"Four Horse Road? It was a place where every inch of land was valuable, and a western-style building would cost tens of thousands of taels of silver. Wang Huairen said in surprise.

"I handed over the matter of buying a house to the people below, I only know that a smaller set is about 12,000 taels of silver, and another set of larger ones is about 20,000 taels, I am going to take A Qian to take a look today, she will buy which set she likes, if you two elders have time, it is better to go and see together." Sun Wei stayed in Pudong for almost the whole day yesterday, studying stabbing tactics with those players who knew how to shoot, but he only heard a rough idea when he went to the theater to find Xie Xiaoshu at night.

"Why buy such an expensive house, a new set of Shikumen is only five or six hundred taels of silver, one or two thousand taels is not enough to buy our half of the alley, even if you have money, you can't spend it like this." Mrs. Wang said a little complainingly.

The Shikumen building in the concession can be regarded as the earliest real estate industry in China, in later generations, with the continuous deterioration of the civil war situation, the low price in the concession can be said to have risen again and again, and also has the left and right compartments and the front and rear patios of the large Shikumen building changed to only one compartment, to no wing room of a deep building, and even if such a construction industry was copied to the sky-high price, so that the Chinese in the concession had to share a set of Shikumen with others, and a new pattern called the pavilion was born.

Once upon a time, Sun Wei also effectively imitated the big businessmen in the concession to buy more than ten or twenty streets of Shikumen buildings, and when the Republic of China just collected rent, he could have fine clothes and food, but he quickly dispelled this idea, first, because he was not very rich in the silver on hand, and second, he was not sure whether the concession could be taken back by him in advance because of his arrival, which was a political achievement that went down in history.

Although Sun Wei has dismissed the plan to hoard Shikumen, it does not mean that he will no longer buy houses and land in the concession, in his new plan, the house to be purchased is just an excess, in the near future he will buy a piece of land of about ten acres, and then build a set of large buildings such as Bai Mansion, Wang Mansion, Kadoorie Residence, which covers an area of more than ten acres, so as to build the Great Hou Palace that he has been saving in his dreams.

Sun Wei's plans are naturally impossible to explain to his mother-in-law and Pan, otherwise not only will he not be able to eat this breakfast, but I am afraid that he will not be able to enter this house from now on.

"Regardless of the price of the house, in terms of living comfort, the western-style building is indeed better than the Shikumen where we live, we make money outside in order to let our parents, wives and children have a comfortable living environment, as long as the environment is good, it is nothing expensive." Sun Wei explained.

"Ah Wei, what you said is not unreasonable, anyway, I'm fine today, I'll go with you to take a look at the house and check for you." Sun Wei's words just said that in Mrs. Wang's heart, there was no mother-in-law who didn't want to see her son-in-law caring for her daughter, so the complaint just now was immediately swept away.

"Ah Cai took leave to go back to his hometown in the past two days, who will help me look after the shop when you leave. Besides, you don't understand the matter of buying a house, and you will only cause chaos for Ah Wei and them if you go. Wang Huairen objected.

"If no one looks at the shop, it will be closed and closed, it should be a holiday, the children look at the house today, it is a big deal of tens of thousands of taels of silver, how can it be done without the help of an old man. Ah Wei, do you think I'm right? After Mrs. Wang refuted her husband, she turned to Sun Wei and asked.

"This is natural, you have crossed more bridges than Ah Qian and I have walked, and you will naturally not suffer a loss if you are always in check." Sun Wei hurriedly echoed.

"You hear me, old man." Mrs. Wang was a little complacent and boasted to Wang Huairen.

"You old woman, you are still in heaven when you praise you, and you don't even know your own weight." Wang Huairen muttered two sentences dissatisfiedly, but he did not insist that Mrs. Wang go to look at the shop for him, which can be regarded as acquiescence.

"Dad, in fact, if you want me to say that your shop might as well be closed, why bother to earn that money, and let me and A Qian do our filial piety for you two elders." Sun Wei persuaded Wang Huairen.

"I will be content if you can have this filial piety, that shop carries my life's hard work, this is no longer a question of money or not, as long as I can still do it, the shop will not be closed." Wang Huairen objected.

Wang Huairen's remarks in later generations are also insisted on by many old people, which makes Sun Wei as a post-90s generation has been difficult to understand, born in the countryside, he grew up the most envied person is his grandmother, since he can remember his grandmother has not worked in the field, life has always been to let his father and four uncles exchange money for food, what a kind of wanton life.

After breakfast, Sun Wei reported to the patrol room as always, and then asked the people below about the progress of all the cases in the jurisdiction, and at the same time pulled out the tricky cases separately and handed them over to his disciples to assist in handling.

