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。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYDw0Kpdfw
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaVEacBA0B
「伯母。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKAtSzcJV8
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qcy6XFw01
「娘，你為何在這裡？」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstWNJ0m4zP
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPq12rjsW7
「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？」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8siC5BRvaN
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT05TZiClIw
秋語蘭支支吾吾地一時半刻也組織不出一句完整的語句。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL5GikIyfQ
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5KZ7WCxqD
「娘你別逼她。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg9bYr5LmC
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNCXu2stzk
「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。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFPkoDMHdH
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yvaNzgYWk
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。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB4i82BzM9
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsV2blYnsMJ
「我們根本還未好好認識彼此。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBl7XFMOW85
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4JCpatVL6
「成親後有大半輩子供你倆認識，我跟你爹當初也是如此。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zlv7JQpGV
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vlp27VW06
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。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7KnPh0SQS
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj2JFr97Mf
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。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYwCbEcNv1
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zKa9u1VJm
「有何不妥？雲軒無論哪項都無可挑剔。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe74vKGnLcn
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbxDUB0IIX
「但我不愛他。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWnF4kT4vN
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbptgchUg4K
「成親看重的不是愛，傻孩子。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhElXYe8a1
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEldkXt2U1m
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。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZYfuSy4or
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡba5w2W32PA
「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。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIr61Q9OI8
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU20itkrvQ
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！」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mCmt4rEHb
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC53k7gn25t
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？」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoNH6Lpbkm
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcuCdmLYgN
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。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh60ZU905Ef
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvqq0hipvo
「下個星期嫁人，還掛念別人像話嗎？」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1lUd6UIml
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSep6oKp7rj
秋國盛瞳孔收縮，瞪向招弟：「何時說好的？」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljQA9GuEZ6
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOobT9H5Nn
「方才與青芳講定的。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMSfp279Bn

「你真是…成親不可隨意決定。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGL9yTWVAQ6
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXd35sKLCW
「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。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1TEjbG4uj
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIKDqeer1x
「也該他倆相處的空間。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvFbqL9h71
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOEhOoidL9
「我倆當初也是，還是走到這。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S599REHoz
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALz68sJ7nX
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。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81x3DFbtdb
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9zFa4B3NI
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUBTp8Ofio
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。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02qP6kps8H
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ar7tTZ82s
「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。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAFxyoXYDh
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFEkBz8Q2t
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。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcoo0KPohy
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FlYzEJMxq
「快！他們已經快到了。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO89S3nH0N4
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5yBniur4u
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。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIWRXuKMs0
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhavfAhjl8j
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。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8wVqLTkdt
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g32g0dnS3
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。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyWnkHtFpG
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LDaJi20IV
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。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwSFQgg6yi
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP39g2fqKKB
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。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ367LhPSAYp
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsZluQ5ctO
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。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vA2vVAnr8
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8FYpGHk9k
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。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrp3GSXcPF
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ8GzpAU5q
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。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM5DoncKXa
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83JdEfQPuN
收回視線，秋語蘭陷入回憶的泥沼，與谷翊曾談過成親。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW8bIDzqAh
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNypetZpwT
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。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp9IWmFgDS
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRngRtN3Hp
「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。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3FUW5jRxg
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAkxthYYmI
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。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotQFJHUZeb
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SMSKXIxf0
「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。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdcHfDsTUU
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0Zf3oMuEm
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。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqTszXxz07
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgzoXCvd5y
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。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0flEPe5DG
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuJBnmLKUt
「不許哭，成親不許哭。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMRsEpT07O
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9oVQRuPT6
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。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8Kww46X5E
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYxtzetE9o
「繼續，別誤了時辰。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdca8O3yFfS
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyGrKC3z23
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。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkOq5lwDWA
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpvFJ4UqUi
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。」
