二人在回家路上，連簡單交談都無法維繫，將秋語蘭送至家門，何雲軒訝異於熟悉的身影出現在她家客廳。191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDIEm2Smk8
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWFbzrn2CA
「伯母。」191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcXmW2d7bU
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSOLdmBYxh
「娘，你為何在這裡？」191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS22QnlxQf
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMPgRpurml
「二位回來了，相處怎麼樣？」呂青芳將兒子拉到一旁，見詢問無果，將矛頭指向約會的另一位：「阿語，今天可有趣？」191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcBNN2r4Q2
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aCZkIPDdi
秋語蘭支支吾吾地一時半刻也組織不出一句完整的語句。191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVgpsu5kWr
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKZoz4l4FX
「娘你別逼她。」191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19IMVKDzGw
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6448cYLlD
「好好好，我告知你們好消息，下星期二是良辰吉日，你倆在那日成親，我與阿語家人談成了。」191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAg6cVKURCl
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToWlijmzOm
二人皆將震驚溢於言表，但二人後續得情緒截然不同，何雲軒的情緒較為羞澀與不解，秋語蘭則是嫌棄與憤怒。191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMICTHu03D
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQfQ05rLtj
「我們根本還未好好認識彼此。」191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNFIedjP84
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdokdqCoxz4
「成親後有大半輩子供你倆認識，我跟你爹當初也是如此。」191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIFauBugqE
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnL82QKBPs
何雲軒看向身旁的人，她眼神銳利，抿著嘴雙手握拳，顯然對於突如其來的消息無法認可，何雲軒想再說，卻被呂青芳帶走：「我們先離去，下回見。」191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQ6buIL1QF
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUClX5eBglk
秋語蘭對著擦身而過的母子頷首示意，面目可憎地走向方才未開口的招弟：「為何隨意決定我的婚事。」191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ2piMdjvy
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHw8xkz1xR
「有何不妥？雲軒無論哪項都無可挑剔。」191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSZksc3wDw
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDucSW5JH6o
「但我不愛他。」191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVdskLseVs
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuwHovPQkU
「成親看重的不是愛，傻孩子。」191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWac6oXgDq
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ532jMZk34X
不等秋語蘭反駁，招弟走進房間拿出斑斕的衣物，秋語蘭一眼就明瞭是什麼，秋語蘭語氣仍壓抑著情緒：「還給我。」191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxyAYZ090O
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPxwTARHQJ
「這就是阻礙你無法接受這樁婚事的最大主因，我幫你斷了念想。」191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9MkBQnfrp
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFSOOvSqKY
招弟取出剪刀不等秋語蘭反應，便將衣裳剪破不只一處，後者心急如焚每一刀都如同劃在自身，情緒已無從壓抑：「不要！」191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK9kfBRQ2w
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EZNu1PoHi
劇烈的吵鬧聲驚醒家人，大家都來到客廳，秋國盛見此景象率先開口：「阿語，跟娘說話是這樣的嗎？」191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtloNJeNc2
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDwM6nCYaT
秋語蘭未回嘴，盯著招弟手中的衣裳，秋國盛敏銳地發現，伸手想接過它：「別這樣。」191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB01dOiyTcb
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8klChn20vq
「下個星期嫁人，還掛念別人像話嗎？」191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIOLvikqgq
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYZHyz5YjO
秋國盛瞳孔收縮，瞪向招弟：「何時說好的？」191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy32Urerujh
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡft8UtojVBu
「方才與青芳講定的。」191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU6yLxJNM6
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKwVkk9rIZ
「你真是…成親不可隨意決定。」191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgdaxh3tsB
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1edeLtV0ht
「你不也覺得雲軒是好的選擇嗎？他爹身為村長，都同意這婚事，繁文縟節也就不用在意。」191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCM6ka3hrog
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCf5L6T8fS
「也該他倆相處的空間。」191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IhsfGOEj5
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0hDketLSP
「我倆當初也是，還是走到這。」191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq2oVDGWwT
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIGWJxoAtS
