I'm full of rebellion against fate
Chapter 66: Respect is given by oneself
The man asked in a low, pleasant voice, "Did you make that scrambled eggs with tomatoes?"
"what?"
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes were not considered a home-cooked dish and could not be put on the table. As a man, he probably thought he was being looked down upon. Chang Ningchen quickly said, "That scrambled eggs with tomatoes is a gift! Master Jun! I'll make another dish..."
If this man got angry and drove him out of Hong County, it would be difficult for him to find a job with a child. Chang Ningchen looked at the man with a pitiful look.
"What did Cao Cao ride in battle?!"
Chang Ningchen subconsciously followed up and said, "Camel! Big camel!"
The code matched! Good brother! Chang Ningchen looked at Dongfang He with tears in his eyes! Then the child behind him started crying, and Chang Ningchen went to comfort the child awkwardly.
Dongfang He had been eating banquets in this world for so long, but this was the first time he had eaten scrambled eggs with tomatoes in a hotel. The dish tasted exactly the same as the one made by Chang Ningchen, so he hurried to the kitchen to find someone.
Discovering that Chang Ningchen was carrying a child, Dongfang He asked curiously, "Is this your biological child?"
Chang Ningchen replied: "My friend, she died of a difficult childbirth and left behind a baby. There's no one else at her home, so I have to raise the baby."
In troubled times, many families died out. Dongfang He thought the baby was cute, and since he had plenty to eat, he said, "Then let's raise them together! Boy or girl? Do you have a name?"
Chang Ningchen looked at Dongfang He. It would be much better for this child to be with Dongfang He than with himself. Besides, Chen Jing from the Mo family definitely didn't want to go back. She was already very disappointed with the Chen family. It would be better for this child to be Dongfang He's child. Besides, Chen Jing was gone too. Unless a DNA test was done, no one would know the child's identity!
Thinking of this, Chang Ningchen said to Dongfang He as if he had made up his mind: "It's a boy. He hasn't been named yet. I'm having a headache about what to call him."
Dongfang He thought for a moment and said, "I am now the commander of Hong County, Zhao Lingyun. Since he has the surname Zhao, let's call him Changhe!"
Chang Ningchen frowned and said, "Zhao Changhe, this name is so unfashionable!"
Dongfang He smiled and said, "The Yangtze River is long, and the Yellow River is wide. Isn't that good?"
As for names! They may sound earthy at first, but become elegant when explained. For example, the name Huilan sounds earthy, but the meaning of Huilan instantly becomes elegant. When you are out and about, you have the right to interpret your name, and you also give yourself the dignity!
In addition, Dongfang He actually took the Chang from Chang Ningchen and the He from Dongfang He, but this is too ambiguous, so the man transformed it again and it became Changhe.
After hearing Dongfang He say this, the name Zhao Changhe instantly became much more domineering. After the two recognized each other, Chang Ningchen followed Dongfang He back to the Zhao Mansion with the child in his arms.
Regarding this matter, people outside were saying that Commander Zhao had taken a fancy to a chef in the restaurant. Everyone scoffed at this, but the number of apprentices in the restaurant increased a lot in a short period of time. Everyone worked hard to learn how to cook in the hope that they could also be noticed by the noble man. However, after Commander Zhao got a new chef, he rarely ate out.
Dongfang He was busy with military affairs. The system on his side assigned him many tasks, while the system on Chang Ningchen's side required him to stay in Hong County for three years. There was no conflict between the two.
The servants in the Zhao Mansion all thought that Chang Ningchen was the commander's favorite male concubine, and they were very enthusiastic about him at first. But later, when they saw that the two of them slept in separate rooms, they thought that Chang Ningchen was the commander's cook, so they began to ignore him.
Chang Ningchen's life in the Zhao Mansion was much better than in the Chen Mansion, except that the people there were a bit snobbish, and Dongfang He was always busy, so Chang Ningchen didn't want to disturb him. But seeing that his brother was so busy, Chang Ningchen couldn't sit still, so he asked Dongfang He if he needed any help.
