Just as Gu Xiaoyou was making preparations, Zhixia came back with scissors.

Holding a pair of black scissors in both hands, Zhixia said respectfully: "Miss, I have brought the scissors."

"Okay, sit next to me." Gu Xiaoyou glanced at her, pulled out a chair, and motioned for Zhixia to sit down.

"Yes." Zhixia responded obediently and sat on the chair obediently.

Zhixia's delicate face was tense, and she looked at Gu Xiaoyou with bright eyes. She was holding scissors in one hand and putting the other on her knees. She was sitting neatly, as if she were a modern primary school student entering class for the first time.

Gu Xiaoyou was amused by her appearance: "Don't be nervous, just act as usual."

"This is how my slave usually behaves. Miss, please just speak directly." Zhixia said with a bit of shyness.

"Okay, let me start talking. Put the scissors aside first, and I will teach you how to trace the pattern first." Gu Xiaoyou said carefully: "The tip of the knife points outward, so as not to prick your hand."

"Okay, miss, I understand." Zhixia responded obediently, and placed the scissors a little further away from her body as instructed by taking care of Xiaoyou, deliberately placing the tip of the knife facing outward.

Gu Xiaoyou cut the colored paper on the table into four square pieces of paper with a paper knife, gave one to Zhixia, and picked up one himself: "First, fold the colored paper diagonally diagonally together."

"Oh, okay." Zhixia followed Gu Xiaoyou's movements and folded the colored paper in half.

"Fold it in half again." Gu Xiaoyou glanced at the paper pattern in Zhixia's hand and saw that she was folding it correctly, so he continued teaching.

Zhixia immediately followed her instructions. Gu Xiaoyou watched her fold it and said, "After folding the paper, draw patterns on it."

As he spoke, he picked up the pen and put the triangular colored paper in his hand in the right position: "The folded line of the triangle points toward you, and the unfolded direction points toward the outside."

"Yes." Zhixia carefully observed the position where Gu Xiaoyou held it and immediately straightened the triangle.

After confirming that it was correct, Gu Xiaoyou picked up the pen and started tracing on the paper. While tracing, he said: "This pattern is a bit complicated. You can watch me draw it first. When I finish it, you can follow it."

"Yeah." Zhixia responded, leaning forward slightly and carefully looking at the patterns drawn by Gu Xiaoyou.

Gu Xiaoyou drew this pattern several times in one night, and it was clearly remembered in his mind. He held the pen and moved it without hesitation, and quickly finished the pattern.

"Okay, just trace it, be careful, don't trace it wrong." Gu Xiaoyou placed the pattern in front of Zhi Xia and warned.

Zhixia nodded in response, first looked at it carefully, then picked up a fine brush, dipped it in ink, and drew lines on the paper.

Although Zhixia is young, she is very careful and patient. She spent some time and accurately traced the pattern.

"My slave, the painting is done." Zhi Xia Zai checked it carefully before showing Gu Xiaoyou the colored paper in his hand to check.

Gu Xiaoyou took it and took a look, hey, this girl's drawing looks like a copy, it's exactly the same as what she drew.

"You draw very well, now you can pick up your little scissors." Gu Xiaoyou raised his eyebrows and said.

"Okay." Finally reaching the most anticipated step, Zhixia couldn't wait to pick up the scissors.

"Use scissors to cut along the direction of the solid line, and follow the line, so that the lines of the cut pattern will be smooth." Gu Xiaoyou took the scissors and slowed down to explain to Zhixia step by step: "Be sure to stick to the

Cut the outside of the black tracing line, and do not leave black on the paper."

Zhixia stared intently at Gu Xiaoyou's white hand movements, following her instructions step by step to cut the paper.

Unknowingly, Gu Xiaoyou has made the last cut: "All the tracing lines have been cut, and now it's time to accept the results."

Gu Xiaoyou put the scissors on the table, and used her slender fingers to gently remove the scraps of paper still left on the colored paper. Finally, with a slight shake, she unfolded the colored paper, and the exquisite paper-cut picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water was born.

"Let me see what you cut." Gu Xiaoyou put the cut pattern on the table and said to Zhixia.

Zhixia plucked away the scraps of paper and handed the colored paper to Gu Xiaoyou: "Here you go."

Gu Xiaoyou took it and first looked to see if there were any black lines left where Zhi Xia had cut it. Then he reached out and touched the cut area: "It's cut very well. There are no black lines and no obstructions."

Gu Xiaoyou praised, then unfolded the colored paper in his hand, and the colored paper was successfully cut into a picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water.

The patterns she cut on the table were stacked with those cut by Zhixia. The two paper cuts blended together perfectly, as if they were one pair of paper cuts.

"Okay, you did such a good job on the first cut." Gu Xiaoyou praised in surprise. He didn't expect Zhixia to be so skillful with her hands.

Zhixia suddenly became shy after being praised by Gu Xiaoyou.

"Miss, you are so complimentary. I am so stupid."

"You're not stupid. I've taught so many people, and you were the first one to pass the exam." Gu Xiaoyou said sincerely.

She thought that Zhixia seemed to be very dexterous in combing her hair into buns, and she could do four or five buns at first.

Since serving her, I have deliberately learned several more buns from other maids, and it seems that she has not had the same hairstyle for half a month.

Thinking about it this way, Zhixia, this girl, doesn't know how to be dexterous, and she seems to have a good memory.

"Did you remember all the tricks just now?" Gu Xiaoyou asked curiously, looking at Zhixia expectantly.

"I have remembered it, I just don't know if I remember it correctly." Zhixia replied hesitantly.

"You draw it again and I'll take a look." Gu Xiaoyou immediately took a new piece of colored paper to Zhixia.

Zhixia took it and carefully folded the colored paper into a triangle. After thinking about it, she cautiously picked up the pen and started drawing on the colored paper.

Gu Xiaoyou kept watching Zhixia's movements closely and saw that she drew the pattern on the paper without any hesitation. Although her movements were a bit slow, she was able to do it accurately.

"Wow, Zhixia, you just drew it once and you remembered it all!" Gu Xiaoyou exclaimed, has she discovered the genius of paper-cutting?

Zhixia lowered her head in embarrassment and said softly: "My mother is an embroiderer, and my family is full of embroidery patterns. When I was little, I didn't have any hobbies, but I was willing to draw patterns, so remember to be faster."

"Oh, let me see your little head, it looks so good."

Gu Xiaoyou happily held Zhixia's little face and looked at her as if she had discovered a new world, making Zhixia's face turn red.

"Miss, please stop teasing me."

"I'm not teasing you, you are the treasure I discovered now!" Gu Xiaoyou said with a smile: "As long as I teach you, I will be liberated."

"Liberation?" Zhixia didn't quite understand what her young lady meant, so she looked at her in confusion.
