Chapter 67 Mother's Best Friend
Hearing this, Xiao Fan and Zhao Paner looked at each other and smiled, and immediately offered their hands to Lady Liu and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Lady Liu, and I won't be able to fight for Lady Liu."
"Huh? Why is this?" Mrs. Liu, who was already confident, couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw Xiao Fan actually refused.
"This is because my mother also wants to organize a team to participate in this competition." Xiao Fan replied
"Your mother?" Mrs. Liu said, "I forgot to ask which family you are from before. Why haven't I seen you before?"
"So that the eldest lady will know that I am from Suzhou. My father is Xiao Qinyan, a political official, and my mother is from the Qian family in Wuyue." Xiao Fan continued: "As for me, I have only been in Qiantang for more than a month, and the eldest lady has never seen me.
It’s really normal.”
"Is your mother the rich lady of Xiao Mansion in Suzhou?" Madam Liu was very surprised: "Speaking of which, your mother and I are still familiar with each other."
"Oh? Mrs. Liu actually knows my mother?" Xiao Fan was not too surprised. After all, they both belong to the top official family in Jiangnan, so it is normal for them to know each other.
"We have known each other since we were young ladies, and our relationship is not ordinary." Madam Liu saw that there was no hope of recruiting Xiao Fan, so she looked at her again and said, "Your mother really gave birth to a good son, no?"
Like my son, he doesn’t live up to expectations at all.”
"The eldest lady is so complimentary."
"Since you can't represent my team, I won't say anything more. You can go and play by yourselves. San Dao will take care of them for me and have fun."
"Auntie, don't worry! I will definitely greet my master and the others." Liu Sandao promised, patting his chest.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Fan and Zhao Paner, together with Liu Sandao, said goodbye to Madam Liu.
Mrs. Liu looked at the three people leaving and was very depressed. She thought she had found a polo master and asked him to play for her team. He might get a good ranking this year.
As a result, not only was Xiao Fan unable to join her team, but he was also Qian's son, which made her extremely upset.
As for the relationship between Mrs. Liu and the Qian family, not only they are as close as sisters, but at least they can be said to be incompatible.
The two young people did grow up together. Although they were at each other's throats before they met, they still disliked each other and ridiculed each other when they met.
"Why do I feel that Mrs. Liu's attitude towards me has changed a lot since you mentioned my mother just now?" Zhao Pan'er guessed with some concern: "Do you think she has a bad relationship with my mother?"
"Can't you?" Although Xiao Fan also felt that something was wrong, he still didn't believe that the relationship between Mrs. Liu and Qian was so bad: "I think Mrs. Liu and my mother both have good tempers, and they both like polo.
How bad can this relationship be?"
"Yeah! I hope I'm overthinking it."
"That's right, we are here to play today. We must have fun and enjoy ourselves." Xiao Fan pulled Zhao Pan'er and said, "Come on, I will take you to practice ball. You are good at horseback riding and have good ideas, but your ball skills still need to be improved.
.”
After meeting up with everyone, everyone discussed what to play. Xiao Fan and the others played polo, and the others who didn't know how to play naturally couldn't just watch from the sidelines.
"I just discussed it with Hui Hui," Su Jiang'er said, "We two couples will go over there to take Chuiwan in a while."
Chuiwan is a ball game born in the Tang Dynasty, derived from step polo.
Chuiwan does not have a goal, but a certain hole is dug in the ground, and the ball is scored if it is driven into the hole.
The course is deliberately designed to be undulating, with different terrains such as grass, gravel and sand. Overall it looks like an ancient version of golf.
"Ouyang Guanren said that a poetry meeting is being held there," Song Yinzhang said, "I plan to go to the poetry meeting to have a look."
"Oh, that's it. I just found out that many of our classmates from the academy are holding a poetry meeting there, so I wanted to invite Lady Song to go over there and have a look." Ouyang Xu quickly added from the side.
