陽春三月三，蘇杭街頭巷尾有清風送爽，乃至出遊的車馬亦少了往日的急躁。

而早時鐘鼓已過，午陽灑落湖面，自見柔和的粼粼波光。岸邊有孩童把著紙鳶奔跑玩耍，百姓家的千金們臨水結笄，始綻美好年華。

336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwgToNksiL
「嗯，可以了。」「哇——！好美啊、謝謝阿綰娘！」
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bVY9iQH86
清澈的湖水倒映出一張可愛的少女輪廓，新綰的半髻飾了一梳粉嫩的桃花。小霜一臉依戀地看著自己於水中的麗映，笑靨如花。
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZEUEAw5o4
「真好看啊。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBldmNRZrZP
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzv5vRor6s
雅香間清茶回甘，璋桃攏起紫袖，看著將屆及笄的少女不禁會心微笑。三月三日女兒節，正好為她情同姐妹的小侍女行個簡單的成年禮；小霜的生辰是冬至、寒暖交錯之時，恰好與今日一脈相承，倒算彌補了她無法為小霜親施笄禮的遺憾。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl0gNRnFIL
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSP6tg1Dg2
到底緣無圓滿，左右將就吧。
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSlsDl2LIh
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1JPKaV0DO
「璋桃，妳可真要讓小霜隨我？」
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxCzuBudSM
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrQxwEW3tr
這邊廂小霜受召而去了領命，溫和的問話就起於身旁。她低眉飲茶，及後又漾起抹淺笑回應：336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmNLb2xKX0
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbC80ekvn5
「要是綰小姐不欲讓小霜侍奉在側，我真不知道該許她一個怎樣的人生了。講到底，珏羅館不是個能寄餘生懿好的地方。」
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9nvZLUau8
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PSV5Qtk6H
此刻有香寧神，姑娘們安坐湖畔燃香、品茗嚐甜，自是心中有數。有幾多人能幸運似璋桃、覓得良人為正妻？遑論這正妻之位還有幾分是看在她原來家世不錯、幾番印證從未以色侍人才得。可世人膚淺，怎會細究每位菩薩的來歷？336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzQkIwc8af
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S9Lp1z3qZ
畢竟煙花之地，畢竟受人白眼，畢竟……善惡難分。
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MurNzkhuV
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7f4br0RoiU
「……我去向無從、注定尺軀隨遇，難許小霜一個世人眼中的安懿呢。」
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn6JZLN8Zq
幾許清風過柳，阿綰邊用茶邊眺望著水中央的古亭：幔幔輕紗藏去了多少雙人脈脈的悸動、也許又見證了多少雙人靜靜的離散，日久以致泛黃。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjNgRfGIwg
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rNWfHVoLm
尚是但願人長久的純真年歲，她不希望讓少女這樣早就受世間種種折磨至成熟——留於珏羅館當然不佳，可隨她四處飄泊、又怎談得上懿好呢？她雖出身滇西可尋，亦已經無法回去了。
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OVDTtAq5L
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMtgYZ391e
「可若然小霜樂意呢？」
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ypeaSd6zQ
茶盡擱杯，璋桃緩緩問道。她看著身邊的滇西女子，如花似玉的容顏掛著脆弱的微笑，自識趣的打住了勸說。
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSagCFYpJMx
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmccfbRMXvK
「即使那丫頭樂意……」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3y1Y5QQ5T
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0msQ8gqauT
阿綰扭首，遙看那不遠處湖畔曲水亭邊，少女頂著一絨桃花、穿著一身嫩粉衣裙，不由得放柔了琥珀色的目光。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoVf0NFFk8
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJCJSaOqDI
適時少女看來，一笑嬌美可人，彷若初綻的桃花。
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMr3Bbyv8e
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn32vSotdV6
「若真如此，愚娘、亦無從拒絕呢。」
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj2hblqNkT
未幾茶冷，她攏收綠袖、莞爾笑說，稍斂的美眸有未聞名的心思流轉。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEYQAywZQe
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU92cy0oU5K
還是、捨不得罷。
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiNhDoduVT
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJgoSXhPUw
「萬分是福，崔氏璋桃、拜謝相懿娘救命之恩。」
