Leave the order and Joanna's proud figure, and then wait for the dress to come... These three sets cost more than 40,000 US dollars, and it can basically be concluded that they are disposable consumables. For An Feng, who can wear a suit for a long time - at least ten times, this is called a loser.

But it doesn't matter, the wonderful and eye-catching defeat is worth the money.

An Feng was really careful. Maybe he would be very tight in a year or two, but after that, he should encounter situations where he has money and has nowhere to spend it. In addition to occasionally needing to "self-realization" - that is, charity, investing in some luxury brands is not necessarily a waste.

Try to beautify your reasons...An Feng tells himself.

Their family spent a good exotic festival in New York, but An Feng and Joanna mainly enjoyed high-quality life, while their families were visiting the Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, Governor's Island... all famous attractions were all tiring, but they all gained a lot.

An Feng was very lazy, so he didn't join their tour group, but he had other social engagements. When he came to New York, he naturally had to visit his friends. Matthew Sinclair was the first choice. Although he met him in California every time and felt like he was a resident of the West, he actually lived in New York.

The financial giants working in the Manhattan high-rise buildings are located on Long Island next to Queens. Their helicopters usually take off from Long Island, and thus have become a gathering place for wealthy and celebrities. As a super rich man, Matthew cannot avoid being crowded.

Judging from the helicopter, Matthew's home is pretty good-looking - compared to her mother's luxurious style. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it occupies a lake surface, with a vast green space and a tennis court. A helicopter apron is set up next to it. A large "h" is particularly conspicuous.

The helicopter stopped on it.

Matthew and his wife came out to greet him. After getting off the plane, An Feng hugged him enthusiastically: "Your place is really good, and you have occupied the good location!"

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, keep a low profile!"

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

After greeting each other, I went into the house to visit. The interior design of the house was more fashionable and the contrast of color was strong. Joanna looked around and admired it very much: "The layout is so beautiful, the colors are bright and energetic. Catherine must have liked it very much, right? The designer must have put a lot of effort into it."

Matthew's wife Christina smiled and said, "Actually, there was part of it that I designed it. It was revised five years ago. The theme should cater to the children's preferences."

"So you are still a designer?" An Feng said.

"I studied a little while in college," said Christina. An Feng opened his eyes. As a super rich wife, she has always been low-key and decent, but she is not as slightly expressed as Joanna. To be precise, she should be Joanna twenty years later, and she has removed her youthful vitality.

The maid served some desserts and fruits, and they discussed the topic of decorating the house while eating. Last time Matthew said he had plans to build a mansion in the UK.

Matthew smiled and said, "The castle I mentioned to you last time has actually been changed by Christina more than a dozen times, but no matter how you change it, it can't add a lively style. Moreover, the space is too vast and there are few people to live without feeling, so the plan is overturned and we have to start over again. This time it is probably a manor-style mansion."

An Feng admired this perseverance: "You really have leisure. If it were me, I would never have the heart to cancel a plan that I had been thinking about for a few years."

Matthew looked at Christina and grabbed her hand and said, "We have a lot of time, and we enjoy the process of joint dedication, and the result is secondary."

They clasped their fingers and looked sweet.

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

Matthew sent an invitation: "When it comes to leisure. Do you have time to watch a polo warm-up game? Just tomorrow morning, Nassu County, not far from here."

An Feng looked at Joanna. Actually, it doesn’t matter where she goes, it mainly depends on her schedule.

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

...

There is a very famous polo stadium in Nasu County. Polo competitions are usually held in summer and autumn when the temperature is relatively high. Although it is spring now, it cannot stop the enthusiasm of polo enthusiasts. I heard that Matthew likes these sports before coming, and An Feng has seen it. His equestrian skills are very good.

As for polo, it should have originated in China, called "Kaju" in ancient times, and then developed in Europe. This feels like the process of football. Polo is particularly popular in the UK, so there is something to say that equestrianism is a noble sport, while polo is a king sport.

Joanna introduced: "The formal polo competition is very expensive. Each team has 4 players, but it consumes a lot of horses. One horse needs to be replaced every two quarters. Therefore, each player has at least 6 horses reserved, with the most reaching 12. The team has to raise 48 expensive warm-blooded horses."

