Ma Shiming had been a servant by Zhou Qi's side since childhood. As he grew up, he, along with a few other servants who also grew up with Zhou Qi, became part of the entourage serving Zhou Qi.
However, Zhou Qi disliked ostentation when he went out and usually only brought along his long-term follower, Zhou Jingyi. The other servants were stationed at various residences he frequented. Both the Western Capital and Anping County had several servants stationed long-term, and Ma Shiming was stationed in the Western Capital.
