“文叔贤侄！“刘杨见刘秀入内，立刻起身相迎，脸上的笑容堆叠如褶，眼中却闪烁着精明的光，“今日登门，莫非已有决断？“
刘秀深深一揖，腰背挺直如松，声音平静而低沉：“真定王厚爱，秀不敢推辞。今日特来提亲，愿娶郭氏女为妻。“
话音一落，厅内仿佛瞬间静了一瞬。
刘杨眼中精光暴涨，随即哈哈大笑，笑声震得梁上灰尘簌簌而落。他猛地一拍案几，震得酒樽摇晃，琥珀色的酒液溅出几滴，在锦缎上洇开暗痕。
“好！好！“刘杨大步上前，一把攥住刘秀的手腕，力道大得几乎要捏碎骨头，豪迈道：“从今往后，真定十万大军，任凭贤侄调遣！我们便是一家人了！“
刘秀唇角微扬，露出一抹恰到好处的笑意，目光却越过刘杨的肩头，望向厅外——
那里，一道纤细的身影正躲在描金屏风后，透过镂空的雕花缝隙偷偷张望。郭圣通一袭藕荷色罗裙，发间珠钗微颤，见刘秀望来，脸颊霎时飞红，慌忙侧身避开，却不慎碰倒了身旁的花瓶。
“哐当“一声脆响，瓷片四溅。
厅内众人皆是一怔，刘杨回头瞥了一眼，随即笑得更加得意，胡须都翘了起来：“哈哈哈！小女羞涩，让诸位见笑了！“他大手一挥，声如洪钟：“来人！设宴！今日不醉不归！“
乐师们立刻奏起欢快的《鹿鸣》，婢女们鱼贯而入，捧着鎏金酒壶和琉璃盏，厅内顿时觥筹交错，喧闹非凡。
刘秀端起酒樽，琥珀色的液体映出他平静的眉眼。酒液入喉，辛辣如刀，却比不上心头那一丝钝痛。
“小姐！小姐！“小翠提着裙摆一路小跑进内院，发间的绢花都跑得歪斜了，“大喜事！天大的喜事！“
正在绣架前走神的郭圣通被这声惊呼吓得扎到了手指，一颗殷红的血珠顿时沁在雪白的绢面上。她顾不上擦拭，抬头就见小翠气喘吁吁地闯进来，脸颊涨得通红。
“死丫头，慌慌张张成何体统...“郭圣通话未说完，院外突然传来一阵杂乱的脚步声。她的母亲刘氏被两个婢女搀扶着进来，平日里最重仪态的主母此刻竟连发髻都有些松散，眼角还挂着泪痕。
“我的儿啊！“刘氏一把抱住女儿，声音都在发颤，“你舅舅方才派人来报，刘将军...刘将军他...“话到此处竟哽咽得说不下去，只能一个劲儿拍着女儿的肩膀。
郭圣通手中的绣绷“啪嗒“掉在地上。她感觉自己的心跳快得像是要冲出胸膛，耳边嗡嗡作响，连母亲后面说的话都听不真切了。只隐约捕捉到“提亲“、“应允“几个字眼，整个人便如坠云雾。
小翠机灵，连忙端来绣墩让主母坐下。刘氏这才平复些气息，拉着女儿的手絮絮道：“你舅舅说，刘将军今日亲自登门提亲，当着满堂宾客的面说要娶你为妻...“说着又抹起眼泪，“我儿好福气啊！“
窗外的阳光忽然变得格外明亮，透过雕花窗棂在青砖地上投下斑驳的光影。郭圣通觉得脸颊发烫，忙用团扇掩面，却掩不住嘴角漾开的笑意。她想起上月舅舅寿宴上，那个站在廊下看竹的挺拔身影——刘秀一袭靛蓝深衣，腰间玉带映着天光，比满园牡丹还要夺目。
“小姐脸红了！“小翠突然凑过来打趣，惊得郭圣通手中的团扇差点掉落。她作势要打，小翠却灵活地躲到刘氏身后，笑嘻嘻道：“夫人您看，小姐羞得耳朵都红透了呢！“
“胡说！“郭圣通强作镇定，却忍不住摸了摸自己发烫的耳垂。她转身去捡地上的绣绷，借着低头掩饰脸上的喜色。那方绣了一半的并蒂莲忽然变得格外刺眼——难道冥冥中早有预兆？
正说着，院门“砰“地被撞开。年仅十四岁的郭况风风火火冲进来，连发冠都跑歪了：“阿姊！刘将军的聘礼都抬进府了！整整十八抬！“少年兴奋地比划着，“最前头那对玉雁足有这么大，通体碧绿...“
“况儿！“刘氏急忙喝止，“女儿家面前说这些做什么！“但眉梢眼角的喜色却藏不住。她起身整理衣襟，对女儿柔声道：“快些梳妆，你舅舅命人接我们过府商议婚仪。“
待母亲和弟弟离开，郭圣通终于放任自己倒在绣榻上，把滚烫的脸颊埋进锦被里。小翠知趣地退到屏风外，却听见里面传来闷闷的笑声。过了好一会儿，才见自家小姐重新坐起身来，眼角还带着笑出的泪花。
“小翠，取我那件杏红曲裾来。“郭圣通对着铜镜抿了抿鬓角，忽然想起什么似的补充道：“就是上个月新裁的那件...领口绣兰草的。“
镜中的少女双颊绯红，眼里闪着细碎的光。她轻轻抚过梳妆台上的鎏金胭脂盒，忽然觉得往日最爱的蔷薇香粉都失了颜色。窗外传来喜鹊的叫声，一阵春风拂过，吹得檐下的铜铃叮当作响。
郭圣通望着镜中的自己，忽然有些恍惚。那个在舅舅宴席上偷看的夜晚，刘秀可曾注意到屏风后这道忐忑的视线？她当时只顾着躲藏，连他腰间玉佩的纹样都没看清。如今想来，若是当时大胆些...
“小姐，发什么呆呢？“小翠捧着衣裳进来，见主子对着镜子出神，忍不住笑道：“可是在想象刘将军揭盖头时的模样？“
“再胡说就撕你的嘴！“郭圣通作势要打，嘴角却止不住地上扬。她接过衣裳时，指尖都在微微发抖。这料子是舅舅去年从长安带回的蜀锦，她一直舍不得穿，总觉得要等个特别的日子。如今她要穿上它，心里美滋滋的。
原来命运早有安排。
书房内沉水香在青铜博山炉中袅袅升腾，却驱不散满室阴鸷之气。刘杨斜倚在紫檀木凭几上，指尖有一下没一下地叩击着案几，震得杯中酒液泛起细碎涟漪。
