Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 164: The Lucky Star Chosen by the Republic of China (3K)

Looking at the person in front of him, many stories about him from his past life flashed through Fang Yan's mind.

Tang Shengming was born in 1906 into a very wealthy family in Dong'an County.

His grandfather was from the Hunan Army, and he made great contributions by capturing Shi Dakai, the Wing King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, on the banks of the Dadu River.

My father was the director of the local industrial department in charge of salt affairs.

As the youngest child in the family, Tang Shengming was spoiled by his parents and brother.

In April 1926, 4-year-old Tang Shengming joined the fourth class of Whampoa Military Academy.

He was a very sociable person, and he got to know many famous generals and celebrities here.

Later, he used his social skills to make many people become his sworn brothers.

He was also very lucky in love. His wife was Xu Lai, a movie star during the Republic of China period. They were introduced by Du Yuesheng, a tycoon in Shanghai at the time.

49 years later, he went to Hong Kong to do business. After establishing a film business, he returned to the mainland in 56 to serve as a counselor.

Of course, many stories happened during that period and he met many legendary figures, but without exception, they all became his friends.

It can be said that he is a talented person with maxed-out social attributes.

During this period, I encountered many adventures. It was no longer just luck, it was luck itself.

Fang Yan remembers that he would be reinstated at the end of this year, and from then on until his death, he traveled between Hong Kong and Macau, working to develop foreign trade.

In his life, he has basically only been in decline in the last few years, but he has been at the peak of his life at other times.

He is the kind of person who would be criticized for being too fake if he wrote a novel like this.

After he asked Fangyan if he was an old friend, Fangyan thought about the people he knew and the only one who might have a connection with him was Mr. Zhu, who was famous in the south at that time.

Because when Tang Shengming was in Shanghai, he was very close to Nantong.

Among the difficult and complicated cases listed in Dr. Zhu’s medical records, there were also some famous people and wealthy businessmen in Shanghai who came to see him at that time.

So facing Tang Shengming's question, Fang Yan could only respond tentatively:
"Do you know Zhu Liangchun?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Shengming slapped his thigh immediately:
"Zhu Liangchun, the Five Poison Doctor, I know him very well!"

"When I was in Shanghai, I took my wife to Nantong to see him for medical treatment."

After that, he said excitedly:

"By the way, his master, Zhang Cigong, was the health doctor who was responsible for my physical examination when I returned to Beijing in 56. We are very familiar with each other..."

Fang Yan was stunned. He didn't expect that he knew this person Lian Zhangcigong.

Then he immediately figured it out. As a social expert, it would be strange if he didn't know her.

At this time, Old Tang grabbed the hand of his old friend next to him and suddenly realized:

"Oh, I see. The prescription you brought, Old Duan, looked so familiar to me!"

"So that's the prescription from Doctor Wu Du!"

He slapped his thigh and said:
"Well, I thought he was Jiao Shude's apprentice, but I didn't expect he was Zhu Liangchun's apprentice."

The dialect explains:
"Tang Lao, the recipe is indeed from Zhu Lao, but I am not Zhu Lao's apprentice. My fiancée is his niece's granddaughter."

Tang Shengming suddenly realized:
"Oh, so that's how it is. But since there is a recipe, it's almost the same as being an apprentice..."

When Fangyan heard him mention Jiao Shude just now, he couldn't help but sigh that this man really has a wide range of friends.

This Jiao Shude is also a doctor who uses insect medicine.

Later generations called him and Zhu Liangchun the two masters, Zhu in the South and Jiao in the North.

However, like Zhang Cigong, he has now become the leader's medical care doctor and is a formal official imperial physician. Ordinary people cannot see him.

Old Tang is now in poverty and is now an ordinary citizen. Before the imperial physician is appointed, he naturally cannot enjoy the treatment of this imperial physician.

However, Fangyan believes that it won’t be long, probably around the end of the month, and he will take off again.

After all, his superiors are still counting on him to deal in foreign exchange.

At this moment, Tang Shengming certainly didn't know what happened next. He said with some emotion:
"I can't believe that even now that I'm in such a state, there are still people who remember me."

Fang Yan calmed down and said to this legendary figure of the Republic of China:

"Mr. Tang, let me take a look at you first."

Hearing Fang Yan's words, Tang Shengming nodded:

"Okay! Come on."

As he said this, he stretched out his hand.

Fangyan pinched his Cun, Guan, and Chi fingers and began to take his pulse.

After an examination, 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 did not suffer any serious harm.

It's just that he is already over seventy years old, so the impact of the physical pain is stronger, and he also has some other problems that need to be treated.

Fangyan told him directly without hiding anything.

After listening to this, Tang Shengming nodded and said:

"Well, I see. In addition to rheumatism, I have some other problems..."

He paused and asked seriously:

"Then how long can I live?"

Fang Yan was startled, then smiled and said:

"Mr. Tang, you're not that pessimistic. If you take some care of yourself, you should live a long life."

