男人冷漠的身影從車裡下來,純白的襯衫和黑色的褲子此刻顯得格外冷硬。251Please respect copyright.PENANATfOIbk4diD
251Please respect copyright.PENANADlgOzUNnKu
「乖兒子!」婦人上前迎接,一臉高興,「我可終於盼到你回來了。」251Please respect copyright.PENANAve5JYNZO0p
251Please respect copyright.PENANA7QDFHXDRkg
他冷著一張臉,微微頷首示意。251Please respect copyright.PENANATLyyFt89At
251Please respect copyright.PENANAHIZdqcHG8r
婦人朝後頭站在車旁另一個略胖的男人親切地說,「蔡先生也一起進來吧!這大除夕的,就不要自己一個吃飯了。」251Please respect copyright.PENANAmmgqr2Xhv1
251Please respect copyright.PENANAPcaABYr2Xd
「不用不用!李夫人您太客氣了。」男人乾笑著擺手,「我待會兒就開車回老家,後天再回來接阿凡。」251Please respect copyright.PENANAFmKhpYdC1I
251Please respect copyright.PENANA2h8EmI4ByG
「這樣。」婦人一臉可惜,但沒挽留,「那好,預祝你新年快樂啊!路上小心!」251Please respect copyright.PENANA0Wx4cBo7L7
251Please respect copyright.PENANAM0Ftn0VWWo
「謝謝李夫人!你們也是!」男人趕忙告別,「阿凡我先走了,後天再見!」251Please respect copyright.PENANA1hh7gIBsuT
251Please respect copyright.PENANAUW7XKX63OB
然後閃身躲進車裡。251Please respect copyright.PENANAWMczsY40Gd
251Please respect copyright.PENANA3GK511zB5S
冷淡的男人無甚表情,轉身走進屋裡,婦人也趕快跟上。251Please respect copyright.PENANAsK96lFC8vq
251Please respect copyright.PENANA3YElzJaQUY
兩人經過客廳,往飯廳走時,婦人小心翼翼地問,「那個⋯⋯小林沒跟你一起回來嗎?」251Please respect copyright.PENANANdcaeTPaW5
251Please respect copyright.PENANAls1KdRIwEn
「回自己家了。」251Please respect copyright.PENANArWgHB8oRLP
251Please respect copyright.PENANAZJwwaAaEfv
「啊⋯⋯這樣。」婦人放鬆了點神情,「待會兒你爸有件事跟你商量⋯⋯不是甚麼大事,就是⋯⋯反正你先聽聽,別太緊張,也別跟你爸慪氣。」251Please respect copyright.PENANAcaOfLkSz1w
251Please respect copyright.PENANAv4cSYfFpzb
他沒有答話。251Please respect copyright.PENANA5ETkzh9hzF
251Please respect copyright.PENANAIO1ruLMIxg
飯廳裡另一個中年男人已經就坐,神情嚴肅。251Please respect copyright.PENANAmegCKx1jr2
251Please respect copyright.PENANA9DHheP5JPW
男人淡漠地頷首打招呼。251Please respect copyright.PENANAofuwICBfNn
251Please respect copyright.PENANAMrSCAtj638
「嗯。」中年男人沉著臉應了一聲,「坐吧。」251Please respect copyright.PENANARYaGDyhcdk
251Please respect copyright.PENANAcIEnyHJA6F
傭人把菜都上齊後退了出去,三人默然開動,餐桌上只剩零星碗筷碰撞的聲音。251Please respect copyright.PENANANIFmnTqxTG
251Please respect copyright.PENANA76UUKzagJT
吃了一半,中年男人放下了筷子,向著年輕男人說,「給你跟林家的外孫女安排了見面,記得把時間空下。」251Please respect copyright.PENANApsMIFE0lfI
251Please respect copyright.PENANASHG9rf2dUQ
年輕男人看了自家母親一眼,想到她剛才的囑咐,壓下想說的話,隨意嗯了一聲。251Please respect copyright.PENANAIukBojPjCT
251Please respect copyright.PENANAXZwLR265IT
「打算甚麼時候回去西班牙?」251Please respect copyright.PENANAq2KfiV2bOy
251Please respect copyright.PENANAXdOektGhCS
年輕男人邊吃邊冷淡地說,「沒有計畫。」251Please respect copyright.PENANAkW8hrEnscB