Dongfang He thought about it and gave the account book of the mansion to Chang Ningchen. He would also take over the job of housekeeper in the future, after all, the two of them would live together for the rest of their lives.
The steward in the mansion hesitated, but finally handed several super thick account books to Chang Ningchen with a smile.
The old steward said to Chang Ningchen, "Mr. Qiao has just arrived at the Zhao Mansion. How can I trouble you with these matters? I have also been the steward of the Zhao Mansion for more than 40 years. I am quite capable of managing the affairs of the Zhao Mansion. Mr. Qiao..."
Chang Ningchen took the account book and started to read it. The old manager kept talking for a long time, but he had already read several pages!
As a businessman, Qiao Ningchen has learned to keep accounts since he was a child. In addition, when Qiao Ningchen and Chen Haolin were still in their honeymoon period, he also managed the accounts of the Chen Mansion. He knew everything about prices and how much expenses a commander's mansion has!
Now, with just a cursory glance, he could see the trick! Then Chang Ningchen flipped a few pages, and he flipped a few more. He looked at the old steward and said, "I don't understand this account. I want to talk to Commander Zhao about this. Accounting matters still need to be managed by a steady person."
The old steward heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Chang Ningchen's words. He had already made sure the accounts were correct, and even the most skilled accountant couldn't have made a mistake!
The account book is so thick and there are so many things to do in the mansion. Mr. Qiao is so young that he definitely doesn't want to take care of these things. The old steward guessed that Qiao Ningchen would push the accounting matters aside, so he looked very proud.
Chang Ningchen kicked open the door of Commander Zhao's bedroom with the account book in his arms, and then rushed in. The old steward saw that something was wrong and wanted to take the account book back, but Commander Zhao was taking a shower and didn't let anyone else into the room.
The pool was full of foam, and Dongfang He, who was taking a bath, was startled by Chang Ningchen's sudden intrusion. After asking the servant to close the door and not let anyone in, he asked, "Why did you come in with the account book? Let's talk after I finish my bath."
Chang Ningchen was holding the account book. After reading a few pages of it, he felt like he was going to explode! He jumped into the bathtub in anger and then pulled Dongfang He to look at the account book.
Dongfang He looked at Chang Ningchen with his pupils shaking. The sky-blue robe on his body was soaked by water, outlining his thin body. Now the man's mind was full of Chang Ningchen's slender waist.
Chang Ningchen pointed at some exaggerated prices that were about to soar and said to Dongfang He indignantly, "Don't feel bad about your account book. I can tell at a glance that this is a fake account book made by the old steward. But if the fake account book is so exaggerated, the real account book in your mansion must be terrible... Are you listening to me?!"
Dongfang He blushed and came back to his senses and said, "Ahem! Well, there are some dirty things hidden in rich people's homes."
Chang Ningchen became even angrier at Dongfang He's calmness, and he pounced on him, saying, "Fuck! Others are like mice getting into a rice warehouse, but you're like rice getting into a rat's nest! Look at you, these mung beans cost 10 silver dollars?! Bird's nest costs 100 silver dollars, are you bathing with bird's nest?! Shark fin costs 500 silver dollars, you don't even need that much to rinse your mouth every day..."
Dongfang He looked at Chang Ningchen, who was doing the accounting. He had a bookish air and a vigorous spirit. His gentle exterior had a solid inner core. He was soft on the outside but strong on the inside... He looked very capable. The man was fascinated by Chang Ningchen's rosy mouth that kept talking.
Noticing Dongfang He staring at him in a daze, Chang Ningchen slammed the account book into the man's face. He raised his eyebrows and yelled, "Are you listening to me?!"
Dongfang He touched his nose awkwardly and said, "I'm listening!"
As the overlord of multiple worlds, Dongfang He usually just pays for things without asking the price. This leads to him buying things in this world without caring about the price.
He is used to spending money lavishly and he leaves everything else to others, so he doesn't care how much money he gets ripped off. What matters is that he enjoys spending the money!
