Wen Ruan translated it somewhat awkwardly.
Lucas said that Song Yan loved her very much and asked if Wen Ruan could try on the cheongsam that Song Yan had made for her, because his wife's height was similar to Wen Ruan's and he wanted to use it as a reference.
Wen Ruan and Song Yan discussed it and agreed.
Master Yao took out the cheongsam that Song Yan had ordered.
When Wen Ruan walked out of the room in her cheongsam, everyone present was stunned. It suited her perfectly. It was a snow-white brocade cheongsam, made of smooth, silky white brocade. When Wen Ruan wore it, she looked as if covered in pure snow, exuding a pure and elegant temperament.
Lucas also called her the "Eastern Goddess" from the side, while Song Yan smiled gently at Wen Ruan.
He learned that the cheongsams here are generally made to order. Although Lucas knew his wife's measurements, it would still take time to make one, and the fastest one might take at least half a month.
Lucas said that a friend of his would be coming to China soon, and he could pay in advance, then ask Song Yan to bring his friend to pick up the finished garments. Everyone agreed.
Lucas carefully selected fabrics and styles for his wife, seemingly admiring every single piece. He then made a grand gesture, ordering that he would have one of the fifteen famous cheongsams that Song Yan had just introduced made for him.
Upon hearing this, Song Yan quickly went to communicate with the master craftsman, and Master Yao couldn't stop smiling.
After leaving the cheongsam shop, the group went to experience incense making and tea ceremony. Lucas also placed orders for the items he liked, including a large order of various Chinese spices and teas, but the shop they visited was small and didn't have much stock.
Song Yan repeatedly said that he could apply to his superiors to arrange for the goods to be transferred to him, and even delivered to the dock, but it might take two days.
Lucas said he could wait another day, and after they negotiated a "suitable" price and had dinner, he was sent back to the guesthouse.
They agreed that Song Yan and Wen Ruan would continue to show him China's magnificent architecture the next day.
Lucas expressed his satisfaction and gratitude for the two's warm hospitality, and they agreed to meet again early the next morning.
