Or HaChaim on Genesis 29:20/אור החיים על בראשית כ״ט:כ׳
אוַיַּעֲבֹד יַעֲקֹב בְּרָחֵל וְגוֹ׳. טַעַם אָמְרוֹ בְּרָחֵל, פֵּרוּשׁ, הָיָה מְפַרְסֵם בִּשְׁעַת עֲבוֹדָה כִּי בְּעַד רָחֵל הָיָה עוֹבֵד וְהִיא לוֹ חֵלֶף עֲבוֹדָתוֹ מִלָּבָן, גַּם מְפַרְסֵם לִשְׁלוֹל לֵאָה לְבַל יִשָּׁכַח הַדָּבָר וְתִהְיֶה כְּפִירָה בֵּינוֹ וּבֵינוֹ.
1 ויעבד יעקב ברחל, Jacob served for Rachel, etc. The reason the Torah mentions ברחל is that Jacob made a public announcement at the time that his service with Laban was for Rachel and that her hand in marriage was the wages Laban had agreed to pay him in return for his service. A major reason he made this public pronouncement was to make it clear that he did not serve for Leah.
