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。164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nmdPG2dBW
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMwcXCZkMf
「伯母。」164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RMAReE1sc
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHVdqiAOpx
「娘，你為何在這裡？」164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMcXESSweq
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyntpVW2hY
「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？」164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ux9Ku1sDl
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonWaJvBwsp
秋語蘭支支吾吾地一時半刻也組織不出一句完整的語句。164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK3XuzvTp4
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OGIxKU42U
「娘你別逼她。」164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOFcHWc8KX

「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。」164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDuEqBv6QR
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BkcRGTiqZ
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。164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiQx76ieAY
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAypGJzX4E
「我們根本還未好好認識彼此。」164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2MRMoVycR
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XmLZlwbz4
「成親後有大半輩子供你倆認識，我跟你爹當初也是如此。」164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4mIQupFqN
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYa26buaMs
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。」164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuGJ78fFwU
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68uOxLMT9T
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。」164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOpwYRnOiw
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnunRRYZVk2
「有何不妥？雲軒無論哪項都無可挑剔。」164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRfQdeqn7k
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiFtStiFXr
「但我不愛他。」164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XYlqCiaBf

「成親看重的不是愛，傻孩子。」164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQlnsp5rJs
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yZFie20HL
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。」164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0stHOIDQy
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfbFrdm9ld
「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。」164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3ZGAWTDPV
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wjV67owm8
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！」164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QKZNAokX5
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwAupdLosC
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？」164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6i79h6xzw
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpelqHrjY9
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。」164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcbxlLtBQC
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10XY6dzjAj
「下個星期嫁人，還掛念別人像話嗎？」164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTQ2TTxkzV
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K4cBS3BjV
秋國盛瞳孔收縮，瞪向招弟：「何時說好的？」164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8TINDY8gg
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncbo8T2HQG
「方才與青芳講定的。」164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW49SxWlO7L

「你真是…成親不可隨意決定。」164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfiZMsfuY2
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg85TAiPadl
「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。」164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcV1QaOf4Tu
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWVq5T0ndA
「也該他倆相處的空間。」164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcoDzfLbXh

「我倆當初也是，還是走到這。」164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJP4JlAre85
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0H3Pk8OzJR
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。164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfffH9OTTw

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。164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJY1UoOPLD
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpAP42ts6L
「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。164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVZ2BUTzOi
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUexZ2rOo4T
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。164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYIWBxkcTj
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiilhqcpkwj
「快！他們已經快到了。」164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dSgLim6Va
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhabXBj4RLI
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。164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu1E3a1cXL
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdmbxd3H4l
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。164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv1RB7LAHq
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWNXrbVLkQ
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。164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKTbu3luZA
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGNOdjQQSC
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。164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ6IwxV68k
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVldy9PfpLv
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。164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUAfwcq5hB
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gLN0Q68Y9
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。164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMHfyNGh9K
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm03RX0j8U3
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。164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CbXnmsShY
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKpELfd6pi
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。164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsymp4c0jLe
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeODvBmeCs
收回視線，秋語蘭陷入回憶的泥沼，與谷翊曾談過成親。164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUAEbHJc69
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEL1m0Id2v
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。164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZxNm55CrV
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHxGRPkBrW
「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。164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6di86WlG5l
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP05r9clKMd
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。164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz0nB2sojV
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFaGUtI8dB
「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。164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8UasYv7hU
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYjuq49uNP
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。164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW8XmaF3uR
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWD6WuBGNH
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。164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxIpw5Zpob
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuWdO8tgwO
「不許哭，成親不許哭。」164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjMbnxpjUp
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOv06XnyqJ
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。164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNYzHcZGoM
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡev4IQTg6XJ
「繼續，別誤了時辰。」164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORZNRUVziW
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW51vcASjkg
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。164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZhY5nTID5
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbhsBiLL3E
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。」
