Although the wound healed well, many symptoms of excessive blood loss still bothered Sun Wei, so after simply eating something, he fell asleep again.

When Sun Wei woke up again, it was already dusk, and the woman who was called "Miss" was no longer guarding the bedside at this time, but the sixteen or seventeen-year-old maid Xiaolan.

"Uncle, are you awake, are you hungry, dinner will come soon, do you need me to get you some snacks first?" Xiaolan saw Sun Wei wake up and immediately got up from the chair and asked with a smile.

"No...... Ahem...... No, my throat feels a little dry, just pour me a glass of water. Sun Wei said.

"Okay, uncle." Xiaolan hurriedly poured a glass of water for Sun Wei with the teapot on the table, but after testing the water temperature, she stood up and said, "Young master, the water is a little cold, I'll go change some hot one for you." ”

"No, I just want to moisten my throat." Sun Wei stopped Xiaolan, who wanted to change the water, and then sat up from the hospital bed with Xiaolan's help and asked; "Xiaolan, where is your young lady?"

"Miss saw that Uncle you woke up, so I personally went to the vegetable market to buy an old hen stewed chicken soup, saying that it was to replenish your body, and it has been stewed since noon, two hours, and it should be almost good at this time." Xiaolan explained.

"Oh!" Sun Wei still hasn't figured out the condition of his body, even if he wants to get some information from Xiaolan's mouth, he can't find a reason to speak, and the atmosphere suddenly cools a little.

Xiaolan didn't feel Sun Wei's abnormality, and while serving Sun Wei to drink water, she said to herself: "Uncle, you don't know that you have been unconscious for the past few days, but Miss has been in a hurry, in order to take care of you, Miss has not left your hospital bed for three days and three nights, and I don't want Xiaolan to help, when I am tired, lie down in front of your bed and squint for a while, no matter how much the old lady advises, I will not listen." ”

"Ah, that's really hard for her, so why do you still let her stew soup for me and don't let her go to rest quickly!" Although Sun Wei lamented the woman's gentleness and virtuousness, after all, they had never really lived together, and they lacked real feelings, so what they said was a bit pretentious.

Although what Sun Wei said was hypocritical, fortunately, Xiaolan was also a girl who had not yet entered the WTO, and she still didn't notice anything wrong, but hurriedly defended herself: "Uncle, you don't know Miss's temper, she is very stubborn, and she can't even persuade the old lady to persuade me, how can you persuade me to be a maid." ”

"I naturally know your young lady's temper, but persuading people also needs to pay attention to skills, especially for people who are stubborn like your young lady, you can't blindly do it, but it will backfire, you must know how to knock on the side." Sun Wei then began to talk at length about educating Xiaolan how to deal with the stubborn master, and he was a little weak at the beginning, but he thought that there were many similarities among the stubborn people in the world, so he let go.

Women have more or less chatty nature, under Sun Wei's guidance, Xiaolan said more and more, and then the topic changed from Miss to the old lady, and then to his uncle, so through these words, Sun Wei slowly had a preliminary understanding of his body.

According to Xiaolan's introduction, the name of this body is also Sun Wei, a native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, born in a broken scholarly family, and fled to Shanghai, a paradise for adventurers in the Far East, because of the disaster at home.

The owner of this garment shop is called Wang Huairen, who has a superb skill in making suits, specializing in custom-made suits for foreigners and compradors in the concession, and the business is also thriving, and it can be regarded as a large family business, but its biggest regret is that he has no children under his knees, and only one daughter named Wang Qian.

In order to be able to continue his family business, and also to have a support for him and his wife in their later years, Wang Huairen wanted to recruit a door-to-door son-in-law for his daughter, so Sun Wei, a hard-working, reliable, honest and trustworthy shop man, became his first choice, of course, this is only Sun Wei on the hospital bed to supplement his brain.

In fact, according to the maid Xiaolan, the shop guy Sun Wei didn't know where he heard that the boss had the idea of recruiting a son-in-law, so he moved his mind to get both people and money, on the one hand, he was obedient and currying favor in front of Wang Huairen and his wife, and on the other hand, he quietly hooked up with Wang Qian, who often went to the ready-to-wear shop to help.

Although Sun Wei's family is in the middle of the road, after all, he has read books, and he is still a little knowledgeable compared with most illiterates, and although Wang Huairen lives in the concession, he is an old-fashioned person, which greatly restricts Wang Qian's contact with the outside world, especially the contact with the opposite sex, so Sun Wei, who is close to the water and has a bit of a good look, hooked up with Sun Qian.

