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。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKKtBXum23
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1DWR1w5x6
「伯母。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzlMz2pBmy

「娘，你為何在這裡？」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwtUyDckb8
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibll7fCQNF
「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？」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg42PLOjdMi
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bpw6NuLNj
秋語蘭支支吾吾地一時半刻也組織不出一句完整的語句。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttj2o2JXii
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5AuJkUSiU
「娘你別逼她。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr9jePfMsH
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEy4xFySyVW
「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。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe68LGCj0w4
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ281KrFmjG6
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。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE5seaepvn
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzb3XEjL4HO
「我們根本還未好好認識彼此。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3lB6d3PU6
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyatltEo83H
「成親後有大半輩子供你倆認識，我跟你爹當初也是如此。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtgScULxag
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7xOiQSPhh
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。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87wxXehOgD
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrlpJLd1Wc
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。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaluO9qdaH
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl25E0uNHGQ
「有何不妥？雲軒無論哪項都無可挑剔。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimwwtakPmK
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndPFsJoEak
「但我不愛他。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpYeVUZKzr

「成親看重的不是愛，傻孩子。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69CoA27msH
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImG7kja7K4
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。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl85m3MxUfZ
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSpduJpLDl
「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。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBynaziQ3w
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcue7zzCZiy
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！」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8GJKcxf4P
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo5OrmkyeM
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？」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLfe2VddvU
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFJgoO2gyr
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。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu0tqtUAdT
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVKbjfFTwN
「下個星期嫁人，還掛念別人像話嗎？」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC4avUthhl
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos2tCKdIJm
秋國盛瞳孔收縮，瞪向招弟：「何時說好的？」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvhdinljzE
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF5XM9XGgd
「方才與青芳講定的。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJMEK9cyZi

「你真是…成親不可隨意決定。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDxAdFj0bu
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z92JtrsoB
「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。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uJXyJUfVA
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIq5vXlWU9
「也該他倆相處的空間。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlzG3igR3Y
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ496nlYew5D
「我倆當初也是，還是走到這。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUMi0KuYmo
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlIYbU7QBR
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。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ou4m3Joc3

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。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYHKervCct
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGVAGRGYJh
「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。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhe6LygjRa
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSCHRT8aNJ
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。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtFGoNR6ms
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9n61LIUgb
「快！他們已經快到了。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PpfbVeRuk
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC1DsG0h4H
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。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOwzMZ4eGt
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCkYTH1USX
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。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzdkcS9weO
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWf5Qp5eRr
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。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSwO8r22jj
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UTUkrjdRR
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。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZLW96RQob
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh0IJmb9FJ
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。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QKZwKOcun
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Alb1HYthN
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。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR67LdyJTK5
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUKRiXPGeb
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。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhdIlNWr46
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM93csaXUG
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。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUDfmKQRX6
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs0udTvTzy
收回視線，秋語蘭陷入回憶的泥沼，與谷翊曾談過成親。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI2OywNe2b
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7h6tQGFtR
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。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRblKvlHePi
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LzOvpEsD1
「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。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXenEqTMEWL
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xqKxTWGJI
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。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBx40DpwMUQ
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTNAB504oi
「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。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBLCiz9ckb
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknmEzFdu8B
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。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwQiA9h6LN
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgDtdZlnme
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。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnAkwv53Co
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjBKMp46Hx
「不許哭，成親不許哭。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ492NlgtwdS
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxmyDb0BmH
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。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70qDKnclfc
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLrqmPMFQZ
「繼續，別誤了時辰。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2pjYQaSxS
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLmjNYhqvh
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。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SrxFBJBtV
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3eryipw1m
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。」
