鋼琴詩人 - 第十四章‧夏日的婚禮(中)

　　離開教堂的途中，同有川忍不住好奇問蕭邦，李斯特到底對他說了什麼。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxUZ6aGQWP
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9Cekc4JrQ
　　想起李斯特的話，他又露出相同的笑容，嘴上卻道：「弗朗茨說得對，女人果然是好奇的動物。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfyw6kFD2O
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRMWMVumur
　　「是又如何？」她不可否置地聳了聳肩。「那你打算告訴我嗎？」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBuiKL71mQ
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVAzsq0umw
　　「不打算。」他的微笑更深了。「至少，現在不打算。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xxAS8Lfpo
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0hZyyEcQH
　　「哦？好吧！」她失望一嘆，自討沒趣倒入舒軟的座椅。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYUgy3Crag
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L2gN4DDeG
　　「別這樣。許多東西，它的吸引力不正是來自於『好奇心』嗎？」他淡淡地說道。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG6TnS0U0U
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcCMybTbnr
　　「這麼說也沒錯。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAIVQd1wzP
　　71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm01CHuMrpv
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYDaTfMbMm
　　對於「盛裝打扮」，同有川實在半點概念都沒有。蕭邦看穿她的心思，於是他沒有讓馬車伕送他們回公寓，反而向德爵夫婦家中轉去。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMaz0Qhojd
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULCMt0UwIU
　　他們抵達時，德爵女士正準備中午的餐點，一見到兩人，立即熱情迎接上去，抱著同有川興奮道：「小甜心，妳的氣色看上去極佳！」又對蕭邦問道：「是什麼風把你們吹來？」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENYFbqHbGe
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF5pCQES1e
　　他笑著解釋：「晚上的結婚宴會。我想，有川需要妳的幫忙。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCYtzFw63A
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOUrHS5cxm
　　「哦？是的！是的！晚上的宴會──我與我丈夫也會出席。」德爵女士點點頭，邀請道：「和我們一起進餐吧，想必你們都餓了。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtztxoQ9kcl
　　71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o1Qibcmq6
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiShdfrBgb
　　餐桌上是同有川熟悉的食物，她甚至未到餐桌，一聞味道就知道午餐又是白麵包與肉湯了。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceZYBuCDEX
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6OX3JPPwb
　　「近來過得好嗎？」德爵女士關心問。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtgTtuPMCV
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCezcqHK799
　　她點首。「是，弗雷德里克待我極好。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkqFFiT52B
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrQ12z8vlE
　　「是嗎……那就好。」德爵女士聽到滿意的答案，於是不再多問，低下頭喝一口肉湯。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMjp1VIv3F
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjaacIhNAA
　　這時，一直沒出現的德爵先生緩緩走下樓，見到蕭邦兩人，面色沒有太過的變化，僅僅經過蕭邦時拍拍他的肩，簡略說：「很高興見到你們。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡze58vjRao9
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1y6Fvzpfg
　　他坐上男主人的位置，默不吭聲喝起肉湯。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHggmVtLqa
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CTw2dqPBc
　　「你們該嚐嚐我手工做的白起司。」德爵女士突然放下啃了一半的麵包，到木櫃取出用薄紙包裹起來的起司塊。「很新鮮。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe87y8lwe4r
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoP8PC96LG8
　　白起司香味飄浮於空氣中，同有川深吸一口氣，不由得發出讚嘆。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd2SlrlAId
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X0NYe2IhK
　　見狀，德爵女士笑而不語，切下一小塊起司，分入他們的盤子中。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7TemlfZ33
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLv4mezwBa
　　起司有些發軟，同有川趕緊用湯匙掘一小口含入嘴裡。剛入口，起司就在她口中溶化，瞬間，香濃的牛奶味填滿她的嘴，讓她忍不住把剩餘的起司再送入口中。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxIIHqJPD0
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC1T07RvaD
　　「這是我吃過最好吃的起司。」她由衷道。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoNb45Xu6h
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGHmH7YjQl
　　「是嗎！」德爵女士高興瞇起眼，視線卻瞄上德爵先生。「可惜我丈夫不太欣賞我製作的起司。弗雷德里克，你也嚐嚐。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7OSdfaqZh
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrM6yimiUP
　　蕭邦笑著拒絕德爵女士的好意。「妳忘了？我不吃起司的。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEJ6Ix7cM5
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03FilfX5jD
　　「哎！人上了年紀，記性也變差了。」德爵女士歉然伸出湯匙挖起蕭邦盤上的起司塊，送入自己口中。「說到起司，」她轉向同有川。「我想起儲藏櫃裡頭有一件起司色的禮服，等會兒妳去試試看。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmTj42fADM
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFiRi8fbPq
