Chapter 164 The Chosen Lucky Star of the Republic of China (3K)
Looking at the man in front of him, many stories about him from his past life flashed through Fang Yan's mind.
Tang Shengming was born into a very wealthy family in Dong'an County in 1906.
His grandfather was born in the Hunan Army, and he made meritorious deeds by capturing Shi Dakai, the wing king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, on the banks of the Dadu River.
His father is the local industrial director in charge of salt affairs.
As the eldest son of the family, Tang Shengming was doted on by his parents and elder brother.
In April 1926, 19-year-old Tang Shengming transferred to the fourth phase of Huangpu.
He is particularly good at socializing, and he met many famous generals and celebrities here.
Later, he used his social skills to confuse many people into his sworn brothers.
Moreover, he was also very lucky. His wife was Xu Lai, a movie star during the Republic of China. Their introducer was Du Yuesheng, a tycoon in Shanghai at the time.
49 years later, he went to Xiangjiang to do business. After establishing a business, he returned to the mainland as a counselor in 1956.
Of course, many stories happened during this period, and I met many legendary figures, but without exception, he made them his friends.
It can be said that he is an excellent person with full social attributes.
During this period, various adventures continued, and it was no longer just luck, it was simply luck itself.
Fang Yan remembered that he was reinstated as an official at the end of this year. From then on until his death, he traveled to Hong Kong and Haojiang to work on foreign trade.
Counting from the perspective of his life, he has basically been in decline in the past few years. The rest of the time he has been at the peak of his life.
He is the kind of person who would be scolded for being too fake if he wrote a novel like this.
After he asked Fang Yan if he was an old friend, Fang Yan thought about the people he knew, and the only person he might have contact with was Mr. Zhu, who was famous in the south at that time.
Because when Tang Shengming was in Shanghai, it was very close to Nantong.
Among the difficult and complicated diseases in Mr. Zhu's medical records, some celebrities and wealthy businessmen from Shanghai at that time came to visit him.
So when faced with Tang Shengming's question, Fang Yan had no choice but to tentatively respond:
"I wonder if you know Zhu Liangchun?"
When Tang Shengming heard this, he immediately slapped his thigh:
"Five Poison Doctor Zhu Liangchun, I know him so well!"
"When I was in Shanghai, I took my wife to Nantong to see him for medical treatment."
After that, he said with some excitement:
"By the way, his master Zhang Cigong was the health doctor in charge of my physical examination when I returned to Beijing in 1956. We are very familiar with each other..."
Fang Yan was startled, but he didn't expect that even Zhang Cigong knew this person.
Then he immediately figured out that he was a social master, so it would be strange if he didn't know him.
At this time, Old Tang took the hand of his old friend next to him and suddenly realized:
"Oh, I understand. The prescription you took, Old Duan, I wonder why it looks so familiar!"
"It turns out that it was the recipe of the Five Poison Doctors!"
He said and patted his thigh:
"Hey, I thought he was Jiao Shude's apprentice, but I didn't expect him to be Zhu Liangchun's apprentice."
Dialect explained:
"Mr. Tang, the recipe is indeed Mr. Zhu's recipe, but I am not Mr. Zhu's apprentice. My fiancée is his grandniece."
Tang Shengming suddenly realized:
"Oh, that's it, but since I have a prescription, I'm almost like an apprentice..."
When Fang Yan heard about Jiao Shude just now, he couldn't help but feel that this person really had a wide range of friends.
This Jiao Shude is also a doctor who uses insecticides.
Later generations will call him and Zhu Liangchun the two masters Nan Zhu and Beijiao.
It's just that like Zhang Cigong, he has now served as the leading medical health doctor. He is a serious official imperial doctor and ordinary people cannot see him.
Old Tang was now in despair. He was now a real commoner. Naturally, he would not be able to enjoy the treatment of this imperial doctor before he started using it.
However, Fang Yan believes that it will not be long before he takes off again, probably by the end of the month.
After all, the superiors still expect him to engage in foreign exchange.
Of course Tang Shengming didn't know what happened next. He said with some emotion:
“I didn’t expect that someone would still remember me when I’m in such a bad state now.”
Fang Yan calmed down and said to this legendary figure of the Republic of China:
"Mr. Tang, let me show you first."
Hearing Fang Yan's words, Tang Shengming nodded:
"Okay! Come on."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand.
Fang Yan pinched his Cun Guan Chi and began to diagnose his pulse.
After checking, it was found that his physical condition was much better than that of the old soldier known as Lao Duan.
Although he was imprisoned for two years, he was not seriously injured.
It's just that he is over 70 years old, so the impact of physical pain is stronger, and there are still some other problems that need to be adjusted.
Fang Yan told him directly without hiding anything.
After Tang Shengming listened, he nodded and said:
"Well, I understand. In addition to rheumatism, I also have some other physical problems..."
He paused and asked somewhat seriously:
"Then how long can I live?"
Fang Yan was startled, then smiled and said:
"Mr. Tang, I am not so pessimistic. I should live a long life after taking care of myself."
"Hey, I don't understand this. You said a lot and scared me." Tang Shengming exhaled.
