冬末春初的傍晚還透著涼意，我拉緊肩上的斗篷，出了院子。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXICMftsz5G
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbWdNR1tzc
今日是除夕，鄧嬋幾天前便回了鄧家，臨行前還眼眶泛紅的拉著我和陰麗華的手，聽陰識說她的年紀也差不多了，可能過沒多久就要說親，應該是離文定之喜不遠了。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlT9ZnxC0t
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj1d98m6sT
指不定下次見面她便已是人婦。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIq4hZBSn9m
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1OwxgbehR
鄧嬋是喜歡陰識的，我和陰麗華都瞧的出來，可我不似她，巴望著鄧嬋給我們做大嫂，畢竟大嫂柳姬待我不薄。（後來我才想起她連我和陰識都不記得了，我們有大嫂這事兒她又怎麼可能記得呢？）34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvoEvylo5h
「妳說鄧………表姊可能快許人家了？」鄧嬋離開的那日晚上，陰麗華便賴在我房內不走「可是她不是喜歡大哥麼？」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEeVaMyIUH
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWhyR11CKB
「喜歡歸喜歡，別說大哥肯不肯納妾，鄧家又怎可能讓女兒給人家作妾？」我漫不經心的拾針在帛布上勾勒出一株嫩芽「她走前欲言又止，只怕就是要同我們說這個。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn3TSmNtCf
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdCKwiqZGL
「小昭，那妳呢？」陰麗華湊了上來。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAdsqaGLEB
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPy6aFrH2i
「我？什麼我？」擱下針，我笑了笑。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKr1Lx9JjDQ
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yjvdrE9h8
「妳會像表姊那樣認命麼？」陰麗華靠在我肩上「小昭，妳會願意嫁給一個妳不認識，甚至可能沒見過的人麼？」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7BKju8Ooq
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlsn9zkqMj
「我………」垂首，這種事豈是我能決定的？34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIzi4ctI6X
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVop9pQnm1M
「我不會的喔。」陰麗華輕聲道「我不會這樣的，我要嫁的人，必定是我相熟的。最重要的，是我愛他，他亦愛我的人。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAswfEjQw6
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWIBSSAglm
我詫異的望向她，隨即了然。她曾經見了劉秀一眼，便如此執著的想嫁予他為妻，又豈會甘願讓母親鄧姬又或陰識做主她的親事？34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkOv2G8sA7
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKw3Qaceqx
「如果可以，小昭亦想像姊姊一般。」我喃喃的啟唇「我亦想作主自個兒的親事。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsXQ7rzYzy
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTHxDFHnXm
「當真！？」陰麗華驚喜的拉住我的手「那我們說好啦，以後自己的親事，一定要自己作主。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxEji4tp0X
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJQt2tge3c
「拉勾。」我伸出小拇指勾住她的「說謊的是小豬。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXNFnrwCRH
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0xJ511ZnE
「對對，說謊的是小豬，小昭，不能說謊喔。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONX4EzTd6l
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubqzbUSM3A
眼前的陰麗華笑的如此開懷，故沒瞧見我眼底那淡淡的哀色。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RVfIknZIW
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkJFzVAPAD
我們真的能嗎？34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nFlu8qOM7
思及此，我苦笑，腳步略快的走過迴廊，卻瞥見一抹淡黃的身影自陰麗華的院子走出。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWK4R1iobN
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTXLoIQ6Tn
若我沒瞧錯，那抹身影應該是陰麗華不錯，可是她怎麼會出來？34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f4Kw8JZ3G
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw0V7xWULj
為了讓她多多休養，陰識可是下令讓她乖乖待在屋內啊。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Oh3uQBYjn
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ntS1bnY8I
柳眉一蹙，我加快了步伐。來到大院中，逐儺*正進行著，一名小少年領著一群年歲相仿的孩子跳著儺舞*。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFWlxEMTGj
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Rngd6ddS7
我的目光掃了四周一圈，果不其然在一旁的廊下，發現了陰麗華的身影。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBknFusnwD
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8PkDGpxWA