秋國盛啞口無言，撇了眼秋語蘭，晶瑩剔透的眼珠被淚水沖刷，秋國盛本想開口，又看向招弟便作罷。191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQbvxJRUNN
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHq4A2a3dv
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUEiBIi7OZ
天空烏雲壟罩，將烈陽隱匿，空氣冷冽，村里人聲鼎沸，村長長子娶妻，眾人皆聚集在何雲軒家，連日本軍官都來此湊熱鬧。191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIcFE0jtss
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAZdDfRuYc
「發生什麼？」日本軍官詢問著身旁的翻譯， 翻譯立即向他解釋來由，日本軍官覺得有趣，便帶領手下前往。191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkc9bnZ67M
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj58wVJC6sa
秋語蘭一襲鮮紅色嫁衣坐在自家客廳雙眉緊蹙並且閉著眼，任由旁人在她臉上塗抹，家裡父母親忙進忙出，此時，爆竹聲由彼處飄來。191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02FdRDmHhx
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8Coh8cBTh
「快！他們已經快到了。」191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9nI73LaSn
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUKmLzHSXO
招弟的聲音在秋語蘭旁邊響起，她能感受到在臉上塗抹的速率與力度有所改變。191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4svwTIBKac
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtiewQuyj6
何雲軒一行人浩浩蕩蕩地來到秋語蘭家，何雲軒駕白馬、持繡球，穿著一襲紅裝，下馬，直至家門口，遞出紅包。191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jpFA9jQeB
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZxKsFrBqM
經過一番繁文縟節後，喜悅之情溢於言表的新郎，踏進客廳，往已蓋上紅頭紗的新娘走去，只是伸出手，卻未取得回應。191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9VbQ4wnIJ
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkO9IvACJT
眾人沈默一會，連鳥兒都慌張地叫出聲，振翅而飛，新娘卻未有動作，似乎世間時間霎時間暫停，讓招弟急得上前，抬起她的手輕柔地放至何雲軒手上。191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOeCkHIf5F
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Nl6uy3qG0
眾人的時間得以重新流逝，掌聲如雷，何雲軒牽著秋語蘭的手，行至花轎前。191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTfptFCXnB
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfjLHEHYyM
花轎前頭垂至地面，使秋語蘭輕易跨出步伐，在轎子裡坐穩後她示意何雲軒，後者領意，將布簾放下並跨上馬匹，眾人司其職地啟程不同於來時的路線返回。191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOO2PAw9lhw
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYyvmPKxds
秋語蘭被帶離自家，爆竹聲不絕於耳，震耳欲聾，世間已無其餘聲響，如此，內心的聲音格外宏亮。191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEPfY1XXQp
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbSfUnHiXc
成親之於秋語蘭未有任何實感，她從花轎上，拉開布簾，端詳著外面，有人點著炮竹，有人抬著花轎、有人興奮地喊著，唯有她還未入戲。191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpYTqsuaHz
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRmeQTjreH
收回視線，秋語蘭陷入回憶的泥沼，與谷翊曾談過成親。191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF4Kaq4ksu
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQnPrqjOqt
成親時的樣子，兩人身著嫁衣的般配，喜宴旁應搭個戲台讓穿著婚服的谷翊上台演出，諸如此類，如今淪為笑話。191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGwQQDONPf
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv2rlLtQmR
「他甚至不喜愛看戲。」爆竹聲毫不留情地吞噬秋語蘭的話，未留下任何痕跡，秋語蘭毫不在意地笑著。191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnuMPCudpr
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9XyZpRWh1
不久，花轎不再向前，秋語蘭感受到花轎傾斜，順勢邁開雙腿，撩開遮幕。191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERYfuJyJwD
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCX19T8PIw
「下雪了。」稚嫩地聲音在人群中響起，引得眾人紛紛仰頭，二位新人也無一倖免。191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j7kZOi4e3
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJNRAwowI5
雪花緩降，落在血紅色嫁衣上，格外刺眼，也襯托著二人的婚禮。何雲軒望向身旁的秋語蘭，揣測著她心中的念想。191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi178sUGx8
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmzu9Iv3qn
家門面前擺放無數的禮品，秋語蘭霎時間獲取實感，眼前的住所既熟悉又陌生，已然注定為往後餘生的住所，淚水奪眶而出，身子也止不住地抽動。191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfNvuOqz1j
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDGMg7jCxU
「不許哭，成親不許哭。」191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr24cSc04kb
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQkP32kec3
招弟喝止，她仍啜泣著，聽聞便想強忍淚水仰起頭，無數情緒推波助瀾下，似氾濫成災的河流無從阻止。191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fUUNcfxLO
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJY3QZBtCo
「繼續，別誤了時辰。」191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS3Ph61y1t
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oKOqLSA5x
眾人見新娘哭停下動作，招弟出聲催動眾人的腳步，引導二位新人向前走。191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEonl1fzXSk
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXItm5RXal
走進家門，何雲軒爹娘端坐在右側，家中四處能見紅色布置，擺放在正中的神桌，何家列祖列宗見證著此次婚姻，秋語蘭對祂們只覺陌生且不解，二人一同轉身，雙膝著地，聞禮生高聲叫喊：「一拜天地。」
