[Chapter 183 Mrs. Huo is going to announce her grandson's wife]
Lin Yin has already opened her brocade box.
Inside the white brocade box is a kesi sachet.
"Mrs. Huo, this is my birthday gift to you. I hope you like it."
Without waiting for Mrs. Huo to speak, Li Bingyue couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Ms. Lin, everyone can understand that you are from the countryside and don't have a lot of money, but for the old lady's 70th birthday, you gave her an ordinary sachet. It's really disrespectful to her."
Everyone looked at Lin Yin.
Everyone's eyes were filled with surprise.
Everyone in the banquet hall is a well-known figure. Pick any one of them out and they will be regarded as a dignitary or a capitalist in the eyes of the common people.
I never expected that Lin Yin was actually a country bumpkin.
Huo Jingze actually fell in love with a girl from the countryside!
It's incredible.
The sachet that Lin Yin gave was made of kesi silk, with Suzhou embroidery technique and gold thread. It was actually not a cheap item.
It just seems cheap among the gifts worth millions.
Of course, in the eyes of these dignitaries, it is shabby.
For a moment, everyone looked at Lin Yin with mocking eyes.
Li Bingyue crossed her arms over her chest, with a particularly strong mockery in her eyes, as if she was enjoying a good show.
Old Mrs. Huo will definitely be unhappy with such a shabby gift.
Neither Huo Qingyun nor Old Mrs. Huo liked what Lin Yin said, let alone thinking of entering the Huo family.
"You didn't just buy it from some street stall and give it to the old lady. It's a 70th birthday gift after all. You're being too stingy and disrespectful."
Li Bingyue added fuel to the fire by devaluing Lin Yin's gift and creating an image that Lin Yin was stingy and ignorant of etiquette.
Huo Qingyun frowned and glanced at Lin Yin with displeasure.
He didn't like Lin Yin in the first place, and he disliked her even more when he saw how rude and stingy she was.
Huo Jingze wanted to speak for Lin Yin, but Lin Yin squeezed his palm, then gave the old lady a sweet smile and explained slowly.
"I heard from Jingze that you suffer from insomnia and severe headaches for many years, so I made this sachet. The herbs in it can calm the mind, help you sleep, relieve headaches, and beautify your skin."
Just as Mrs. Huo was about to speak, Li Bingyuexian spoke first, sneering, "It's just a worthless sachet. You have the final say on its effectiveness. Who can prove it? What if the herbs used in it are cheap? I'm afraid it will not only have no effect, but will also be bad for the old lady's health."
Lin Yin said calmly, "If there is anyone here who knows Chinese medicine and medicinal herbs, you can open the sachet and take a look."
There was actually an old Chinese doctor in the banquet hall.
"Let me take a look."
The old Chinese doctor took the sachet, took out the herbs inside, was surprised after looking at the ratio of the herbs, and then put it to his nose and sniffed it.
After checking, the old Chinese doctor tied the sachet again and handed it to Mrs. Huo.
"All the medicinal materials used in it are of the best quality. It is indeed as Miss Lin said. It has the effects of calming the mind, helping sleep, relieving headaches and beautifying the skin."
The old Chinese doctor paused, looked at Lin Yin, and said with a little excitement: "May I ask what is the relationship between Miss Lin and Mr. Ni? My wife once suffered from severe insomnia due to unknown reasons. By coincidence, she met Mr. Ni once, and he gave me a prescription. The medicinal materials are exactly the same as those used in Miss Lin's sachet!"
Ni Lu is a well-known figure across the country and his fame is extraordinary.
Everyone's eyes turned to Lin Yin again, some even with a burning gaze, as they all speculated whether he was Ni Lu's apprentice.
Li Bingyue also looked at Lin Yin in surprise.
Lin Yin smiled slightly and denied it, "I just got this prescription by chance, and I don't know Mr. Ni."
Everyone was a little disappointed, but Li Bingyue was relieved.