In fact, for the thorny cases in the patrol room, the following detectives are not unsolvable, as long as you are careful in this world, there can be no unsolvable cases, even if you can't find practical evidence, but all the tricky cases have a certain influence in the concession, and being able to personally detect such cases is of great help to Sun Wei's development in the patrol room, just like Huang Jinrong in the French Concession, even if there is no case, he will let people create some cases for the sake of political performance.

Sun Wei's office is not in the patrol room, he goes to the patrol room every day to report just for his boss, and even the ordinary patrol in the patrol room knows that the only place where he can be found is Yongan Theater, even if he is not in the theater at that time.

According to the regulations of the patrol room, the staff of the patrol room are not allowed to leave the concession without permission during work, and a day like Sun Wei's stay in Pudong yesterday without permission can be regarded as a serious violation of discipline, and detectives like him must let the people left behind in the arrest house know his whereabouts during the handling of the case, so as to prevent him from being quickly found when the case occurs.

Although Sun Wei is arrogant in the public concession, he has done a very good job of this point, whether he is in the previous term or in this term, he will usually inform Xie Xiaoshu no matter where he is, it can be said that he has the greatest trust in Xie Xiaoshu as a woman.

Yongan Theater is as deserted as ever in the morning, and the stage is still rehearsing the opera by the theater's tricks, which shows its profound skills at a glance, but unlike in the past, there is a little girl on the stage today, and it is one of the girls he left in the theater the day before yesterday.

Chinese quyi culture has a long history, the earliest can be traced back to the era of clans and tribes, everyone has seen such a scene in film and television dramas, a dark and windy night in a moonlit night, there is a group of people in a wide area, naked and draped around the bonfire while jumping and circling, and from time to time make strange noises, this is the most primitive form of quyi performance, mainly for worship or sacrifice, this kind of performance is to entertain the gods rather than entertain people, until the Xia Dynasty, there was a comical and teasing performance content in the court, Chinese opera has gradually changed from entertaining gods to entertaining people.

Among the many forms of quyi, Kunqu opera dominated the opera scene in Shanghai and even the whole country, at least before Tongzhi, during the Qianlong period, there was a Guild of Artists organized the Shanghai Bureau, starring in Kunqu opera and often touring the country, the popularity of Kunqu opera at that time can be seen.

In the Jiaqing and Daoguang years, Li Tingjing, who was then Su Song Taidao, often presided over some elegant activities, attracting a large number of celebrities in the opera industry such as Wang Tan, Shu Wei, Yu Qiupu, Niu Shuyu, etc., Li Tingjing's shogunate was a base for quyi people to gather, compose operas, discuss poems, and watch operas, and many Shanghai Lingban were often invited to perform Kunqu opera.

Kunqu opera not only received strong support from government officials, but also attracted many wealthy businessmen, and at that time, the trend of subsidizing opera troupes in the circle of businessmen was prevalent, among which the salt merchants in Yangzhou were the main investors, and the troupes invested by them were frequent visitors to Shanghai temple fairs and semi-public hall operas.

People in the world often say that people are not good for a thousand days, flowers are not white and red, in the Tongzhi years, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom war spread to most areas in the south of the Yangtze River, only Shanghai has become a refuge area, so the local opera artists poured into Shanghai, during the period these opera artists in order to survive, they set up stalls on the side of the street and roadside, performing their best skills to make a living, plus the war weakened the government's control, and some of the original forbidden performances of the opera took the opportunity to spread wildly, so the Shanghai opera industry is no longer dominated by Kunqu opera.

It didn't take long for different local operas such as Hui Opera, Shanxi Bangzi, Shaoxing Randan, and Guangdong Cantonese Opera to bloom in Shanghai, and the shrewd businessmen saw the opportunity to start the teahouse theater business, and for a time all kinds of teahouse theaters were all over the streets and alleys, and there were more than 30 in the concession, and there were no less than 10 simple theaters in the area of the New North Gate alone, among which the Yongan Theater inherited by Xie Xiaoshu was established at this time.

Shanghai's many theaters naturally attracted people from all over the country, and also created many famous actors at home and abroad, among which the most famous one in later generations was Mei Lanfang, who was known as the four famous artists.

Mei Lanfang was born in a Peking Opera family in Beijing, and his earliest performance was in the Xiliancheng Opera Troupe in Beijing, but he really became a hit in Shanghai, when he won a full house with his handsome appearance and novel singing voice, resounding at home and abroad, since then the world knows that there is a famous Peking Opera actor Mei Lanfang in China, which shows that the influence of Shanghai opera industry in the international is extraordinary.

However, at this time, although the folk customs in Shanghai were more open than other places, the opera industry still followed the convention that women could not perform on stage, and Xie Xiaoshu let Erya practice singing on stage can be said to be a precedent for women to take the stage.
