out to see people. Is it because you are now a relative of your Majesty and feel that you are in a high position, so you look down on our old brothers!"
"Don't talk nonsense! I made it clear to you last time. It's not that I don't want to celebrate. It's because Princess Aegness and Princess Avia don't want to make the marriage uproar, so your Majesty specially gave it to me. I gave instructions and asked me to do that. I am also very depressed. After they attended the marriage festival, they hid directly in the palace mansion. When the wedding was held on the hill of kings, only our family was allowed to go up. Until now Many of my relatives are still complaining about me!"
"Hahaha..." Sostatus smiled heartily: "I heard that Princess Aegness and Princess Avia are both very quiet people. It's not surprising that you can make such an arrangement. But Ai Princess Via is beautiful and virtuous. How many young talents in the kingdom want to marry her. In the end, your son succeeded. This fully proves that Aksikus is very good!"
Tios was very proud of his heart, but said modestly: "I can't talk about excellence, but just happened to be shot by Eros' golden arrow~EbookFREE.me~Princess Ivia is the director of the zoo, ah Xikus also likes animals. You know that the iron cages for animals in the zoo are made by my iron workshop. Whenever an iron cage is to be built, Aksikus personally takes people to the site to survey and make... …It’s been a long time like this, when Aksikus suddenly told me that he was going to marry Ivia, I was shocked. I didn’t know how they got together?"
"All right, Lord Tios, don't be proud of you! Tonight's banquet will be celebrated by our old friends. You must be drunk to go home!"
"Okay!" Tios nodded very simply: "But you have to get drunk with me too!"
"why?"
"Because you also have a happy event to celebrate!" Teos blinked his eyes: "Don't think I don't know, your brother Dika Okrat has become the commander of the army!"
"What a happy event." Sostatus disapproved: "There are dozens of legion chiefs in the entire kingdom. My brother is only a legion commander at his age, which is nothing at all."
"The commander of the legion is nothing, but it's nothing to be the commander of the veteran." Theos said calmly.
"He just became the commander of the legion, and it is impossible to be elected as the veteran in the short term. There are many legion leaders in front of him..." Sostatus is not hopeful about this, although the rights of the veteran are now It is not as good as before, but it is still expensive, and it also has the power to elect auxiliary ministers, select regional chief executives, listen to and evaluate local officials’ reports... etc. It is also the main force of the Kingdom Assembly to amend and formulate laws at the beginning of each year. Is it an administrative official or an army general who is still eager to enter the Senate.
Sostatus was talking, suddenly thinking of something, looked at Tios with a mysterious smile on his face, and asked in a low voice, "Do you have any inside information?"
