Chapter 225 Special Waist Badge
Chapter 225 Special Waist Badge
Xiao Guoer also put two gold ingots next to her ears with great interest and knocked them together, listening to the "clang clang" sound made by the gold hitting each other echoing in her ears, which seemed like the sound of nature and touched her heart.
How could there be something so lovable! Hehe, it makes people happy just by looking at it! When I bring it back to Zhuxian Lane, Yingniang will definitely be happy when she sees it.
After admiring the golden gold, Xiao Guoer carefully put it into the package and waited for the second quarter of the afternoon to arrive, then took the package back to Zhuxian Lane.
But she never expected that her concern and the joy she wanted to share would be dashed without any warning.
Until 2:00 pm, Xiao Guo'er was in a distracted state, as if her heart had already flown to the small courtyard in Zhuxian Lane.
She planned her schedule for that hour, first going to see Yingniang, then going to the lottery shop. She wondered if Tang Xi had encountered any problems during this period, and whether her lottery shop was running smoothly. Maybe Tang Jingchen would wait for her in the spice shop next to the lottery shop, and she could find time to talk to her boyfriend.
Oh, one hour is really tight. I have to go to two places and it seems not enough.
Xiao Guoer stared at the shifting angles of the shadow on the sundial, just like a student waiting for the end of get out of class or an office worker waiting for the end of get off work, staring at the time on their mobile phone.
Finally, it was two quarters past three in the afternoon. She ran towards the palace gate at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, carrying the package that had been prepared long ago.
The guard at the gate of the palace stopped Xiao Guoer dutifully. Xiao Guoer was not at all flustered and calmly took out the new badge that Lord Wang had given her just two quarters of an hour ago from her arms.
It’s true that this housekeeper Wang Fu is very efficient.
The Eighth Prince ordered Wang Xiyuan to make a special waist badge for her in the morning, and she received it in the afternoon.
The front of the waist badge had the logo of the Zunyi Palace, which was no different from other waist badges, except that there were two more lines of small characters engraved on the back. Xiao Guoer stared at the two lines of small characters and couldn't help gritting her teeth, cursing in her heart on the spot, this Eighth Prince is such a shrewd and calculating fox!
She couldn't stay outside for even a moment with that badge.
The two lines of small characters engraved on it clearly read: This badge is only valid between 2:15 pm and 2:15 pm.
Just when Xiao Guo'er was feeling depressed that her plan of cheating was about to fail, suddenly an idea flashed in her mind.
Wait a minute, this badge can only be used between 2:15 pm and 2:15 pm, so she can go out today and come back tomorrow!
As long as the Eighth Prince doesn't look for her within a day, she won't be exposed.
Hahahaha, she is indeed a genius at finding loopholes!
From now on, she would try her best to reduce her presence and make the Eighth Prince feel that there was no difference whether she was there or not. As for the important steps of making tea, she would leave most of them to Xia Lan and Qing He. She would just help out with chores like boiling water, washing tea cups, and tidying them up. Anyway, the Eighth Prince was used to the cooking skills of these two people and should not notice anything unusual.
In this way, she could disappear silently for a day and probably would not be discovered!
Thinking of this, Xiao Guoer regained his confidence in being sneaky.
After Xiao Guoer showed her badge, the guard let her go.
She rushed out of the gate of the palace like a small cannonball and ran towards Zhuxian Lane, like someone who had not been home for a long time, and her heart was filled with an eagerness to see her relatives.
While running on the road, I couldn't help but smile and my mood was full of joy. When I was out of breath, I was thinking in my heart that I would have to get a means of transportation in the future. Running like this every day not only consumes physical energy, but also wastes all time.
When that ordinary wooden door came into view, Xiao Guoer felt like she was in college in her previous life, when she was eager to go home during her winter and summer vacations.
The old wooden door was knocked with a loud "bang bang" sound, accompanied by Xiao Guo'er's happy call, "Yueya, sister, open the door quickly! I'm back!"
Then there was the sound of hurried footsteps, and the wooden door was opened from the inside with a creaky sound, revealing Yueya's surprised and happy face.
"Second Miss! It's really you!"
As Xiao Guoer walked in, she pinched Yueya's surprised little face and said with a smile, "It's really me! I haven't seen you for more than a month. Did you miss me? Where are Sister and Aunt Zhou? Why didn't they come out to greet me?"
Xiao Guoer skipped towards the main house, not noticing that Yueya's smile suddenly collapsed.
Of course, no one was in the main room. Xiao Guoer walked around and came out again, asking in confusion, "Where is Sister? Did she go shopping with Mrs. Zhou? Yueya, go out and find her quickly. Second Miss, I don't have much time, so I have to leave soon."
Yueya said hesitantly, "Mrs. Zhou didn't know that the second young lady came back today. She went to visit her son and will be back tomorrow."
Xiao Guoer only felt something was wrong at this time. Her elder sister never liked to go out, and she would never go out alone. She looked at Yueya's hesitant expression, not knowing how to speak, and her heart tightened. She asked hurriedly, "Where is my elder sister? Where did she go?"
Yueya opened her mouth, not knowing how to explain the cause and effect of the eldest girl's incident, but when she saw the anxious look on the second girl's face, she immediately blurted out, "The eldest girl is getting married!"
Rumble, Xiao Guoer felt a buzzing sound in his ears and could not hear clearly what Yueya said.
"what?!"
Yueya repeated again, "The eldest girl is getting married!"
Yueya remembered that the eldest girl had left a letter for the second girl before she got married, so she hurried into the house to look for the letter.
This time Xiao Guoer was sure that she had not heard wrong, but the huge shock made her stand still for a while, and it took her a long time to realize the fact.
Is my sister married?
Xiao Guoer’s first reaction was to go find her sister and find out what was going on.
How come my elder sister got married just a month after she left? Didn't she say she had thought it through and wanted to break up with Zhou Fangye? And how did Madam Zhou and Fu Yaoning change their minds and accept Yingniang?
She desperately wanted an answer.
She turned around and was about to go out to Zhou's house to get to the bottom of things.
She took it for granted that her elder sister would marry Zhou Fangye and never considered the possibility that her elder sister would marry someone else. After all, she knew how deep her feelings for Zhou Fangye were.
The news that Yingniang was getting married had such a huge impact on her that she did not even think that if Yingniang married into the Zhou family, how could Yueya and Zhou Po not follow her?
When Yueya found the letter and came out, Xiaoguo'er was no longer in the courtyard.
"Second Miss? Hey, where did she go?"
Yueya looked at the open door, puzzled. She walked out of the door and looked around, but did not see the second girl. She had to retreat back to the courtyard. When she was about to close the door, she was blocked by a folding fan that suddenly came in.
