Transmigrating into a Turbulent Era as a Soldier, Starting with Marrying a Wife

Li Yuan walked back to his home.

Pushing the door open, he saw that the table in the courtyard had been completely transformed.

The pig's head and roasted goose had been heated and placed on the table.

Releasing an enticing aroma of meat.

The streaky pork had also been cooked, sliced, and placed on a plate.

Accompanied by a dish of sauce for seasoning.

The millet porridge had been removed, replaced by glistening and fragrant white rice.

White rice was very precious in the village, and using it to entertain guests was a sign of great respect.

Watching the two women busying themselves inside and outside the house.

Li Yuan felt a sense of comfort in his heart.

In this era, I finally have a home.

At this time, the village gradually became noisy.

Those soldier households whose women had been assigned houses through the lottery happily entered the village.

Each rushing to their new home.

Eager to see what their wives looked like.

For a time, there was crying, laughing, fighting, and鬧ing in the village.

Various sounds mixed together, making it truly lively.

Li Yuan felt the myriad aspects of life in the village and was deeply moved.

At this moment, the two of them were kneeling behind the table.

With their hands placed on their laps and their bodies straight.

Looking like they were waiting for guests to arrive.

However, Li Yuan could tell that the elder sister, Chu Wanjun, was fine.

But the younger sister, Xiaozhu, was probably starving.

With wine, meat, and delicacies right in front of her, she couldn't eat.

Her mouth was watering so much that it was about to drool, and her aggrieved appearance was truly heartbreaking.

Li Yuan walked to the table and said to the two women with a smile.

"If my wives are hungry, you can eat some first."

The younger sister's eyes lit up with joy, and she was about to say something.

But the elder sister said sternly.

"Husband, you mustn't. This is a banquet for guests."

"Only after the husband and guests have enjoyed it can we sisters eat."

"We must not mess up the rules and be laughed at by outsiders."

Li Yuan shook his head and smiled wryly.

He could tell that these sisters came from official families.

They had been raised with rules since childhood and paid great attention to etiquette.

But at this time, they were really hungry, and both sisters' stomachs were rumbling.

The two of them couldn't help but blush.

Li Yuan didn't say anything and walked to the carrying pole.

He took out an oil paper package from one side of the bamboo basket.

Inside were a few steamed buns that he had bought on the road as rations.

He had eaten two at noon, and now there were three left inside.

He handed the steamed buns to the two sisters and said.

"This is not part of the banquet, it doesn't matter, you two eat something to fill your stomachs first."

"If you lose your manners while entertaining guests because you're hungry."

"Your husband won't forgive you."

Looking at the steamed buns in their hands, the two sisters were stunned.

Although the husband's words sounded fierce, his concern for the two of them was overflowing.

The two women were very touched.

So they obediently picked up the steamed buns and started eating.

With some food in their stomachs.

The sisters finally regained their energy.

At this time, the sound of drums and music rang out on the street outside.

Li Yuan knew that the old village chief and the centurion of the soldier households were congratulating the new households door to door.

This time, Dongcun Village had supplemented 25 new men.

Including 7 regular soldier households and 18 auxiliary soldier households.

At this time, the old village chief and the centurion had just come out of an auxiliary soldier's house.

After the two came out, they shook their heads helplessly.

The banquets of these soldier households were very crude.

What they called wine and meat were mostly boiled internal organs and bitter, rough wine.

The dishes lacked seasonings to remove the fishy smell, and the taste could only be described as indescribable.

After the village chief and the centurion had eaten at a few houses, they quickly lost their appetite.

"The next house is Li Yuan's house, right?"

The village chief stroked his beard and asked.

"It is said that the warrior with the ebony waist牌 has a reward."

"I can only hope that his family's banquet is more decent."

Before long, several musicians came to the front of Li Yuan's house.

Hearing the noisy sound of drums and music outside, Li Yuan knew that the village chief and the centurion had come to congratulate him.

He quickly opened the door and invited the village chief and the centurion inside.

After the two entered the courtyard, they glanced at the wine and food on Li's family's table, and their eyes lit up instantly.

Now it's a famine year, and even for the two of them, it's extremely rare to see real meat.

Li Yuan quickly gestured.

"Please, both of you."

The village chief and the centurion came to the banquet to allow the newly arrived soldier households and the village elders to get to know each other.

This was a necessary etiquette and rule.

The Chu sisters served the village chief and the centurion each a bowl of clear wine.

And brought a plate of sliced meat.

The two raised their wine bowls, first said some congratulatory words, and then drank them all in one gulp.

Picking up their chopsticks, they ate a few more pieces of delicious meat.

This was considered a symbolic feast at Li Yuan's house.

Although the process was quick, the eating was also symbolic.

But compared to other families, the wine and meat prepared by Li Yuan's family were much more delicious.

The roasted goose and pig's head were the craftsmanship of Sixiangju in the county town.

Even the boiled meat was marinated with sauce.

The wine was also the better-tasting Chunjiang brewed clear wine.

The village chief and the centurion were very satisfied with their meal.

After saying a few more polite words of blessing, they left with their men.

Seeing the village chief and the centurion walking far away.

Li Yuan closed the door.

He smiled at the two sisters who were still kneeling on the ground and said.

"My wives, get up, let's have a good meal together."

The elder sister, Wanjun, said to Li Yuan.

"In the family, the husband should eat first. We sisters only need to eat some of the husband's leftovers."

Li Yuan shook his head and said softly.

"Since you have recognized me as your husband."

"Then you must listen to my rules."

"In my Li family, the husband eats, and the wives must accompany him."

"Come, be good, come and accompany your husband to eat."

Hearing Li Yuan say this, the elder sister, Wanjun, could only smile wryly.

Knowing that her husband felt sorry for her and her sister, she felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

So she had no choice but to sit beside her husband with her younger sister, Xiaozhu.

Li Yuan placed two bowls of rice in front of the two sisters.

Then he said to the two of them.

"Your bodies are so weak, how will you bear children for me in the future?"

"Eat more to nourish your bodies."

Hearing the husband's words, both of their faces turned red.

They quickly picked up their bowls and used eating to hide their embarrassment.

The sweet and soft glutinous rice entered their mouths.

The two sisters were so happy that they almost cried.

Their previous days had been very difficult.

After their father and brother died in battle, they could only rely on the few dou of rice bran allocated by the military fort each month to survive.

The sisters went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables during the day and stayed up late at night to spin thread at home.

They usually relied on rice bran and wild vegetables to fill their stomachs.

So that they would not starve to death.

The meat on the table in front of them was something they didn't even dare to think about.

The younger sister, Xiaozhu, was biting on a goose leg.

But tears were falling into her bowl.

The elder sister, Wanjun, was also teary-eyed.

The sisters had thought that they would not be able to put together a welcoming banquet this time, and they would inevitably be beaten by their husband.

They didn't expect that this husband would not only not blame them.

But also let them eat at the table together.

Such a man who treats his wives so well.

This is rare in the male-dominated Great Liang Dynasty.

They had thought that the man assigned by the military governor's office would be a vulgar soldier.

But they didn't expect that a handsome young man would come.

And he cared for them so much.

What more could the two sisters ask for?
