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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNs5HU6k9z
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtrs2PDXCE
「伯母。」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsT19kfcxd
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw6Q8Qkjux
「娘，你為何在這裡？」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0EAGs1JTo
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGC3iK618u
「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？」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvFhN5KkGm
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi1EwkcEFP
秋語蘭支支吾吾地一時半刻也組織不出一句完整的語句。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5Y67zJVLI
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdyQC6gpgp
「娘你別逼她。」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGbRbXHdZc

「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。」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2Zmz7WnfD
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYaL57Yayu
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUxs90cW5i
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcVPZIRxGM
「我們根本還未好好認識彼此。」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOAMX9RFgG
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1x7YLsCsO
「成親後有大半輩子供你倆認識，我跟你爹當初也是如此。」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23dwTcp5uL
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkep3T4dxz3
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。」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87Iwg6Lz7T
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUBU2A8G72
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。」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqk9ADLnea
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQ8aXbUgb7
「有何不妥？雲軒無論哪項都無可挑剔。」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj88ww0Q52z
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyHZpa4aaJ
「但我不愛他。」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCUGOWh7JL

「成親看重的不是愛，傻孩子。」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h5zLncBoj
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQoXsLQFXT
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。」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhgY1ZgVmt
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGeUqkdu06
「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。」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlP3jJvlWhn
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP4toI6zcH
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！」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiRGoinLCb
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzLK8GZzTX
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？」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjylujsDNP
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZWcJ5zcZF
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。」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR24KI2Nyc
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd35IX688P
「下個星期嫁人，還掛念別人像話嗎？」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJv2I6SXPc
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RAo5Lq8yV
秋國盛瞳孔收縮，瞪向招弟：「何時說好的？」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszxPuYfd4w
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxkinqIiMn
「方才與青芳講定的。」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7zZaWQG8H

「你真是…成親不可隨意決定。」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEQq9jnCRl
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmthm6BTVbX
「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。」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDjj7uC9KK
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksYKkxEqDZ
「也該他倆相處的空間。」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoiCZKTsN6

「我倆當初也是，還是走到這。」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcavCePmp3
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpefyEKV45N
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqVrzjsvQd

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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4yGaRNZgK
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhNHj7b48y
「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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnEe1Klc23
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OLYbc3DiQ
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX96FzdQPsR
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RBygnFD59
「快！他們已經快到了。」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JSR9jTvVj
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWEHoCoSNJ
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvLbnivf1w
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHlCJUsgQx
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMkfu2VbQw
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGTQQugIIF
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7cHN3wZli
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKFwFpbI0v
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU3ccPxB9U
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIFKKsqyHG
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Flxaudeoj
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Zt4h78tuP
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vDLd6jw8e
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZfpJJLQo3
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡor1r8rk0eL
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2P4b41IbC
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P2CTxMzYK
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ncOS5U78g
收回視線，秋語蘭陷入回憶的泥沼，與谷翊曾談過成親。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6N2ws1yS5a
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJfPAboBsD
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzLhPr505c
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDRV9quXOT
「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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gCLR6UCM0
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNnndb30wn
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiIlS3OTIh
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW9tAlI4AL
「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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAYBvBy9T2
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOybwrEYZI
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYut7gD9xf
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt6XS0fWyj
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0T43oH2Q0
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4vv8Wmhm7
「不許哭，成親不許哭。」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq6HyfuyXI
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MJlgUptlZ
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD49CrlbzfV
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszVBk1uNwq
「繼續，別誤了時辰。」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucy9obqcZM
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaNpqTu7Jo
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aBVecMnUS
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZMY9aSfuz
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。」