　　「好的。」她微笑。碗裡的湯快見底，她舀起最後一口的肉湯送入口中，轉頭對蕭邦提議：「午飯結束之後去休息一會兒吧？」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdJs2A8Yku
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpU1WyXARI
　　蕭邦欣然同意，輕輕用紙巾拭了拭嘴，沒等他開口，德爵女士連忙主動道：「若要休息，可以上閣樓的房間。有川搬離後就空著。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLE0rqbniP
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEF29Enar7E
　　「我知道了。」他在同有川的額上輕輕落下一吻，上樓時德爵女士道︰「那麼，有川就交給妳了。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1yVVS9rTy
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzBbSypVOQ
　　他離開餐桌後，久久未語的德爵先生抬起頭，盯著蕭邦踏過的樓梯口良久，才道：「這並非我在以往認識的弗雷德里克。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBAcuLZnon
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdFkpP0MjL
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk4SsMo638
　　飯後，同有川在一旁與德爵女士隨意地閒聊。她原本想幫忙收拾餐盤及剩餘的食物，卻給德爵女士以「習慣自己來」的理由給拒絕了。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDoKhChhWi
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIo79VHU4Q
　　「與弗雷德里克住還習慣嗎？」德爵女士擦著桌子。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWidhCRbuh
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡun0gv72JiQ
　　「是。」她露出笑容。「一年來，我過得很好。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzz6OIxmbu
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpg6BTYZxO
　　「是嗎？這樣我就安心了。不過，倘若妳受了什麼委屈，隨時可以回來，我與我丈夫會一直在這裡。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYopDJhOc1
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcSTJEtKNd
　　「一定！」她拿過毛巾，替德爵女士擦乾濕淋淋的雙手。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPBGMqNvzZ
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX14JTzyyj
　　等她整理完廚房，已經是三十分鐘後的事情。德爵女士望了望窗外漸暗的天空。「我想，該是時間去準備了。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbfAPBPztB
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0UdbtdcUQ
　　她和同有川上二樓，翻出她所說的那件起司色露肩禮服，在同有川身上比對一番，鼓勵道：「試試看。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjKX3YibVB
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaAJ1hBeag
　　同有川當著她的面換上禮服。乳白色的禮服緊緊貼在她玲瓏有緻的身軀，袖子鬆垮垮落上手臂，裙襬有些長，拖在地上。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwovvo5gqma
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ICkaQSPwx
　　德爵女士滿意打量她。「我就知道！這件裙子非常適合妳！送給妳吧！反正，我留著也沒用處。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCpbsD9CoP
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv47hQvkxMY
　　同有川受寵若驚向她道謝，心中卻感到奇怪，環住手臂，小心翼翼地問：「夫人，恕我冒昧。請問，從過去到現在，妳借我的衣裳，都是德爵夫人的嗎？」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vPnCylr4g
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8kstasyd0
　　沒想到，這個問題讓德爵女士怔在原地，低下頭，揉住衣襬，面上露出掙扎，遲遲不語，不知道該如何回答。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3MZ0817ni
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18VGwkmKhy
　　同有川沒有料想到她會是這般反應，趕緊道：「很抱歉！我想是我多想了。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXhpvCpS9M
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghcMahxnxt
　　德爵女士鬆開緊握住衣襬的手指，深吸一口氣。「不需道歉，沒什麼。這些衣服，是我女兒的衣服──」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HofmSYfTQ
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO7kEP6D55
　　「妳女兒？」換同有川愣怔了。「那麼她……」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4mbqz8t8A
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9ybLFId0k
　　「是的，妳從來沒有見過她。不過，還記得別莊裡頭的照片嗎？那就是她。」德爵女士緩緩道：「現在，她應該已經二十三歲了。事過五年，我依然記得她與我丈夫大吵一架，氣得和她的情人離開的那一日──」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjzQPTX5bC
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8ewrtvYvo
　　德爵女士的女兒喚瑪莉亞，沈魚落雁的她曾經是許多王公貴族青睞的對象。沒料到，十八歲那一年，瑪莉亞卻在暗地與一名窮畫家來往。德爵夫婦得知這件事，想盡辦法想勸瑪莉亞離開那名沒有前途的畫家。德爵先生更將瑪莉亞關在家中，杜絕她見情人的機會。德爵女士見心愛的女兒每天以淚洗面，自然是於心不忍，但是為了她的未來，也只能鐵下心，當作沒看到。有一日，德爵先生發現瑪莉亞偷偷跑出家門與畫家在暗巷中約會。他抓著瑪莉亞帶她回家。但是，一回到家，瑪莉亞立即衝回房間，帶一些錢，想再去找那名畫家。德爵先生逮住她，對她大吼一番。一氣之下，瑪莉亞用力掙脫德爵先生，衝出家門。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZBIWjp64Y
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF8SPjRpEa
　　這是德爵夫婦最後一次見到她，接下來的幾年，瑪莉亞與那名畫家毫無音訊。對於德爵女士來說，失去瑪莉亞是她永遠的傷痛。這件事情也是德爵家的恥辱，德爵先生極不願意任何人提起此事。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX6LEuDVD9
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMeeSJBM7p
　　「我感到很抱歉。」同有川上前摟住德爵女士的肩頭，語氣滿是歉意。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DalQAacK4
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2q1N6ICQL
　　德爵女士撫上她的頭，順著長髮摸下。「不必感到抱歉。有川，妳是好女孩，就像我第二個女兒。」她理理情緒，再度露出微笑。「走吧，我替妳梳頭髮。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxVLSfxcXe
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3F5p9kaJw