An Feng said: "I have heard jokes online saying, "You can play golf with an annual salary of 20,000 US dollars, and you can play polo with an annual salary of 20 million US dollars."

Joanna shook her head: "If you want to talk about sports, f1, football, etc., 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: "The team is only four people, and the average is indeed very high."

Joanna continued: "Of course, very few rich people who play polo are professional athletes, so the competition can be shortened to four quarters, and 8 people prepare 16 horses. But it is not something that ordinary families can play. From equestrian training to coordinating horse combat later, it will take at least three years."

"My ladies should play polo less, right?" An Feng asked suddenly.

Joanna smiled and said, "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 don't play football... you will understand."

An Feng was puzzled. When he arrived at the polo stadium with a size of 9 standard football stadiums, he immediately knew the reason: this was nothing more than a top social occasion to move outdoors. Men dressed simply, suits and shoes, and they mainly watched football, while ladies were different. The more grand they were, the more grand they were! Don’t be afraid of being high-profile, but you were afraid that you were not high-profile enough - there were brightly colored morning dresses everywhere and creative top hats.

Joanna reveals the answer: "The men are sweating on the court, while the ladies are competing on the beauty off the court."

An Feng knew it: "No wonder! This rare occasion is more beautiful than anyone else in the open air. If you wear a sportswear, it may require a lot of confidence."

Joanna smiled and tidied up the hat on her head, and took his hand into the venue.

No wonder she was dressed so grandly today, and she chose hats and jewelry... An Feng met with Matthew and came to the open audience.

Someone brought them champagne, and Matthew said: "There are not too many people in the warm-up friendly matches in the spring, but there are many senior fans, and the atmosphere is not enough."

An Feng looked around. Although there were not many people, they all had various dresses when they swept over. I am afraid that after the game started, people's attention was not on the eight players they were fighting against, but on the women who dressed up in various luxury. In addition, most of the people who like polo were rich rich people - this small group would definitely spend less money on their wives, because this was also the face of men!

Joanna asked, "Matthew, do you have any plans to play?"

Matthew shook his head: "I'm just an ordinary hobby, 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 has been sought after by the royal family, including Crown Prince Charles William and Prince Harry, are all good players in polo."

An Feng understood. No wonder it was the King's Movement. These princes and crown princes were keen on this. Those nobles could not praise this sport to heaven?

After the warm-up game started, eight players from the two teams were wearing professional equipment, riding on the majestic horseback, holding T-shaped ball sticks, and embarking on a fierce competition. An Feng is also a horse lover, but he really has no confidence to play this kind of sports that tests himself and coordinates the horses.

The speed and intensity of polo are not comparable to ordinary sports. Horses' hooves fly. When the ball stick swept across the ground, some grass will even be swept away. Wherever the horses step by, pieces of turf that are being turned over are usually left. In eight quarters of a game, the field of the game is no longer flat by the halftime break.

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

An Feng was puzzled, and Joanna explained: "The audience can also play the field and interact. There are five minutes of halftime breaks, so we can go in and step on the turf together!"

This is very interesting, and I'm afraid it's the only game that allows the audience to play in the field. Many gentlemen and ladies join hands to play, find the grass dug out by horse hooves, put it back in place, and everyone step on it together, and naturally leave laughter and joy.

Joanna, who was walking in front, found a piece of turf and turned to them and said, "Gentlemen! Come and move the turf back!"

The lady naturally would not move the turf. An Feng and Matthew were happy to step forward and move the large turf back to the original position where it flew out. The four of them gathered together to stomp it firmly. It felt so naive, but they were proud to contribute to the contestants, so they would naturally be happy.

In the spring when the weather is still a little cold, you can move your body, enjoy the sunshine, and walk hand in hand on the field. This time, since it is not a regular competition, the organizer gave him a long time to visit. People like An Feng are walking hand in hand on the lawn. Some people also took the opportunity to meet other friends, chat with each other, and there are also single women gathered together, competing for their respective "scenery on their heads".

Joanna said as she walked: "Every June Royal Esco is the most grand Jockey Club in the world. Low-key nobles gather together. The Queen will attend new looks every year, which will attract a large number of ladies dressed up. The horse racing season is equivalent to an outdoor high-end fashion party."

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

Joanna smiled: "I can't cheat you."
