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。212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaz8BKZjbn
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dwQH7LXKP
「伯母。」212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSA60twyfJn
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdf0XvNu9Ep
「娘，你為何在這裡？」212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWuAvP67oR
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUE3B6O451
「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？」212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKnsz7A6bC
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU7N6v7Bvs
秋語蘭支支吾吾地一時半刻也組織不出一句完整的語句。212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb4WpSIkDj
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtfKJa30ps
「娘你別逼她。」212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ioCWf1Kc4

「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。」212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrohlYVFW1z
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx9Cp7FvcM
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。212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAcEU176UK
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSy6TdbY9M
「我們根本還未好好認識彼此。」212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO6d8jFBNK
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUcjqMfM7n
「成親後有大半輩子供你倆認識，我跟你爹當初也是如此。」212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUoEcGTOJw
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqpPt9ptfk
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。」212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9bvLcfpcZ
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUEur7ur6e
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。」212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2gdA9D0QU
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ccy4qPGTm
「有何不妥？雲軒無論哪項都無可挑剔。」212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlvRH5RVXv
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrLPKzXpog
「但我不愛他。」212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSjIyyuFpR

「成親看重的不是愛，傻孩子。」212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQlzYisEb0
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS1nr6bnR3
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。」212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxk0YQPOgw
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJWhp55pdO
「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。」212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXgrd7bzvp
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KMzOiOoTg
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！」212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMDDOiVnkB
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ga5EeAfx0
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？」212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7fAJCNqOz
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EnfyRIBO1
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。」212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9TzOMnQ6Y
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjovvf2tp3N
「下個星期嫁人，還掛念別人像話嗎？」212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSk1XhFwbc
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLgRmrGtTN
秋國盛瞳孔收縮，瞪向招弟：「何時說好的？」212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQaCdu1vqq
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT94AP2R8l
「方才與青芳講定的。」212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaEp9RsTZd

「你真是…成親不可隨意決定。」212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPL7KQVgBc
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32kTaADWNs
「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。」212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzOcAlLpqE
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAsBMf6u0F
「也該他倆相處的空間。」212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWNyVheAfW

「我倆當初也是，還是走到這。」212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tRsGxawN5
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxSYG50SN9
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。212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLNt8wFJc9
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjhnl0jyxA

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。212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTegpmuIP69
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOngwDRzva
「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。212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR4aFP57u1
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyzoinYQJV
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。212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgVjwVQvEM
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjywL0f5Lg
「快！他們已經快到了。」212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF8KfyjoYc
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylYm6yRWDe
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。212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWWEP1jcU8
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8S2nqURHm
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。212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI3dq7DcCx
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QLxukWwDo
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。212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX3XmBTiVr
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqh3zYSGNe
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。212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7PytK1Bxe
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOt4EhSAgf
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。212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCzlbxVjh7
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqdqSEum77
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。212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P0t7c0M3F
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV2VOIxM1N
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。212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoycNxZCJ0T
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VRJqSc8gg
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。212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2w7LAYZIx
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡej7yTE76qm
收回視線，秋語蘭陷入回憶的泥沼，與谷翊曾談過成親。212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3ilx6GrZv
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJpNKIzuKK
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。212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfo6FhHWDE
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAdCfaT5sj
「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。212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWT654Pcw1
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi49zQD4Lw
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。212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnzLgtR66J
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FvQZuLnKv
「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。212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4rvBQ3v53
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgkESU6N4j
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。212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53pAKnjUoe
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkw8B6ZwgU7
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。212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN8QBqp0Jx
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZEaTAuNDM
「不許哭，成親不許哭。」212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BWRkvTClj
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPb22C5XAv
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。212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aSCQ9FcBJ
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOLe283h39
「繼續，別誤了時辰。」212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHHQovWTj1
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFxHl51jIC
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。212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5np5P6BAqz
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG2BQJkuSR
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。」
