……

Leave the order and Joanna's proud body data, and then wait for the dress to come to the door...... These three sets cost more than 40,000 US dollars, which can basically be concluded to be one-time consumables, and for An Feng, who can wear a suit for a long time - at least ten times or more, this is called a loser.

But it doesn't matter, the defeat is brilliant and dazzling, that is, it is worth the money.

An Feng is really careful, maybe in a year or two he will be very tight, but after that, he should encounter a situation where there is money and nowhere to spend, except for the occasional need for "self-realization" - that is, charity, investing in some luxury brands is not necessarily a waste.

Try to glorify your reasons...... An Feng told himself.

The family had a nice exotic holiday in New York, but An Feng and Joanna mainly enjoyed the high quality of life, and the family was visiting, the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Governors Island, ...... The famous scenic spots are all visited, although tired, but they are full of harvest.

An Feng was very lazy, so he didn't join their team, but he also had other entertainment, and when he came to New York, he naturally had to visit his friends. Matthew. Sinclair was the first choice, and although every time I met him in California, it felt like a westerner, but he actually lived in New York.

It is located on Long Island, right next to Queens. The financial tycoons who work in Manhattan's high-rise buildings usually fly from Long Island, making it a hub for the rich and famous. As a super-rich man, Matthew is not immune to vulgarity.

From the helicopter, Matthew's home is a decent one β€” relative to her mother's luxury. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, it occupies a lake, has a vast green area and a tennis court, and a helipad is specially set up next to it, and a big "H" is particularly conspicuous.

The helicopter stopped on it.

Matthew and Mrs. came out to greet them. After getting off the plane, An Feng hugged him warmly: "Your place is really good, and you have a good position for you to occupy!" ”

Matthew said modestly: "I can only say that I came early, and the others were one step late." ”

An Feng said: "Oh, just like your brother is low-key! ”

Matthew laughed, Bazel really doesn't like to show himself.

After greeting each other. Come into the house as a guest. The interior design of the house is more trendy, with strong color contrasts, and Joanna looks around and admires: "The decoration is so beautiful, the colors are bright, and it is very vibrant, Catherine must like it, right?" The designers must have put a lot of thought into it. ”

Matthew's wife, Christina, smiled: "Actually, I designed part of it, and I revised it five years ago, and the theme had to cater to the children's preferences. ”

"So you're still a designer?" An Feng said.

"I did some in college." Christina said. An Feng opened his eyes. As the wife of a super-rich man, she has always been very low-key and well-behaved, but she is not as good as Joanna's slightly expressive character, to be precise, she should be Joanna twenty years later, removing her youthful vitality.

The maid served some dessert and fruit, and they discussed the decoration of the house as they ate, and last time Matthew said that he had plans to build a mansion in England.

Matthew smiled: "The castle I told you about last time. In fact, Christina has changed it more than a dozen times, and no matter how she changes, she can't add a lively style. And the space is too vast, and there are few people living in it, so the plan is overturned and has to start again. This time it is estimated to be a manor-style mansion. ”

An Feng admired this perseverance very much: "You are really leisurely, if you want to change it to me, you definitely can't bear to cancel a plan that you have been thinking about for a few years." ”

Matthew looked at Christina. Holding her hand, he said, "We have a lot of time, and we enjoy the process of giving together, and the result is secondary. ”

They clasped their fingers tightly and looked so sweet.

Joanna nodded in agreement: "This is the attitude of life, don't be dominated by time." ”

Matthew issued an invitation: "Speaking of laid-back. Got time to watch a polo warm-up match? Just tomorrow morning, not far from here in Nasu County. ”

An Feng looked at Joanna, in fact, it didn't matter where she went, it mainly depended on her schedule.

She nodded, and An Feng said, "No problem, we will attend." ”

……

Nassau County has a well-known polo field, which is usually held in the summer and autumn when the temperature is relatively high. Although it is only spring, it can't stop the enthusiasm of polo lovers. Before I came, I heard that Matthew likes these sports, and An Feng has seen it, and his equestrian skills are very good.

As far as polo is concerned, it should have originated in China, called "juju" in ancient times, and then carried forward in Europe, which actually feels similar to the history of football. Polo is especially popular in England, and it is said that equestrianism is an aristocratic sport, while polo is a king's sport.

Joanna explains: "Formal polo matches are expensive, with four players per team, but the cost of horses is huge, and you have to change horses every two quarters. Therefore, each player has at least 6 horses in reserve, and the number is up to 12, and the team has to raise 48 valuable warmbloods. ”

An Feng said: "I have heard a joke on the Internet that says, 'If you earn $20,000 a year, you can play golf, and if you earn $20 million, then you can play polo.'" ”

Joanna shook her head: "If you want to talk about sports, F1 and football are only money-burning, and polo is very niche, but because of the small number of people, it will seem that the private expenses are very high." ”

An Feng understood: "There are only four people in the team, and the average is indeed very high. ”

Joanna continued: "Of course, very few rich people who play polo are professional athletes, so the game can be shortened to four quarters, and eight people can prepare 16 horses. But it's not something that ordinary families can play, and it takes at least three years from equestrian training to coordinating horses to fight later. ”

"Ladies play polo, there should be less of them, right?" An Feng suddenly asked.

