this fox is a bit silly

As the saying goes: The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die.

The Shen family has been officials for generations, so it is impossible not to know this truth.Although Shen Yuxian was young, the crown prince asked him to kneel. He hesitated for a while, but he still knelt down without saying a word.

Xu Shi saw that the child prodigy who was praised so much in the past was still kneeling at his feet, the little prince smiled slightly, and walked past him into the room with a cold grunt triumphantly.

Lin Wang, who was following the little prince, looked not very good.

He personally helped Shen Yuxian to get up, although he said on the face that the prince was still young, I hope he will not be angry.But Shen Yuxian looked at his face, but felt a little weird.How should I put it, he frowned deeply, but Shen Yuxian didn't feel that he was frowning because of the little prince's behavior.

So, what is the reason for his frown...

That night, when everyone in the mansion was entertaining the little prince and King Lin, Shen Yuxian sneaked out of the mansion and came to the town's peach blossom tree alone.

The peach blossom tree is still standing there, and the branches, leaves and petals are blown around by the wind.Those petals are like rouge scattered all over the sky, crimson, which is both magical and desolate.Shen Yuxian looked up at it for a long time, then silently lowered her head and walked over to lean on it with her back.

It's hard to imagine that such a small person could have troubles.But in fact, children also have their own troubles. The reason why adults say that children have no troubles is because the age is too far away, and many people can no longer remember the troubles of childhood.The second is that I have seen a lot after I became an adult, and after experiencing a lot, the troubles of childhood seem very insignificant.

Leaning quietly under the peach tree, Shen Yuxian watched the peach petals fall one after another, and finally revealed the appearance of a normal child - pouted slightly, raised proud eyebrows, and murmured: "That little prince is really annoying."

The peach blossom tree floats gently with the wind.The tree moves with the wind, and this scene is normal no matter how you look at it.But it just didn't move. It was a coincidence that it moved as soon as Shen Yuxian's childish behavior happened.

Glancing sideways at the big tree, the child's temper was finally exposed: "Don't laugh!"

He blushed, stared at the big tree for a long time, and finally choked out a sentence: "Laugh again... laugh again, and I'll put bugs on you!"

I don't know if it's the wind giving him face, or the tree giving him face.Such a non-threatening sentence came out, and the big tree actually stood still.

The tree didn't move, but Shen Yuxian was not happy.With a small face full of anger, he leaned his back against the big tree again, clasped his hands and said, "If he wasn't the future emperor, I wouldn't bother him!"

In a fit of anger, a pink and tender peach petal as big as a fingernail floated on the tip of his nose with a faint fragrance.The little petal landed on the tip of his nose, and he was able to stand still!Shen Yuxian stared at it for a while, and then blew lightly with her mouth when the eyes felt uncomfortable.

The small petal was very light, and he threw it high into the air with a blow. When it was about to fall to the ground and melt into one with other petals, Shen Yuxian suddenly reached out to catch it.

After catching it, he lowered his head to take a closer look, and finally held it carefully in his own small hands.Children's sadness and happiness always come and go quickly, and they are extremely easy to be satisfied.Catching the small petal, Shen Yuxian seemed to be comforted, looked back at the peach blossom tree with a satisfied smile, and happily ran home with the petal.

It stands to reason that young children never know how to cherish what they get.

Shen Yuxian, who was born so wealthy, naturally also had this contradiction, but he felt that this little petal had a special meaning, although he couldn't tell what it was.But children are children, and they always have their own attachments. Shen Yuxian wears a necklace on her slender neck.The neck ring is finely crafted, with a small bead hanging down that can be snapped in two.Shen Yuxian opened the small silver bead and carefully hid the petals inside.

That night, I touched the little beads and fell asleep peacefully.

After this night, Shen Yuxian began to go to the peach blossom tree every day.

Although this night used to come often, but now it is more frequent.

Not only did he come, but he also brought his favorite baby with him like making friends.He generously showed his precious toys to Peach Blossom Tree one by one, and often stayed with it for a whole day.

