In the Prince Manor, Xie Jue hosted Grandmaster Zhang and Mr. Zhou in the courtyard. Back then, Xie Zhang had placed a table shaped like a "Qu Shui Liu Shang" stream in the courtyard. Scholars and literati loved its elegance, making it perfect for entertaining them.
Grandmaster Zhang and Elder Lin shared a close relationship. When Xie Jue was a child, Elder Lin had fostered him for several years, during which he often met Grandmaster Zhang and attended his lectures on strategy and arithmetic. Mr. Zhou, who taught at the Imperial College, was Xie Jue's mentor. Despite his cold temperament, Xie Jue's upbringing in an established family ensured he observed proper etiquette, welcoming them with due respect.
