When Little Pomegranate heard this, she pouted and looked unhappy.

Song Yan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was a good thing that it was Li Yunting, the sucker on the second floor, who bought the glass cup. Otherwise, if Xiao Shiliu insisted on spending two thousand taels to buy it, it would be a huge loss.

Song Yan looked at the pouting little pomegranate and shook her head helplessly. She took out a piece of candy from her small purse of snacks and handed it to her, coaxing her, "Don't be angry. I'll find you something more fun later."

Little Pomegranate was easy to coax. With just one candy, she smiled brightly and forgot about the matter of the glass cup.

While eating the candy, he couldn't help but secretly glance at Song Yan. He sat there in silence, waiting for Song Yan to continue coaxing him.

Song Yan saw through his little thoughts, but pretended not to know. If Xiao Shiliu was not Shu Changyu's younger brother, he might still tease the child as he did before.

But because of this relationship, and the fact that Shu Changyu didn't like him getting too close to Xiao Shiliu, Song Yan could only say sorry in his heart.

Zhan Qingyue, who was standing aside, watched the interaction between the two, a thoughtful look flashing across his eyes.

After all, he is a little prince from the palace. His words and deeds usually reveal dignity and reserve, and he rarely shows such childish behavior.

But now, she was completely defenseless in front of Master Song, and her emotions were all revealed on her face.

This is interesting.

After the last item was auctioned, the charity auction was coming to an end.

The buyers who had just bid on the items went to the backstage to pay their money and collect their winnings.

After the final account was settled, Xiao Chunzi walked onto the stage with a beaming face and said loudly, "Dear guests, the total amount we received from this charity auction is 8,520 taels of silver!"

"Thank you all for your generosity. All this money will be used to help the people affected by the disaster. At that time, the use of all funds will be open and transparent and subject to your supervision."

There was warm applause from the audience and everyone nodded in praise.

"Good! This is a very good move!" An old man with a long beard stood up and said in a loud voice, obviously appreciating this move very much.

When Lin Yifeng heard the old man's voice, he was so startled that he almost dropped the folding fan in his hand.

Song Yan was also attracted by the sudden sound. She stuck her head out to take a look and saw the old man with vigorous spirit and bright eyes. It was obvious that he was not an ordinary person.

Song Zhengdu asked in a low voice: "Mr. Lin, who is this old man?"

"Hey, he's the headmaster of our academy." Lin Yifeng coughed lightly and answered Song Zhengdu's question in a low voice, "I didn't expect him to come to the charity auction today."

The headmaster had always been a recluse, so Lin Yifeng only sent him an invitation and didn't expect him to come. Unexpectedly, the headmaster showed up in person.

Little Pomegranate heard Lin Yifeng's words with her sharp ears, and then raised her hand and said, "Since he is the headmaster of the county school, please invite him upstairs to have a chat."

Brother Luo obeyed the young master's instructions and went downstairs to invite the headmaster.

"I'll go with you." Lin Yifeng closed his folding fan and quickly followed Brother Luo.

As soon as Lin Yifeng left, the private room suddenly became quiet.

Zhan Qingyue was not a talkative person. He just sipped his tea silently without looking away.

As for Song Zhengdu, he remained silent. He just frowned and looked at Song Yan anxiously.

The strange atmosphere made Song Yan feel a little uncomfortable. He sighed silently and said to Little Pomegranate, "Your Highness, I have something important to attend to. I will take my leave first."

Xiao Shiliu was obviously stunned, as if he didn't expect Song Yan to leave so easily. He pursed his lips and wanted to say something, but because there were outsiders around, he could only watch Song Yan turn around and leave.

As the charity auction ended, the crowd gradually dispersed.

As soon as Song Yan walked down the first floor, he saw Zhong Hui talking to someone not far away.

The man had his back to Song Yan, so Song Yan did not see the man's face clearly at first.

When he walked over, Song Yan was about to say hello, but suddenly he was stunned.

He quickly bowed and saluted: "Master Lin!"

That’s right, this person is the Lin County Magistrate.

County Magistrate Lin raised his hand to signal Song Yan to excuse himself from the formalities: "No need to be polite. Today's charity auction is quite lively."

Song Yan smiled and replied, "Thank you for your praise, sir. It is also because of everyone's concerted efforts that we have achieved such results."

Even Zhong Hui, who was as shrewd and sophisticated as an old fox, was slightly startled when he learned that the person in front of him was County Magistrate Lin. He then immediately regained his composure and hurriedly saluted, saying, "I didn't know you were an elder. I apologize for the offense."

County Magistrate Lin waved his hand and said, "That's fine. I'm here incognito today and don't want to make a fuss. There's no need to be so formal."

After saying that, he turned to look at Song Yan and said, "You have done a great job in this charity auction, which is beneficial to the people."

Song Yan said modestly: "Your Excellency is too kind. It is our honor to do our part for the people."

County Magistrate Lin nodded slightly, his eyes full of praise: "Don't be too modest. The fact that you can do such a good deed shows that you have great righteousness in your heart."

Song Yan felt a little embarrassed by the praise from County Magistrate Lin. He chuckled and said, "Sir, this is all the credit of everyone. I am just trying my best to help. Well, it is Young Master Lin who has done more this time."

Magistrate Lin stroked his beard with a smile and said, "If it weren't for your suggestion, my troublesome evildoer wouldn't have behaved like this. In fact, you have done me a great favor."

Without waiting for Song Yan to speak again, County Magistrate Lin asked, "Is the prince upstairs?"

"The prince is in the private room upstairs."

"I have something else to do, so I won't go up to greet you. You guys stay here and serve me well."

Song Yan and Zhong Hui respectfully saw County Magistrate Lin off.

After County Magistrate Lin left, Song Yan asked curiously, "Brother Zhong, how did you get to talk to Lord Lin?"

"It was a coincidence," Zhong Hui said, "when the last glass cup was being auctioned, Lord Lin came in and sat next to me."

"He asked me about the charity auction, and I gave him a brief account."

At that time, Zhong Hui thought that this person was very polite, but he never thought that he was actually the county magistrate.

Song Yan smiled and said, "Lord Lin is an upright official who cares about the people. He came here incognito this time, probably to learn about the charity auction."

Zhong Hui deeply agreed that Magistrate Lin was indeed a good official. Not only in this charity auction, but also in his daily life, he did countless practical things for the people.

"By the way, isn't Brother Ying here?" Song Yan asked casually.

"He was impatient to deal with all this red tape, so he went out early in the morning to take care of his own business." Zhong Hui shrugged helplessly.

Song Yan smiled. Brother Ying has always been carefree and avoids all these social engagements.

After chatting with Zhong Hui for a few more words, Song Yan turned around and went backstage.

In the backstage, the guys were busy tidying up, arranging the sorted account books neatly and stacking the boxes of silver ready for moving.

"Have all the handovers been completed?" Song Yan asked as he walked in.

When Xiao Chunzi saw Song Yan coming in, he hurried over to greet her: "Boss, Master Li didn't bring enough silver and is going back to get it. Let's wait."
