Chapter 1382 Eavesdropper
"Psychiatrist?"
Mr. Enriquez looked at Shade with some surprise. Shade nodded. He heard Dr. Schneider introduce his work content:
"Because an unsmooth marriage will cause some psychological problems. Of course, these are just minor problems, not real diseases, such as depression, loss of appetite, fear of sharing the same bed at night, and liking to stay in the alley next to home after get off work. Smoking instead of going home immediately. If you have such symptoms, a psychiatrist can correct your problem. ”
After Xia De finished speaking, he added:
"Don't take medicine from a psychiatrist. Those are placebos. Just talk to them."
In this era, there are no effective drugs for treating psychological problems.
Mr. Henriquez nodded, obviously moved by Shade’s suggestion:
"Yeah, maybe it would be better to talk to a professional. I have a friend."
At this point, he looked at Xia De cautiously, but found that Xia De had no expression, so he relaxed:
"He knew some of his wife's past, not very glorious past, so he has been depressed. I think we can go to the doctor together."
Xia De smiled:
"Is your friend still in love with his wife?"
"Of course."
Mr. Henriquez said without thinking.
"Then his wife still loves your friend?"
"Yes, on the night of the wedding banquet, she even knelt down and begged him to forgive her for her past infidelity."
After Mr. Henriquez finished speaking, he immediately added:
"This is what I heard too. He is a very good friend and tells me everything."
"I will not forgive another person casually for others, but since we both love each other and are separated only because of one thing, it means that this marriage can still be saved."
When he said this, it was not that Shade thought it was wrong to break up a marriage casually, but that he saw that Mr. Enriquez had no intention of leaving the marriage at all, and was only concerned about it because of that incident:
"Now there are only two ways in front of Mang? Ahem, I mean your friends. One is to solve the matter, and the other is to let the emotions ferment until the marriage is broken. Neither you nor I are involved. , cannot make decisions for others, but he definitely has his own ideas and knows what he wants."
"But what if he doesn't know himself clearly? Oh, Mr. Watson, people can't always see themselves clearly."
Mr. Enriquez continued to ask for advice.
Shad took out a small copper coin from his pocket. This is a copper pfennig, which is approximately equal to 1.4 pence:
"Then flip a coin."
"Let luck decide?"
"Of course not."
Xia De stuffed the small coin into Mr. Enriquez’s hand:
"When you throw this coin, the moment the coin flies to the highest point and starts to fall, you actually already have an answer in your heart that you want to get."
He encouraged:
"Try it, I mean, try it for your friend."
So Mr. Enriquez put down his glass again and flicked the small coin away with his thumb. The two of them looked up to see the coin flying into the air, and were finally held down by Mr. Enriquez on the back of his hand.
"Do you have an answer?"
Xia De asked.
Mr. Henriquez looked at the covered coins blankly and suddenly laughed:
"There is an answer, there is an answer. Yes, he still loves her, and she loves him deeply; he knows that she loves him deeply, and she also knows how to love him. Although for that matter I still care, but"
He sighed softly, but there was no longer the melancholy and melancholy in his tone.
Mr. Henriquez and Shade looked out the window again. The two gentlemen in formal suits and white shirts were clearly reflected on the glass, as well as the lively banquet behind them, while they were talking in the dark garden. The figure of the lady is a little blurry.
"Thank you, Mr. Watson, I already know what to do."
"Why should you thank me? I didn't make any decisions for your friends, I just gave some unrealistic suggestions. After all, I have never been married myself."
Xia De picked up the wine glass, Mr. Enriquez clinked it with him, and handed Xia De his business card:
"Welcome to my place as a guest. The manor outside the city is only for weddings. I also have a house in the city. Maggie's father bought it."
Both Mr. and Mrs. Enriquez come from baronial families, but the former’s family is relatively poor, while the latter’s family is prominent locally.
"I will go when I have time, so I look forward to meeting you next time."
Xia De said politely, watching Mr. Enriquez walk towards the door, apparently wanting to talk to his wife again.
[Do you think they can reconcile as before? 】
"She" suddenly asked.
"What a strange question."
Xia De looked at Mr. Enriquez’s back with a smile:
"What does this have to do with me? It is the most stupid behavior to meddle in other people's housework. Therefore, I did not give him any judgment."
Earl Granger is the general manager of the upcoming shipyard, and he must have attended the banquet. Seeing that Margaret was still busy for the time being, Shade thought of talking to the earl, maybe there would be clues to gems and other items.
