    长辈所言非虚

    今天看到新浪上的一份文章,说是上海以前的大家族,结果看到以下的内容,和以前老人们告诉我的事基本吻合。
    祖辈也是靠拼搏发迹的呀。
     
     
    周湘云家族——地产大亨曾是苦出身
        周湘云家族有“房地产大王”之誉,在公共租界工部局纳税人的名册上排名第五。拥有第一号汽车牌照的是周湘云的弟弟周纯卿,时间长达40年之久。
        有地、有房、有钱、又有一号汽车,这么显富的周家其实是个苦出身。当年,周湘云父辈兄弟三人为生计所迫,先后乘鸭蛋船从宁波闯到了上海滩。从一只咸蛋“过”两顿饭的苦日子过起,他们很快就发现了上海滩的“金矿”,各自开拓了一片天地。19世纪末,大哥二哥去了武汉,三弟周莲塘留在了上海。到周莲塘的大儿子周湘云接管家业时,周家已号称有500万家产。
        周湘云位于青海路44号的花园洋房是上海滩有名的豪宅。墙上铁牌上刻的是房子建造的年月以及洋行设计师戴维斯·布鲁尔的名字。房屋呈狭长状,南端是用于祭祖的祠堂,北端是前楼和后楼。前楼大厅的卷帘大门在当时是顶时髦的,当年大厅左侧是餐厅,右侧是会客室。二楼是卧室,正南的主卧带挑出的圆形阳光房。底楼坐电梯可以直达三楼的大平台。后楼为条状,由长廊连接各个房间,并有后天井。宅子的中央是花园,小桥流水,山石玲珑,两棵百年香樟精壮挺拔,与盘曲遒劲的百年古藤相得益彰。1950年初,这栋花园洋房由华东局外贸机关租用。其后,先后为上海市公费医疗第五门诊部及岳阳医院门诊部。
    位于延安中路1101号的花园以前叫“学圃”,当年周湘云就是在那里宴请宾客的。那里不仅有小桥流水、亭台楼阁,还养着孔雀、金鸡等小动物。后来花园辟出一块土地造景华新村,正门开在巨鹿路上。解放后这里造了延安饭店。
        第一号汽车牌照拥有者周纯卿的私宅位于南京西路806号,这是一座有罗马式廊柱的大厦,解放后变身为静安区少年宫。
        华山医院西边的花园人称“周家花园”,这是周纯卿的“莼庐”,即避暑之地。抗战胜利后,周家将之卖给了虞洽卿之子虞顺蔚,更名“蕊园”。