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeIMehxHAu
湖光柳影，紫裳加身的妙齡女子覆掌肅拜，受拜的綠衫少婦只微笑扶人、輕拍那疊覆的雙手。
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyStGzDc88j
世態炎涼，許些力所能及的溫暖吧。
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNfhuL9ipi
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnbryjLyu9
「來啊、阿拿們喝兩杯——！」「來，在下敬幾位！」
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7xnmHfhOk
幾聲朗笑自身後不遠處傳來，兩位女子因而回首，只見五六個男子聚於水邊亭上。當中三數人頭纏靛青布帕、頸上一圈明亮的銀環，顯然並非漢家中人；再細聽那豪氣的稱謂，自然不難猜出來客何鄉。
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJstnglXlLX
舉杯叮噹響，是迎苗家客。
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9Z0fmqsTf
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmeN4ouP3k
「欵呢阿拿尤我說、代阿效好酒量！」「來！跟阿拿叔來一砸！」「欵欵欵小弟向來氣虛，怕是浪費了這一杆好煙了啦！」
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9X78EmIzh
「虛到盡頭自然就會充實，子效你放心的用吧。話說槐兄，你就打算一直看戲？」
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4qEAcUf4h
「早在暹羅慣了用煙，余怕是不宜置喙。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW4yt1JJty
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0JJEND2EU
白煙間有著熟悉的香嗆，戌槐呼盡了煙息回了貴公子的話，轉而才向著曲水對岸的苗家俊小子笑說：「這煙醇厚，謝烏君分享。」
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV3KJBVolg
「阿拿槐比代阿烏我所想的來得客氣多了。」「不過福緣所幸，有一大家相授以誠罷了。」
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2VovDfvaI
「哦？今日那位阿雅（註一）亦有來？」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCAKJBN4Uy
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEja8Awjp6
眼見那身邊的香爐消散了煙息，阿烏自口袋裏翻出了數錐赭黃的檀香，放進香爐以火熠子燃點之。明明不涉人事，他的雙眼卻直盯著亭台的出口，像在守候著什麽客人。
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBeiWzNVEp
「有，她有來。」
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnGdFQFbH6
香息飄渺間，戌槐越說越輕，字句隨墨褐的目光飄遠到那樹白槐下，於那芳蹤已逝的湖畔流浪。未幾像是知道自己的注目失禮，他重吸了口煙後斂眸笑說：336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiQzqJfcO8
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVjJwFfnqk
「姑娘自得其樂，余亦無謂打擾。余向來沒分寸慣了，煙酒過癮、姑娘多半不喜。」
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcDJ6jnuXd
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlyzBOwutV
「那看來中原的酒不怎樣啊。」
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRMmkbiK9F
「缺了因緣可使暢飲，鳥兄自然覺得酒不怎樣啊。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbuV8X9H9p
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RPVme0F7Y
貫著損友的作派，蕭燊琪擱下煙斗，饒有興味地笑說：「正好上巳遇曲水，不如、流觴耍樂？」
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwrdlS78PN
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1ijrxpIa8
「咳—！蛤？！！！」「蛤？」「蛤？」
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPZEO7Zcvj
那邊廂阿拿尤、阿拿叔聞言隨著子效的驚叫也一起蛤了起來。接著只見一雙上白下黑的足履離地數分，兩個苗家男子負著一臉懵的漢族男子，同走到那似蛇的曲水圈邊坐下，獨留一缺口方便眾人進出此亭。眼看同族男人淡定地笑著吸煙，暹羅男人笑著吐霧遞酒予漢族貴公子，他們也只有聳肩坐候。
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDQvNbSFds
反正人在異鄉，有事先乾杯先蛤為敬就對了。
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubZykcydfY
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCqeE0rFA1
「玩法十分簡單。」
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI8iNFEYHb
曲水中央的炙爐無物，貴公子往之放上煙斗，使勁一轉撥，趁因緣挑人間笑著解說：336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUcv4CAbKc
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzkh5DSBoq
「煙嘴向誰、誰先敬杯後出題，再斟而入水。杯落誰跟前，誰就應題或自罰三杯。所以槐兄，請吧。」
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicMu6WS2um
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyxvzqbhjY
乍暖還寒的天時，五個男人玩什麼才不掃興失禮？
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn4AB4Za7s
戌槐幾許沉思，眼前一杯佳釀未聞名，提之細聞、才知是甜甜的桃花。他不禁苦笑：「余出題，怕是有失各位男兒寄望……」