On a sunny and stormy day, he secretly took out a jug of cold wine from home, ran all the way to the big tree as if he had acquired some rare treasure, and finally sprinkled all the wine on the soil not far from the peach tree, where it A small umbrella to avoid the sun was propped up by the side, struggling to cover a section of its branches.

Some people passed by and saw this scene, and they all covered their mouths and chuckled.

Some people couldn't help it, and kindly approached and whispered: "Young Master Shen, what are you doing?"

Shen Yuxian held a small umbrella, with a serious and solemn face, as if she was doing something big, and said confidently: "I'm shading it from the sun."

The common people were shocked by his innocence: "But young master...it's just a peach tree."

Shen Yuxian remained unmoved, holding the umbrella firmly, and solemnly said like an adult: "In my eyes, it is not just a tree."

Sometimes he brought poems and songs, sat under the shade of a tree and recited aloud the art of war.

The spring rains are continuous, and he didn't think so before, but now as long as it rains, he must hold an umbrella and try his best to cover the branches and leaves of the peach blossom tree.Even if it's of no use at all.

I remember one night when it rained cats and dogs.Shen Yuxian was awakened from a dream, and when she lifted the gauze curtain, she saw that it was raining continuously outside, and her small face turned half white in an instant.Afraid of waking up his servants, he secretly put on a coat, took a small umbrella and slipped out of the mansion by himself, went to the peach blossom tree and held up a small umbrella to cover a branch.

This company lasted all night.

In the early morning of the second day, the sky was bright and the rain stopped just right.Shen Yuxian was afraid of being discovered, so she put away her umbrella and ran back quietly.He was very tired, but even when he left like this, he still did not forget to proudly say to the peach tree: "I came to accompany you because I saw you were alone in the rain."

The big tree moved with the wind.

……

Turning around, King Lin and the little prince came and went in a hurry.

Sitting for two days, said some polite words, uncle and nephew continued to search.

When they left, Shen Yuxian had to say that she was quite happy.Naturally, he did not show any signs of this joy.

Unexpectedly, only one and a half months after King Lin and the little crown prince left, old magistrate Shen fell ill.

His illness came on violently and without warning.

Doctors came one after another, and the old magistrate was not getting well except that he was getting thinner and thinner day by day. I asked those doctors what disease they had, but no one could tell a name.

Shen Yuxian felt sorry for his grandfather, and was also afraid that something might happen to him, so he stayed with him every day, and he didn't often go under the peach tree.

Day by day, the old magistrate's condition became worse day by day.

On the night when the doctor informed the whole family to prepare for the funeral, there was a strong wind and heavy rain.Open the window and look, the sky is full of layers of black clouds, and the lightning in the black clouds is extremely scary!No one in the small town has ever seen such a scene. Every family locked the doors and windows in fright, and the whole family hid under the table and shivered.

God is angry.That's what everyone says.

Otherwise, how to explain such a terrible scene?

However, on such a night, a small figure was running in the heavy rain.

This figure was only a small figure, and the heavy rain and strong wind almost washed him away, but he still ran tenaciously and firmly.It’s okay to fall down and get up again. It’s okay to be washed away by the rainstorm. If you can’t walk, you can crawl and walk on your knees.Don't be afraid of being blown away by the wind. If the wind blows, you can hug the surrounding trees, wait for the wind to go, and then continue walking.

Big drops of tears kept falling from his eyes, like the continuous rainstorm in the sky.The little man was wearing a small robe, and his whole body was wet, covered with mud and weeds. At this moment, the old and proud young master finally let go of all kinds of things that did not meet his age, like a wounded little animal. The same pitiful and frightening eyes were filled with tears, the little face was pale, and the once ruddy lips were as white as the color of paper.

The prefect's mansion is not far from Taoshu.

But this is not a long journey at all, under the obstruction of the storm, it is as difficult as a mountain of knives and a sea of ​​​​blazes, and he insisted on walking for an hour.

When he climbed up a high slope with difficulty and looked at the huge peach blossom tree swaying in the rainstorm from a distance.

He yelled at Taoshu with a hoarse voice as if he had completely collapsed and vented: "No matter what you are! Please save my grandpa, please! I beg you!!!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden thunder in the dark cloud-covered sky!
