Old Wu was able to find out the historical trajectory of the Wu family from the vast historical documents, which can be said to have taken great pains.
Perhaps because Lao Wu also has the surname of Wu, he is naturally sensitive to the Wu family. Therefore, after being entrusted by Xu Yishan, he spent a few days presenting a roll of dusty historical portraits in front of Xu Yishan.
To Xu Yishan's surprise, the old street where Wu's aunt currently lived belonged to the old Wu family's ancestral property.
Grandma Wu's father was an open-minded and decent businessman. He was the first person in the history of Maoshan to bring Maoshan tea oil to the outside world.
Maoshan camellia has been around since ancient times.
? It is said that during the Ming Dynasty, a county magistrate came to Maoshan. Seeing that the people in Maoshan have no oil to cook for half a year, I feel compassion. Camellia oleifera trees were introduced to my hometown and planted in front of and behind the house.
Three years later, the tea tree bears seeds. The county magistrate personally demonstrated picking seeds to extract oil. Since then, Maoshan tea oil has been handed down to this day.
By the time of Wu Jiagu's grandma and father, Maoshan tea oil was already famous.
Let's first call the father of the Wu family aunt's grandma as a great businessman Wu.
Grandma Wu's father was originally a merchant selling southern salt. At that time, the salt store of Wu Da merchant was the only place selling salt in Maoshan.
At that time, there were no carriages and horses to transport the southern salt, and it was purely by manpower. It takes one month to go back and forth.
Food and beverages on the road are all carried with you. Wu Da merchant likes to go on the road with the porter, mix with the porter, and carry the goods by himself.
One day, a group of people stayed at the junction of Hunan and Guangdong. The great businessman Wu took out the tea oil he had picked out and put it into the wok to stir-fry vegetables, and the fragrance immediately filled the whole county.
The local people who came after smelling the fragrance surrounded the Wu Da merchant and asked him what kind of oil the Wu Da merchant should eat? Its fragrance has the power to eat bones, and its color is like amber?
After someone tasted the dishes fried with this oil, they were amazed by the delicacy. Immediately willing to pay a lot of money to buy.
Businessman Wu Da was quick-witted and immediately sniffed out business opportunities. Then they took the porters back to Maoshan, and when they came again, everyone was already carrying the freshly squeezed tea oil from Maoshan.
After the first shot, it has been out of control ever since.
Maoshan tea oil has since come out of Maoshan and become a rich oil in the world that only rich people dare to enjoy.
Three years later, the Wu family has earned tens of millions of dollars. So he spent money to build a Wu Street in Maoshan City. That is today's Old Street.
Xu Yishan heard that the old street and Maoshan tea oil were actually related, so he didn't feel that he was paying attention.
Wu's family business was one of the best in Maoshan City at that time. It was a family workshop mainly producing and selling camellia oil. It is said that at that time, nearly half of the people in Maoshan City were long-term or short-term workers of the Wu family.
The Wu family is benevolent and generous, and never treats their servants badly. Therefore, he won the reputation of Wu Dashan.
It coincides with the war, and the whole country is in war. Maoshan is located in a remote place and is not keen on state affairs.
Wu Dashan stood up and raised his arms and shouted, "Everyone who serves as a soldier and eats food, if there are no males in the family, will be supported by the Wu family. If he dies in the Anti-Japanese War, the Wu family will give five hundred oceans per head."
People in Maoshan felt that Wu Dashan was honest and reliable, so they sent their children to serve as soldiers one after another.
Wu Dashan arranged for his eldest son to lead 5,000 soldiers, equipped with the best weapons and firearms at that time, and go to the front line of the Anti-Japanese War.
After three years, more than half of the 5,000 strong men who went out from Maoshan were killed or injured. But it also created countless battle classics, and was once hailed as the ace army.
The eldest son of the Wu family fought bravely and took the lead. He was promoted to the rank of major general and division commander.
No matter where the Maoshan children die, Master Wu will send people to send the ashes back to Maoshan for burial.
The great businessman of Wu also practiced his words that whenever he receives a funeral report, he will lead the whole city out of the city three miles to welcome the heroic soul back. Afterwards, according to the wording, the compensation will never fail.