But he walked around the banquet hall and did not see the count. So she asked Margaret's maid to help inquire, and found out that Earl Granger was meeting with the prince.
Margaret often complained that her brother didn't do much, but it would definitely be wrong to say that Prince William didn't do anything at all. Seeing that spring is coming and the construction period is coming to an end, Prince William is not only busy with his and Oxenfurt's business, but also gradually begins to pay attention to the shipyard.
Of course, this may also be because Stone Oxenfurt's scam has reached the final stage.
The conversation between the two was in the reception room on the second floor. In order to prevent the count from being called to another place after leaving there, Shade went to the second floor to wait. After entering the corridor, I thought that it was already here. If I didn't listen to what they said, I would be sorry for my strength to climb the stairs.
So, while no one was paying attention, he used the illusion to cover up from the window of the corridor, turned into a group of red butterflies and flew outside, then flew to the left along the outer wall, and soon came to the window of the reception room Location.
I was very lucky, the curtains on the window were not closed. Earl Granger sat on the sofa, while Prince William, dressed in a red dress coat, stood in front of the window. He turned his back to the window and looked into the room, holding a wine glass in his hand.
So Shade appeared and squatted directly on the window sill, listening to the conversation inside through the glass.
The last time I saw Prince William at Mr. Enriquez’s wedding banquet, he was accompanied by a low-level warlock, but this time the low-level warlock was at the door, so Shade didn’t have to worry about anyone coming from inside the room. I found that there was a person squatting outside the window.
". Then we wish the shipyard a smooth opening and prepare for negotiations with the Delarian people in the coming year."
Prince William raised his glass and touched it with Earl Granger in the air. He seemed to be in a good mood. Earl Granger also raised his glass respectfully, took a sip from the glass, and his eyes were quite sharp:
"Your Highness, can the last payment for the project be allocated before the end of this month as planned?"
The glass goblet was gently put down:
"Since the start of the project, every planned allocation will be one or two days later than the last one. Now the last project payment involves the wages of local workers and the balance payment of more than half of the project material merchants. This The money must be received before the unveiling.”
Because Shade could only see the back of the prince's head, he couldn't see his expression:
"Project money."
Prince William's tone was rather frivolous, while the Earl's expression was extremely serious.
"Count Granger, you should know that this money is under the control of the Kingdom's Treasury. We all know who the Minister of Finance, Count Grandet, is. The money will definitely arrive, don't be so anxious."
"Many people are counting on this money to make a living in the spring. Last time I talked about this matter with Her Royal Highness Margaret, she said she would find a way."
The Earl mentioned Margaret, and Prince William seemed a little unhappy:
"Don't discuss everything with Margaret. She is the princess and I am the prince. Besides, what's the use of Margaret's promise? Isn't she busy meeting with the rubes from the Stonemasons Association recently? Where can I find the time to take care of this matter?"
Earl Granger hesitated to speak:
"But if the money doesn't arrive as soon as possible, I'm worried that someone will cause trouble during the opening ceremony of the shipyard. You also know that because of the money from the Stonemasons Association more than ten years ago, the locals don't trust... ."
"Making trouble at the opening ceremony? This is not okay!"
Prince William’s voice suddenly became louder:
"What did Margaret tell you? No, no, I mean, although Margaret is a girl, she still has some abilities. What did she say?"
He paced back and forth in front of the window, but the count did not show surprise on his expression at the prince's attitude changing so quickly:
"Her Royal Highness Margaret said that she would write to His Majesty to inform him of this matter. At the same time, she also told me that during the review at the end of last year, the Kingdom's Treasury Department was found to have a large amount of loopholes."
"I heard that too."
The prince nodded, and Earl Granger looked at him:
"Her Royal Highness Margaret said that the money was probably embezzled by someone to participate in the gambling game played by players in the big city last autumn. But who would have thought that the winner this time was actually the lover of the Grand Duke of the North? So? Since the beginning of 1854, every appropriation from the Ministry of Finance has been delayed to deal with the review. This is a procedural matter and it is difficult to shake it. However, she said that if it cannot be done, it will be up to the local nobles and His Highness himself. For a sum of money, if you settle the most critical payment first, it won’t actually be much.”
The Earl's speech slowed down, probably because he saw something wrong on Prince William's face, but he still went on speaking:
"A few days ago, I have discussed it with the local nobles. In principle, everyone agrees with this suggestion. We are just waiting for Her Majesty Margaret to receive a reply from His Majesty to confirm Willendale's attitude."
