Physician’s Odyssey

There was a car parked outside, and Su Tao sat in the back row first, and then Gu Tianyang followed him in.

Gu Tianyang's eyes fell on the practice box that Su Tao carried with him, and he smiled: "Your box is an ancient relic. Even if it is not priceless, it is definitely worth collecting."

Su Tao explained with a smile: "Things handed down from the ancestors. Didn't you expect you to study this too?"

Gu Tianyang smiled modestly, "I like to study history. Although I haven't seen anything like it, I can tell from the craftsmanship and simplicity of this carving that it is extraordinary. Several of my friends are antique lovers. Wait a minute. Let them study the history."

Su Tao knew that Gu Tianyang deliberately got closer to him and chatted with him. The practice box was indeed an antique, but with Gu Tianyang's wealth, he wouldn't be a guy who wanted to eat himself.

When he came to Zuixiange Restaurant, Su Tao felt a special feeling when he entered the door. This is not a place to eat, but a gathering place for elegant people. There are folding fans, calligraphy and painting, ancient books, and more importantly. The fakes are all genuine, and the cheapest ornaments are all very valuable. Although my own practice box is of great significance, it is probably only considered to be a medium-sized item here.

Su Taoqing can't help but think of Gu Yin, who is far away in the island country. The decoration of this restaurant is at least worth half the value of Gu Yin's collection room.It's just that Gu Yin's collection room is not revealed to others, and the restaurant is open to the outside world. It can be seen that the identity of the owner is at least the same level as Gu Yin.

There were already three people sitting in the box, and Gu Tianyang enthusiastically helped Su Tao recommend them one by one.

Sitting in the center is the owner of this restaurant named Liu Heng, the person on his right is Cao Dongyang, and the person on his left is Du Liushan.

Su Tao has a little impression of Du Liushan. This person often participates in CCTV's "Huaxia Appreciation" program. As a special guest, he distinguishes the authenticity of antiques and tells the origin and hidden value of antiques. Although most of the programs are recorded, there are directors. The content is designated to be added, but Du Liushan's eloquence and expressiveness are very strong, and he often exerts himself, which makes the program a lot more colorful.

In the final analysis, he really knows antiques well and can improvise and tell new unknown stories.

As for Cao Dongyang, Gu Tianyang didn't introduce much, but Su Tao knew that being able to become good friends with Gu Tianyang was absolutely amazing.

Liu Heng's personality is relatively straightforward, and he needs such a personality to be in the catering industry. He took the initiative to shake hands with Su Tao, and smiled: "This is the famous doctor Su. I didn't expect such a young man to be a hero."

"Boss Liu, you have a good reputation!" Su Tao smiled modestly, "I am a young doctor and cannot be regarded as a genius doctor."

After Su Tao and Gu Tianyang were seated, Du Liushan poured a cup of tea for Su Tao, and asked with a smile: "There is one thing I want to verify with you personally. It is said that you used to be in the house of Committee member Zhao and judged that through the form and spirit of calligraphy and painting. The calligraphy and painting were not actually written by Commissioner Zhao."

Su Tao was a little surprised. They didn't expect these secret things to be known to them. According to the truth, Committee Member Zhao is a special person. The time he treated him was classified as confidential and will not be disclosed.

Du Liushan's mention of this incident also proves that they have clear eyes and ears and have their own news channels in high-level circles.

Su Tao said with a smile: "That time is also a coincidence. If the copy of the calligraphy and painting is not seriously ill, I can't tell."

Du Liushan patted his thigh lightly, and exclaimed, "This is a good story! With such an allusion, in a hundred years, the calligraphy and painting will definitely be worthless."

Su Tao was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled, three sentences within his line. From this detail, it can be seen that Du Liushan is very obsessed with antiques. It is no wonder that he has become a rare top expert in the antique appreciation industry.

Cao Dongyang's eyes kept falling on Su Tao's practice box.

Gu Tianyang smiled and said, "Old Cao, you seem to care about this practice box!"

Cao Dongyang didn't like to talk, his personality was rather restrained, and he nodded slightly.

Su Tao was also free and easy, and brought the practice box to Cao Dongyang's side, and said with a smile: "It's not a baby, please take a closer look."

Cao Dongyang didn’t smile, and slowly took out the magnifying glass from his pocket, and looked at the medical box as if no one was looking. He was quickly immersed in it. Gu Tianyang pulled Su Tao to the side and said with a smile: "Old Cao is this. Personality, he won’t let go when he catches a good thing. He estimates it will take a long time to study, let’s eat first.

Liu Heng rang the bell, and after a while, the waiter walked in.

Liu Heng saw Du Liushan and Cao Dongyang whispering to the practice box and said, "Let them go, we will eat and talk."

Liu Heng is very talkative and has a wide range of contacts. He has also had an understanding of Su Tao, so he took the initiative to bring up Song Sichen.He smiled and said: "Song Lao is really a living god. I was eating at a restaurant more than ten years ago. A patient suffered a heart attack. He rejuvenated and rescued the patient in time. Afterwards, I personally came to thank him, but Song Lao did not take me. At that time, I still felt a little angry about the money. Later, I found out that Song Lao never cared about these vulgar things."