Later, the historical materials provided by Lao Wu became vague.
In a few words, he briefly described Major General Wu's last battle and committed suicide by drinking a bullet.
As for where the bones are stored, there is no mention at all.
However, the place where the last battle was pointed out is thousands of miles away.
Old Wu couldn't help tears when he said this, and sighed wryly: "I didn't expect that my Wu family still has such iron-blooded warriors. It's a pity that I stood on the wrong team and ended up with the pain of failure. Thinking about it today, isn't it the beginning of history? A big joke."
Xu Yishan understood the meaning of what Old Wu said, and there was a trace of sadness in his heart.
? In fact, in history, there are often winners and losers, and the truth has never been shown.
Xu Yishan said: "Old Wu, tell me, if we look for it now, can we still find the remains of the battlefield?"
Old Wu thought for a while and said: "It should be possible. After all, how many years have passed? Less than a hundred years.??¡±
After finishing speaking, he asked vigilantly: "Are you going to find it? What do you want to do?"
Xu Yishan smiled slowly and said: "I don't do anything, I just want to pay my respects."
Old Wu became more and more puzzled, "Who are you paying homage to? The major general of the Wu family, or the person who died that year?"
"It's all the same." Xu Yishan said: "I don't care who is righteous, given the situation at the time, no one can tell who is just."
Old Wu pondered for a while and said: "It's good to go and have a look. Sometimes, if you don't step on the soil of history yourself, you can't feel the solemnity passed by history."
Farewell to Lao Wu, Xu Yishan went to the small courtyard of the old street alone.
After he finished telling this story to Du Juan, Du Juan was already sobbing.
On the contrary, Grandma Wu Jiagu sat silently all the time. She looked extremely calm, but Xu Yishan felt that her calm appearance could not conceal the turbulent waves in her heart.
Du Juan wiped his tears and said: "Brother Xu, I want to go to the place where my grandfather died."
Xu Yishan said: "Don't worry, I'll make arrangements."
Du Juan said: "I don't want to wait for a moment. My grandma is still waiting overseas to meet my grandpa again."
Xu Yishan comforted her and said: "Du Juan, now is not the same as in the past. Many people have begun to face up to history. So, since we already know the place, we are not afraid of difficulties and resistance. Let me prepare, and we will set off in three days. "
Du Juan was very happy when he heard this, and immediately called his overseas father.
Du Juan's father heard that Xu Yishan had found his father's last whereabouts before he was alive, and broke down in tears from thousands of miles away: "Mr. Xu, on behalf of all the descendants of our Wu family, thank you for your great kindness."
Xu Yishan felt like crying when he heard it, but he controlled his emotions and said in a low voice: "Mr. Wu, don't worry, I will definitely do everything possible to find your father's remains."
After hanging up the phone, I realized that Grandma Wu's aunt had burst into tears.
Two women from the Wu family, one old and one young, cuddled up to you, stared at Xu Yishan and said, "Mr. Xu, how can we thank you from the Wu family."
Xu Yishan smiled wryly and said: "What is there to thank me for? In fact, these are all mistakes caused by history. I hope that in our generation we can face up to history and make history innocent. At least let those who sacrificed themselves for the dignity and destiny of the nation The ancestors can rest in peace."
Aunt Wu let out a sigh of relief and said, "This old man has another wish. Once there is another wish, I should go."
Du Juan hugged her aunt and smiled, "Auntie, I won't let you go if you want to leave now. I'm not even married yet."
Grandma Wu's aunt smiled and said, "Okay, I'll just wait for you, little Dujuan, to get married. Find me a grandson-in-law soon."
Du Juan blushed and said, "Grandma, I can't find it."
Grandma Wu's aunt shook her head and said, "My Du Juan is born beautiful and extremely intelligent. How could a commoner marry her? Anyone who can be my grandson-in-law of the Wu family must be a dragon and a phoenix among men, a hero in the world."
Du Juan pouted and said, "I'd like to see who is the dragon and phoenix among the people, the hero in the world."
Her eyes flicked over Xu Yishan's face, and a elusive smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
