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。145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqTsucBtIB

「伯母。」145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5WvtMD1Wg
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBCLBmu01G
「娘，你為何在這裡？」145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOFZbUrE4q
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFgnojo6Ps
「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？」145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9ShOd7d2E
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡachpUpbjWc
秋語蘭支支吾吾地一時半刻也組織不出一句完整的語句。145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSpjbQwcn3
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLrWo7zeO1
「娘你別逼她。」145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41pi20Tiwf
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAaG8rUJPE
「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。」145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFZDrSQQIT
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFSanyJtaN
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。145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ihQnpw7kQ
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjCmj9uf1r
「我們根本還未好好認識彼此。」145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSafty4Ih6
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11RVkBsUU6
「成親後有大半輩子供你倆認識，我跟你爹當初也是如此。」145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekWk1FlTqV
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1Py048rqT
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。」145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6YPC2svDe
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfD0vmZCZw
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。」145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpc5B2iJu6
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWcyft1DXK
「有何不妥？雲軒無論哪項都無可挑剔。」145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5pAOUkkye
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWAsTxCG0p
「但我不愛他。」145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBBYfD2aHc
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7BPKowCrn
「成親看重的不是愛，傻孩子。」145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXseiskr0Z8
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxyc1wZxbr
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。」145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFoIMv5cf8
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OeI7ZvpUE
「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。」145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50jxGBv86I
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6QEmOrgI4
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！」145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS49zwUYjNn
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ99PVyKCNm
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？」145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZMlGAPWKR
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFYaS0egjA
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。」145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gQuyqeYcf
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ue8yB4gu0
「下個星期嫁人，還掛念別人像話嗎？」145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu659sty5m
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebTDqCyTOX
秋國盛瞳孔收縮，瞪向招弟：「何時說好的？」145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqpPAotvI8
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIu5VodgmDe
「方才與青芳講定的。」145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIazcm24Jz

「你真是…成親不可隨意決定。」145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib228tnUf2
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUFUq3BsTJ
「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。」145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNm1ddbtbe
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JGSYhj1ti
「也該他倆相處的空間。」145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQUvsQeNBm
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2bA0L7h9p
「我倆當初也是，還是走到這。」145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH1rl8CXyT
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX015uT30YZ
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。145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNaDOak8ez

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。145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2qrCQdhrz
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0RQgM5d5s
「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。145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRHulSZM19
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hy6jRWk4c
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。145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iLtBA24wB
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kuEX09mYm
「快！他們已經快到了。」145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN7u9M1cCs
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY1YGzyteT
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。145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwU05URl1i
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KtQB4NykB
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。145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTFrDhWfFV
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7p5eQCDX6
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。145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBUd0nKliy
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnImYP3LAga
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。145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mWV0EyWbA
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGYRHJm7f0
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。145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZxYxa4OVr
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8okq15Uu5
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。145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFz7hG19VZ
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBQulqnVqG
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。145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7xhC8CaHm
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5TwXauihx
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。145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Uxeb0HotE
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZssWLP2EB
收回視線，秋語蘭陷入回憶的泥沼，與谷翊曾談過成親。145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhJH7SNIS7
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6YDDMTGpy
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。145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7N0xqHQSa8
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkCidObSoY
「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。145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNkbkLOqYw
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSrwLJuPgW
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。145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvymdnUsrXA
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgt535uw6C
「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。145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVl9qnz2tj
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQElERPq2t3
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。145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZiqhzdXaA
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyzq7BdqrV
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。145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLZoeaXWaW
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmOWth2bni
「不許哭，成親不許哭。」145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iMavnCnIC
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPzaO9zKKn
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。145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U68ze3njl
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnv2Zmg72t
「繼續，別誤了時辰。」145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JqdLlgKPI
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTnUFBEWe7
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。145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u66nytdUG
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStpoLkJ1Xd
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。」
