Aunt Liang was disappointed, she cursed in her heart and took Liang Wanru back to the Marquis' Mansion.
When she saw Mrs. Liu, Aunt Liang was full of complaints.
As they chatted, Aunt Liang suddenly remembered that An Qien had a brother in her natal family. She heard that his first wife died of illness a few years ago, and they never renewed their relationship, leaving only a concubine to guard him.
Thinking of this, Aunt Liang smiled happily and said, "Sister, do you have any clue about your daughter-in-law's natal family?"
Aunt Liang has always been shameless, knowing that she is not worthy of Anfu, and a wealthy family like Anfu will definitely look down on her daughter.
But with Liu's connections, it wouldn't be a bad idea for her to try.
Madam Liu chuckled, thinking that Madam Liang really dared to think about it.
He was the only legitimate son of the An family. An Zhengyuan was an official in the court, and An Shian was a Jinshi. He was sure to make great achievements in the future.
When An Qien married into the Hou Mansion, he was already married. If His Majesty hadn't granted the marriage, the Hou Mansion would have had no relationship with the An Mansion.
Madam Liu's smile had already made it clear, telling Madam Liang not to have any wishful thinking.
She also didn't think about it, even small businessmen looked down on Liang Wanru. Since her family was so weak, she usually could only marry a farmer in her hometown.
She was so whimsical that she wanted Liang Wanru to be the young lady of the An family.
Mrs. Liang is also thick-skinned, so mother and daughter cannot come to the capital in vain.
She smiled gently and said: "I know that the An family has a high position, but isn't it all about fate? My family seems to be pretty good, just in case the eldest young master of the An family falls in love with her."
Mrs. Liu took a sip of tea. Seeing Mrs. Liu like this, she didn't give up until she reached the Yellow River.
She said: "Do you know whose daughter Jiang Hong's dead wife was?"
Mrs. Liang pricked up her ears and looked at Mrs. Liu, waiting for her to say the following words.
Mrs. Liu said: "The youngest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a direct descendant."
Mrs. Liang was shocked that in such a good marriage, this capable man from the An family actually married the daughter of the prime minister.
She smiled and said, "I've been dead for many years, sister. I know that my request is a bit too much. I just want you to use your words and talk to your good wife. Just meet her once and don't like her." There’s nothing to lose, right?”
Ms. Liu agreed. She knew Mr. Liang's character. If he hadn't agreed to her, she would have kept saying it.
And this matter was 100% impossible, so she just found any reason to ask An Qi'en to call her brother to the house.
The maid came in and reported: "Madam, the young lady is here."
Mrs. Liu: "Let her come in."
Mrs. Liang stood up and said with a smile: "Sister, I'll trouble you with this."
After saying that, she retreated behind the curtain and listened to the conversation between Liu and An Qien.
"Mother." An Qien blessed her body.
"sit down."
An Qi'en sat on the side seat and glanced at the half cup of tea left on the tea table. He didn't have to think it was Liang.
She just came in and didn't see Mrs. Liang go out. Thinking about it, Mrs. Liang must be behind the curtain.
An Qien smiled slightly and said to Mrs. Liu, "Mom, there is a polo match tomorrow, and my daughter-in-law wants to take Jiang Xue there to join in the fun."
Mrs. Liu was very happy: "Xue'er, you like the excitement the most. Go ahead. It's hard for you to be so thoughtful."
An Qien asked again: "Does mother want to go together?"
Mrs. Liu didn't want to bask in the sun. People who played polo were usually unmarried boys and girls. She didn't like to join in the fun.
"I won't go."
An Qi'en added: "Mom, some of the young men and girls who are going to Beijing tomorrow to challenge other families will attend. Jiang Xue will be 11 years old soon. Mother, why not take this opportunity to find a good family for Jiang Xue."
Mrs. Liu thought it made sense. She really hadn't thought of this. Before a girl leaves the government at the age of fourteen or fifteen, her family would first look for various candidates.
She could also understand why Mrs. Liang was so anxious. Liang Wanru was already eighteen years old. She was already marrying late at this age. In two years, she would be older and no one would want her anymore.
Mrs. Liu: "Qi'en is still thoughtful. I'll be with you tomorrow."
She suddenly thought of something and asked, "Is anyone going to your parents' house?"
An Qi'en was heartbroken. Mrs. Liu suddenly became concerned about her natal family. She must be holding back something.
Her expression did not change and she replied: "I don't know about my daughter-in-law, but my brother used to attend."
Mrs. Liu smiled kindly: "Go ahead and get ready."
An Qien resigned.
Mrs. Liang would definitely not miss such a good opportunity, so early the next morning, mother and daughter went to the polo club with Mrs. Liu in a carriage.
An Qien and Jiang Xue were in a carriage. On the carriage, Jiang Xue muttered, "Sister-in-law, why is Aunt Liang so annoying? She follows her wherever she goes."
An Qien smiled and said, "We don't care about them, we just have fun ourselves."
Jiang Xue said happily: "Then the horses they are riding today were tamed by my eldest brother?"
The polo players came from the palace, but Qiao Jianghong would definitely not show up if he wanted to save face.
An Qien: "Your eldest brother is the person who manages the feeding of the horses, not the groom, so the horses he manages will appear, but he will not."
Jiang Xuezhen asked: "Is he afraid that others will say he is Bi Mawen?"
A beautiful smile appeared on An Qien's lips: "Maybe."
Jiang Xue also laughed.
When we arrived at the polo club, there were many men, women, and ladies from famous families. Some wealthy families took advantage of this occasion to scout for candidates.
Mr. Jiang has also arrived. There are already many official ladies sitting upstairs in the resting room.
There were already two teenagers playing on the court. An Qien took Jiang Xue's hand and sat on the bench.
Most of the people were acquaintances. After saying hello with a slight nod, she took Jiang Xue to sit at the far end.
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liang took Liang Wanru to sit near the middle. Jiang Xue felt that the view from the side was not good, so she ran to Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu was next to Mrs. Jiang. They were relatives and they chatted politely.
Liang and Liang Wanru always looked at Jiang secretly. They thought Jiang didn't know, but they didn't know that Jiang didn't have a good impression of them at all.
If Jiang is here, An Shi'an must be here too.
Liang Wanru was still imagining An Shian's appearance in her mind. Her aunt said that Master An was handsome and handsome.
She searched for the most handsome man in the crowd.
At this time, a polo match was held on one side of the polo field and a shooting competition was held on the other side.
The two men in the shooting competition are both handsome and handsome, especially the taller one, who wears a jade pendant around his waist and looks majestic. The other one is not bad either, with the gentle and jade-like temperament of a scholar.
An Qien watched polo for a while and suddenly saw his brother playing shooting with Lu Bochu.
Both of them have very good shooting skills, basically ten rings, but they have to compete to determine the winner.
In the end, Lu Bochu was blinded and the black cloth blocked his sight, but he still shot quickly and accurately to the center of the ring.
An Shi'an applauded him in disbelief, and he was in admiration.
He suddenly thought that An Qi'en was also very good at shooting, and he said excitedly: "Brother Lu, wait, if you win Qi'en, I will completely admit defeat!"
