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。247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpqgO9F6fk
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeKwO6JPOE
「伯母。」247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnxcfjb9T8
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEHgqoMTlw
「娘，你為何在這裡？」247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ8Z7CvCOg
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGE6mgRS1X
「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？」247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP2UbSUnCQ
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa9d4M54a6
秋語蘭支支吾吾地一時半刻也組織不出一句完整的語句。247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWPiEazLW4
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsOCyZsJ1n
「娘你別逼她。」247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu2wE5BFhS
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaMn6Ob8HQ
「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。」247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSSxbfCGSy
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cAvGJOP95
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。247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdqcBWMpIt
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2HITwkwQY
「我們根本還未好好認識彼此。」247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiDIJh5H8a
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyR6KCQ1SK
「成親後有大半輩子供你倆認識，我跟你爹當初也是如此。」247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJWERZC94g
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfDnkHimxE
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。」247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eq2Zd57If
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKl8KjA6Vj
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。」247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtRPFPlXpy
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoSOAltYTM
「有何不妥？雲軒無論哪項都無可挑剔。」247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyT2fhk1ek
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5V5AaxWRg
「但我不愛他。」247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSX4ZdNRjM
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneqMOq5ZIa
「成親看重的不是愛，傻孩子。」247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWuoKkfsqz
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3zmv1vkA1
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。」247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSbSnwI9d3
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhMKqX9UIQ
「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。」247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98qWqcPfVu
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTruNxbvWt
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！」247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDUkElBHqz
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDOKmRnzOc
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？」247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOTQk1r13j
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4magrATA2
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。」247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvCmYO5pb9
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7qMj1G0tB
「下個星期嫁人，還掛念別人像話嗎？」247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWoVzmpRnD
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AtYGobODV
秋國盛瞳孔收縮，瞪向招弟：「何時說好的？」247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XjFNWeUvw
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNcNJdPNS1
「方才與青芳講定的。」247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlepeNIqxF

「你真是…成親不可隨意決定。」247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUUXss1arl
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Fow2sDuba
「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。」247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLxs3A9L06
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkxHLlUFWz
「也該他倆相處的空間。」247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mMbu3DKVT
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CplI33zlT
「我倆當初也是，還是走到這。」247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9WEj43SRD
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MMHnwmf1q
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。247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnCEMviE72
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg02J1pGqz
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUtKyfowMV
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。247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEpVWJzRrJ
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdtCNkNeJ0
「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。247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CbXJ3gSO2
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYneuEARWNO
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。247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMImSyj0AQ
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AmLx7DTGr
「快！他們已經快到了。」247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIUczf4Ak5
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfhjKQL6FM
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。247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5Ut99WW44
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLW72A8Iyvw
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。247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCiA5r7RAk
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJp5NGaNW0
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。247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgUuRkPZUb
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxvb39Yeb5
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。247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeBaqyW8RM
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPKbPVa51D
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。247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2DOQRmp0S
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjrMXEc1L7
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。247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQXsLfa570
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8raq0ecRRM
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。247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XjOXFjfHE
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyzrXdpHha
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。247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKMiU5yiJm
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSerNhb8DcU
收回視線，秋語蘭陷入回憶的泥沼，與谷翊曾談過成親。247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDRaTKGuTZ
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjmKlx8l2i
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。247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzi3sNi9kT
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEOaS4TdsV
「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。247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqscT1AFeu
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wr8VA6fgS
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。247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhydEeeJVA1
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaC6yHR2Hq
「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。247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiju0WXcuuG
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbVPYOLrfy
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。247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbypHd36gKN
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jjPfYrPxn
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。247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd9kliWsbD
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuRBH8XaFW
「不許哭，成親不許哭。」247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMq1v28D0g
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqX7ixdpOi
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。247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVWAhCCFLX
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL2u1SGlTa
「繼續，別誤了時辰。」247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsaSyRSAQ5
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S5GVGbwO7
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。247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9lvM42IlS
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegR5rh2jWg
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。」