251Please respect copyright.PENANAb4BtQKbCWU
中年男人眉頭深鎖,「甚麼?」251Please respect copyright.PENANAY8aU6Ep3OL
251Please respect copyright.PENANAiHT5FqIK01
「我會繼續留在國內踢足球。」251Please respect copyright.PENANAwDFcAj248u
251Please respect copyright.PENANAkWicPgFYtf
「你是說這個賽季之後,你還要繼續留在新鳴?」251Please respect copyright.PENANAM0NKrBiQVR
251Please respect copyright.PENANA3smE7gZE2R
「對。」251Please respect copyright.PENANAU2yhkDhk3i
251Please respect copyright.PENANAU5m68Toqcb
「所以,」中年男人的語氣都變了,「你要繼續踢乙級?」251Please respect copyright.PENANALvYen2hIn0
251Please respect copyright.PENANA0knAHanJiy
「贏了冠軍,就會去A隊踢甲級。」251Please respect copyright.PENANAp7JiohFM67
251Please respect copyright.PENANAbMoq0AsXVw
「現在問題是這個嗎?」中年男人厲聲說道,「這裡的A隊跟西班牙的A隊能一樣嗎!你是不是燒壞了腦子!」251Please respect copyright.PENANA1G7DjjiTPd
251Please respect copyright.PENANAGGmd41yg3z
「老公別激動⋯⋯我們說好跟孩子心平氣和地說的⋯⋯」婦人焦心地在旁邊勸說。251Please respect copyright.PENANALhfZ3GwZoK
251Please respect copyright.PENANAZ43jZBRNQt
中年男人不管妻子的勸說,大怒拍桌,「李與凡你給我清醒一點!我花這麼多心力栽培你踢足球,就是為了讓你在這種三流球隊踢這種不入流的比賽嗎?!」251Please respect copyright.PENANALyc1xtwpDn
251Please respect copyright.PENANAVWFRBPLRAA
李與凡依舊冷漠,緩緩放下了筷子,抬頭看向自己的父親,「我很清楚自己在做甚麼。」251Please respect copyright.PENANAgiTontqX3W
251Please respect copyright.PENANA8gDTFKjc5l
李父怒然看著他,胸口起伏。251Please respect copyright.PENANALIEZU1V3pR
251Please respect copyright.PENANA69SL2o16su
李與凡目光深深,面容不變。251Please respect copyright.PENANA5nNVCWPTic
251Please respect copyright.PENANAVhxCtcMngh
「我會證明,我今天得到的一切,都不是靠誰給的。」251Please respect copyright.PENANAKdqoMM43fq
251Please respect copyright.PENANA6uGdDbpJop
251Please respect copyright.PENANArJEDWAwh4c
251Please respect copyright.PENANAv34q65YRLv
251Please respect copyright.PENANAgwBiP8OMlE
251Please respect copyright.PENANAblk3g8C9fN
251Please respect copyright.PENANAxYw7us9ljQ
251Please respect copyright.PENANACRlpSM3jkp
251Please respect copyright.PENANAuAbeiPRNIZ
另一邊廂,林家四合院老宅外。251Please respect copyright.PENANATXF2O0NAfU
251Please respect copyright.PENANAQQeE27SkR9
從南翠球場開車趕回來的林經陽,在大宅門口跟自己的父母會合。251Please respect copyright.PENANAajU2n2HB9B
251Please respect copyright.PENANA0A0Gd6zZGY
他母親趕忙抓著他的手臂,「怎麼樣?有沒有請周總一起來過年?」251Please respect copyright.PENANAZAjjv1y3Mk
251Please respect copyright.PENANASK53zd3abw
林經陽無奈,怎麼自家母親第一件事是關心周諾寧,「沒有。」251Please respect copyright.PENANAgbgMtchjFq
251Please respect copyright.PENANAb0LfW7vQ8p
「這樣⋯⋯」林母擔憂地說,「你表妹出了那樣的醜事,聽說本家是不想我們回來的⋯⋯本來想說如果能把周總請來⋯⋯唉,也不知道他們是怎麼個態度⋯⋯」251Please respect copyright.PENANAGuBuGM2Zb2
