In the idiom "Happy ever after", gold and jade mean gold and beautiful jade. There are gold and precious stones everywhere. So the extended meaning is to describe wealth. Later, the word was also used to describe wealth and talent.
This idiom comes from the ninth chapter of Laozi in the pre-Qin period: "Be happy with it and don't stay.". Being rich and arrogant is to blame. Retirement from work, worldly wisdom. " Translated into vernacular, it is happiness from now on. How long can you keep it? Being rich and arrogant is asking for it! It's over. If you have yourself, your fame will be gone. This is heaven. It means that you can't be arrogant if you have more property, and you can't be proud if you have a big reputation. After work, retirement is the best way.
