「這條還裙子不錯,不過……」楊琇瑩托著下巴,認真地看著眼前的郭陶陶。254Please respect copyright.PENANAI7xNCWYEPi
「那便這條吧。」郭陶陶聳肩道。254Please respect copyright.PENANAXYRJKTErCL
「等等!」楊琇瑩側著頭,看了又看,「黑色不適合你,老氣。」254Please respect copyright.PENANAGN7jbsbj4T
「不如這條灰色紗裙可好?」老闆娘見兩位姑娘猶豫不決,又拿來一條禮裙。254Please respect copyright.PENANA7oxAZJzEQg
「不要,不要。」楊琇瑩著急地擺手,「灰色太寡了。」254Please respect copyright.PENANAfF2eAs1MnB
郭陶陶歎了一口氣,坐在店裡的沙發上說:「我這又不是選婚紗,只是選禮裙而已。」254Please respect copyright.PENANAHcKCPmcEjg
「可這是你十九歲生日會,多麼盛大的日子!馬虎不得!」楊琇瑩在她身旁坐下。254Please respect copyright.PENANATrel7vLNxF
254Please respect copyright.PENANA9UHpbCki2e
郭陶陶坐在沙發上,望著窗外發呆。圓形的「瑪麗禮服店」招牌從紅磚墻上向街邊延伸去,在寒風凜冽的冬日裡咿呀搖晃。白雪皚皚的街上人煙稀少,穿著棉長袍的老人站在寒風中瑟瑟發抖,他一手拿著扎滿糖葫蘆的木樁,一手搖著撥浪鼓,縷縷白氣從他的嘴裡冒出。披頭散髮的乞丐手持木棍破碗,顫顫巍巍地走到西裝筆挺的少年面前,卻被狠狠地踹在地上,雪花瞬間沾濕他的破衣衫……254Please respect copyright.PENANAg7XPaEaxNN
254Please respect copyright.PENANAcnQnyy6ibt
「陶陶,你在看什麼?」楊琇瑩問。254Please respect copyright.PENANAxney9x2wev
「沒有……」郭陶陶轉身背著窗戶,「那再試最後一條吧。」254Please respect copyright.PENANAeEYCEJU1Rb
「這就對了嘛!」楊琇瑩笑道。254Please respect copyright.PENANAiksXwJu0Qy
254Please respect copyright.PENANAspnyqOiYIN
待郭陶陶再扭頭看向窗外時,已不見那衣衫襤褸的乞丐,只餘賣冰糖葫蘆的老人繼續在雪花紛飛的街邊叫賣著。254Please respect copyright.PENANAXx2V3xebBn
254Please respect copyright.PENANAANsniioNtg
「姑娘,試一試這件吧!」老闆娘捧著一條藍色紗裙走來。254Please respect copyright.PENANAA6guHy7FoY
「陶陶,這顏色不錯!快去試試!」楊琇瑩激動地將沙發上的人拽起。254Please respect copyright.PENANAb1VsuGDemy
254Please respect copyright.PENANACrIMz2PYXk
郭陶陶接過老闆娘手中的藍禮裙走進更衣室,不一會兒,她又換上自己的衣服,捧著藍色禮裙走出更衣室。楊琇瑩以為她不想再試衣服了,連忙走上前安慰她,郭陶陶卻笑著說衣裙好看,等生日會那日再穿給她看。楊琇瑩無奈地刮了刮她的鼻子,拉著她走上瑪麗禮服店二樓,又挑起鞋子來。254Please respect copyright.PENANAKO7bpQHX5R
254Please respect copyright.PENANAjHkLQPiIDD
「這雙怎麼樣?」楊琇瑩拿起一雙黑色高跟鞋。254Please respect copyright.PENANAMFqtcKIUTe
郭陶陶搖頭拒絕:「裙子是深藍色,若鞋子再配深色,會顯得沉鬱。」254Please respect copyright.PENANA0uIWPuF7aQ
「那這雙呢?」楊琇瑩又拿起一雙白色尖頭高跟鞋。254Please respect copyright.PENANA075qnvRLpM
「白色太搶眼了,」郭陶陶說完,拿起一雙銀灰碎鑽一字高跟涼鞋,「這雙呢?」254Please respect copyright.PENANAUJgV6w4tqT
楊琇瑩睜著大眼睛,連連點頭:「好看!不虧是北平城最時尚的郭小姐,這雙真真適合!」254Please respect copyright.PENANAMgENtVMKuo
「那當然,我可是郭陶陶!」郭陶陶眨眼道。254Please respect copyright.PENANAUOJzQSUCcP
254Please respect copyright.PENANAjPcCBDJkzd