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH8teDYhPy
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI6mqUkQhA
下一刻有三位女子悠悠入席，填上了那聚會的缺口。一如幾日前的月夜，阿綰仍披著那身墨綠長衫，於西湖的春風間紋絲不動。
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhsPkN0ylj
「欵阿拿槐，趕緊出題啊……」
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD5A3RziNs
「簡單。余引詩一段，中獎之人接下去。各位請聽。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6LplP1iwR
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn92T3woebY
男人執杯、敬後而盡，接著不緩不急的溫聲頌吟起來：「知否用心如日月，許事則誓同生死？」
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pjQS0Swtm
詩詞兩句共十四字，座上眾人的目光隨酒杯於曲水間飄流。瓷杯隨水流輕轉，幾種眸色映於青白的瓷面。少女茫然、貴公子訕笑，苗家來客與漢家侍衛一起懵然搔頭，似乎只有他們在認真思索自己有否從哪裡聽過後兩句詩詞。
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3XnzFB01r
「戌槐君、好文采。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9PqrggxUo
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZdxsMkwJX
曲水流觴多雅緻，阿綰用著暖茶，是以惟一未注目酒杯飄流之人。她聽進了那有所篡改的詩句，除了欣賞這順口改意的口才，只有無話。
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zvwSt3gi2
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYtnfjUieT
「多得可綰娘教導有方，余不敢忘卻絲毫。」
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxhw5fjsP0
驀地那茶杯一震，曲水上的酒杯轉進了最後的彎角。各種異樣的注視間他總算感覺到些許希望的溫暖，目光漸見灼灼；他多渴望能得她親覆、重新收留他的心……
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMdTwDfPwG
飄流驟止，那觴白瓷卻佇落一裳薰紫前。
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vJaLyqcqS
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkU9PCnO1EW
「真可惜戌槐君一番苦心美意，還請恕妾身大膽、順水領了。」
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjw7lo7gvR
璋桃淺笑，拱手微微一揖。接杯離水之際她悄悄看向了身邊的綠衫少婦，那身姿大氣，阿綰端坐著就像尊不受煙火的菩薩。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBa8kB0a0G
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd23NLsjOG
偏偏那釧遮傷的白玉早道盡了一切，她抬眸正視彼方那滿眼隱忍渴望的暹羅男人，莞爾吟道：336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9Hd7OZcts
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt70jzIbSK
「感君美玉雙眸垂，惜不相逢、未約時。」
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6xCYP0FjH

「……蛤？」「……蛤？」
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlK2B1NNSC
「到底在說什麼蛤……少、少夫人字字珠璣，在下都沒能想出來啦哈哈哈！」
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSy3RAsFF23
「早叫子效你平日好好讀書，好歹不用丟人啊。」蕭燊琪不住搖扇，扭頭再勾起道意味不明的笑：「槐兄，你說對嗎？」
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxO9teL4Zp
「機緣而已，余倒認為沒什麼丟不丟人。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDBdgPNcqF
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ohPnn6xeo
只能對那十四字一笑置之，暹羅男人施一抱拳禮，亦不管是否於禮不合：「謝璋桃姑娘賜教，余、深受教誨。」
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7ZLfZJRyu
「都到底發生什麼了呀……」
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheX1vD4nYL
「沒事，別擔心。」
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2ngKN5Cwc
阿綰淺淺勾唇，入鼻的檀香澀苦，她仍不忘安撫身邊的少女小霜。真是無事，可亦只有她知道自己草率避過了。
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWP8VynDif
過往注定只可無事，不然該怎麽活下去呢？只好翻篇罷。
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxrOJaZSim
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMi26nUpPi
「幾位興致在頭，妾身就無謂耽擱了。下回天選之人來出題罷，諸君公正請看——」
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9G91ipLRU
戲局似已翻篇，璋桃優雅地斟上一酌，將那酌重新放到曲水間。同時那腕一轉，煙嘴又在選人了……
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡds8ROeVaUH
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIaiArD9Fe

煙口直指玉鯉，蕭燊琪邊笑邊執酒一盡。五指繞玩著酒杯，幾許他才再開口：336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2EjdDgku7
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrAk02vOcR
「蘇杭美人多彩聞名，那就請中選者許在下長長見識、看一回美人畫皮罷。」
