What Chen Yi could not have imagined was that after he returned to the room, Ning Qing sneaked over and talked to him.

Ning Qing slipped into Chen Yi's room like a thief. Facing Chen Yi's surprised look, she felt a little embarrassed, and she twisted her hands and said, "Zi Ying, I can't sleep. I want to ask you, what did the master tell you just now?"

Looking at the cute little Taoist nun, Chen Yi couldn't help but smile and said softly: "Miss Qing'er, your master is going to diagnose an old friend. It may take a few days to come back. He and your two senior brothers will go there and let you and me stay in the inn. We will notify us if there is anything. If we have nothing to do, we can go out and play by ourselves..."

"It's true. Master didn't even tell me this!" Ning Qing, who was obviously relieved, smiled, "I understand. Master wants me to be your guide and take you to familiarize yourself with the situation in Chang'an City, so that you won't go out and get lost, and... and......."

"What else?" Chen Yi asked in confusion when he saw the little Taoist nun's expression flashing.

Under the dim candlelight, Ning Qing's hesitant look looked even more charming, making Chen Yi not want to take his eyes away!

"It's nothing!" Ning Qing shook his head and looked at Chen Yi and said, "Master will leave us some money. Then we will go to the West Market first tomorrow. You have to buy a few decent clothes to wear. Master said, it's not appropriate for you to wear the clothes of the people in our view!"

"That's right, it's necessary to buy a few pieces of clothes, but..." Chen Yi hesitated for a moment and expressed his plans, "Miss Qing'er, I have money on myself, and those golden leaves are for spending! Master Sun saved me, so I can't use your money anymore. Let's do this. Tomorrow we will find a money house to exchange for some copper coins, so as not to have no money to spend when it is useful in the future!"

Gold is not the currency circulating on the market now. It is quite a large-scale check in the ages. The main thing that can be used for trading on the market is copper coins. Without copper coins in your pocket, it is difficult to buy things with gold leaves. Vendors generally don’t collect them and can only exchange them first.

Ning Qing looked at Chen Yi twice, and his expression seemed a little strange, but after thinking about it, he agreed, "Okay, tomorrow we will go to Xishi City to find a gold and silver store that can be exchanged for copper coins, exchange for copper coins, and then find a store that sells clothes. You can buy a few clothes first, and then... let's play in Xishi City, and if you have time, go to other places to see..."

Chen Yi knew that Ning Qing had something to hide from him. He thought that Sun Simiao had another order, but he just didn't let him know. He stopped asking questions. Instead, he followed Ning Qing's words: "I have heard that Xishi is the most lively place in Chang'an. There are strange things from all over the place. Let's go shopping tomorrow and buy some things back... By the way, Miss Qing'er, besides Xishi, what other fun places are there in Chang'an City? Where do you want to take me?"

"Where do you want to go?" Ning Qing tilted his head and asked Chen Yi, "If you want to go, I will accompany you!"

Chen Yi looked at Ning Qing with a sincere face and said, "Dongshi also wants to go and see... I also want to go and take a look on the main streets in Chang'an City. We can just ride a horse and run around. And... I also want to go and see how the Daming Palace looks majestic!"

Ning Qing was a little confused about Chen Yi's request, "The East City is all luxury things, we can't afford it, and it's not lively! Why don't we go to the East City, just go for a while in the West City. I've been to both places. The East City is not fun at all, and the West City is much more fun! Also, there is nothing good on the street, it's almost the same. It's not close to the Imperial City, so you can only look from afar..." Ning Qing glanced at Chen Yi, who was quite interested, and immediately changed his words, "But... But, if you really want to go, I'll accompany you to see!"

"Okay, let's take a break earlier. We have been running for a day today and are tired. We will get up early tomorrow, find a shop first, exchange some copper coins, and then go shopping in other places..."

Ning Qing showed a faint disappointment on her face, but she immediately agreed: "Okay, you should rest early, I'll go back to the room first!"

－－－－－－－－－－－－

The next morning, Chen Yi was awakened in a daze. He heard the movement and the sound of talking and immediately got up, opened the window and saw Sun Simiao and Wang Chong. Liu Hai was directing a few people he didn't know to put some things in a large carriage. Then the three of them got on the carriage. The driving people immediately waved their whips to drive away the horses pulling the carriage. Strangers who came from somewhere followed behind the carriage on horseback.

The car drove eastward, and then turned a corner on the street and couldn't see it.

This is a luxuriously decorated carriage with a few people accompanying the carriage. When Sun Simiao and his party walked, it was not yet dawn and there were no other idle people on the street. According to Chen Yi's estimate, the door drum had not yet sounded!

