The Grand View Garden is a happy daughter country, where there are natural and pure Shi Xiangyun, lowly and infatuated aged officials, romantic and clever Qingwen, considerate assailants and so on. As Jia Baoyu said, the unmarried daughter is really pure and a shining pearl. So in the Grand View Garden, are all unmarried daughters like this?

The second meaning of Jia Baoyu's wise words: The girl is married. Although she is a bead, she has no luster. She is a dead bead. Jia Baoyu's words seem to have some truth. Those married daughters will naturally focus on reality and become more practical because they have set up their own small families. Just like Wang Xifeng, before she got married, she might be a treasure, but when she got married, she took advantage of her power. There are also those daughters-in-law and wives in the Grand View Garden who are intrigued and can't stop for a moment. So why do married girls become so hateful? Are all women like this?

The most cruel sentence of Jia Baoyu's wisdom is that "when a woman gets older, she becomes not a pearl, but a fish's eye". This is a great blow to the old woman. As a matter of fact, in A Dream of Red Mansions, the fish eyes are really disgusting.
