Chapter 574 Another Spring Festival couplet
"Xiaoxiang, it will be [-] years old tomorrow, and the base will hold a New Year's Eve banquet, and you, the leader, will go up and give a speech."

"Got it." Wang Xiang responded in a low voice and muttered: "This Zhao Jun is really real. The New Year's Eve banquet is the New Year's Eve banquet. I want to go up and give a speech."

But he really can't shirk this matter. As the leader of Jiayuan base, although he doesn't usually manage the affairs of the base, everyone is looking forward to his appearance at the New Year's Eve banquet.

Li Rujuan and Liu Qingqing were busy preparing the New Year's meals, Wang Xingbang was also decorating the house, and Wang Xiang carried Bao'er out of the basement warehouse with nothing to do, followed by Xiaowen, a follower.

"Where are we going?"

Xiaowen asked while gnawing on the fleshy bone in his hand, this guy never stopped talking all day, except for eating.

Bao'er lay on Wang Xiang's shoulder, blinked and said, "Brother Wang Xiang took us to the market."

"Going to the market? Are there many delicious foods in the market?"

I haven't finished eating the meat and bones in my hand, and I'm thinking about other food.Wang Xiang was completely speechless about this snack.

More and more bases joined the trade market, and more and more items were traded. Wang Xiang wanted to see if he could find some interesting things to bring back to Datang as gifts for Little Loli and the others.

In the end, after shopping around, I basically bought all the food. I had no choice but to let Xiaowen, a snack food, follow behind me. In the end, Wang Xiang bought a few bundles of fireworks and gift bags to take back.

On New Year's Eve, of course, fireworks will be set off to create the atmosphere, and this is also a gift he promised Little Lolita. Xiaowen and Bao'er are not surprised by fireworks in modern times, but Little Lolita and others set off firecrackers in succession They will be very excited, and they will be even happier to see the gorgeous fireworks salute.

When Li Rujuan and Liu Qingqing were back in the basement warehouse, Wang Xiang asked the two little guys to play games by themselves and then returned to Datang with fireworks and salutes.

The Hou Mansion is also busy preparing for the New Year, which is more complicated than the end of the world, and Steward Wang is directing the people in the mansion to be busy.

Little Lolita was playing with Gu Pan'er in the yard, when she saw Wang Xiang come back, she jumped up and down and shook Wang Xiang's arm: "Brother-in-law, what about the gift you promised me?"

Wang Xiang smiled and said, "It's ready, but I won't give it to you until tomorrow night."

Little Lolita immediately became happy when she heard that the gift was ready, but she pouted again when she heard that she could only give it tomorrow night.

"Why do you have to give it to me tomorrow night?"

"Because this gift will look good at night."

After hearing Wang Xiang's words, the little loli immediately became curious about the gift Wang Xiang said.

After dismissing little loli, Wang Xiang was about to talk to Wu Shun and the others when the little girl suddenly ran into the backyard and said anxiously: "Master, Duke Lu is here."

Why is Lao Cheng here?Wang Xiang was a little curious, but he didn't dare to neglect, and hurried out to meet him.

When they got to the front hall, they found that not only Lao Cheng had come, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, Changsun Wuji... and Chen Gui were also there.

Chen Gui is the person next to Li Er, why did he come here and wait for him here?
As soon as Wang Xiang appeared, he said loudly, "Zixin, why did you come back? We've been waiting for you for a long time."

Wang Xiang hadn't figured out the situation yet, so he paid a gift and asked curiously, "Uncle Cheng, why are you all here?"

"Of course I'm looking for you to ask for Spring Festival couplets. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and the Spring Festival couplets at my house haven't arrived yet."

Yuchi Jingde also opened his mouth and said: "My house also lacks Spring Festival couplets."

Wang Xiang looked at Qin Qiong and the others, and they were all dying in the same way. He was speechless and said, "There are so many people in your house who can write well, just find someone to write a few."

Lao Cheng waved his hand and said, "That won't work. I asked someone to write a few Spring Festival couplets. The words are good, but I let people read the content of the Spring Festival couplets. It's far worse than Zixin's."

"Then you can ask them to write according to last year's Spring Festival couplets."

"How can this work? Last year was last year, so of course we will use new Spring Festival couplets this year."

I'm dizzy, who stipulates that the Spring Festival couplets can't be the same every year...

But these few didn't listen to the explanation at all, even Li Er sent Chen Gui over to ask for new Spring Festival couplets, Wang Xiang sighed helplessly.

"Okay, you guys wait a moment."

He also only remembered some of the most common Spring Festival couplets in later generations, and he was not capable of making some different Spring Festival couplets, so he had to find another way.

After returning to the end of the world, Wang Xiang immediately called Zhao Jun and asked him to look for books that recorded the Spring Festival couplets.

Thousands of years later, the New Year's atmosphere in the cities is getting weaker and weaker. Almost everyone doesn't post Spring Festival couplets anymore. They usually just post a few "Fu" characters. Only the rural areas still retain the custom of posting Spring Festival couplets.

When Zhao Jun heard that Wang Xiang was looking for a book that recorded the Spring Festival couplets, he thought he was going to paste the Spring Festival couplets in the basement warehouse, so he hurriedly asked someone to ask. After a while, he really found a thick copy of the "Spring Festival couplets". Xiang flipped through it briefly, and there were at least a thousand Spring Festival couplets recorded in it, and without a word, he immediately returned to Datang with "Complete Spring Festival couplets".

Old Cheng, Yuchi Jingde and the others waited in the hall after hearing Wang Xiang tell them to wait for a while, thinking that Wang Xiang wanted to go to the Spring Festival couplets, but after drinking a few cups of tea and eating a few plates of snacks, Wang Xiang did not come back. I'm a little anxious.

Just when Lao Cheng was about to let Xiaoya go to see the situation, Wang Xiang finally came back, still holding a thick book in his hand.

"Zixin, why have you been here for so long? I didn't see you thinking about it for so long last year. Have you neglected to learn recently?"

What are you neglecting to learn? I don’t have any knowledge at all, okay, uh...it doesn’t seem right...Forget it, Wang Xiang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "There are so many things that have happened recently, so I don’t want to be interested in learning."

"The couplets?"

Wang Xiang raised the "Spring Festival couplets" in his hand and said, "It's all in here."

Lao Cheng heard that he snatched the "Complete Spring Festival couplets" for fear that others would snatch them first. Last year, there was a lot of competition for the Spring Festival couplets.

But this year there is no need to fight for it. Lao Cheng was stunned when he opened the "Spring Festival Couplets" and said in surprise, "There are so many!"

Wang Xiang smiled and said: "All the couplets I know are in there, just find someone to write what you like." Thousands of couplets are enough for them to use for many years.

Everyone came over to watch it curiously. Wang Xiang took the opportunity to sneak out of the Hou's mansion. He didn't want to be dragged by Lao Cheng and the others to ask questions.

After leaving the Hou's Mansion, Wang Xiang wandered outside for a while, and when he passed the Jinguang Lake, he suddenly remembered the hot spring house behind the peach forest. Since the Kawamura sisters moved to the Hou's Mansion, the hot spring house has been vacant. Bathing in hot springs is the most comfortable. Thinking of this, Wang Xiang went through the peach forest and walked towards the hot spring house with great interest. Although the Kawamura sisters moved to the Hou's mansion, there are still several Silla maidservants in the hot spring house.
