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。190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGmONu02Gd

「伯母。」190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTC8OULhWQ

「娘，你為何在這裡？」190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89SeZODK94
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFOXyaJboR
「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？」190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOiVMKFMbn
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePWUyjbl7j
秋語蘭支支吾吾地一時半刻也組織不出一句完整的語句。190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTpXwF49Kq
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxf2yvyPpo
「娘你別逼她。」190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3QI62t4Hx

「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。」190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7q7Lzsm7P
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRNb1zIQOZ
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。190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNtm0hYJQi
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01dOg9icjK
「我們根本還未好好認識彼此。」190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCK16d3lxh

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。」190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsNYSuHceu
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFI08hsFPC
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。」190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLySBT4idD
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCocsEk71Pq
「有何不妥？雲軒無論哪項都無可挑剔。」190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXfYsfta9a
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWPEJqA6Md
「但我不愛他。」190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Tqk5eOZ2o

「成親看重的不是愛，傻孩子。」190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJxORJbDbh
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjIfedwBHD
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。」190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAAvSIjDEz
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtfElhWdCE
「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。」190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStxJpYTS7j
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPoAneMut3
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！」190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj76lm8nKg
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sUhpjY22E
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？」190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom3LMC6mt3
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvjArBnwjR
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。」190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza660PsplK
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR55UBj37N
「下個星期嫁人，還掛念別人像話嗎？」190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwiOXmCeF3
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypQg0eW08h
秋國盛瞳孔收縮，瞪向招弟：「何時說好的？」190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGAgTvDmfW
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z6u3ImwrV

「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。」190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EXLvYPR7b
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4XCTNYomS
「也該他倆相處的空間。」190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJAc5VTDYv

「我倆當初也是，還是走到這。」190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7qZgkpPkz
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRCYGoV2z2
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。190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTR5UFRWFu

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。190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhOpFCmqYy
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGZxXk4B0r
「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。190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6YBbyglGU
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2tuaPcv2G
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。190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtTFcVLA3g
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDAk6ZDVLr
「快！他們已經快到了。」190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9XzkHPJLr
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdSsFa38SY
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。190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZX7wXzpMt
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytkmV56XgI
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。190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DD7fs7sa8
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf5R7TAw79
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。190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNldOquCaMk
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8CjSCBjDp
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。190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrDkyFXk11
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAB9ElkqNL
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。190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wNsTXOgK9
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOPtHMUOt1
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。190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXj1aeUKaR
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQQNuDKLUT
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。190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBqq35ZqzU
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoL5vUWUq6
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。190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnccY69oxo
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMm8lvHjy8
收回視線，秋語蘭陷入回憶的泥沼，與谷翊曾談過成親。190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLR6EYasHJ
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVo9rp2YB6
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。190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4ap6AEmXW
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6T1oHkXzl
「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。190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2A9auDNYPl
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HD22FYSsG
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。190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb4GTJoHfn
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWna6qhj4hU
「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。190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusZP8CGOuR
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld8YYwTQEK
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。190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsW4VpE32O
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozPTwEOVcb
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。190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsAkHXLchQ
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrUVeRStcf
「不許哭，成親不許哭。」190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pcCdMk8Aw
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJGy3pWqT9
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。190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0OnU2EWoy
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHum8CtC0J
「繼續，別誤了時辰。」190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvxyfiuJik

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。190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9ModDzyvH
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1j8dfpDZr
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。」
