Lan Shaozhi’s attire was exactly the same as Lan Xing’s. In fact, there was a white ribbon tied to Lan Shaozhi’s forehead. As long as it was a person, they could probably tell that the Lan Clan was handling a funeral.
However, Su Ye knew that Lan Shaozhi’s current attire was definitely not because of someone from his family who had passed away, it was definitely because of Su Youguo.
Thus, Su Ye couldn’t help but frown and say, “Uncle Lan, why are you dressed like this?”
Lan Shaozhi sighed in disappointment, but he did not answer immediately. Instead, he held Su Ye’s hand and said, “Let’s talk after we enter the room.”
Su Ye had no intention of refusing, and allowed Lan Shaozhi to drag him into this large hotel room.
As he walked, Su Ye noticed that the decorations in the room had a white hue. Even Mother Lan was dressed in white. Although there was no obvious sense of funeral between Lan Xing and Lan Shaozhi, the meaning he wanted to express was very obvious.
Thus, Su Ye smiled helplessly and slowly said, “Uncle Lan, no matter what, it’s impossible for me to bring you over.”
Lan Shaozhi was stunned. He waved his hand and smiled, “You really misunderstood. I didn’t say I wanted to go with you.”
Su Ye was puzzled, “Then why are you dressed like this?”
After Su Ye sat on the sofa, Lan Shao slowly said, “You don’t understand, do you?”
Su Ye really didn’t understand, so he couldn’t help but tilt his head slightly.
At this time, Mrs. Tang had already placed some washed fruits on the table. Without saying anything, she gently retreated.
Lan Shaozhi sighed in disappointment and shook his head as he read, “Heaven and earth are the roots of life; ancestors are the roots of humanity; masters are the roots of governance. No heaven and earth, no ancestors, no lords, no lords, no lords, no lords, no lords, no lords? How can there be peace? Therefore, the heavens, the earth, the ancestors, and Lord Long are the roots of rites.”
Su Ye frowned. He really didn’t understand why Lan Shaozhi would say so many classical Chinese words when he came up. However, for Su Ye, although his results in the Chinese exam were usually horrible, he could actually understand the classical Chinese.
After analyzing Lan Shaozhi’s words, he narrowed his eyes and said, “What exactly does Uncle Lan want to say?”
Lan Shaozhi sighed softly, “Heaven and earth are the foundation of survival. Ancestors are the foundation of clans. Monarchs and teachers are the foundation of national stability. Therefore, courtesy is to respect the heavens and earth, worship the ancestors and respect the monarchs. Now that something has happened to Xingxing’s master, this is naturally necessary. Otherwise, it would be rude.”
Su Ye smiled.
Lan Shaozhi slowly said, “Don’t think that we don’t need to do this, but since Xingxing is my daughter, then our family is already inseparable from her teacher. It’s all just what we should do. Furthermore, you’ve given me the chance to become a capable person. I don’t know if I should call you master, but your grandfather will probably have to call me master …”
Su Ye hurriedly waved his hand and slowly said, “There’s no need to be so courteous. I’m just doing it with just a simple gesture. Since Uncle Lan wants to become a capable person, the current situation is the best opportunity. I don’t have any thoughts of accepting you as my disciple. Besides, if I really accept you as my master, wouldn’t everything be in chaos?”
Lan Shaozhi smiled disappointedly and hurriedly said, “I understand. But now, no matter what you say, you have the kindness to teach me. Although you are not a proper apprentice, you have the same intention. I will treat you as a filial piety.”
Su Ye was stunned for a moment, then he bitterly smiled and said, “There are some things that are good to think about. Is it necessary to do these formal things?”
“When you’re alive, no one else knows what you’re thinking. After you die, can you tell what the living are thinking?”
Su Ye was stunned.
However, Lan Shao shook his head and smiled bitterly, “How can we, as juniors, not think about how to inherit the etiquette passed down from the Old Ancestor? Why do we feel that something is so simple in form?” The so-called filial piety, However, after the elders passed away, their descendants wore linen clothes and white hair to express their condolences. They wore mourning clothes and filial piety to send the deceased off. This was a manifestation of respect for the deceased and filial piety towards the deceased. In the past, this kind of thing had to last for three years. How could the young people of today be so resistant in such a short period of time? ”
Su Ye fell silent, unable to refute anything.
Lan Shaozhi slowly said, “Emphasizing piety and reverence for the deceased in plain clothes, In the eyes of the ancients, each color represented a different meaning. White was the most suitable for the sacrifice. This could set off the sorrow in one’s heart and express one’s condolences for the dead. Because white was the purest color, without any color, it represented cleanliness and neatness, highlighting one’s devotion. ”
Lan Xing was also listening from the side. After Lan Shaozhi’s explanation, Lan Xing seemed to realize that these attire had a profound meaning. After skimming left and right, he hurriedly picked up the white ribbon that she had thrown aside and took it into his mind.
It was clear that Lan Shaozhi’s idea for Lan Xing’s outfit today was not Lan Xing’s original intention, but Lan Shaozhi’s.
However, Lan Xing did not tie the white ribbon to his forehead. Instead, he used it as an eraser to fix his hair.
For a moment, Su Ye came back to his senses in deep thought. After a miserable smile, he slowly said, “Whatever you think is really important, but what you do is also indispensable.”
After saying that, Su Ye slowly stood up from the sofa and asked, “Then Uncle Lan must have prepared such clothes for me, right?”
Lan Shaozhi smiled and nodded, “Yes, I’ve already put it in the bathroom for you.”
Su Ye turned around and glanced at Lan Shaozhi’s gaze. Without saying anything else, he raised his foot and walked towards the bathroom.
After Su Ye closed the bathroom door, Lan Xing narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered, “Dad, is this really going to work?”
Lan Shaozhi smiled. “I don ‘t know, “The specifics depend on whether your senior brother can figure it out. After all, some people are like this. They can’t accept the departure of someone who is extremely important to them for a while. They will lie to themselves and say that there is still the possibility of that person coming back. However … a person’s death will never be able to be revived. No matter how powerful your senior brother is, he will definitely not be able to change such an iron law …”
Lan Xing sighed and said, “Senior Brother, I’m afraid you know this. I just don’t want to lose even the slightest bit of hope. Why do you have to expose him?”
Lan Shaozhi You You replied, “If you don’t dare to face it, you’ll never be able to cross this obstacle …”