Zhao Pan'er and Xiao Fan looked at each other and instantly understood what the other meant: There is something going on between these two!
"Okay, Yin Zhang, you guys will be there soon. By the way, Yin Ping, remember to take good care of your girl." After Zhao Pan'er finished speaking, he looked at Sun Sanniang: "Sanniang, what about you?"
"Me?" Sun Sanniang was stunned for a moment after being asked, and then said: "You don't need to worry about me. A few children just said they were going to fly kites. I will fly kites with them later."
Zhao Pan'er looked at Sun Sanniang's look and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, she forgot about it. In fact, she didn't understand Sun Sanniang a little. She rarely came out to play, but in the end she still focused on the child.
Although he didn't agree with what Sun Sanniang did, Zhao Pan'er understood the reason why Sun Sanniang did this after thinking about Sun Sanniang who was devoted to her children.
After everyone separated, Xiao Fan looked at Zhao Pan'er, who was not in a high mood, and asked, "Pan'er, what's wrong?"
"Fan Lang, seeing Sanniang like this, I want to have a baby, but I don't want to have a baby." Zhao Pan'er said with some melancholy.
"Huh?" Xiao Fan didn't know where to start after hearing Zhao Pan'er's confusing words, so he asked, "Why do you say that?"
"Mom wants to have a grandson, and I also want to have our child, but..." Zhao Pan'er hesitated and said, "But seeing Sanniang and Zifang, I'm afraid that the child will be disobedient in the future, and I will become like Sanniang.
Everything revolves around the children."
"Don't worry, our children will definitely be obedient in the future," Xiao Fan comforted: "And isn't it me? I will accompany you to educate our children."
"If you give birth to a daughter, you will teach her tea art, dancing, flower arrangement, incense tasting, etc., and I will teach her reading, writing, painting, and even martial arts." Xiao Fan said longingly: "Then take a bath.
When I’m free, I go out for fun like today, or I invite a few friends to go out for an outing.”
"What if the baby is a boy?" Zhao Pan'er asked again.
"Then I will let him know what a father's love is like." Xiao Fan said seriously.
"Okay, okay, let's get ready!" Liu Sandao came over and urged, "It's our turn for the next game."
"No, how many matches are you going to compete in?" Xiao Fan said reluctantly: "I'm mainly here to teach Pan'er how to play ball today!"
"It's all the same," Liu Sandao waved his hand and said, "Let's just use competition as training, isn't it different? The effect is even better."
Xiao Fan heard this and glared at He Zhenwei beside him: Can't you take care of your wife?
When He Zhenwei saw it, he curled his lips, clapped his hands and then opened them, saying that he was powerless and could not help.
Xiao Fan thought the same thing. If He Zhenwei could control Liu Sandao, he wouldn't have joined Ning Liheng and Chai Zongliang in a group to keep warm.
"It's rare that Sandao is so interested today, let's play a few more games with her." Seeing Xiao Fan like this, Zhao Pan'er couldn't help but know what he was thinking, but she actually also liked the feeling during the game.
"That's right, usually I can only bring Zhenwei and his servants on the field, but how can I win as happily as I did today!"
The new game started soon. Although the opponent's strength was not even as good as Lu Renjian's team, there was no personal grudge between the two sides.
Therefore, Xiao Fan did not show his strength. He no longer defended strictly and left more to Zhao Pan'er and Liu Sandao in terms of offense.
Xiao Fan made another wonderful long pass to Zhao Pan'er. Zhao Pan'er rode forward, caught the polo and launched an attack.
"Sister-in-law is so free and easy, living like the sun!" He Zhenwei and Xiao Fan walked side by side, watching the last goal of the game, and couldn't help but sigh.
Xiao Fan looked at Zhao Pan'er who was smiling like a flower and running wildly after the ball, and couldn't help but said: "But you don't know how difficult her life was!"

Dear friends, I’d like to read the new book, but I can’t recommend it enough because I haven’t read it enough. I’d also like to ask for recommendation votes and monthly passes.