　　她替同有川編了簡易又漂亮的辮子，鋪在光滑的肩頭上。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTEf6mBExY
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDrq94jNcI
　　「有川，妳很美。」德爵女士若有所思地說：「弗雷德里克是幸運的。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWJ0Tk2oGt
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdB4nw5Og0
　　「是嗎。」同有川摸摸新髮型。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcHX9bOTeO
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQz9vWZrBd
　　德爵女士點點頭。「因為有妳，我可以感覺到弗雷德里克的改變。他得到他一直缺乏的東西－－快樂。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjLmWg6Sy1
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYZbCTYs6S
　　同有川微微一笑。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI0E2Nausp
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHul3A7oEra
　　「倘若，妳能一直待在弗雷德里克的身邊就好了。」說完，德爵女士嘆一聲，轉過身打理起她自己。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4wr09Unfn
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5YLlhJLnL
　　她的話卻讓同有川的笑容一瞬間凝固在臉上，一動也不動地望著鏡中不屬於十九世紀的臉龐。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pmcNMfC5M
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bCub2sOla
　　一直待在弗雷德里克身邊？71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SD9QLczfA
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNWpLp7RYF
　　她在心中苦澀的笑出。她何嘗不想？71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOaZzrgLUM
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS8OuPx7mm
　　但是，她能嗎？71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQnsDg8MMW
　　71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmnVlsXFf0
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgZUUB18Rq
　　兩人梳理完畢之時，天已暗下。德爵女士對同有川說：「我得替我丈夫打領帶，妳去喚醒弗雷德里克，好嗎？」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnp6dMgIC93
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKczBVTDuZ
　　同有川二話不說走上閣樓，輕輕敲敲木門。「弗雷德里克？」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUsaohedH9
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kHrZg0Nlz
　　過一陣，卻沒聽見蕭邦回應，她索性悄悄推門而入，見到他閉著眼，靜靜躺在白色床單上，或許是做了好夢，嘴角帶著淺淺的彎勾。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLLqq2kaKJ
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NsZUxxynd
　　「弗雷德里克……」她坐上床沿，手指撫上他光潔的額，跟著他淡淡笑起來。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHimHIBWoEX
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu221gdBg8x
　　「嗯……」蕭邦在睡夢動了動身子，伸出右手把她的手拉到胸前，十隻手指交扣起來。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjujzgaa5a
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkWAGim79x
　　「醒了？」同有川吻上他的額。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0hNAfcCKO
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GgAtMUMQm
　　「今晚妳好美。」他睜開雙眼，交扣的右手握得更實，一個翻身坐起來。「我該去準備了。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9UyPJ09iw
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u208Cicw7
　　她噗哧一笑，動手撥撥蕭邦凌亂的棕髮，跪上他身後。「我替你梳頭。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKrVIROzI6
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpGfIHdJTW
　　剛醒的蕭邦再度閉上眼，安靜地微笑。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3zKtEPMBw
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQ3zJ2KOJ7
　　「弗雷德里克，你很開心嗎？」她忍不住問。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKABdZHEn9
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsW4ZZwwQF9
　　「是，我在享受妳替我服務。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8BWdce1yg
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVDQCUbFWC
　　她一嘟嘴，摟上他的頸子，故意淘氣道：「還沒嫁給你，就已經視為理所當然啦？」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZyNZnARIH
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcbb1HGkTN
　　「我只是珍惜著和妳相處的每一寸時光。」他的聲音還是靜靜地。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2HNOh61f1
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2n8dhyUym
　　聞語，她垂下眼，靠上蕭邦的肩，久久沉默不語。最後，才道：「弗雷德里克，我替你整理一下。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMrZyOrJoi
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF2opmEiAL
　　她到蕭邦面前，雙手摸上他的衣領，向外把領子翻了開來，又替他順順睡皺的襯衣。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMxJrd5juV
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAozoDyEHN
　　「我想，來接載的馬車已經抵達了。」她透過閣樓的大玻璃窗，望入黑夜之中。一年半前，她也是透過這扇窗看巴黎，帶著迷惘與不安；一年半後，同樣的景色，她仍對未來感到迷惑。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsxpOxhW14
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloKst0Wuxk
　　「下樓吧，德爵夫人的性子總是很急的。」易感的他看見她眼中的惘然，於是牢牢牽起她的手，帶她步出閣樓。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuAcSSUvUA
