Zhou Ying, the descendant of the richest man in Shaanxi Province, introduced two descendants to Zhou Ying, one is adopted son Wu Huaixian, and the other is adopted daughter Xiuqiao.
In the film, Wu Pin is ill, and Zhou Ying hires Wu Pin? Rush to Xi? And married him, so, in reality, as a good family, how did Zhou Ying marry Wu Fu?
There is a legend in Jingyang that Zhou Ying's parents died young and were raised by his brother and sister-in-law. /kloc-At the age of 0/7, his brother and sister-in-law decided to marry Wu Pin, who was seriously ill. Rush to Xi? . Tao Zan said that Zhou Ying was appointed to get married at an early age, and her husband became seriously ill as an adult, and died shortly after marriage.
However, Wu Guohua, a descendant of Zhou Ying, deliberately refuted this rumor. She said that Zhou Ying's original epitaph said that Wu Pin died after marrying Zhou Ying for three years. Wu Pin and Zhou Ying had a daughter who died before she was one year old, which was recorded in Wu Mi's diary. Wu Guohua said that when Wu Pin was alive, Zhou Ying adopted Wu Yucheng, a two-year-old nephew of the Intermediate People's Court, as his adopted son, and changed his name to Huai Xian, who was her grandfather. Zhou Ying also adopted a daughter named Xiuqiao when Wu Huaixian/Kloc-0 was 0/0 years old, because she longed to miss her daughter.
Wu Huai, the adopted son of Zhou Ying, the richest woman in Shaanxi Province, is a famous salt merchant in Shaanxi Province. Zhou Ying is the daughter of Zhoumei Village, a salt merchant with red top. It is also appropriate for her to marry Wu Pin. Before they got married, Wu Pin was very ill, and Zhou Ying remained loyal to him. Who knows, Wu Pin's father was killed on a business trip, and Wu Pin died after hearing the news. At this time, he took over the development of the Wu family without hesitation and developed it into one of the few commercial families.
When he took over the property of the Wu family, he took a two-year-old nephew of the Wu family as an adopted son and raised him carefully. After Zhou Ying's death, Wu Xianhuai inherited the Wu family's property. Influenced by this, Wu Xianhuai did not forget the common people while developing Wu's industry. During the famine, he opened a warehouse to store food. At that time, the people had not starved to death.
In addition, according to his will, he distributed all the Wu family's industries to the poor and Wu people. In order to support the anti-Japanese war, our adopted son donated the military ring, and finally he donated the Wu family courtyard. He said that he respected his adoptive mother Zhou Ying the most in his life because of her influence.
Two years after the legend of Zhou Ying, the richest woman in Shaanxi, was published (19 10), Zhou Ying, the widow of Wu An, died at the age of 42. With the curtain call of her life, she distributed the huge property she had worked hard for decades to all the servants, and the land was shared by the villagers. When she left the Zhou family, she was seventeen years old and stayed in the Wu family for twenty-five years. With her unyielding personality, she propped up the stormy Wu family. According to local people, on the day of Wu An's widow Zhou Ying's funeral, about 80,000 people came to pay their respects. This kind of funeral is not unique to Guanzhong Road, but also unprecedented.
However, the widow of the Wu family was unfortunate after her death. The Wu cemetery built by her own hands is an organic part of Wu Manor. There are many pines and cypresses in the park, and stone horses, stone tablets and stone workshops are majestic and full of momentum, still showing a style that cannot be ignored. However, her grave cannot enter the Wu family cemetery, but is buried more than 200 meters east of the cemetery. So far, there is no trace. Relying on its commercial accumulation, Zhou Ying has bought a lot of real estate, with hundreds of acres of land, mainly around Anwubao, Koukou Garden and Yuye River, cultivated by male and female craftsmen working for it.
In order to highlight the atmosphere, she specially sent people to Beijing to see the pattern of the Forbidden City, and then imitated the construction of Sanjin quadrangle, which consists of four courtyards, named Wu Manor, which is extremely luxurious; A garden was built in Koujia Village, two kilometers southeast of Anwubao, with pavilions, winding corridors, rockery fish ponds and greenhouses. Wu Guohua said that Zhou Ying adopted her grandfather Wu Huaixian as his son. Wu Huai has inherited Zhou Ying's family business all his life. Wu's manor also left a middle court in the long river of history, and the rest were given to others.
Building water conservancy, running education, building Confucian temples and helping the army to pay salaries all made Zhou Ying famous in Guanzhong area? A businesswoman? . Although Zhou Ying did many good things in his life, he didn't get a happy ending. At the age of 42, she came to the end of her life.
Like her marriage, she was unhappy after her death. Even though there were many cypress trees, stone horses, stone tablets and stone workshops in the Wujia Garden, which covered an area of 50 mu at that time, it was magnificent, but there was no room for a childless widow. It is said that she was finally buried in the northeast 200 meters away from Wu Jiazu's grave, and now her grave is gone. A series of social unrest in the late Qing Dynasty had a devastating impact on Qin merchants. After Zhou Ying's death, her family business failed to escape the trend of the times and eventually declined. The business empire she established before her death is undoubtedly a bright spot on the decline of Qin merchants.
Because he had no children, he adopted the nephew of the Wu family compound as his adopted son. After taking over Wu Manor, he donated it. 1937 After Luochuan Conference, the Northwest Youth Training Class was moved from Yan 'an to Jingyang, which was founded in June of 1937 and moved to Wu Manor in the spring of 1938, and its scale was expanded.
Hot-blooded young people from all over the country need to attend political and military training here before going to Yan 'an. The trainees of Wu Anqing's annual training course include young people who escaped from the enemy's iron hoof and occupied areas, and patriotic overseas Chinese who returned from a foreign land; There are workers, farmers, shop assistants and vendors; There are artists, engineers, overseas students, officers and soldiers.
At most, the number of youth training courses reached 1500, and the trainees reached12,000. They were sent to Yan 'an, the anti-Japanese front, the base areas behind enemy lines, friendly Kuomintang troops and other places to participate in and carry out the anti-Japanese and national salvation struggle. At that time, he was the deputy director of the Hu Qiaomu Training Course in Renqing County, Liu Ruilong and the director of the Academic Affairs Office.
It was because Wu Manor later became a youth training class that it was preserved. Wu Zhongfeng, a 77-year-old man from Anwubao Village, is a descendant of Wujia North Yard. He said that at that time, the Chuanjing salt business in the North Hospital and the Huai salt business in the East Hospital were not as large as those in the East Hospital, but they had a great influence at that time and the courtyard was luxurious. However, during the Agrarian Revolution, except the house in the East Courtyard, the houses in the other four courtyards of the Wu family were destroyed, divided into small rooms and distributed to people with mixed surnames in other villages. So now there are few descendants of Wu in Anwubao village, but there are many people with mixed surnames.
Zhoujia Courtyard is located in Mengdian Village, about 4 kilometers southwest of Luqiao Town, northwest of Sanyuan County. It was built in the late Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty and the early Jiaqing period (1787~ 1798), with a history of more than 200 years. Tao Zan introduced that the original house in Zhou Jia was 17 courtyard, and a huge ancient architectural complex was formed in Mengdian village at that time. Meng Dian Zhou? . In the 11th year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (1872), sixteen courtyards were burnt down due to the war, and now there are only 1 courtyards left, which is now the Zhou Jia Siheyuan Folk Museum.
