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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcA5ewcfzM

「娘，你為何在這裡？」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qwN2gO2Ts
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PPbOvYjxf
「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？」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0a3pSVyp47
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmiqZmJ664
秋語蘭支支吾吾地一時半刻也組織不出一句完整的語句。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQi6YGQI5V
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UYFCkiYgb
「娘你別逼她。」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUoiL58Xk6

「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。」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzDQi0nLNP
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOta2w8n7fB
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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACfjAI1E0s
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy4lMaHKpY
「我們根本還未好好認識彼此。」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPNyorjoPM

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。」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pU9YOqQy3
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZFhC2xfkx
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。」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdpJrrl3rs
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OCkXu5UBq
「有何不妥？雲軒無論哪項都無可挑剔。」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXVTQyX0dt
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqPq8wlsPJ
「但我不愛他。」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSeufR5iYl

「成親看重的不是愛，傻孩子。」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0GmBvU8mW
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSPVHszz9N
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。」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoTkd0P5eh
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEr3UX6uBi
「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。」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCCOSfRNOi
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xGXzDa48D
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！」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV66XFMrPW6
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3m1KTHmbm
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？」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e8XXWrfaH
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoH6K80QRI
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。」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEtweof5Pb
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIEtbMD3Bq
「下個星期嫁人，還掛念別人像話嗎？」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGD0x6MYtWJ
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsvayFPdz1
秋國盛瞳孔收縮，瞪向招弟：「何時說好的？」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6Dzk5Np0J
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTZpYFz4Vk
「方才與青芳講定的。」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3odlMIyzSp

「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。」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3DF3AvxjZ
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodmwmOTGuq

「我倆當初也是，還是走到這。」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUH4oMxvtZ
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35mvysmaFI
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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcqW0cgD82

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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijKe6CiPGb
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6EVBN2WP9
「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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcazLESAimL

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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0hHnDV1l2
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1eMFvFn6c
「快！他們已經快到了。」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi8Fp6umUR
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0VCksojo8
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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KwuHCh2kX
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlLK7I1rZm
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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JhigCCVUX
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvpUN5KbIS
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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkjaEGhz2H
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTVTWwXbdY
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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp85oEcOOsT
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYvH3zDkNq
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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SOqx1MRiP
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCY1ioMueJ
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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfBmkcxZaB
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSlzXvzkOk
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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQmAq6dFix
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcIDQUenBv
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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcH8FtQJlb
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqiUz4YDKX
收回視線，秋語蘭陷入回憶的泥沼，與谷翊曾談過成親。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3QZQGASYB
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIK7nv1gtZ
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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrXJMq3o5z
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQwgR9jotS
「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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNkNgZglUn
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyI0iEaBSq
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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGEFAlBuWq
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl82cFi6Igt
「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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pxHuCvUKu
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGJfsU3QRl
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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mrh7cbfYL
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgpGPosQnT
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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxB4ollgxE

「不許哭，成親不許哭。」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3n1uQkBOVi
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYNVr1TsJM
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。184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqHa9dLxsF
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjyGTv1ytJ
「繼續，別誤了時辰。」184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwIjhRnMGC

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nO0qhm9j8
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。」
