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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7hXrzEEzy

「娘，你為何在這裡？」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgw5ZqbByu
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtYaTGm9vy
「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？」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8El3u576v
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YryWIhuhx
秋語蘭支支吾吾地一時半刻也組織不出一句完整的語句。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq1srIbSsV
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOe9jAWHAG1
「娘你別逼她。」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6Ljs4VpGH

「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。」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK05GMHVuqW
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekLlFidcQ6
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhpVnG5U30
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DmugSozSg
「我們根本還未好好認識彼此。」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPbxl7cOBg

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。」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9piMO92wU4
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqGjbMvP4H
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。」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRLS6p20lL
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZqWdde0v8
「有何不妥？雲軒無論哪項都無可挑剔。」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AeTcVpEcz
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdnkHxkWST
「但我不愛他。」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSvPhwvVKu

「成親看重的不是愛，傻孩子。」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xNYkC7wbD
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqKI7YxbMl
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。」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMEtcuDWuf
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbanmYYrFM
「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。」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYr7GV5OQk2
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUku974GkGr
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！」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswGmBwWLcN
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWOwTPSqKJ
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？」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlK2GZejEEI
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1Yqh8kDEt
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。」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ7x93E4L6
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlN3hddRqx
「下個星期嫁人，還掛念別人像話嗎？」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GdnEiK1oL
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWQcIBGBwP
秋國盛瞳孔收縮，瞪向招弟：「何時說好的？」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1lIFDbIZB

「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。」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlFBYRPUYD
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqSgWsaVWV
「也該他倆相處的空間。」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfJNMT4e3o

「我倆當初也是，還是走到這。」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisHV1tiagp
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHkEAA4nr5
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj0VH7HYY8

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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUseIy5i4t3
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJMQCMbepW
「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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zJNbRlTSX
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXetlH9BQR
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGO4AyQ4P3
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqSYtHvShS
「快！他們已經快到了。」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj86LIYfMKm
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiVXj6OkUE
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAzvYVKcHB
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9VR7JFYWC
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72XEhVy3cd
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRF0nHs1Zn
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAPG3ILnVD
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY2pzRVPdo
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHogb57otZ
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsCeGX2Mol
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGUAIRr7ys
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHrUK0r2kE
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvbGZgnPED
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vlx5KyefR
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWtX69KUqf
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp27fkDmFqh
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB78VHXP8g
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeY2rMtL5c
收回視線，秋語蘭陷入回憶的泥沼，與谷翊曾談過成親。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB6xEWDuCq
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpGRQ8b0ZK
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHVm0Q1ALp
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1ZCVwGCLS
「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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGZSeAZRgB
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmkCJLCAI3
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWCGOvicyG
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM4oryHbhK
「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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qaqJqmKtl
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwKs3IXrxc
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXT5EQ2YlO
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu975UJK8Vx
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnhDjvjvi7

「不許哭，成親不許哭。」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsefgaGL3q
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsbYFjqeox
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXTQqp1LkA
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatnsaJ0hN1
「繼續，別誤了時辰。」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0q8zzvkju

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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbQOiX3Ep2
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Vx61ifs8v
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。」