He just couldn't understand it, it was spoken in dialect, and he thought he was going to die.
Fang Yan shook his head and said to him:
"You are still in good health. Make sure you rest and don't get tired. I will prescribe some medicine and I will give you acupuncture and bath treatment later."
Tang Shengming asked:
"I know acupuncture. What is a bath? Is it just a bath?" Fang Yan nodded:
"Yes, use Chinese herbal medicine such as Shujincao, Angelica sinensis, and Chuanxiong to soak in it to clear your meridians, expel wind and cold, and relieve pain."
After that, he added:
"We also provide a room in the backyard for you to take a bath. If you don't want to take a bath here, I can also prescribe you medicine and you can go back and get it yourself."
Hearing this, Tang Shengming shook his head:
"No, no, no, I only have two pigeons left at home besides me. It's best to get it here. Oh, by the way, why don't you do the same thing you did for Lao Duan and help me fry the medicine?" The old man really can’t remember.”
"Okay, no problem!" Fang Yan responded.
Then he turned to Jia Dapeng and said:
"Dapeng, go and prescribe some medicine, then fry it and prepare a medicinal bath. I will use it after giving Mr. Tang acupuncture."
"Okay, Brother Fang." Jia Dapeng got the order and went to do things.
At this time, the old soldier Lao Duan said to the dialect:
“Doctor Fang, Old Tang’s expenses are all on my account.”
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Fang Yan glanced at him and nodded in agreement:
"Okay."
Fang Yan also knew that Tang Shengming was probably in trouble enough to come up with the money.
Tang Shengming said to Mr. Duan:
"Old Duan cost you money again."
Mr. Duan waved his hand:
"Hey, they helped so many of us back then. This little money is nothing. Stop being pretentious!"
Tang Shengming said seriously:
"One code, one code. When I contact the people in Xiangjiang, I will return it to you."
Lao Duan was speechless, obviously not accepting his trick:
"Oh, this is the most annoying thing about you..."
Tang Shengming said with a smile:
"Brothers must settle accounts. Friends who only get in and out will not last long."
Mr. Duan had no choice but to nod:
"Okay, just give me US dollars when the time comes!"
"Hahaha, okay, no problem." Tang Shengming responded.
……
Next, Fang Yan gave him and Mr. Duan acupuncture treatment. They couldn't take a bath immediately after acupuncture, so Fang Yan asked them to rest for a while in the back hall and chat.
Fang Yan went to the front to continue treating people.
After Jia Dapeng got the water for the medicine bath, he returned to the front yard to help Fang Yan.
Now this kid is very diligent and not lazy at all.
He would even help people move things, as if he was really exercising.
"Brother Fang, the medicine behind is ready. When will Mr. Tang drink it?" After a while, Jia Dapeng walked to Fang Yan and asked him.
Dialect said:
"Oh, go and pour a bowl and let him drink it first."
Jia Dapeng nodded and left immediately.
At this time, Fang Yan finished writing the medical record and turned to look at Jia Dapeng, only to find that the bottom of his nose was red.
"Eh? Dapeng, why do you have a nosebleed?"
Fang Yan could see clearly that there was still unwiped nosebleed on Jia Dapeng's lips, and new ones were brewing in his nose at the moment.
Hearing Fang Yan's words, Jia Dapeng quickly covered his nose:
"Ouch, I...hey, I hit my nose just now."
With that said, he ran to the backyard.
Fang Yan looked at him suspiciously and suddenly thought of yesterday's aphrodisiac clam powder.
"..." He was speechless.
I told you not to eat randomly, young man, but you didn’t listen.
As long as you exercise at a young age and keep fit, these drugs are completely unnecessary.
In fact, when Jia Dapeng encountered this kind of thing, he should consult a professional like Lao Tang to understand.
According to the information Fang Yan had read in his previous life, Tang Shengming, a rich man, like most rich men before he was young, liked to hang out in the land of fireworks, so he should know more about this kind of things.
It is said that in order to stop him, his eldest brother slept at his door every day to block him. At that time, Tang Shengming's position was the head of his eldest brother's security regiment. As a result, he did not protect his eldest brother. Instead, his eldest brother slept at his door every day, just to avoid Let him go to a brothel.
In the end, he still sneaked out every day after his elder brother fell asleep.
At this moment, Fang Yan suddenly heard someone at the door asking:
"Excuse me...Is Comrade Tang Shengming here?"
Fang Yan looked toward the door and saw two young men in white shirts, followed behind them by the director of the Dashilan Street Office.
"I'm here." Tang Shengming, who heard the voice, walked out from the back hall holding a medicine bowl.
He frowned after seeing the two of them:
"Who are you two?"
The two took out a document and handed it to him:
"Comrade Tang Shengming, various departments will have relevant activities on August 30th that require your attendance. Please be sure to report back to your original department before this date."
Tang Shengming was stunned. After taking the document, he asked in disbelief:
"What do you mean, my officer has been reinstated?"
PS: This chapter has been deleted many times. This man is very legendary. There is a character based on him in "Sparrow", but he himself is much more powerful than the adapted character, to the extent that even the screenwriters dare not write about it.
