Chapter 1106 The Murderer in the Dark 17
For people of this era, it may be difficult to sort out the intersections. After all, everyone knows so many people, and then so many people die. How many people are there? It is not easy to sort out the intersections of so many people.

But for Linlang, who has an intelligent computer, this is not a difficult task. She just inputs the people she wants to investigate, and then lists the people these people have come into contact with one by one. She then lets the intelligent computer list these people and the people they have common connections with. It doesn't take long to run, and the results are displayed in a few seconds.

The results are not unique and require further investigation by Linlang.

But at least, the murderer can be narrowed down to a few people - if there really is a murderer - which will make it much easier for her to find him.

She knew that some of the deaths she collected might have died of natural causes and were not necessarily murdered, so the result might not be completely accurate. But it was better than having too many people in Beijing and too many things to investigate, and not knowing where to start.

Linlang immediately began to monitor these people to see if there was anything unusual.

Without mentioning that Linlang already had a new surveillance target, he only said that it was the end of the year and the mansion was obviously much busier. Fortunately, Linlang was just a small fry and these things had nothing to do with her.

The Crown Prince's Consort was very busy. She had to distribute clothes and jewelry for the last time this year to each family - of course, some people at some levels did not get any, but all the children definitely got some; the mansion had its own land, and she had to distribute the things sent from the farm to each family; she had to distribute the New Year's gifts; and she had to arrange various matters for the New Year; there were so many things to do that she was too busy to spare.

This year is the first time she has celebrated such a big festival since she took over as the head of the family. Although she has practiced it once during the previous Mid-Autumn Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival was a small festival and this is a big festival, which is still different. So she is particularly worried, afraid that she will not do well and be laughed at. After all, everyone wants to save face.

The Crown Prince's Consort has so many things to do, and Linlang just has to wait to receive her gifts every day.

First, she got two sets of clothes from the sewing room, and then she got an ornament for the child from the jewelry room. Of course, the one Linlang took was still made of pure gold.

After that, she received her own sixty-two-year allowance and her son's twenty-four-two-year allowance.

Then Linlang exchanged them all for gold.

For now, ten taels of silver can be exchanged for one tael of gold, but the rumor of gold price increase has already emerged. It is estimated that after the New Year, eleven taels of silver will be needed to exchange for one tael of gold. Naturally, Linlang has to exchange the silver before the New Year.

There will be another wave of income soon during the Chinese New Year.

Of course, it’s not her income, but the child.

During the Chinese New Year, children can receive red envelopes everywhere. After all, it is a prince's mansion, and the people they interact with are all at this level. No matter whose house they go to, they basically get red envelopes filled with gold and silver ingots. Linlang doesn't need to prepare return gifts, because it is exchanges between mansions, and the money is paid by the public.

Otherwise, why do so many people want to have children? Because having children means extra income. Otherwise, if you don’t have children, you won’t receive red envelopes when you visit relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year.

Yes, visit each family to wish them a happy new year.

In addition to having children in the mansion pay New Year's greetings to Prince Qingjiang, Prince Qingjiang will also give New Year's red envelopes to all underage children, and children who visit other mansions to pay New Year's greetings will also receive them.

As mentioned before, the Qingjiang Palace was a branch of another prince's palace.

And that prince's mansion was the Qingwang Mansion. The current head prince of the Qingwang Mansion had the same great-grandfather as Prince Qingjiang, so he was Prince Qingjiang's cousin.

Since they are the main clan, it is natural for us to go and pay New Year’s greetings during the Chinese New Year.

Not only does he have to pay New Year's greetings to the main clan home of the Qingwang Mansion, but he also has to pay New Year's greetings to the homes of the Qingjiang County Prince's brothers, his uncle, and even other cousins ​​from the same great-grandfather. After all, he is not yet out of the five degrees of mourning.

Every generation has a lot of children, so there are a lot of families to visit during the New Year, which naturally leads to the children receiving a lot of red envelopes.

Of course, as a low-ranking concubine in the backyard, it was not easy for Linlang to go along, so she was taken there by the nanny and others.

Fortunately, Linlang has sent robots for invisible protection, so nothing will happen.

During the New Year alone, when visiting each household to wish a happy new year, the children would receive dozens of purses. In each purse, at least two silver ingots could be found, but most would contain one gold ingot and one silver ingot. The wealthy would even give a pair of gold ingots and a pair of silver ingots.

After all this, the harvest was almost dozens of taels of gold. From this we can see the benefits of having a child. The income of those who have children and those who don't is completely different.

Of course, the mansion also has to pay out a large number of red envelopes. Fortunately, the salaries of all the people with titles in the family are paid into the public treasury, and the Qingjiang Palace also has some estates with income, so they can afford to give out New Year red envelopes. Otherwise, Prince Qingjiang alone would not be able to afford to pay so many red envelopes. It is estimated that the only way to reduce expenses is to visit fewer relatives.

So from this we can see that this is actually a disguised way of dividing the family property. After all, the return red envelopes are given by the mansion. The mansion gives red envelopes to other families, and their own children then receive red envelopes from other families. Isn't this equivalent to dividing the family property?

If a concubine gave birth to many children, she would earn more - so if there was a concubine in the mansion who gave birth to both a son and a daughter, she would earn the most, because she had both a son and a daughter, which was equivalent to getting two shares, making many people envious.

Although the red envelope the girl receives may not be as much as the boy's, it is better than having only one boy who can only receive one share.

So many people want to have another child so that they can receive more red envelopes.

However, Linlang felt that under the conditions in ancient times, it would be fine to have one child, but having more would be too dangerous.

So it's a good thing that Linlang came. If Linlang hadn't come, with the original body's personality, all the money might have been given to her parents' home. So, the child could have received a lot of red envelopes every year, and saved them from childhood to adulthood, and could have saved a lot of household items for the child. But because the original body gave all the money to her parents' home, the child grew up without a penny, and it would be strange if he didn't blame her.

Speaking of the Fang family, Linlang had sent holiday gifts back home during previous Mid-Autumn Festivals and Chinese New Years.

Although it was impossible for Linlang to give any more money to the Fang family, she would never be short of gifts for festivals and birthdays.

Because if it is missing, the Fang family will definitely come to the palace to make trouble again.

It was right for her not to give money to her parents' home, and no one would blame her for anything. But if she didn't give gifts on the three festivals and two birthdays, that would be too much. People would definitely say that she was not good. Linlang didn't want to damage her original reputation, so she still gave gifts on the three festivals and two birthdays.

Anyway, the mansion would distribute some things during the New Year and other festivals, and Linlang couldn't use up some of the things. She could pack them all up and give them to the Fang family. It would be both decent and save her any money. It was quite convenient.
