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

Li Yuan watched the two women's embarrassment.

He found it amusing.

So he deliberately said in a cold voice.

"The welcoming feast you two prepared is too crude, you do deserve a beating."

The two women shuddered in fright, and one could see the muscles on their bodies tense up.

But then Li Yuan said in a gentle voice.

"However, I have important matters to attend to today, so I will spare you for now."

"I will properly punish you two tonight."

The two women breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Immediately afterward, Li Yuan said again.

"You don't need to worry about the food and drink, I brought some with me."

After speaking, Li Yuan turned around and carried in the carrying pole he had brought from outside the door.

The two women looked up at the carrying pole, both somewhat stunned.

They saw all kinds of supplies hanging from the carrying pole.

Li Yuan first took down the various meats hanging on the pole.

He said to the elder sister, Chu Wanjun.

"Take these, the roasted goose and pig's head meat are already cooked."

"Heat them up in the stove and then slice them and arrange them on the table."

"This piece of pork belly, blanch it in hot water to remove the gamey taste."

"Combine it with scallions and ginger, cut it into chunks and cook it thoroughly, I will be entertaining guests later."

The elder sister hurriedly got up and agreed, taking the ingredients with both hands to process them in the kitchen.

Li Yuan turned around and instructed the younger sister, Xiaozhu.

"Pour the wine I brought into bowls and arrange them nicely."

The younger sister Xiaozhu also hurriedly took the wine pot to pour the wine.

After handing over the wine and meat to the sisters for processing.

Li Yuan said to them again.

"Prepare the welcoming feast properly."

"I will go to the village entrance first to take care of some matters."

Watching their husband's dashing figure.

The two sisters felt like they were truly in a dream.

The younger sister was still daydreaming.

The elder sister had already reacted.

"Let's quickly do as our husband instructed."

"The village elders and the village head will be coming to the house to drink at the welcoming feast later."

"We must not lose face for our husband."

The younger sister also recovered and quickly nodded in agreement.

Just at this time, the stove still had a fire burning.

The two sisters hurriedly took the ingredients into the kitchen.

They placed the pig's head and roasted goose into the pot to warm over a low flame.

In an instant, the kitchen was filled with the fresh aroma of meat.

The reason Li Yuan chose this pair of sisters.

Naturally, it was still due to his ability to recognize talent.

Just now, he walked to the east entrance of the village.

He saw two women in this courtyard showing light on their bodies.

Li Yuan knew that this was his special ability telling him.

That these two women were of the highest value to him.

What's more, Li Yuan looked carefully.

The elder sister Wanjun was gentle and beautiful, and the younger sister Xiaozhu was lively and agile.

Both of the beautiful women fit Li Yuan's aesthetic.

Then what was there to hesitate about?

So Li Yuan directly knocked on the door and entered.

He chose this pair of sisters to be his women.

Taking the sisters' household plaque, Li Yuan came to the village entrance.

At this time, the short, fat military fort commandant was having a good chat with the old village head and the head of the military households.

Li Yuan walked over and bowed first, then said.

"Military household Li Yuan has chosen the Chu sisters of household number seven, Jia division, at the east entrance of the village to be his wives."

"This is the household plaque, please register it, superior."

Hearing that this young man had chosen the Chu sisters from the east entrance of the village.

The old village head and the head of the military households exchanged glances.

Both of them showed surprised expressions.

The village head stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"Then congratulations to this young man, you've made a great bargain choosing the Chu sisters."

Li Yuan hurriedly bowed and asked with some doubt.

"Why is that? Please enlighten me, village head."

The old village head, Gao Bo, saw that Li Yuan was very polite and was satisfied in his heart.

So he said to him in a gentle voice.

"Most of the families in our East Township Village who were chosen as top households this time."

"Are mostly relatives of military households who died in battle at the Chishui River half a year ago."

"Most of them are widowed households."

"That is, the men in the family died in battle, and the government needs to assign a new man to enter the household to support them."

"But the Chu sisters are not in this situation."

"Oh?" Li Yuan was a little surprised.

He thought that the Chu sisters were sharing a husband because the man had died in battle, so it was his turn to be the head of household, but now it seemed that this was not the case.

The old village head continued to say.

"The Chu sisters have never been married."

"Those who died in battle at the Chishui River were their father and brothers."

"It is said that their father used to be an official in the Great Liang Upper Capital."

"Because he was too upright, he offended his superior."

"He was implicated in factional struggles, and the whole family was exiled to Dingzhou and incorporated into the military households."

"The exile was arduous, and the family died, leaving only the father, brothers, and sisters."

"When they arrived in Dingzhou, they were assigned to our East Township Village, and their elder brother was a military household, and their father was a village scribe."

"With their father and brothers supporting them, their family was able to live a decent life."

"Alas, during the great battle of Chishui River last year, the father and brothers followed the imperial army on an expedition."

"Unexpectedly, both father and son died on the front line."

"Losing the protection of their father and brothers, the sisters suddenly became orphans."

"Since they are relatives of military households, they must be dealt with according to the rules of military households."

"So this time they were chosen to become military dependents who needed to be the head of household."

"This young man, the Chu sisters are both unmarried young women."

"Am I wrong to say that you have taken a big advantage?"

After speaking, the old village head looked at Li Yuan with a smile on his face.

"So that's how it is."

Li Yuan's face was naturally full of surprise.

He thought that being a military household would be good enough if he could be assigned a widow.

He didn't expect to pick up two unmarried young women for nothing, so he certainly had a big advantage.

Hearing this, the group of new military households who were waiting behind the military fort commandant to be assigned wives all showed envious and jealous expressions.

Everyone came to be military households.

How could all the good things be taken by you, kid?

The military fort commandant also shook his head with a smile.

"Such good luck, Young Master Li is truly the envy of others."

After speaking, he took the register of military households and wrote Li Yuan's name in the position of the head of household number seven, Jia division, at the east entrance of East Township Village.

He handed the household plaque back to Li Yuan and said.

"Congratulations, Young Master Li."

"From now on, you will be their husband."

The village head and the head of the military households also nodded in congratulations.

Li Yuan hurriedly bowed to everyone and said politely.

"I have prepared wine and meat, and I will invite you all to my house for a small gathering later."

The military fort commandant, the head of the military households, and the village head all nodded in satisfaction.

The commandant and the village head and others still had to continue to preside over the household lottery for the remaining ordinary military households.

The other military households saw that Li Yuan had gotten two unmarried young women as wives.

They were already impatient.

They urged the commandant to start the lottery quickly.

Li Yuan saw that there was nothing else for him to do here.

So he turned around and returned to the village.

This would be the home where he would live in the future.

He wanted to take a good look at this East Township Village.

To be honest, in Li Yuan's opinion, the geographical location of this East Township Village was not bad.

The south side of the village was a small plain, mostly reclaimed into farmland, with a small river flowing through the middle.

The north and west sides of the village were continuous mountains.

There was also a small river on the east side, but because it was the dry season, the water flow was not large, and some places had already dried up.

Most of the people in the village had a sallow complexion.

Now was the time between harvests, and it seemed that not many people could eat their fill.