忙活了一早上,兩姐妹可算是選好生日會要穿的禮服了。剛走出瑪麗禮服店,郭陶陶便把手中兩袋衣物都套在楊琇瑩手上,連忙跑到賣冰糖葫蘆的老頭跟前。254Please respect copyright.PENANApy83UOuvHH
254Please respect copyright.PENANALBuSELHJ6t
「老伯,我想要一串冰糖葫蘆。」郭陶陶邊說邊從皮包裡找錢。254Please respect copyright.PENANAwoRcMBZABY
「哎喲,姑奶奶,你等等我……」楊琇瑩提著兩大袋衣物追了上來。254Please respect copyright.PENANA7hrnBjlhuS
「還是兩串吧!」郭陶陶朝老人笑了笑。254Please respect copyright.PENANAsi0IWdAJYt
「好嘞,姑娘,給你兩串糖葫蘆!」老人遞給郭陶陶兩串冰糖葫蘆。254Please respect copyright.PENANAiVBQrvt9pi
「謝謝。」郭陶陶接過糖葫蘆,把一張銀票塞在老人長滿老繭的手裡,然後拽著楊琇瑩往十字路口跑去。254Please respect copyright.PENANAJwlAJkCD3L
「姑娘!傻姑娘,給太多了!」老人追上前,白煙從他嘴裡冒出。254Please respect copyright.PENANAEUPDZMk97x
254Please respect copyright.PENANAhSgdWNwrKa
郭陶陶拉開楊府的車門,把楊琇瑩和兩袋衣物扔進車里,自己也連忙坐進車內。254Please respect copyright.PENANAPIJRhspU4a
254Please respect copyright.PENANAR70LHT1oks
「快走!去菀青軒。」郭陶陶氣喘吁吁地對司機說。254Please respect copyright.PENANAtzWJ3bZB4n
「郭陶陶,你……」楊琇瑩跑得上氣不接下氣。254Please respect copyright.PENANAaDwXpFIWBT
「是。」司機點點頭。254Please respect copyright.PENANAr7235kH5dv
254Please respect copyright.PENANArMbJF8rBUc
郭陶陶趴在座位上往後瞧,見老人沒有追上才放心地坐下。254Please respect copyright.PENANAXbBfLS7zNu
254Please respect copyright.PENANAXm1CiD67El
「你啊,總是這樣,老好人。」254Please respect copyright.PENANA9LeeE50WCs
「亂世之下,大家的日子都不好過,就只能多關顧他們了。」254Please respect copyright.PENANAaoAJYp9rjx
「這亂世就快結束了,郭小姐你就安心吧!」254Please respect copyright.PENANA1HkzlyMv4M
「也是,父親和哥哥不過幾日就能回北平了!」254Please respect copyright.PENANAqxImrczUfT
「我猜,他們分明就是回來監視你有沒有好好舉辦生日會的!不然怎麼剛好在你生日前幾天回來?」254Please respect copyright.PENANAiwnkLBTwrZ
「唉,看來這次生日會,免不了有些風浪了。」254Please respect copyright.PENANAEvDlA3rGfU
254Please respect copyright.PENANAXdQC0upXK0
楊府的車在十字街口停下,郭陶陶拿著皮包和兩串糖葫蘆走下車,楊琇瑩還沒來得及下車,便被她關在車上。254Please respect copyright.PENANA4EE1DtrVT7
254Please respect copyright.PENANAFa0DTmRUOh
走過兩個街口,郭陶陶來到菀青軒,她在茶樓門前深吸一口氣,然後往裡走去。254Please respect copyright.PENANARkpy3uVRiT
254Please respect copyright.PENANAGQ7iQ26K9O
「郭姑娘是來聽……找秦先生的吧?」站在茶館門口的小二問。254Please respect copyright.PENANAYxZvlujKnt
郭陶陶舉著兩串糖葫蘆,笑著點頭。254Please respect copyright.PENANAY4SSG4Nvnn
「秦先生剛唱說完場相聲,正在後台歇息。」小二笑著說。254Please respect copyright.PENANAEaLOGrWPwk
「謝謝。」郭陶陶向後台走去。254Please respect copyright.PENANA9wDjDcg058
