There are about a hundred people in the family, and if every one of them has to come forward and say a few words, then they won't be able to do anything else that morning. Therefore, Ding Yun naturally has to follow her original practice and talk to most of the people first.

Send away.

As people get older, they have more descendants.

How can I remember that a bowl of water is leveled or something like that?

Rather than favoring one over the other and making others jealous, it is better not to favor anyone and treat them equally. Therefore, starting from the great-grandchildren, the original person has basically treated them equally and is not very close to those younger generations on weekdays.

Most of them just leave their children and grandchildren to talk.

So as soon as she said these words, the juniors outside the door quickly bowed and dispersed.

Only the two sons, the third daughter-in-law, and eight grandsons and seven granddaughter-in-laws remained in the house, indicating that they were old and had nothing to do.

I stayed with my mother and grandmother.

Then came the pleasantries. The daughter-in-law asked Ding Yun how he was feeling and whether his appetite was good recently. Ding Yun replied with a few words: "Okay, he has a good appetite. How are you?"

After chatting about health, we started talking about gossip, chatting about the recent lively events in the capital, etc. After chatting about gossip, we talked about the late birth of the younger generation in the family, the marriage of great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.

Anyway, there are many children at home, and some of them are chatting.

While chatting, Ding Yun suddenly said:

"I just took a quick look and saw that there are too many children and grandchildren in my family. Is there enough room for them in this house?

Even if it is still enough to live in, when most of my great-great-grandson Junya and his generation get married and have children, it may not be enough to live in. Do you have to make plans early?"

"To put it bluntly, even if I were to live a hundred years at my age, I would only have a few more years to live. It would be impossible for me to live like Peng Zu, with a lifespan of eight hundred or something like that.

As soon as I die, this princess mansion must be taken back.

How much assets does our family have now? How many real estates and the like do we have? Is it enough to live separately? If not, it is better to buy it early. I am afraid it will only become more and more difficult to buy a house in the capital in the future.

If you buy it, you can’t buy a house outside the city later.”

Ding Yun felt tired when he looked at such a large group of descendants, and they were all very young. His sons, grandsons, and great-grandchildren were all old. There were so many people who didn't consider their options in advance and let them go out and stand on their own feet.

I have been living my life chewing her, which year is the end?

Even if she survives, she can't really let them keep chewing her. Some things still have to be adapted to in advance, and some consequences have to be accepted in advance.

First go through the experience and experience the feeling.

It's better than being at a loss when the time comes.

"Mother, how can you say that? You will definitely live a long time, but don't say anything unlucky!"

"Yes, mother, you..."

The people present had actually been worried about what Ding Yun mentioned, but it was the right thing not to mention death in front of an elderly person, so naturally all the children and grandchildren present quickly denied Ding Yun's words and said some auspicious words.

However, Ding Yun didn't care about this and interrupted directly:

"That's enough, that's enough. Stop talking. I've lived for more than ninety years, so what can I say? It's normal for people to grow old, get sick, and die. I'm satisfied that I can live longer than most people. There's no need to avoid anything.

.

At my age, even if I die.

That is also joy and mourning.

I'm not joking with you, and don't treat me like an old fool. Do you have an answer to the question I just asked? What's the situation at home like?

Come to think of it, I haven't taken care of a house in 40 or 50 years.

I can't see anything else, but your daily food and drink expenses, including the marriages of your children and grandchildren, are getting worse and worse. I still know it well, so let's talk about it.

While my head is still clear.

Let’s see if there’s anything we can do to help!”

No matter what the lives of other people in the family are like, the life of the original person has always been good anyway, because the original person is supported by the clan government, and there is also such a large private property, not only his life is different from decades ago

There is no difference. Every year, tens of thousands of taels of silver can be transferred out and put into the private treasury for the whole family to use.

But even so, as the population grows.

In the absence of a substantial increase in one's own assets, everyone's treatment will still be divided much thinner.

In fact, these original bodies are all visible, but she can't do anything about them. She can only pretend that she doesn't see them and doesn't care.

It's not that Ding Yun had any ideas.

She just wanted to understand the specific situation first.

"Mom, I really don't know about this."

Seeing that Ding Yun insisted on asking, her eldest daughter-in-law, who was originally in charge of the central government, could only helplessly shake her head and respond:

"Mother, there is something we have never told you, that is, since more than forty years ago, our family's annual income has actually been somewhat beyond our means.

Although there are reasons for the increase in population, there are also reasons for some people not being restrained and not being frugal.

So I took it upon myself to divide the housekeeping rights.

Every year, I get 40% of the house’s income, and the second and third uncle’s families each get 30%. Then I distribute the 40% of the income to my son and daughter-in-law, and they continue to share it down. The second and third uncle’s families should

is also like this.

After dividing the money, I don't care. It doesn't matter whether they use it enough or save it and don't use it.

Over the years, because it is difficult to have a surplus, I even have to add some dowry to some big events, so I have tried my best just to keep the ancestral property unchanged. I have no ability to increase the ancestral property, but there are more and more people.

So it’s normal for the younger generation to look poorer.”

"I only have one general ledger here, and the other detailed accounts are in the hands of their respective housekeepers. It all depends on how they divide it. I haven't interfered in it for decades.

As for the real estate issue, the number of real estate belonging to the Princess Mansion has not increased in recent years, but it has not decreased either. As for whether they have purchased real estate privately.

I’m not sure about this.”

Since the ancestor really wanted to ask, Jin Qin naturally did not dare to hide it, or in other words, she had never thought of hiding anything. She was not corrupt, let alone guilty.

What are you afraid of?

"How much was your total income last year?"

Ding Yun asked again.

"Including what you gave me, the total is sixty-three thousand taels.

I calculated the total for each of my second uncle's and third uncle's families. One family was given 20,000 taels, and my family was given 23,000 taels. Compared with other families where the eldest son accounted for 70%, my division was quite fair, and

This has been the case every year.

I only have two sons in total, and I also have some private property, so I only left one thousand taels, and the remaining 22,000 taels were divided equally between them.

They probably kept two thousand taels each.

Then continue to distribute it to the grandchildren below."

Jin Qin continued to reply.

"If we divide it according to this calculation, the children of the great-great-grandchildren and the couple together will probably only get a thousand taels of silver. However, a thousand taels of silver should be enough for daily expenses as long as they are not too extravagant."