251Please respect copyright.PENANAvuSLAraAhf
「沒事。」林經陽安撫,「反正總歸得有人代表回來露個臉,我們低調一點就好,老人家們應該不會說甚麼的。」251Please respect copyright.PENANAsazjzJ8GaF
251Please respect copyright.PENANA8fFK40rjq4
林父點點頭,「今年說是統一去正院問安,待會兒你自己進去打個招呼吧,我跟你媽在偏院待著。」251Please respect copyright.PENANAMw5AR75ASc
251Please respect copyright.PENANAtp6r4fR7DA
「嗯,我知道了。」251Please respect copyright.PENANA4tUYYgvxFr
251Please respect copyright.PENANAdHSgD2iHXx
穿過四合院的廣亮大門,迎接的傭人一個帶著林氏夫婦前去偏院,另一個則帶著林經陽到了正院,停在中堂的門邊請他進去。251Please respect copyright.PENANAABuvlPpHrn
251Please respect copyright.PENANA8EvADkBrqL
林經陽頓下腳步,看了裡面熟悉又遙遠的建築一圈,才緩慢地跨過門檻,進入屬於主人之家的中堂。251Please respect copyright.PENANA28kaGE1rYW
251Please respect copyright.PENANAb4HsCs2FZW
他走到中央的八仙桌,依次給坐在兩旁的長輩一一問好,幾位老人家都很有默契地沒有多提他表妹的事。251Please respect copyright.PENANAGdmAku8phw
251Please respect copyright.PENANAex5mLAe19N
例行公事辦妥後,他便打算回去偏院找他父母,回頭就看到剛跨進門檻的熟悉身影。251Please respect copyright.PENANATEpdOkvR2z
251Please respect copyright.PENANAXhK8vqmxlB
林經陽上前朝男人笑著打招呼,「好久不見。」251Please respect copyright.PENANAOjbMrHVOpt
251Please respect copyright.PENANAwOTes03vkf
「嗯。」男人慵懶地插著口袋,「你父母呢?」251Please respect copyright.PENANA5lzVaNJDfO
251Please respect copyright.PENANAX3OsN6lPfD
「在偏院,我也正打算過去找他們。」251Please respect copyright.PENANAdWCg6wiI6G
251Please respect copyright.PENANAS5re7CIF6N
「請他們也過來吧,今年整個家族都在正院吃飯。」251Please respect copyright.PENANA9gEExgDLVv
251Please respect copyright.PENANArId8dPUgCL
林經陽略為驚訝,「我以為⋯⋯只是讓我們進來打個招呼。」251Please respect copyright.PENANAfge7J1F5Fb
251Please respect copyright.PENANAcZwxg8chP3
男人扯著唇,「那些不合時宜的規條,也該是時候廢掉了。」251Please respect copyright.PENANAx6Ta5OUcaN
251Please respect copyright.PENANAa2YF2GZ2tB
林家的正統血緣是百年貴冑,歷史僅次於皇族之後的上官家,所以很多傳統守舊的規條一直流傳至今,例如林經陽這些旁支出身的族人,以前是絕對沒法踏進中堂半步的。251Please respect copyright.PENANAVKsL1UbY1U
251Please respect copyright.PENANAIG6fvcDk9V
不過去年林家新任掌陀人上場後,好些舊規矩就被逐一廢除。251Please respect copyright.PENANAz9rVt4bITf
251Please respect copyright.PENANACiBwafHtFH
林經陽笑了笑,看向不遠處正在和小孩子打鬧的年輕女孩,「看來你家裡那位對你影響蠻大的。」251Please respect copyright.PENANAfljT0e9Yfn
251Please respect copyright.PENANA33vWPW6x3O
男人勾了勾唇,不置可否,唯獨落了女孩身影的眼神裡,多了一層冷硬中的柔和。251Please respect copyright.PENANAD8uvrm2xTy
251Please respect copyright.PENANAyJDfNBQpCw
林經陽看了看四周,「你妹妹呢?還在國外嗎?」251Please respect copyright.PENANA89RNm6dZcO
251Please respect copyright.PENANAdhfcaTfGmx
「嗯。大概是在西班牙太快活吧,說是作業趕不上不能回來,等到年末的時候再看看。」男人神情鬆弛,「反正她被關在這裡太久,也需要多點自由,就任由我爸媽嘮叨去了。」251Please respect copyright.PENANAbHxajGnR9O