"Well, I don't understand this, and you said a lot of things and scared me." Tang Shengming let out a breath.

He just couldn't understand it, and because he was being spoken in dialect, he thought he was going to die.

Fangyan shook his head and said to him:
"You are still in good health. Make sure you rest and don't get too tired. I'll prescribe some medicine for you, and then I'll give you acupuncture and a bath later."

Tang Shengming asked:
"I know about acupuncture, but what is a bath? Is it just a bath?" Fang Yan nodded:

"Yes, soak it with Chinese herbs such as Shujincao, Angelica sinensis, and Chuanxiong to clear your meridians, dispel wind and cold, and relieve pain."

After that he added:

"We also have 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 medicine for you and you can go back and get it yourself."

Hearing this, Tang Shengming shook his head repeatedly:

"No, no, I'm the only one left at home with two pigeons. It's best to do it here. Oh, by the way, why don't you just boil the medicine for me like you did for Old Duan? I, an old man, can't remember it well."

"Okay, no problem!" Fangyan responded.

Then he turned to Jia Dapeng and said:
"Dapeng, go get the medicine and boil it. Also prepare the medicinal bath. I'll use it after I give Elder Tang acupuncture."

"Okay, Brother Fang." Jia Dapeng received the order and went to do the work happily.

At this time, the old soldier Lao Duan said to Fang Yan:

"Doctor Fang, all of Old Tang's expenses are charged to my account."

Fang Yan glanced at him and nodded in agreement:

"Row."

Fang Yan also knew that it would be difficult for Tang Shengming to come up with the money now.

Tang Shengming said to Mr. Duan:
"Old Duan has cost you money again."

Mr. Duan waved his hand:

"Well, you helped so many of us back then, this little money is nothing, stop being so pretentious!"

Tang Shengming said seriously:
"Let's put things in perspective. I'll definitely return it to you once I've contacted the people in Hong Kong."

Old Duan was speechless, obviously not buying his tricks:

"Oh, this is the most annoying thing about you..."

Tang Shengming said with a smile:
"Brothers should settle accounts clearly. Friendship will not last long if they only take in money but don't spend it."

Mr. Duan had no choice but to nod:

"Okay, just give me the US dollars when the time comes!"

"Hahaha, ok, no problem." Tang Shengming agreed.

……

Next, Fang Yan gave him and Mr. Duan acupuncture treatment. They could not take a bath immediately after acupuncture, so Fang Yan asked them to rest for a while in the back hall and chat.

Fangyan went to the front and continued to treat patients.

After Jia Dapeng prepared the water for the medicinal bath, he returned to the front yard to help Fangyan.

Now this kid is very hardworking and never lazy or stealing.

He would even help others move things, as if he was really exercising.

"Brother Fang, the rest of the medicine is ready. When can we let Mr. Tang drink it?" After a while, Jia Dapeng walked up to Fang Yan and asked him.

The dialect said:

"Oh, go pour him a bowl and let him drink it first."

Jia Dapeng nodded and was about to leave immediately.

At this time, Fangyan finished writing the medical record, turned around and looked at Jia Dapeng, and found that the area under his nose was red.

"Huh? Dapeng, why are you bleeding from the nose?"

Fangyan could see clearly that there was still blood on Jia Dapeng's lips that had not been wiped clean, and new blood was brewing in his nose.

Hearing Fangyan's words, Jia Dapeng quickly covered his nose:

"Ouch, I... I just hit my nose."

Then he ran to the backyard.

Fangyan looked at him suspiciously, and suddenly thought of the aphrodisiac clam powder he had taken yesterday.

“……” He was speechless.

I told you young man not to eat randomly, but you didn't listen.

It’s enough to exercise at a young age. These medicines are completely unnecessary.

In fact, when Jia Dapeng encountered such a thing, he should have consulted a professional like Lao Tang to find out what was going on.

From the information Fang Yan had read in his previous life, he knew that Tang Shengming, this rich young man, when he was young and unmarried, was just like most rich young men in that he loved to hang out in places of brothels, so he should have known a lot about this kind of thing.

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 was the head of his eldest brother's security regiment, but he failed to protect his eldest brother. Instead, it was his eldest brother who slept at his door every day just to prevent him from going to the brothel.

In the end, he still sneaked out every day after his eldest brother fell asleep.

At this moment, Fang Yan suddenly heard someone at the door ask:

"Excuse me... Is Comrade Tang Shengming here?"

Fangyan looked towards the door and saw two young men in white shirts, followed by the director of the Dazhalan Sub-district Office.

"I'm here." Tang Shengming heard the voice and walked out from the back hall holding a bowl of medicine.

He frowned when he saw the two of them:

"Who are you two?"

The two took out a document and handed it to him:

"Comrade Tang Shengming, on August 30th, various departments will have activities 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:
"You mean, I'm reinstated?"

PS: This chapter has been deleted and revised many times. This person is very legendary. There is a character in "Sparrow" based on him. However, he is much more powerful than the adapted character, to the level that even screenwriters dare not write about him.
