Little Sizi came to my house and became the family's darling, and Li Shimin got anxious.

After finishing her meal and clearing the table, Li Yinxun took out her spare phone.

"Sizi, come here, Auntie will teach you how to play something fun." She clicked on a game icon.

Different colored squares appeared on the screen and were falling down.

"What's this?" the little princess asked curiously as she leaned closer.

"This is called Tetris," Li Yinxun explained the rules simply. "Look, these blocks fall down, and you have to put them together to form a complete row, then that row will disappear. If you stack them all at the top, the game ends."

She demonstrated it once, sliding her finger across the screen to rotate and move the blocks, quickly eliminating several lines.

The little princess watched intently, her big eyes unblinking.

"I want to give it a try!" she said eagerly.

Li Yinxun handed her the spare phone, thinking that the child would probably get bored after playing it for a couple of rounds.

The little princess picked it up so quickly that she was amazed.

The little princess's fingers flew across the screen, her eyes fixed on the falling blocks, and her little head was working fast too.

She seems to have a natural sense of space and shape; before the cube even hits the bottom, she already knows where to put it.

She was a little clumsy at first, but after playing a couple of rounds, she became more and more skilled.

"It's gone!" she muttered to herself, her fingers moving swiftly to insert a vertical strip into the gap, instantly eliminating four lines.

The score on the screen skyrocketed.

Li Yinxun was stunned by what she saw.

"Sizi, you...you've played this before?" She suspected that Sizi had traveled through time before.

"No, not at all." The little princess didn't even look up, her attention completely focused on the game. "This is so much fun!"

She cleared several more rows in a row, and the game difficulty gradually increased. The blocks fell faster and faster, but the little princess's operating speed also increased, and she was still able to keep up.

Li Yinxun thought to herself, "Wow!"

Is this what they call gaming talent?

Seeing that she was engrossed in playing, Li Yinxun opened her laptop and transferred all the ID photos she had taken that day from her phone to the computer.

I carefully cropped each photo to the size of a one-inch photo, adjusted the brightness and clarity, matched the names and photos one by one, packaged them into a file, and sent it to Brother Peng.

After sending the message successfully, Li Yinxun stretched and turned to look at the little princess.

I was stunned when I saw it.

She broke her score record.

Li Yinxun was stunned, but seeing that the little princess was playing very attentively, she did not disturb her.

I've heard that it's best not to interrupt children when they're focused on doing something, as this helps develop their attention span.

She picked up her phone, and just then, Peng sent her a message.

Two words: Received.

Li Yinxun transferred one million to him directly.

Peng received the message instantly and sent a message saying that she would receive all her identity documents in a week.

Li Yinxun put down her phone, looked at the remaining five million in her account, then at the little princess and the small apartment, and began to make plans in her mind.

It's time to buy a house.

Otherwise, when Li Lizhi and Empress Zhangsun came, there wouldn't be any spare rooms available even if they wanted to stay for one night.

The apartment is currently only a one-bedroom unit, which is fine for her and her little princess to squeeze in, but it won't be able to accommodate any more people.

But wanting to buy a good house in Guangzhou with more than five million yuan is simply wishful thinking.

In Guangzhou, a three-bedroom apartment in a slightly better location starts at seven or eight million yuan. If you want to buy a school district property or a large flat, even ten million yuan might not be enough.

Li Yin thought for a moment, then got up and went into the bedroom, taking out the box of Northern Pearls that Yu Zhang had given her from the storage cabinet.

Upon opening the brocade box, a dozen or so round and plump pearls from the North Sea were revealed, their lustrous sheen shimmering softly under the light.

She took a few photos and sent them to the master craftsman at Juzhen Pavilion.

After thinking about it, I messaged Peng again, asking him if he knew of any reliable auction houses abroad.

After sending the message, she went back to the living room and had just sat down when the little princess ran into the room with her phone in her hand.

"Auntie! My toy chicken is broken!"

The little princess scrunched up in anxiety, holding her phone up to Li Yinxun. The screen was completely black, and no matter how she pressed it, nothing happened.

Li Yinxun took it, glanced at it, and couldn't help but laugh.

"It's not broken, it's just out of power."

She stroked the little princess's head, got up, grabbed the charger, and plugged it in while teaching her.

"Look, put this end into the phone and the other end into the hole in the wall, and the phone can be charged."

The little princess squatted by the wall, staring curiously at the socket, and reached out her little hand to touch it.

Li Yinxun quickly grabbed her hand, her expression immediately turning serious.

"Sizi, remember this: only the charging head can go into this hole. Absolutely, absolutely do not put your fingers, or anything else—like a stick or a key—in there! Got it?"

Si Zi was startled by her serious expression and nodded blankly.

Li Yinxun felt that talking wasn't enough, so she simply made a gesture as if she was about to poke a hole in a socket with her finger, then exaggeratedly screamed "Ah!" and fell to the ground, her limbs twitching, her eyes rolling back, and her tongue sticking out a little.

"Like this! You'll die!"

She lay on the ground in a comical "electrocution" pose, speaking in a muffled voice.

Si Zi was initially startled by her, but then, seeing her exaggerated performance, she couldn't help but giggle.

"Auntie, that's so funny."

Li Yinxun didn't laugh. He squatted down and looked at her seriously.

"Sizi, you really can't touch this, okay? Please promise Auntie."

The little princess could tell that her aunt was serious, so she stopped smiling and nodded obediently.

"I've remembered, don't touch it."

Li Yinxun was relieved, but when she saw the little princess staring at the socket, she immediately regretted it.

Oh no, could this be having the opposite effect? ​​The more I'm told not to touch it, the more I want to touch it?

She tentatively asked, "Sizi, would you like to try poking it?"

The little princess shook her head, pointed at the phone, and said no, she wanted to play more.

Li Yinxun breathed a sigh of relief and quickly opened Tetris for her to continue playing, while blocking the socket with her body to keep it out of sight.

She picked up her phone and found that Juzhen Pavilion and Brother Peng had both sent her messages.

The master craftsman at Juzhen Pavilion said that the pearls looked round and lustrous in the photos, and were of excellent quality. He asked if she could bring them to the store to see the actual pearls.

Li Yinxun arranged a time for tomorrow afternoon.

Peng sent a link with a sentence attached.

"This auction house has been around for over a hundred years. People both domestically and internationally with a little money know about it, and its reputation is quite good."

Even someone with a little money knows this?

How come she didn't know?

Five million is not a small amount of money?

Despite her complaints, Li Yinxun still thanked him politely and clicked on the link.

The auction house's website has a simple and elegant design, with a wide variety of auction items displayed on the homepage.

Jewelry, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, famous watches and fine wines—everything imaginable was available. Each item was marked with an estimated price, the numbers of which made Li Yinxun dizzy.

There are even incredibly expensive underwear being auctioned.

Li Yinxun: ...

Scroll down and you'll find the page for mail-in photography.

The rules are clearly stated: if you have items to consign for auction, you can take photos and make an appointment. The auction house will arrange for professionals to make a preliminary assessment of whether the items have auction value based on the photos.

If it is found to be valuable, someone will be sent to pick it up for appraisal.

After a successful auction, the auction house charges a 10% commission, and the remaining money is directly deposited into the auctioneer's account.
