Jiang held the moon with her back straight.
She had just finished her accounting class when she ran into Zhou Xiangqun, who was waiting for her at the corner.
At that moment, her heart was pounding.
Zhou Xiangqun never hid his disgust for her. When he suddenly approached her, she was delighted but also a little confused, so she went up to ask him.
At first, Zhou Xiangqun refused to speak.
She waited silently.
The wind blew the leaves down, until one fell into her hair. Zhou Xiangqun leaned close to her and easily removed the leaf, making her so nervous that she breathed heavily and her cheeks flushed.
He whispered in her ear, "Help me add this to the Moon-Holding Teacup, so she'll lose face... From now on, we'll be in this together, and I'll treat you well."
Jiang Pengyue's heart pounded wildly.
She never imagined that Zhou Xiangqun harbored such malicious intentions...
If this powder was given to her, wouldn't she not even know how she died?
Then Zhou Xiangqun added, "She's too beautiful. I need to find some leverage over her beforehand to control her. You know, women who are too beautiful are almost always restless..."
"If she were like you, I wouldn't have resorted to such a desperate measure. Okay, Xiaoyu?"
In the dream, they were a mismatched couple.
They had spent their lives together, and he had never pleaded with her so softly.
Now, he begged...
Jiang Pengyue's eyes flickered with uncertainty, but she finally gritted her teeth and agreed.
Zhou Xiangqun was overjoyed.
He grabbed her hand, his face beaming, and said, "Xiaoyu, you're a good older sister. After I marry Pengyue, I'll arrange a good job for you, and you'll be set for life."
Fortunately, fortunately, she did not have the memories of her entire life as depicted in her dream.
It's so easy to handle.
Jiang Pengyue had mixed feelings.
But now that they've finally broken the ice, they must complete Zhou Xiangqun's mission. Only in this way can he never escape her grasp for the rest of his life.
now--
Xu Manzhi carried a cup in one hand and a snakeskin bag in the other, walked to the corner of the wall and put it down, passing by a person along the way.
“Drink it!” Jiang Pengyue said anxiously.
She kept a close eye on Xu Manzhi the whole time, her gaze always fixed on the cup, as if afraid that the tea inside would spill.
"Okay, thank you for your kindness, Sister Xiaoyu." Xu Manzhi smiled.
Raise your hand.
The cup is held close to the lips.
The cup was emptied again.
Jiang Pengyue breathed a sigh of relief.
She smiled sweetly, picked up the bowl on the table, and said enthusiastically, "Have some jujube cake, it's very sweet."
Xu Manzhi took one and popped it into her mouth.
call.
This...this tastes sweet?
It's warm and smooth, flowing gently in your mouth, sticky on your teeth, yet like nerve endings transmitting messages of pleasure, so wonderful that you want to eat one after another.
It's so delicious.
She picked up the plate and said to Jiang Pengyue, "Alright, I won't stand on ceremony with you. Go back to your room, take a shower, and change into some clean clothes."
Then, under the shocked gazes of everyone in the room, Xu Manzhi carried away a large plate of jujube paste cake, left the living room, and went upstairs...
The veteran cadre coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, saying, "Hehe, this kid is a true character."
"Yes, yes, Meiyun and Mingda's daughter is quite extraordinary."
That's a very meaningful statement.
Being genuine and unconventional does not equate to being impolite and lacking tact.
From now on, Xu Manzhi can forget about ever getting involved in the government again; that path is basically over.
Jiang Pengyue was overjoyed.
She never expected that she would kill two birds with one stone.
"Uncle Liu, Uncle Sun... I'll bring you a fresh plate. I bought a lot when I went to Jiang City last time. I'll pack some for you to take back and try later," Jiang Pengyue said.
"Haha, this child really knows how to conduct himself!"
The room full of retired cadres cast approving glances at Jiang Pengyue.
Jiang Mingda and Gu Meiyun looked proud and elated.
How could a child raised by the couple be bad?
Second floor.
Xu Manzhi quickly took a shower.
One thing she really likes about this world is that there is plenty of clean water.
In the apocalypse, water sources are severely polluted.
Old Xu hadn't taken a bath in decades. Every time he did, he would roll around in the sand to wash away the stench, but even that couldn't compare to taking a nice bath here.
Scooping up a ladle of clean water and pouring it over my shoulders, feeling the water soak my body, it was pure bliss.
Steaming hot.
She sat in a large wooden tub, rinsing herself while eating the date cake from the plate.
Waaaaah.
I'm so happy, so content.
If she hadn't been thinking about Jiang Pengyue's shady dealings and hadn't planned to give herself a proper wash, she would have just given herself a haphazard wash.
Hehe, slurping.
A faint sound rang out.
Xu Manzhi twitched her nose and smelled a foul, rotten scalp odor.
Someone is coming.
Wow.
I'm so excited.
I'm so excited!
This is a joke Lao Xu told, about the plots and schemes in ancient palace intrigue and domestic power struggles.
Ahhhhh.
She hasn't cracked open her skull in ages... Wait, it seems like murder isn't allowed these days...
Swoosh.
Seeing the clothes slip down, Xu Manzhi swung the towel, straightened it with the strength of her arm, and struck out quickly like a viper spitting its tongue, wrapping it around one of her arms.
...
"Holding up the moon—"
At that moment, a figure rushed into the Jiang family's house.
The young man was followed by a large group of people.
One of them had a camera hanging in front of him, wore glasses, and looked very polite; he must have been a newspaper reporter.
“Auntie, Uncle, some of my friends would like to meet Pengyue and take a group photo together,” Zhou Xiangqun said.