254Please respect copyright.PENANAwlbayqH2rp
雖然並非第一次走上菀青軒的後台,這次也是有求於人才踏足這裡,可她總覺得心情和以往不一樣了。254Please respect copyright.PENANApc6X10CME2
254Please respect copyright.PENANAiP3i3vD7zh
「秦先生在嗎?」郭陶陶站在樓梯口,朝靜悄悄的後台輕聲喊了句。254Please respect copyright.PENANAe1CQeukWD4
「郭姑娘,怎麼了?」不知何時秦懿晟站在郭陶陶身後。254Please respect copyright.PENANA0JxfIDh6sf
「我……」郭陶陶嚇得往台上連退了幾步,漲紅了臉說,「我想請秦先生幫我一個忙。」254Please respect copyright.PENANAMqDZ4ao3fj
「怎麼了?」秦懿晟走上前。254Please respect copyright.PENANAgVTbebqIvp
「我……月尾是我的生日,屆時會舉行生日舞會,我想邀請先生出席。」郭陶陶抓緊皮包帶,緊張地說。254Please respect copyright.PENANATkJQBpWeMG
秦懿晟低眸笑道:「可是秦某不懂跳舞。」254Please respect copyright.PENANARPskXmgDSt
郭陶陶連忙搖頭擺手說道:「不不不,先生無需跳舞,替我擋走一個人就可以了。」254Please respect copyright.PENANAX9mQJ6D2Y6
秦懿晟想了想說:「可……秦某每日都有演出,怕是不得空。」254Please respect copyright.PENANApJNI5iE2Et
「好吧……」郭陶陶失望地低下頭。254Please respect copyright.PENANAbgECPlrce7
秦懿晟見她失望地鼓著腮,又說:「這樣吧,我下星期給姑娘答復。若得空,秦某必定出席。」254Please respect copyright.PENANAqojuck2wmS
「好!」郭陶陶開心地伸出尾指。254Please respect copyright.PENANAsTGIisLUiV
254Please respect copyright.PENANAWitAGy6qTd
不過在伸出手指的那瞬間,她便後悔了。254Please respect copyright.PENANAGjuQ7FOTGV
254Please respect copyright.PENANAR7tHNqRvkk
「好。」秦懿晟見她緩緩放下手指,連忙伸出右手勾住她的手指。254Please respect copyright.PENANA2i2rSpVwK1
254Please respect copyright.PENANArkiPDxoQnH
從前只有張美寧願意和她勾手做約定,其他人都覺得勾手約定既幼稚又愚蠢,她著實沒有想到秦懿晟居然願意陪她玩勾手約定的把戲。254Please respect copyright.PENANA5uXQARbBbN
254Please respect copyright.PENANAryUOQfje59
回過神的郭陶陶發現手上還拿了兩串糖葫蘆,便四處尋找許彧潔的身影。254Please respect copyright.PENANA9VJhYQi2nj
254Please respect copyright.PENANAMyakeKhpKR
「豆豆不在這。嫂子今日有些不舒服,在庭院裡休息,師哥也回去照顧她了。」秦懿晟說。254Please respect copyright.PENANAKhsuRvQXcY
「那這樣啊……」郭陶陶將手中的糖葫蘆遞給他,「就有勞秦先生幫我把糖葫蘆轉交給豆豆了。」254Please respect copyright.PENANAl4CVLESvA6
「好。」秦懿晟笑著接過兩串糖葫蘆。254Please respect copyright.PENANAfXKrbN3xtE
「對了,」郭陶陶從皮包裡拿出一張卡片,「這是生日會的邀請卡,我先給先生。」254Please respect copyright.PENANAm0arq7oEpU
「好。」秦懿晟又接過粉色的邀請卡。254Please respect copyright.PENANAxuH323FoTI
「琇瑩還在等我,那我先走了。」郭陶陶朝秦懿晟揮揮手,轉身走下後台。254Please respect copyright.PENANAU1Ry2g4TxF
254Please respect copyright.PENANAXEQX9WHSvL
秦懿晟望著她著急離去的背影,笑著搖搖頭。他將兩串糖葫蘆插在化妝鏡前的玻璃水杯裡,倚在化妝鏡前掀開邀請卡,只見標題寫著「郭陶陶十九歲生日舞會」。254Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9GEddkgrH