Joanna smiled: "It's a little less, because it's a gentleman's sport, but it's not without a women's team." In addition, the reason why women do not play football when they watch football...... You'll get the idea. ”

An Feng was puzzled, and when he arrived at the polo field, which was the size of nine standard football fields, he immediately knew the reason: this was nothing more than a top-level social occasion to move outside. The men dress simply, suit and leather shoes, they mainly watch the ball, while the ladies are different, as grand as they are! Don't be afraid to be high-profile, you're afraid you're not high-profile enough - brightly colored morning dresses are everywhere. A topper hat with a creative twist.

Joanna unveils the mystery: "The men are sweating on the field, and the women are on the sidelines. ”

An Feng was clear: "No wonder! On this rare occasion where someone is more beautiful in the open air, if you wear sportswear, I am afraid it will take a lot of self-confidence. ”

Joanna smiled and straightened the hat on her head and took him by the hand.

No wonder she was dressed so ceremoniously today, and she specially chose hat jewelry...... An Feng meets with Matthew. Let's go to the open auditorium.

They were served champagne and Matthew said: "There weren't too many people in the warm-up friendly matches in the spring, but there were some senior fans, and the atmosphere was not enough. ”

An Feng looked around, although there were not many people, but they swept over all kinds of dresses, I am afraid that after the game started, people's attention was not on the eight players who were fighting, but on these women who dressed themselves with various luxuries. In addition, most of the people who like polo are very rich and rich - this small group is willing to spend no less money on their wives, because this is also the face of men!

Joanna asked, "Matthew, do you have a plan to play?" ”

Matthew shook his head: "I'm just an ordinary hobby, I play occasionally, and I don't have enough time to train, but I'm not as free as the princes." ”

Joanna explained to An Feng: "In the UK, this sport is sought after by royal families, including Crown Prince Charles. William and Prince Harry, both are good players in polo. ”

An Feng understood. No wonder it is said that it is a royal sport, these princes and princes are keen on it, and those nobles are not allowed to hold this sport to the sky?

After the warm-up game began, eight players from the two teams wore professional gear, rode on the back of a majestic war horse, and held a T-shaped bat. Engage in a fierce battle. An Feng is also a horse lover, but he really doesn't have the confidence to play this kind of sport that not only tests himself, but also coordinates the horse.

The speed and intensity of polo are by no means comparable to ordinary sports, and the hooves of the horses fly. The bat swept across the ground, and even some grass was swept up, often leaving clumps of turf that had been knocked over where the horses had stepped on. Eight quarters of a game, by halftime, the field of play was no longer level.

Matthew drank the champagne from his glass, stood up and said, "It's time to get on the action!" ”

An Feng was puzzled, and Joanna explained: "The audience can also interact with each other, there is a five-minute intermission, and we can go in and step on the turf together!" ”

It's a lot of fun, and it's probably the only game where the audience can interact with each other. Many gentlemen and ladies joined hands to find the turf that had been dug out by the horses' hooves, put it back in place, and everyone stepped on it with their feet, and the result was naturally a lot of laughter.

Joanna, who was walking in front, found a piece of turf, turned back to them and said, "Gentlemen! Hurry up and get the turf back! ”

Naturally, the lady will not move the turf, An Feng and Matthew are happy to step forward and move this piece of turf back to the original position where it flew out, and the four of them will step on it hard together, feeling so naΓ―ve, but with the pride of contributing to the contestants, they will naturally be happy.

The weather is still a little cold in spring, so you can move your body, enjoy the sunshine, and walk on the field hand in hand. This time, because it was not a formal competition, the organizers gave a long time for the tour, like An Feng, who held hands with each other and walked on the lawn. There are also people who take the opportunity to meet other friends and chat with each other, and there are single women who are getting together, competing for their "head scenery".

Joanna said, "The Royal Esko is the world's grandest horse race in June, where low-key aristocrats gather, and the queen attends every year with a new look, and it attracts a large number of dressed ladies. Horse racing season is the equivalent of an outdoor haute couture show. ”

An Feng asked: "I guess, you also want to appear in a very good look in June?" ”

Joanna smiled: "I can't fool you." ”

An Feng patted his chest: "Don't worry, our new plane will come at that time, flying to the UK is a matter of a few hours of sleepiness, I guarantee that you will dress up and appear, more dazzling than the princess, steal their limelight, tell them, let the camera be given to young people!"
