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。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Wb1qBig9O

「伯母。」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe2tvaiVef
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8dcum9L3L
「娘，你為何在這裡？」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1y5ILs5K0V
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQyOI83XiK
「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？」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzNYrBtaSs
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡim9qhm53Bn
秋語蘭支支吾吾地一時半刻也組織不出一句完整的語句。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitf2zwQj45
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1GpyXGh0Z
「娘你別逼她。」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Dg0E9uRzJ

「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。」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZN9zYzxai
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9z6vloufv
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。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLs4yDsdxF
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi9oVuMqze
「我們根本還未好好認識彼此。」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCb8o4m9NX

「成親後有大半輩子供你倆認識，我跟你爹當初也是如此。」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQTdapJEkz
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcH3PvI8J5
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。」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphawpIdcsf
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhL8kyNufH
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。」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OICCBJarY
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5KM2njIOR
「有何不妥？雲軒無論哪項都無可挑剔。」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BbhArTPy1
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMezzspHkw
「但我不愛他。」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZyg5JRltn

「成親看重的不是愛，傻孩子。」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y1uJnGZQM
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwXCNMEMSH
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。」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepeWGbmg0s
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGy3v3GLuf
「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。」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQKs4PrimS
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQhZJ29ddY
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！」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBXBUkqMik
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXSF6tKQbV
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？」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUt5uGeqVB
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHhb3UgM7G
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。」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZurnn8aRq
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cNMAsS0Kg
「下個星期嫁人，還掛念別人像話嗎？」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IonSumi4W
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEicdyPAJyv
秋國盛瞳孔收縮，瞪向招弟：「何時說好的？」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKeU4u7hn1
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1XHfHZcsg
「方才與青芳講定的。」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rFwxaEulk

「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。」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqG3A5Laqsw
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJih1IfrwA
「也該他倆相處的空間。」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ691ikThfnB

「我倆當初也是，還是走到這。」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsX8EJUs56v
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHj8sSbDIr
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。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCD1DFwuqI

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。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC9ZpkCWc6
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIqHmrcBKO
「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。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3iSHGWhgL
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWhnjbZFEC
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。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RlxnfX7c2
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRquwp99Xjy
「快！他們已經快到了。」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnQCbDVpNr
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RVsI6zTl4
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。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VKxAz3R5O
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE78zal9I4
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。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCp9S5QjGQ
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nIdytcd3L
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。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgXuS6XeKh
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSei1COB9o
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。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fZD0cSuzu
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrT3oEcBZLy
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。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi2eLaZMZS
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jA7leoSIK
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。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO8bUy8wuj
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49GVNmV7NS
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。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eAKd7LjCc
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvGtc0UDKi
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。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04ry3TzORE
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrgl9uMZ5N
收回視線，秋語蘭陷入回憶的泥沼，與谷翊曾談過成親。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAILqMokp1
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8HHRkxVah
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。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BVuuE6rsM
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GMNuCEnfs
「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。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRUhz0uOuh
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfOMVh5emW
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。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7nD5X3ST0
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXASJcKn3Am
「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。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJj9hUmGWE
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCs3PYaO51
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。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqns3SO7IoF
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HYU3Oqpk6
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。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpr8Z3TX7S
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuMavkeRaz
「不許哭，成親不許哭。」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwu3eN2ZCK
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyuKScOJOL
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。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMJqDU4ygj
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnbnIQOUL8
「繼續，別誤了時辰。」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf2fPHOrxG
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWJDeXTLi1
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。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOcE1RZsSb
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmycMIDSSU
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。」