254Please respect copyright.PENANALhRrhGuxnd
「郭陶陶……郭,陶,陶……」他反復唸著「郭陶陶」三個字,心中隱隱不安。254Please respect copyright.PENANAz89RLgb2td
「浩,在想什麼呢?」許懿祥從後摟住師弟的肩膀。254Please respect copyright.PENANAQNhG3t6JiZ
「師哥,你覺不覺得『郭陶陶』三個字很熟悉……」他眉頭緊鎖。254Please respect copyright.PENANA1YB7gOuaZH
「郭陶陶……」許懿祥一拍腦門,「嗐,上次和你在報紙上見過那個名字。那個……聽說把《鎖麟囊》換成鋼琴彈的郭家千金。」254Please respect copyright.PENANAFGGyJAhMmg
他盯著手中的邀請卡,冷笑道:「你說,郭陶陶的父親是誰?」254Please respect copyright.PENANAASGzKnzGpf
「你最恨的陸軍上將……郭梟鴻。」許懿祥努力地回想幾個月前在報紙看見的八卦新聞。254Please respect copyright.PENANA54nRBZ9UVX
「呵……果然如此……」秦懿晟笑著搖頭。254Please respect copyright.PENANAIejyiKOV5E
「浩,你臉色怎麼這麼難看……你沒事吧?」許懿祥扶著他在梳妝台前坐下。254Please respect copyright.PENANAD8SM6jmFFW
「師哥,郭姑娘……原來郭姑娘是郭梟鴻之女,郭陶陶……」秦懿晟望著鏡中的自己冷笑。254Please respect copyright.PENANAeC67QN6Jio
「什麼……」許懿祥急忙搶過師弟手中的邀請卡,「這是郭姑娘給你的?」254Please respect copyright.PENANA5HkXfR1ZyF
254Please respect copyright.PENANAzUk9gEag4f
許懿祥見師弟面如死灰,急忙替郭陶陶說了許多好話,例如她是無辜的,又例如她人挺好的。秦懿晟緩緩閉上雙眼,他也在替她找許多不讓自己恨她的藉口,例如她對當年的事情一無所知,又例如她善良溫柔。254Please respect copyright.PENANAlUjwcYVVUM
254Please respect copyright.PENANADGfGtLscmB
但,當年的事他始終無法釋懷。254Please respect copyright.PENANAfSaKb4HGa9
254Please respect copyright.PENANAc7NxTlCSMF
秦懿晟將兩串郭梟鴻女兒買來的冰糖葫蘆遞給許懿祥,說想自己一個人靜一靜,於是許懿祥拿著糖葫蘆走下後台。254Please respect copyright.PENANAHEIB9EGYyK
254Please respect copyright.PENANAP3czIOYBXQ
澄黃的燈照著生鏽腐爛的人,塵封於心底的記憶又浮上眼前。254Please respect copyright.PENANAIcsZ0JddIR
254Please respect copyright.PENANA3f7wW1xosu
秦懿晟點了一根煙,深吸一口,枯萎凋殘的煙從口鼻飄出。慢慢地,緩緩地,徐徐地,飄向上空……254Please respect copyright.PENANAUfqSGvrw9A
254Please respect copyright.PENANAsVqfGW65nb
剛硬而響亮的槍鳴又在耳邊響起,那男童撕心裂肺的哭聲不斷在腦海裡迴盪,還有那句還未說出口的「好,我等你」已無故人傾聽。254Please respect copyright.PENANAdYhxE5UaQC
254Please respect copyright.PENANArZVaUMrTh5
「我兒,不許出聲!無論如何也不準出聲!」女人強忍淚水說。254Please respect copyright.PENANApGr0qnfZvy
「我兒,以後要乖乖聽哥哥的話,今生就此別過。」男人第一次在孩子面前流下淚水。254Please respect copyright.PENANACzqh8TLl2A
254Please respect copyright.PENANAzXbFuGg4Ts
「滋……」 秦懿晟將煙投進桌旁的茶杯裡。254Please respect copyright.PENANAtNpL3qMb1r
254Please respect copyright.PENANA70PyBlv5eh
看著煙被茶水淹滅,只餘一縷青煙飄散在空中,他笑了。254Please respect copyright.PENANAiLOOrtORfG