251Please respect copyright.PENANAld7aiq3LQ3
林經陽失笑,很明白他說的意思,「看這樣子,再過幾年,你父母該給她安排婚事了。」251Please respect copyright.PENANAqupX4V4Sez
251Please respect copyright.PENANAaqK3c30wSW
「就是啊⋯⋯」男人若有所思,想到那條他還沒能改變的規條,「父母之命,媒妁之言⋯⋯看似天經地義,但誰又真的那麼幸運,能被安排遇上那個最適合的人選。」251Please respect copyright.PENANAKmjKDl61Ol
251Please respect copyright.PENANAbBlYvlTUor
林經陽笑著抬頭看天,頭一次有些慶幸自己是出身自旁支,「看來出身正統,也未必永遠都是好事。」251Please respect copyright.PENANA3mx9A15nGT
251Please respect copyright.PENANAVaDUlvAVll
他家的公司是服裝界的龍頭企業,以前同學總把他當成小太子爺,百般討好奉承,令他總有種優越感,自認出身不錯,足以讓人稱羨。251Please respect copyright.PENANAeUT8Qtxsrm
251Please respect copyright.PENANAKfgOMDGu6L
可是當他母親總抓著他切切教誨,叮囑他一定要努力學習,拼命發奮圖強,絕不能讓林家那群人瞧不起他時,他慢慢搞不懂他爸媽到底還有甚麼不滿足。251Please respect copyright.PENANA9izcDwmBnw
251Please respect copyright.PENANAR7p2lE6APN
當他漸漸長大,學會觀言察色,才赫然發現在他名字裡的「林」,跟別家小孩的那個「林」,原來還可以如此差天共地。251Please respect copyright.PENANAsOk2stFFrI
251Please respect copyright.PENANARNT0324GCf
百年家族林氏,身為四大貴族之一,有座寬大的四合院大宅,代表著林氏悠久且堅毅不屈的歷史,是整個家族的根基和象徵。251Please respect copyright.PENANAyCv17vgoqJ
251Please respect copyright.PENANAdrNHDhEq7b
能在裡面生活、奔跑、長大,是一種身分的肯定,而繼承它的人就有如擁有天下。251Please respect copyright.PENANAn2zRofrdtA
251Please respect copyright.PENANATrDTudyFfY
可裡面天地再大,卻永遠都不會有屬於他和他家人的位置,他們只是這遼闊庭院裡,可有可無的青草綠葉。251Please respect copyright.PENANAkJGFY8zzFj
251Please respect copyright.PENANAw5DsEcn4bg
他們必須要存在,卻又要像不存在那樣謹言慎行。251Please respect copyright.PENANADOcjb3492g
251Please respect copyright.PENANAxN04Doq4NP
從那時林經陽才明白,原來他們沒有的東西,還有這麼多。251Please respect copyright.PENANAUj4MIXlWFG
251Please respect copyright.PENANA8JP1l0OdtK
真正令人稱羨,擁有一切光環的,是站在祭壇最前一列,牽著太老爺的手,在眾人的目光之中上前拜祭的一人。251Please respect copyright.PENANACRJMoMbvHr
251Please respect copyright.PENANAN65adFo4r7
而那人,就是面前這個與他年紀相仿,卻已經是林氏現任當家的天之驕子,林景軒。251Please respect copyright.PENANAwmaeLJZwoQ
251Please respect copyright.PENANA0k19Gia9pV
「是嗎?」林景軒挑眉回視過去,「那你擁有身為旁支的自由,讓你選擇到了你想要的人了嗎?」251Please respect copyright.PENANA9t0uyeAcWC
251Please respect copyright.PENANAlyOLkN3CzK
林經陽遙望遠方,神情意味深長,「選⋯⋯當然能選了。」而後又笑著自嘲,「只是⋯⋯那個選擇並沒有選擇我而已。」251Please respect copyright.PENANAX9DLRVP95X
251Please respect copyright.PENANAJq19JK5Sq7
林景軒勾唇,「看來周家大小姐眼高於天的傳聞,倒也不假。」251Please respect copyright.PENANAODyoqGm80r
251Please respect copyright.PENANAu73xNUx32l
「眼高於天嗎⋯⋯」林經陽輕笑了聲,曾經也以為是自己配不上她,「或許只是她心裡面,本身就沒有所謂的標準。」251Please respect copyright.PENANAgJSbVGm1Ci
251Please respect copyright.PENANAPgl9O0yLS5
林經陽很確定,即使過去一年荊棘滿途,歷經許多不必要的跌宕起伏,此刻的周諾寧,正在度過她人生中最快樂的春節。251Please respect copyright.PENANAVqZl4FquDz
