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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfJ5vDYQDB

「娘，你為何在這裡？」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0giIm8mli
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmjWpO5NQo
「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？」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVemgiRQvk1
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ7RA3FUSb
秋語蘭支支吾吾地一時半刻也組織不出一句完整的語句。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodIjPR9KwZ
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYICPuD8OU
「娘你別逼她。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8WdmJ7Ipt

「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。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wi7NBNlbm
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1g4ybjIsc
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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fsriEuX6H
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDPvI8ba0v
「我們根本還未好好認識彼此。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GS2vaub0C
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx5QZkt24T
「成親後有大半輩子供你倆認識，我跟你爹當初也是如此。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyLHBYNgFr

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。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfY8n0mFtiF
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1yue15v9H
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。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaqKdaZI9L
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXSMGe11Nx
「有何不妥？雲軒無論哪項都無可挑剔。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXRdAws4wt
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVx6d4CRsc
「但我不愛他。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM652cic3Ay

「成親看重的不是愛，傻孩子。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhjmii6fr2
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvDJUlnfIB
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。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSVcHe0jwM
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSuFMT3fTE
「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。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2kOQ63I0u
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDgXr23tVI
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！」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtrtsCaLOt
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx0B88BC56
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？」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFkXNgnv4H
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu42sIzAcd6
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。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFaITqiv6a
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHImrKz0zZ
「下個星期嫁人，還掛念別人像話嗎？」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7R8Jtj9xs
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeynrRq7A1
秋國盛瞳孔收縮，瞪向招弟：「何時說好的？」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiblSvJ7FnT
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYcVhH5HOD
「方才與青芳講定的。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vzReOZCHG

「你真是…成親不可隨意決定。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOK5IGI8FbX
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX9KKukMrK
「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。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX9qdGJ60A
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjkMYJ89pm
「也該他倆相處的空間。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T8efmCFHN
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoLyzbvCll
「我倆當初也是，還是走到這。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0tFwXWPfr
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrfUJThzSK
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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G0ClDxorH

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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJeYM9ngmF
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcb7h01heG
「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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv8WSdyxnn
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqfCFUgTya
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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1fdQsNDCy
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuJF9Zulfb
「快！他們已經快到了。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69LHjMUsHS
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0XjRrvE3X
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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20Nyd8sB4c
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmfevFMzqK
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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJhqPiytvF
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCox4WEJXlo
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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyihGIkCcM
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaK4ANAJqjZ
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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5En53MqEif
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjnMTTbZ3t
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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nkfbSk9jN
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeYcxD0kK5
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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLtKBtH0JQ
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCAskbar1X
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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HGS1gYVnE
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BbsRp6kMq
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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtfQM3L7bk
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLJ0zfn1ia
收回視線，秋語蘭陷入回憶的泥沼，與谷翊曾談過成親。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmAdaxHfwV
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCYUuaJWx6
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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQIJllbVM4
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaVeJguLPj
「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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUDKGIdWgx
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUfjwX09zl
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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW10q3lQuJ
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbT6bljFdcN
「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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlMpypRs09
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUObjgCuHw5
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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1sGiXTCOA
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabSJUeEPyk
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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJp83IPJZF
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX051AERH0i
「不許哭，成親不許哭。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqHCROpylT
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFvXP5x1DY
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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS61Li8kDc0
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRth8IVfria
「繼續，別誤了時辰。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxv9PDXNmS
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6DJT62lP5
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。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoPHvze1G4
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv8W6CJGtr
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。」