我心中微微嘆息，唉，她欲出房門，誰也攔不住，況且貼身服侍她的胭脂又是個軟柿子，只怕是陰麗華鬧著要出來，胭脂乖乖順從。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYH2D2LxWB
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HUi1nkkdW
「小姑。」一聲柔婉的呼喚。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3xQwU5fYJ
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrLPYdqSKG
我轉首，柳姬一襲淡青色的長裾，笑盈盈地站在我身後。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhTUNBPGGT
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMD71pPfuh
「大嫂。」輕聲一笑，我走至她身側「只怕這些日子大嫂要很忙了，明日便是元日了，有什麼需要儘管跟我說吧，不然妳若是過勞，大哥便要找我算帳了！」吐了吐舌。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRUaTJ24G1
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡro4IEhdQMT
「就妳淘氣！」柳姬好笑的點了點我的前額「能有什麼好忙的？前些年哪一年不是如此，妳還是多費點心思在女工和琴藝上吧！」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9Pda6PuHW
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrND3WaODsq
「那個方相*可是興兒？」我指了指場中那名領舞，身著玄黑色上衣，朱紅色下裳的少年，臉上還罩了一張猙獰的面具。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBXxIWy7tm
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLn15wRIfv
「是小叔不錯。」柳姬頷首「夫君說他應該可以勝任，且順道替麗華祈福。」她指向跑到陰麗華身前的陰興。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVju88sOzMN
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkUx2iwf4E
「我先去尋姊姊，告辭。」拱手一揖，我轉身朝陰麗華走去。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF7Fj8gDMw
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzwe8rN8dS
「……四公子是在給姑娘祈福呢，啊……」胭脂正嘰嘰喳喳的向陰麗華解釋著，見我來到，嚇得一縮「三…三姑娘。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKz2ZEsKLZ
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBUPU2INJb
「妳也曉得怕？哥哥怎麼吩咐的都忘了？」柳眉一豎，我喝道。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjMSo4KY7E
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yPxesChJT
「小昭！」我從沒在陰麗華眼前斥責過胭脂，她一驚，拉住我「不是胭脂的錯，是我硬要出來的。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavrRrTEJuD
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedfOlcCUer
「姊姊，莫怪小昭責了胭脂。」我無奈地嘆息「妳的身子如今尚未完全康復，她身為奴婢，自不可由著主子胡來，今日她遇到我，我也就斥責個幾句，若是遇著大哥，可就不是幾句這麼簡單。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroSuImHXCE
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4llbg2gOA
「二姑娘饒命，胭脂不敢再犯。」胭脂嚇得一抖，跪倒在地。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEbN1k0GAO
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmActCUO1V
「無事，起來吧，切莫再犯。若有下次，連這次一併同妳算。」我擺了擺手。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDoIIRlKYm
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW08ylcPelq
陰麗華神色有些黯然，有些困惑，彷彿不解我為何如此。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6I4ghYs2lz
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoEa3Xyzqr
我多年前也如她這般，可是，自從十歲那年陰識從我的貼身侍婢的房內搜出不少我的飾物，我就知道，對待丫環，不是仁慈和善就好，少不得一番威嚇的。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeFsIrLF01
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdopk0NpEHE
陰麗華勉強撐起一抹笑，同我告辭後便回房了。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5dmOU1h3A
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LHzB1OmIQ
「她總會懂得。」陰興的嗓音在我身後響起。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg27fVz13qa
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVMMAE3SBK
我瞥了他一眼，他已把方才跳儺舞的衣衫換下，此時一身藍裳襯的他更加儒雅斯文。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuC41XUnnv
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz21sfymDym
「但願吧。」我苦笑「前些日子我讓廚房做了些梅花糕，你來取些回去吧。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH9mu4X37u
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqh0XS43fU
臨走前，我望了一眼大院中央的那火光，火苗在風中搖曳，好似一朵嬌豔的牡丹。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VcPfP4NGL
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPnyfdgNnP
搖了搖首，我快步離去。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvkUC0Gsdd