As the saying goes, it was her husband who finally knew that his wife was cheating, and it was her parents who knew that his daughter was in love at the latest.

Since Sun Wei entered Wang's garment shop to work, Mrs. Wang is quite satisfied with his conduct, and at the same time, considering that recruiting such a foundationless son-in-law is also helpful to her daughter's future, at least to ensure that her daughter will not be bullied after a hundred years of their old couple, so she and her daughter persuaded Wang Huairen to recognize this door-to-door son-in-law.

Wang Huairen has a very strong patriarchal thought, although he usually does not dare to show it in front of his wife, but he is very strict with his juniors, so after Sun Wei became his son-in-law, he was even more strict with him, so that Sun Wei could not get a moment of relaxation in and out of the shop.

Sun Wei, as Wang Huairen's son-in-law, in addition to coveting Wang Qian's beauty, also wanted to make his future life better, but Wang Huairen's strictness made him miserable, so he had the idea of leaving the ready-to-wear shop.

When Sun Wei was worried about how to leave the ready-to-wear shop, he happened to see the recruitment announcement of the patrol house for the Chinese patrol, so he took it into account and signed up for the selection of the patrol house Chinese patrol and patrol.

At this time, the salary and treatment of the Chinese patrol house patrol are very low, but it is not something that anyone can do if they want to, and there must be a wealthy family in the concession to guarantee the Ministry of Industry, which requires Sun Wei's father-in-law Wang Huairen to nod.

China has always paid attention to the tradition of good men not soldiers, and good iron does not shoot nails, Wang Huairen naturally did not agree with his son-in-law to hold this cheap business, resolutely refused to promise it, and also angrily rebuked Sun Wei's unrealistic ideas.

Compared with the miserable life of the ready-to-wear store, Sun Wei was more inclined to work in the patrol room, so he kept begging Wang Qian to persuade Mrs. Wang, and then asked Mrs. Wang to persuade Wang Huairen.

The patrol room is different from the ready-to-wear shop at home, and it is naturally impossible for the maid Xiaolan to enter and exit at will, so there is no detailed information about him since Sun Wei went to work in the patrol room, only knowing that Sun Wei was promoted from the third class patrol to the first class patrol in the first year, and in the second year he was transferred from the patrol to the plainclothes agent, in the third year he was promoted from the detective to the detective, and in the fourth year he was promoted from the detective to the detective.

Although Sun Wei is not a native of Shanghai, he also studied in Shanghai for four years, and he still has some understanding of some of Shanghai's history and culture, especially the concession that has the greatest influence on modern Shanghai and the patrol house of the concession.

The Shanghai Public Concession Patrol House and the French Concession Patrol House can be regarded as the earliest modern police system in China, which is half a century earlier than the first modern police force in Chinese history founded by Yuan Shikai, and has the necessary management institutions of modern police, such as criminal, public security, and traffic management.

In the patrol room, there are two sets of promotion agencies for patrol and arrest, the first is the police work of the patrol room, which has a chief inspector, chief and deputy inspector, inspector and patrol officer, wearing uniforms, and the second is the detective work of the patrol room, which has a chief inspector, chief and deputy detective, detective and detective, wearing civilian clothes, of which the chief inspector is in charge of policing, and the detective is responsible for solving cases.

In the eyes of the Public Board of Directors and the Police Department, the foreigners in the concession are the objects of their real trust, so the Police Department clearly stipulates that the Chinese are not allowed to serve as the patrol officers who really control the armed forces of the patrol room, and the Chinese patrol can only be promoted to the patrol chief in the police work of the patrol house, so the only real future of the Chinese patrol in the patrol house is the criminal investigation work of detectives.

Whether it is the public concession or the French concession, the early patrol house is the world of foreigners, even if the patrol house recruits lower-paid Chinese to work in the patrol house in order to save money, it is mostly as the lowest level of patrol and detective, and there is no status at all.

However, with the increasing number of Chinese in the concession and the increasing influence of wealthy Chinese businessmen in the concession, the patrol house had to hire more Chinese patrols in order to better manage the concession, and at the same time improved the status of the Chinese patrols, allowing a small number of Chinese patrols to hold low-level positions such as patrols and scouts.

From Xiaolan's mouth, Sun Wei learned that it was the 33rd year of Guangxu, and it was 1907 AD when converted into Western Yuan.

Although Sun Wei admired his predecessor's ability to work in the patrol room, but out of the fact that people in the world only remember the first mustard in the past and present, he was curious to set a set of information about the first Chinese patrol to Xiaolan, but after listening to the information revealed by Xiaolan, he was so frightened that his hands and feet were cold.
