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。126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtXgVxtpij

「伯母。」126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnlnWhqD7D

「娘，你為何在這裡？」126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5fIuKzoko
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNesbMWfqk3
「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？」126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3KLompzCp
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEnvnjjbvc
秋語蘭支支吾吾地一時半刻也組織不出一句完整的語句。126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEKvPeRGd6
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6GHVTSwg5
「娘你別逼她。」126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlCGdTAAyk

「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。」126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CkB6h9svF
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvdkdRPYK3
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。126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIM5B5aNgI
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3Lv9E4hqU
「我們根本還未好好認識彼此。」126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDFVBT8nnm
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOZZXvEnSL
「成親後有大半輩子供你倆認識，我跟你爹當初也是如此。」126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlGyyxCbpX
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAtfXzMQfc
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。」126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xGhnbAQfI
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdavsabMMk
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。」126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpT5wqwaqd
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QStpcU3Hr
「有何不妥？雲軒無論哪項都無可挑剔。」126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ5mtxzzAO
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GjCIvHMiu
「但我不愛他。」126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oGTkPnSmU

「成親看重的不是愛，傻孩子。」126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShIt9dD2bV
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE01MTEnT6v
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。」126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurrcTetczg
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jPFIH4Tkz
「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。」126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDCiXtdRJ4
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTThYmonZ69
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！」126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRC0DxJFRtN
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzOBOwJWVR
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？」126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxx2G8Y3u6
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQbuGWJJCd
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。」126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw3lYMvd90
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL0itrrHT6
「下個星期嫁人，還掛念別人像話嗎？」126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMnDzg2atj
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCvrMel22o
秋國盛瞳孔收縮，瞪向招弟：「何時說好的？」126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWvmJ8RFQq
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZYMS96Wmq
「方才與青芳講定的。」126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzyK9V97A7

「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。」126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrECgMpBCOe
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Z6qBIFfGb
「也該他倆相處的空間。」126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jqot6DWqq

「我倆當初也是，還是走到這。」126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXXdnAcajX
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MUG6Fx3wz
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。126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1U7gIOORM

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。126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxV2XzT91X
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9TtGph1be
「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。126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79vSGGPqRe

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。126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZqe1TfvYp
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERDJRnkCKA
「快！他們已經快到了。」126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpxfSiyQty
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPlv4wRO6l
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。126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pP2p5GqWb
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtNqetZ05r
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。126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19Zx56Lcqp
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJi1maTxBi
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。126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBO85CdxZrr
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3z7WK16Lo
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。126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO99Ttgjrl
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4q6X3JuVfp
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。126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoGR2p1OW7
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9Njx50F9h
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。126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAJAX6u83R
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PcBU9kCWp
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。126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CZxENmovG
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgFwMswWL8
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。126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0j06cGSrT
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5A2GlPYto
收回視線，秋語蘭陷入回憶的泥沼，與谷翊曾談過成親。126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16rXADmVh0
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTTObWYBOi
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。126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQwQQ4DgB4
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebSCrlvMfE
「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。126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcdUnFmNI7
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF8giIjLtH
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。126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUgiaW5Flw
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFwp7iWpBX
「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。126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WIkLQ94bQ
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzaeLSteM2
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。126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhUvsF7KuK
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9nNphpk1R
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。126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZKUXqEREw
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKMjLglyDA
「不許哭，成親不許哭。」126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunT3VwEoSY
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvOyhKyiCK
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。126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKt6ZaAH6L3
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NX2nJh1xr
「繼續，別誤了時辰。」126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4T7k6t0ME

126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEBgE5PE7u
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。」