Su Tao smiled and said, "Master Song is indeed respectable."

Gu Tianyang admired him by the side: "Expert Su, your medicine is also very good."

Liu Heng smiled when he saw it, "Otherwise, Brother Tianyang would not make such detailed arrangements for your affairs."

When Su Tao heard Liu Heng say this, he immediately beat the drums in his heart, and wondered about today's dinner. Is there anything special?

Gu Tianyang deliberately sold Guanzi and smiled: "Don't worry, it's a good thing!"

Su Tao was a little anxious in his heart. He hated being kept secret from others, but on the surface he still pretended to be calm and calm.

After three cups of wine, Cao Dongyang finally left the medical box, with an almost imperceptible curve emerging from the corner of his mouth, admiring: "This medical box is already regarded as a national treasure, and it should be something left by the imperial physician of the Tang Dynasty. It’s so well maintained. What’s even more surprising is that you just carry it with you and you are not afraid of being robbed."

Su Tao hurriedly laughed and said, "Just as a few of your experts can see Mingtang, who can ordinary people understand the value of it? Most people think it is just a broken box.

Cao Dongyang shook his head, put the magnifying glass into his pocket, and sighed: "We still have to protect it, this is a national treasure!"

Du Liushan laughed, "Old Cao, you don't want to persuade Xiao Su to hand over this practice box to the country, right?"

Cao Dongyang gave Du Liushan angrily, and said angrily: "This is his personal belongings, how could I do that?"

Gu Tianyang leaned in Su Tao's ear and whispered, "Dongyang is the vice minister of culture and is responsible for the approval of the establishment of national museums. The sacred bronze man from the Song Dynasty that Gu Yin entrusted you to bring back will be kept by him for the time being. ."

Su Tao's eyes lit up, and then he understood why Gu Tianyang had set a meal today.

Cao Dongyang nodded towards Su Tao and said softly, "I have read your application for the construction of a Chinese medicine museum in Hanzhou. The plan is rough and not detailed enough. I originally planned to reject it. After all, it is a national museum. The information needs to be improved, and there must be a fixed venue and a compliant exhibition room and collection storage place; professional and technical personnel matching the scale and function; the funding and stable operating funding sources of the pavilion; the facilities, systems, and Emergency plans and so on."

Su Tao nodded quickly and said, "Minister Cao, what you said is that this is indeed my misconsideration."

Liu Heng waved his hand next to him and laughed: "You, don't be fooled by Cao. He is actually not such a stubborn person. As long as the plan goes well, you can sign with one eye closed. Up."

Cao Dongyang glared at Liu Heng, but he was not very angry, and said, "Am I so casual?"

Su Tao knew that they were joking with each other, and Cao Dongyang was born with a face of bitter and enmity, giving people the illusion of seriousness.

Du Liushan smiled and said, "Well, Tianyang is our brother. He rarely asks you for help. You have to give this face! Moreover, Xiao Su is a reliable person at first glance. Things can't be wrong."

Cao Dongyang nodded, and said solemnly to Su Tao: "The country has indeed been considering protecting the culture of Chinese medicine in recent years. If you do this, it will be an extremely meaningful thing."

Su Tao hurriedly got up and promised: "Please rest assured Minister Cao, I will never let you down."

Only then did Cao Dongyang smile, his face blooming like a chrysanthemum, Su Tao secretly wondered why Cao Dongyang likes to have a stern face, it is uglier to laugh than crying, but from the perspective of Su Tao’s skill in understanding people, Cao Dongyang is less Some, very honest officials.

Next, the five people were eating and chatting. To Gu Tianyang’s surprise, although Su Tao was young, he had a lot of goods in his stomach and had a lot of books. No matter what they exchanged, Su Tao could say something. , Has even been integrated into this small circle that it is difficult for outsiders to integrate into.

Gu Tianyang sighed, no wonder Gu Yin attaches so much importance to Su Tao, this is indeed a talent.

For ordinary young people, there will be obvious generation gaps when communicating with these four people. The content they talk about is mainly historical anecdotes, and they are not simple talks. They are all details extracted from history books, some celebrities. Anecdote.

If you have just read a few history books without saying a few words, you have to be dismantled.

Su Tao talked about some wild history gossip, and he said it so wonderfully and vividly, so that Du Liushan had a deep interest in Su Tao, and he wished to regard him as a confidant.These contents are all medical records mentioned in the "The Imperial Doctor Jing", and there are many confirmations with the historical books circulating on the market, and it is considered that Su Tao took advantage.

Du Liushan made an appointment with Su Tao at the dinner table. If he had time to visit his tea house, he would definitely entertain him.

Du Liushan and Tong Zuoqing have similar positions in the Yanjing circle. They both operate teahouse geniuses. Therefore, in the Yanjing antique circle, there is a saying that "Master Du and Uncle Tong must be invited for tea gatherings." The consciousness is that Du and Tong are best at talking , Reconcile the atmosphere.

However, Du Liushan prefers to associate with literati and scholars, while Tong Zuoqing does not refuse to teach others.

Su Tao knew that these three people gave themselves so much face today, thanks to Gu Tianyang's recommendation.

Gu Tianyang helped him solve the problems of the establishment of the Museum of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the bronze statue of Tiansheng.
