Chapter 1768

The elder brother Xia Hanyu's voice fell, and all the people present showed their shocked expressions one after another.

"Brother, are you sure this doll is really an 18th century antique doll?" Xia Shiyun couldn't help asking. Without waiting for Xia Hanyu to answer, Xia Yunfeng, the second child, laughed and joked: "third sister, at least our elder brother is specialized in the antique industry. We can't be wrong about that!"

Xia Shiyu, the fifth elder sister, also came close to look at it. She picked up the mechanical doll and studied it carefully for a while. She nodded her head and said with a smile, "it doesn't look like much, but it's exquisite. Even with the present technology, it's difficult to do this. I think brother is right. This mechanical doll was made by Jacques drow himself, But the royal families and nobles all over the world scrambled to get what they wanted. I remember there was another present in the Forbidden City, which was presented to Emperor Qianlong that year! "

Xia Fu also nodded slightly. He had some say in this antique. He took Xia Shiyu's words and said slowly, "ah Yu is right. This kind of mechanical doll was really outstanding in the 18th century. Ambassador Jacques drow also took several mechanical dolls to do exhibitions in those years. Some of the models of Mechanical dolls were made in the shape of Louis XIV, and they could write and draw, Another one can play the piano... "

When Xia Fu said this, his eyes fell on Chen Qiao. He couldn't imagine that such a man who looked a little embarrassed and his hair was in a mess could give such a valuable antique doll just to be a gift for Xiao Qi and Feng Xun's children at the full moon banquet!

"There are very few of these dolls in the world now, so each one is very valuable. How did you get it?" Xia Fu asked thoughtfully.

Other people also looked at Chen Qiao curiously. Before, they all felt that it was strange for people dressed like this to come to Feng Xun's full moon banquet. Now this strange man is so powerful. Is it true that people don't look good?

Facing the eyes of the public, Chen Qiao still shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "of course... Gambling!"

"Gambling?" Xia Fu is stunned, big brother Xia Hanyu and second brother Xia Yunfeng look at each other and show confused expression one after another.

"Johnny, you..." on the seventh day of the summer, I didn't expect that Johnny would send such a special and valuable gift. When I heard that he was a gambler, I couldn't help dissuading him.

"It's really won at the gambling table. Time is pressing, and I can't find any other gifts. It happened that the noble old man boasted to me that there are valuable antiques at home or toys that children like, so I gambled with him to win his antiques!"

Chen Qiao's understatement has already made everyone present whisper.

When Xia's father heard his explanation, he always felt something was wrong. His brow wrinkled slightly. His elder brother Xia Hanyu had already guessed something, but he didn't speak.

Xia Qiqi and Feng Xun exchange a tacit understanding look. They know that Jonny won't lie about this kind of thing. He says it's gambling, and it must be gambling

Just bet to such a valuable gift, let the seventh day of the summer also some laughing and crying.

"Johnny, thank you for the gift you prepared for the children. It's just that the antique is too expensive..." the tone of the seventh day of the summer was hesitant.

Chen Qiaosheng was afraid that she would refuse. Before she finished, he waved his hand and said with a smile, "it's nothing. No matter how expensive it is, it's for children to play with. I think they must like it very much!"

On the seventh day of the summer, he could only look at Feng Xun, but Feng Xun patted her on the shoulder placidly, nodded to Chen Qiao and said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, I'll thank you for the two children and prepare such a thoughtful gift!"

"You're welcome, children like it..." Chen Qiao saw that Feng Xun was finally willing to accept the gift, but he couldn't help laughing. He just didn't know if he was laughing too much, and his face was not right.

Feng Xun was acutely aware that he was a little strange since he came to the banquet. He said in a deep voice, "Mr. Chen, if you are full, why don't you let the pickup take you to the guest room to wash and change clothes first, and then come down later. There are other activities!"

"All right!" Chen Qiao nodded, followed the housekeeper pickup to say goodbye to the people, and went directly to the upstairs guest room.

When Chen Qiao left, all the people at the banquet began to talk about this strange guest. Rosen went to Feng Xun and asked, "Feng Xun, what's the origin of that man just now? Why can he gamble on this antique?"

Feng Xun didn't answer. Meng Yuan sighed: "Rosen, I thought I'd go out with your sister for adventure. You'd know when Feng Xun had such a friend. You didn't know it!"

"I think he is very interesting. He even gave the gambling to the children as a gift..." Luo Wen picked her eyebrows and said excitedly, "what should I do? I want to know him a little bit!"

Meng Yuan, with a black line on his face, gently pinched the palm of Luo Wen's hand and said, "Hey, you say that you are interested in other men in front of your man, don't you give me too much face?"

"Where do you think you are?" Luo Wen chuckled and nudged Meng Yuan.

Seeing that all his friends were blindly guessing the origin of Chen Qiao, Feng Xun said slowly, "he is really my friend and my little girl. He once helped us a lot, so he is our guest of honor!"

"So it is..." Rosen and Luowen nodded clearly. Meng Yuan thought about it and said thoughtfully: "I think he said this sentence from gambling, it's so easy. I'm afraid he's an expert in gambling."

On the seventh day of the summer, hearing their conjecture, he gave a low smile, but he didn't intend to hide it from Feng Xun's friends. He nodded and explained in a low voice: "to be exact, the first time I met him was at the gambling table. He was really powerful..."

"What? At the table? " Rosen and Meng Yuan looked at the seventh day of the summer in surprise.

At the beginning of the summer, he nodded slightly and looked at Feng Xun. Seeing that he looked as usual, he continued to explain: "at that time, I was trapped in Pedro's Casino Hotel. With his help, I contacted Feng Xun and saved me. That's how we got along. He is a trustworthy and courageous friend!"

"No wonder!" Rosen and Meng Yuan understand something, and it's no wonder that Feng Xun will treat this highly skilled gambler as a guest of honor.

"It turns out that he is good at gambling. I really want to have a try with him later..." Luo Wen even feels itchy. Meng Yuan shakes her head in a funny way and says in a low voice: "today is a full moon banquet for two children. It's not an ordinary banquet. Gambling is forbidden!"

"I'm just saying it casually. I don't want to play in front of the children!" Luo Wen winked a smile.
