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。128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlKvO04AI7
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlUss5vcSA
「伯母。」128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGJGAQaezd
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPbx46h8lA
「娘，你為何在這裡？」128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx5Qjwbhwd
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfWIdMbOrI
「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？」128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwPDRjAvxX
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zotjOd1WF
秋語蘭支支吾吾地一時半刻也組織不出一句完整的語句。128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Hb7IzWboJ
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfuK3GFLr7
「娘你別逼她。」128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyG7Y9naMl
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFf8YhA4sa
「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。」128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbS0ExbYOo
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4axd0VwVi
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。128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZbQANUNfr
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMtY7mrnD0
「我們根本還未好好認識彼此。」128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudzWJT121k
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkw50JxrEnv
「成親後有大半輩子供你倆認識，我跟你爹當初也是如此。」128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2geJspXCl

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。」128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNCYMI0Fpf
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn8i5LptN7
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。」128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5w0Ks2Q98
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVCre94AbR
「有何不妥？雲軒無論哪項都無可挑剔。」128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7OUW0tWLj
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtsnVg8DAC
「但我不愛他。」128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53Jql7obyh

「成親看重的不是愛，傻孩子。」128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAIQEjxryA
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNzF90ffz5
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。」128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvCMtCfAic
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJpTyvdzLl
「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。」128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu2A9rvpmR
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8vbivIxuE
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！」128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzVdzToLj8
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBq2Sd58NJL
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？」128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoRC72VHpw
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVVMmHFObO
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。」128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x8VWBLfNS
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KYEsxl2Bv
「下個星期嫁人，還掛念別人像話嗎？」128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlChTyrYANW
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIVD4mZ0hQ
秋國盛瞳孔收縮，瞪向招弟：「何時說好的？」128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23gRN6mBs8
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rqrqa8QZE
「方才與青芳講定的。」128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXpm6BqFrQ

「你真是…成親不可隨意決定。」128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBRpGrTEhb
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVGOSTlvb9
「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。」128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKEqafOWbl
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnetW9pQ5hr
「也該他倆相處的空間。」128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGK2IJapRF

「我倆當初也是，還是走到這。」128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaSJyYBBCD
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2Ls7H0TF9
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。128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcOHz6BgTs

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。128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqXogwrKei
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasegTH7Bgo
「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。128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP01IhkbbJ
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWQaxsIEKi
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。128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDmzfnvlwC
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHz11tgV28
「快！他們已經快到了。」128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr2thaPsMD
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwgpGEGRL3
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。128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53ouY9TWeb
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrJNXPKhWj
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。128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJFNLUUCTQ
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFevnifYRLk
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。128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgatGhlj19h
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXGrE9HlEb
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。128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD6COvsIPY
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExuV2ydR1r
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。128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk8LQx8jxQ
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0RLdEbzb1
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。128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMR1ZY9AFz
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0ne5PDySm
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。128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk5GiRXmYC
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBZVarWdL7
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。128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzMrVb9dkn
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Rc2nHhR2K
收回視線，秋語蘭陷入回憶的泥沼，與谷翊曾談過成親。128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPu5qVTlju
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgejqCXPDjc
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。128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oI0p0hEV2
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2FLjh2mC4
「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。128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5UUeUFA67
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIxOzYNgC7
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。128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSYZdQmejl
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9ebMg2fh3
「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。128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaav8dxkBi
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXwlRAtoTc
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。128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbeL70OKWw
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxjy6zoKNQ
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。128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLANa7VVlys
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRMT8b5Oyy
「不許哭，成親不許哭。」128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKuEDiI14C
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWDSAEvhpR
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。128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuSiVBQ65E
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiP6BZWK5O
「繼續，別誤了時辰。」128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYzFEa5Na9
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3vZBi13Xc
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。128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD4ucD8l7M
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMZDjVi5lD
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。」