She said, how could Lin Yin be Ni Lu's apprentice? A wild girl from the country was not worthy at all.
Li Kang from Jishidiang was once a student taught by Ni Lu, so Lin Yin must have gotten the prescription from him.
"Grandma, if you don't like this sachet, why not give it to me?"
The person who spoke was Nangong Jialuo. He stood beside the old lady, his peach blossom eyes smiling.
"Who said I don't like it? Put it in my room now, and no one is allowed to miss it."
The servant in charge of taking care of the old lady nodded repeatedly, carefully took the sachet, turned and left the crowd.
The old lady looked at Lin Yin with a particularly kind smile, "You are thoughtful, and I like it. The value of a gift lies in the thought, not the price."
When she said the last sentence, Mrs. Huo glanced at Li Bingyue intentionally or unintentionally.
Li Bingyue's smile froze on her face and she felt her face burning.
The jade necklace she gave was worth 15 million, but Mrs. Huo didn't even look at it.
The broken sachet that Lin Yin gave me was used to treat the disease, and it was treated like a treasure.
I spent the money but didn't please anyone.
Li Bingyue gritted her teeth in anger!
The gift-giving process was still going on, but those who had given gifts no longer gathered around and dispersed on their own accord to allow the air to circulate.
Li Bingyue had just been slapped in the face, so she naturally didn't want to stay there any longer and turned around to go to the bathroom.
After washing my hands, I ran into Lin Yin.
Lin Yin ignored her and stepped forward to go in.
"Don't be too proud. Even if you have won the favor of Mrs. Huo, the head of the Huo family is Uncle Huo. As long as he doesn't nod, you will never be recognized by the Huo family."
Li Bingyue grabbed Lin Yin's wrist. She looked down at her in her high heels with a look of contempt.
"Oh." Lin Yin waved her hand away and went into the bathroom without any reaction.
Li Bingyue felt like she had punched cotton and her teeth were itching with hatred.
She snorted coldly at Lin Yin's back and left with an unhappy look on her face.
…
The old lady was in poor health, so she went upstairs to rest after the gift-giving ceremony.
Huo Jingze brought Lin Yin to see her and introduced her formally: "Grandma, her name is Lin Yin, and she is my girlfriend."
The old lady liked Lin Yin very much. She immediately perked up and held Lin Yin's hand with a kind smile, "Good child, you are so pretty."
"Grandma, you are going to have a great-grandson soon." Huo Jingze lowered his eyes and looked at Lin Yin's profile, his eyes were tender and affectionate.
The old lady's eyes fell on Lin Yin's belly and she was very surprised. "Really? It's been a few months!"
Lin Yin answered obediently, "Almost two months, old lady."
"You kid, why are you still calling me old lady? You should follow Jingze and call me grandma."
What old person doesn’t like children? Their faces are full of smiles.
He immediately took off the jade bracelet on his wrist and put it on Lin Yin's hand.
The color of the jade bracelet is very bright and it is obviously worth a lot of money at first glance.
Lin Yin didn't dare to take it, and wanted to pick it off and return it to the old lady, "This is too valuable. I can't accept it."
The old lady held her hand and said lovingly, "Good child, this is a family heirloom that is only passed down to daughters-in-law in our Huo family. It should have been passed down to you by Jingze's mother, but... you are the one Jingze has chosen, so you are naturally qualified to wear it."
Lin Yin still felt something was wrong and felt uneasy.
"You are my fiancée and the mother of the eldest grandson of the Huo family. No one is more qualified than you." Huo Jingze held her hand, his voice gentle and soothing.
Since both Mrs. Huo and Huo Jingze said so, Lin Yin accepted it and said obediently, "Thank you, grandma."
The old lady looked at her granddaughter-in-law and was more and more satisfied. She took her hand and stood up: "We have to hold the birthday banquet today to let everyone know that I also have a granddaughter-in-law."