Chen Yi didn't expect that Sun Simiao had gone out so early, and he was still riding in such a not-so-simple carriage. There were so many people coming to greet him. While he was a little surprised, his sense of mystery and curiosity became stronger and he wanted to know what they were doing. Unfortunately, he had no place to inquire. He was not familiar with Chang'an, and now he was not able to go out to the streets, so he could not track and find out their whereabouts.

Seeing the carriage disappearing from sight, Chen Yi retracted his head and closed the window. After dressing neatly, he opened the door and poked his head out to check the situation in the room next to him. He found that Qingning's door was still closed. The girl who had been riding a horse for a day should be so tired that she was still sleeping. He didn't walk out and closed the door again. He returned to the house and first tidy up the water he prepared last night. His long hair felt a bit cumbersome and not easy to comb. Chen Yi thought of Ning Qing next door. When he combed his hair these days, Ning Qing would come to help, but when she helped him comb his hair, it felt strange and a little ambiguous. Chen Yi didn't dare to bother this pretty and cute little girl!

After taking some time to sort out, Chen Yi moved his hands and feet in the room, which was considered a morning exercise. He took a shower last night and slept well at night. Today, he felt relaxed and energetic, and had a strong exercise of his hands and feet.

While Chen Yi was staging, he heard drums coming from the street outside. After a while, Qingning came over to knock on the door.

Chen Yi, who opened the poor family, was surprised to see that Qingning today did not wear Taoist robe, but changed into an ordinary girl's outfit. Her hair was not simply wrapped in a cloth towel like a few days ago, and she made some tricks, just like a movie or an ancient girl in TV. Anyway, no one could see that she was a Taoist nun, but a young and beautiful girl, who just looked a little tender and shy.

Seeing Chen Yi staring at her, Qing Ning's pretty face turned slightly red, she hid in Chen Yi's eyes, grabbed the corner of her clothes with her hands and said with a slight twist: "Zi Ying... have you gotten up? I also want... Oh, the master and the two senior brothers have left. I have asked the store to prepare breakfast and come to our room later. We have breakfast and set off. How about it?"

"Well, okay, since your master and the others are out, then we have breakfast first and then go to the street for a good walk, find a place to exchange for copper coins, then go to buy clothes, go to the West Market, and then go... Hehe... I'll invite you to the tavern for a big meal!" Chen Yi said with a smile, looking at Ning Qing, who showed a shy expression in front of him, his excitement could not be described in words.

"Ziying, after breakfast, let's go to where to play first! The market will not open until almost noon. If you want to exchange copper coins, you will also open after noon! And..." Ning Qing's face slowly calmed down, glanced at Chen Yi and said, "You have to ask the inn shopkeeper how much the current exchange price is. You are not familiar with the place, so that people will not be cheated in a while!"

After listening to Qingning's story, Chen Yi also understood that at this time, there were very few merchants selling things in Chang'an City except for the East and West City. Most of the merchants who can exchange gold and silver, such as money shops and pawn shops, are located in the East and West City. The doors of the East and West City only open at noon. Those who need to exchange valuables such as gold, silver, and silk usually have to open after the doors of the East and West City. Of course, some other shops, such as places like Pingkangfang where brothels are gathered and other lively shops, also have such shops, but it is not convenient to go or it is too easy to find.

"I understand!" Chen Yi nodded to show his clarity and smiled at Ning Qing. This little Taoist nun is still relatively smart and can think of this. At this time, a voice came from outside the door. It was the waiter who brought their breakfast!

－－－－－－－－－－

After breakfast, the two went out because there were still many roads to the West City. In addition, Chen Yi thought of walking on the street, so he rode his horse. The two of them drove side by side and ran forward with words. On the streets of Chang'an, there were still quite a few people riding horses, but there were more people driving ox carts and horse carts on the road. The horses they rode were of good quality and white. In addition, they looked young. Although their clothes were not gorgeous, they were handsome and attractive.

However, neither of them was interested in the amazing eyes of passers-by, and they didn't even pay attention to whether anyone was watching them, jogging and jogging. Chen Yi was very careful to appreciate the architectural styles on both sides of the street while talking, and felt that his eyes were not enough. Qingning explained to Chen Yi along the way some neighbors in Chang'an City, as well as some special buildings and other things, like a tour guide.

Although the lively and prosperous Chang'an Street is incomparable to Xi'an in later generations, Chen Yi was amazed by the neat and rigorous urban layout, the wide streets, and the overall feeling of a completely ancient charm. If these buildings could be preserved to the era in which he lived in later generations, each building would be a national key cultural relics protection unit. Unfortunately, there were very few buildings left in later generations in the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, the most attractive thing about Chang'an City is the two imperial palaces - Tai Chi Palace and Daming Palace. Chen Yi also came to the imperial city under the guidance of Ning Qing.
