Without pausing, Wen Xi took Gu Shengmo's hand and walked into his room.
He dug out a very simple cotton jacket from the bottom of the box and helped her put it on.
Compared to the other masters of the Gu Mansion, such clothes really looked like those worn by servants. It wasn't that the family treated her harshly, but Aunt Mao had been accustomed to a hard life since she was a child.
Compared to those silk satins and brocades, the soft fine cotton made her feel more secure.
Of course, she didn't dare wear it outside to embarrass the family, so she just made it secretly and wore it inside.
But I have to say that cotton clothes are indeed more comfortable to wear than those shiny clothes.
Seeing her brother changing his shoes and socks, Wen Xi reached into the closet and found some simple clothes to put in the coffin.
Turning back to her brother, she said, "Mo'er, if you have any small things you want to take, just pack them out yourself. Sister will go back to the room and clean up first."
When he returned to his room, he went straight to the drawer of the dressing table.
He took out the twenty-odd taels of silver he had saved with great difficulty, looked at the pearl-shaped hairpins and the like, and curled his lips! They were all worthless little things.
He managed to pull out a few pieces of silver jewelry and quickly went into the bedroom.
I put on a thick cotton coat. After getting ready, not to mention the sweat from the stuffiness, my round body shape alone is unpleasant to look at.
In order to live a little more comfortably in the unknown future, Wen Xi packed a thick quilt, some fine cotton cloth, and a few clothes into his coffin.
Looking at the overflowing closet of clothes, Wen Xi felt helpless. A coffin is only so big, but it's nothing like the farms people often boast about.
At least it's better to have it than not to have it. Make good use of this space.
Wen Xi packed up all the needles and thread in the house like a bandit. He also went to Aunt Mao's room to collect some inconspicuous but very practical things.
Although I knew that I had encountered this kind of terrible thing of property confiscation as soon as I arrived, I was not too worried.
Because in this unheard-of Great Chu Dynasty, as long as one was not a heinous criminal, his crime was no less serious than that of men under the age of ten, women, and slaves.
It's not that I look down on Gu Yan, but with his little clownish skills, he is far from being an unforgivable criminal! At most, he is just a hapless little weed on the edge of the circle of succession.
So I don’t have to worry, at most I’ll just lose some wealth!
It’s more comfortable to spend money if you earn it yourself.
Although I don’t have the necessary skills for time travel, I can still achieve a goal of becoming a little rich and powerful.
“Gurgle…Gurgle!”
Wen Xi looked down at her stomach. Was she hungry?
"Sister..."
A slightly shy voice came from behind.
Wen Xi turned around and saw the little kid behind him. He clasped his hands together nervously, then laughed in an insincere way.
"puff……"
"Sister deserves to be beaten. You can't laugh at Mo'er. Besides, sister is also hungry! You stay here with auntie, sister will go find something to eat, and we can eat our fill before we clean up."
As soon as I walked out of the house, I saw Xiangye carrying a small bag and being pushed towards the door by her aunt with tears in her eyes.
"Our compound is remote, close to the small side gate on the west side. The officers and soldiers won't come over so quickly. You should leave quickly from there."
As he spoke, he pushed Xiang Ye even harder.
Xiangye couldn't resist, so she took a look at the mother and her two children in the yard, and ran away without looking back, as if she had made up her mind.
At this time, Aunt Mao leaned against the door as if she had lost her strength, and her tears could no longer be held back and flowed silently.
Wen Xi looked at her aunt who was pretending to be strong, but stood in front of everyone in such a difficult time, and couldn't help but shout:
"mother……"
Aunt Mao shuddered when she heard the shout, turned her back and quickly wiped her tears, saying with a smile:
"Have you two sisters packed up?"
"Well, Auntie, please hurry back to the house and clean up! I'm going to the kitchen to find something to eat. I'm a little hungry."
"Yes, yes, yes, it's my fault for not thinking it through. The three of us haven't eaten well since last night. If we are taken away, we don't know when we will have the next meal! You stay at home, and I will go look for her." After saying that, Aunt Mao walked out.
Wen Xi grabbed her sleeve:
"I'd better go! Auntie, hurry up and pack your things, otherwise it will be too late."
"But the kitchen is not close to here. You are just a child. What if you run into soldiers?"
Wen Xi smiled and shook her head:
"It's okay. I'm small and can hide quietly. It's not easy to be discovered. Besides, the kitchen is not a strategic location. There won't be many people there."
Aunt Mao still looked at her daughter with concern, as if she was weighing whether to believe it or not.
Wen Xi ran out quickly, waving his hands and saying:
"I'll be back soon, Auntie, please go in quickly!
